How do I become a music critic?
in Music ·
The public's taste is always the polar opposite of the critics'. Whatever a critic trashes usually sells like hotcakes, while the stuff they rave about won't even move if you gave it away for free.

No, once Fleishman leaves the show (which should be in about three episodes), there's still one more season left!

It’s just not the same once Fleishman leaves.
How to increase posts per page?

Why did they increase the number of posts per page? It takes me three days of riding just to reach the bottom now. Absolute nightmare.
Could Israel join NATO?

Besides, the USA backs them so heavily that Israel doesn't even need formal membership.

No, Lebanon NEVER performed!
The only one was Morocco in 1980, and they were the penultimate act.

Because they're EBU members!

It honestly feels a bit like watching the actual Eurovision while sitting with my late grandmother, listening to her comment on a performance by Israel, or maybe Lebanon back in the day when they used to compete in the Eurovision Song Contest. It all seems quite surreal, I guess... 😍
Lebanon never actually competed in the Eurovision Song Contest! They wanted to join in 2005, but only on the condition that the TV networks wouldn't broadcast the Israeli entry and would run commercials instead. The EBU basically told them, "It's either Israel or nothing." Lebanon replied, "Fine, then nothing!" And the EBU just said, "See ya!"
Look, Israel had a political entry in 2007, Ukraine in 2005, and Greece back in '76 and '95, yet nobody made a fuss about it.
And that’s not even mentioning all the political chatter during the voting itself!

After the EBU rejected Georgia's entry over political undertones, the country has decided to pull out of Eurovision 2009 entirely.
“We don’t wanna put in” is the title of the song by Stefan and 3G intended for this year's Eurovision. However, because the EBU blocked the lyrics on the grounds that they violate rules prohibiting political content, Georgia officially withdrew today.
“We have decided not to change the lyrics or pick a different song. We aren't going to Moscow for Eurovision 2009,” stated Natia Uznadze, the head of Georgian National Television (GPB). “We still don't understand why the EBU made this call. No concrete explanation was provided.”
A panel of experts ruled yesterday that the song violates EBU regulations stating that “lyrics, speech, or gestures of a political or similar nature will not be permitted during Eurovision.” A Georgian producer working with the EBU suggested the rejection might be due to pressure from Russia. “If that’s the case, it’s unacceptable. Where exactly are the political connotations or insults in these lyrics?” asked Kakhaber Tsiskaridze.
Georgia initially considered withdrawing from this year's Eurovision due to the war with Russia, but decided to return following their win at Junior Eurovision. It will be interesting to see how this develops and whether Georgia sticks to its decision to boycott Eurovision in Moscow.

Why the break?
Adele

I own all her CDs. She’s got some great tracks, but it gets repetitive after a while. There’s this specific echo in all her songs that eventually just starts to grate on my nerves.

My doctors insisted I get my testosterone levels checked, and as it turns out, everything is perfectly within the normal range.

Trust me, I didn't choose this; I've been gay since birth. Even as a kid, I realized I was looking at guys differently than girls. I'd do just about anything to be straight.
