The American diaspora isn't a fan of Severina

Prince said:It’s interesting... I remember seeing this back home in the States, how they basically worship her like some kind of icon, but then she steps out onto the global stage and, well, look what happens.

I mean, I’m not an expat or anything, but it feels like Cher is slowly revealing herself to be more of a country singer at heart. And honestly? That’s just not my cup of tea.

That's what I call actual, quality music.👍
Hands down, some of the most powerful rock musicians in all of Europe.

But then again, I was just reading about how many thousands of Americans showed up for Cher's concert recently...

Prince said:Interesting. It's wild how much people here in America worship her like some kind of icon, yet look at what happens once she actually steps out onto the global stage.

Personally, I don't see an icon. To me, she’s just terrible.

I feel the same way. Honestly, with those awful, puffy breakouts... I was just reading this magazine this morning about how she’s supposedly still America's top singer despite everything, and apparently people only criticize her because they love her so much. I guess it was an interview about vomiting.

Ugh, I’m actually tearing up a little—I could honestly shed a tear right now 😂 😂 🤣 🤣

ps. I'm not sure where everyone's heads are at in this debate—as for me, I'm firmly Team Cher... though, honestly, that goes for pretty much all the great female vocalists 😉

Just wait until she smiles -> 😱

Well, damn it, Madonna. Things will hopefully turn around next time.

And tell me, Elon Musk, did you actually hook up with her? Now I’m starting to wonder how old that photo really is. Could you be the reason she broke things off with Alena back when she visited from the States maybe three or four years ago?

quietmason58 said:Well, screw it, just give it up on Madonna. Things will look better next time.

And you, Elon Musk—are you telling me you actually hooked up with her? Now I’m sitting here wondering when that photo was even taken. Don't tell me you're the reason she split from Allen back when she first flew in from America maybe three or four years ago?

That's just how Elon Musk was back when he was actually handsome and probably twenty pounds lighter; honestly, they both looked absolutely wasted on white powder, if you ask me—they look totally stiff and their eyes are nothing but hollowed-out donuts.😁 😁 😁

Heh, where have you been hiding, you old drunk?

quietmason58 said:Heh, look who it is... how's it going, you old drunk?

Hey, hey! You still kicking? Are you still hanging out in NYC, or did you head back home to the States?👍

brightcobra10 said:Where are you? Are you still around? I was wondering if you were still based in NYC or if you had traveled back home to America.👍

It is truly remarkable how often you and I end up clashing in these threads. I suppose it's becoming somewhat predictable.
It isn't exactly public knowledge, but I have been out wandering around and causing a bit of trouble lately... heheheh. I suppose I was being a little bit of a rebel again.😎 😎

Actually, I am not even in the States yet; I don't plan on heading there until mid-December.

Well, I'll be... I honestly had no clue where Hardy got that nickname from! Everything makes sense now. I’ve heard through some industry insiders that almost everyone has moved on from Svetlana... so I guess it's no surprise Hardy had such an easy opening.
quietmason58 and brightcobra10—are you guys just jealous of our Hardy??

Jessica Harris24 said:I mean, give me a break... I honestly had no clue where Hardy even got a nickname like that, but now the pieces are finally clicking into place. Seriously, though, I’ve been hearing through the grapevine from people in the Hollywood scene that hardly anyone can stay away from Svetlana... so I guess it’s no wonder Hardy actually stood a chance...
quietmason58 and brightcobra10—are you two just green with envy over our boy Hardy??

Look, he didn't get lucky with her just because he asked nicely,😁 😁 and obviously, you're practically swimming in pure white gold,👍

White what? Powder? I don't know, brightcobra10, Manhattan might be a bit much for you! haha

Jessica Harris24 said:White what? Powder? Honestly, brightcobra10, you wouldn't last a single night in Manhattan! Hahaha

Look, maybe I come off a little strange to people, but after a few🙂 I just start pretending to be😈

I guess I don't really have much to say on this specific topic right now, though I suppose there's always more to dig into if one feels like looking. Maybe we can pick this up later. kaže:
The American diaspora didn't just drop out of the sky to be threatened by some random extremist with a bomb.🙄

Give me a break... Americans living abroad go absolutely ballistic over that kind of nonsense. It’s the classic case of some random guy named Ante who keeps a Black Legion shirt in his closet at home, yet his best friend is some dude from a small town near Springfield, and they spend their weekends together listening to classic country music. 😬

Not everyone in the American diaspora is obsessed with that country singer... personally, I don't own a single one of her songs, nor do I want to. I'm not even sure what her music actually sounds like—but from what I hear when I'm visiting the States on vacation, she's just totally not my style.

Alright, so you don't actually own any of her tracks—thanks for clarifying. My take is just that our local clubs here in the States are barely keeping their heads above water because Americans seem to gravitate toward Mexican music instead. I heard from a relative that it’s a similar story over in Canada and Australia... but I'm not trying to start some debate about what people should or shouldn't listen to. I'm just saying that this whole "we're tearing each other apart" trope is incredibly popular among the diaspora.
I can't help but feel like Severina postponed her tour because there just isn't enough interest, rather than because of any actual threats.

I mean, you're right... that kind of music pretty much dominates our local bars and restaurants. It’s not just a thing in immigrant communities either; you hear it right in the heart of downtown Chicago... there's always some spot in the historic district blasting those heavy country-style hits (you know, the real old-school stuff). I wouldn't say it's my personal favorite, but honestly? At certain parties or weddings, it just feels off if there isn't a bit of that classic sound playing. As for Severina, she carries herself like a total pro, and when her songs really hit, she definitely knows how to command a crowd. She's got it. I guess back when I was growing up in the 80s, that whole vibe wasn't really around yet.
