Are you kidding me? I really hope that this is not true. I believe she also has a pretty young child…

I think (hope) JADE is a given on Saturday! She's a huge fan of the festival and the audience went feral during her set last year! Lily also said she has some surprises up her sleeve…

This is miles better than the album version. Way punchier and the second verse by JADE is a hoot!

I can't decipher a word being said in that video…

Shut up and read. She was NOT drunk driving. Even stupid TMZ is admitting that.

Are these handcuffs standard routine? Because it really doesn't seem like they were necessary at all! She seems very put together and willing to cooperate… also the same article stating that she passed two separate tests at the station? I wish people (including the state) where this concerned and precise when it came to her conservatorship back then!

Well Jeff instead of tweeting you could've taken a video… but most likely you didn't out of respect? lol

That's the most baffling thing with every report! We don't get any footage at all and if we do, it's like the worst quality possible… which would make sense back in 2010, but not today where literally everybody is able to produce 4K videos with their phones.

It's disgusting the lengths that TMZ is going (most likely in accordance with her family…) in order to once again frame her as this absolutely erratic and crazy person! This is exactly what happened over a decade ago.

It still baffles me why we're not seeing them do some promo performances! It would easily help them sell tickets for the tour. Easily!

Wow JoJo the vocal beast that you are… Demi sounds okay, but it's tough singing next to Joanna especially Too Little Too Late.

You know what would do wonders for their ticket sales in the US? Some promo performances. Like, right now!

That makes you downplaying this topic even more questionable… You're getting the core point wrong. Saying Czechoslovakia was "independent" and therefore not under Soviet control is just a very superficial reading of history. Yes, it was formally a sovereign state, but in reality it was part of the Soviet sphere of influence, with its political system, leadership and direction heavily aligned with Moscow. The clearest example is the Prague Spring, which was ended by a military intervention led by the Soviet Union. If a country gets invaded to stop its internal reforms, calling it fully independent is, at best, misleading. And again, "impossible to escape the influence" doesn't mean she personally grew up oppressed. It can refer to the broader societal and generational context that still shapes a country after decades under a system like that. You're arguing against a claim she isn't actually making.

Your take on this is pretty inaccurate and ironically privileged in itself… "Soviet influence in Slovakia where???" is just historically off. Slovakia was part of Czechoslovakia under Soviet control until 1989, so the influence absolutely existed, just not during her actual childhood if she grew up in the 90s or later. The disclaimer doesn't really read like she's claiming personal oppression though. It's more about using "KGB" as an aesthetic and making clear she's not glorifying what it actually stood for, especially in the current political climate. And if you don't know what the KGB is/was then educate yourself. Calling her "privileged" because of ballet training might be fair in a different discussion, but it doesn't really invalidate the historical reference she's making.
