I know you must get this all the time, but I've got to thank you for giving me access to more Severina knowledge than I ever imagined possible.
It's almost like reading women's magazines imported into Banja Luka from Croatia, except I understand all the words this time, instead of relying on pictures and semi-guessing at the rest.
Oh, there'll be more. Much more. Just wait till the UK/German/Swedish tabloids find out a week or so before Eurovision about Severina's 'extracurricular' activities, for one thing.
And there was I thinking 'This ought to be a nice manageable little case study if it's actually true...' when we first started hearing about the plans for Moja štikla back in January...
I know you've been covering her a bit, but come on, you don't actually like it do you? So I know you study her music, but just as a forensic scientist wouldn't say he especially enjoys corpses, surely you haven't downloaded it have you? (VečList has it downloadable for the sinners amongst you!).
Take care,
Ed
I'm trying to keep an open mind, especially since what I deal with a lot of the time are value judgements about Severina/Brena/turbofolk/insert name here.
There certainly is material I wouldn't want to have to listen to if I wasn't researching it, but I can't say Seve falls into that category...
