She's curating the London literary festival in October. Why release a single then????
-
-
This makes sense. As pointed out already, she's busy doing other things in October.
-
-
She's by far (and it's not even close) the most interesting MPG out there. Actually has a life outside of work and a hinterland. If you can't see that, well it's your loss.

Oh come on, whatever the pros and cons fish is very very important for Iceland. It's a huge industry there. They, rightly, are going to view its future as an important factor in any EU relationship.

A "concentric circles" EU or if you like "Europe à la carte" was always a more sensible idea than the all or nothing nature of the EU as currently constituted. Those that wish to integrate further and faster (Germany,France(?), Belgium, Italy, Spain. Portugal, the Baltics etc ?) could and those that want a slower pace (Denmark. Sweden, Netherlands, etc) could be accommodated. Would have kept the UK in the fold too somewhere. As it is you've got the intregrationists frustrated by the slow pace, as they see it, and others constantly worried it's going too far too fast.

Well, plausible for sure but I'm still not convinced. I believe Callum is doing a couple of films in the US over the next few months which is why, I believe, they are effectively living for that time in the US (lots of photo dumps from New York recently). Now that doesn't stop her hopping around the planet of course for forays and you could argue it's great for a US launch of course but I just can't feel it in my bones that she wouldn't be back in London to do the start of DL4.

Ok enough of being polite. The English is so appalling it doesn't make sense. And just for clarity I'm a native speaker. I think ( stress think, because it's hard to work out), you were dissing Canada?
-
Indeed. But I just cannot fathom out the meaning from what was written. Sorry 🤷♂️
-
She has nearly 59 billion views/listens on Spotify and YouTube plus whatever on deezer etc etc. last tour grossed about $200m Not MPG worthy? Serious question.
-
Sorry, I'm completely confused what you are trying to say here🤷♂️
-
Let's hope not. Because these days you get about two weeks and then it's wall to wall reindeers and Christmas songs😱
-
She is curating the London literary festival which runs second half of October into the start of November , so I don't see how that works to be honest.
-
How?
-
I just wrote a reply in the thread about "is she an MPG?" to say "yes but her life is diversifying" and this turns up 20 mins later 😁 💅.
-
Of course she is. "Pandemic fad" is a particularly nuts take on here given DL1 from 2017 has insane billions of streams ( 13bn/14bn? Can't be bothered to look it up but it's huge). Even DL 3 will have two billion steamers within a few weeks too and her last tour grossed about $200 million. That said, she's so diversified these days given her huge partnership/modelling contracts and her seriousness with the literary interviews and book club ( note to anyone expecting DL 4 soon she's actually curating the London literary festival, (all rather high brow) at the end of October/start of November so how's that going to work with a DL4 launch? - spoiler: it doesn't), that you can't help feeling she's pretty close to morphing into a brand/thing of her own making (lifestyle aspirations?) beyond singing because she is blessed with lots of abilities and opportunities. And of course now she's married, so there's Callum's life and work to be taken into account too. All of which means she has the ability, if she so desires, to step off the album/tour/studio/album/tour/studio grind because she's doesn't need the money, and I suspect she's intellectually curious about life. Edit: and within minutes of writing this she pops up on the cover of the latest edition of Vogue Italia…. …. Just sayin'.

Latest update: Infantino had a meeting in Morocco with some FIFA officials present, issued a statement essentially saying was sorry about the part sell off issues. UEFA responded today with their own statement saying this didn't address their issues enough, boycott of FIFA events still stands, and they reiterated no confidence in Infantino. Essentially looking like Infantino walks away or UEFA does. Don't think he can survive in his job, personally. Bigger question is what will UEFA demand by the way of reformed governance going forwards?
-
Inevitable, as soon as UEFA flexed its real power. It's now also "lost confidence" in Infantino. He's toast, just a matter of how long. Noises being made in Europe about reforming the structures of FIFA too, which translates to they've had enough of micro states with dodgy football associations dictating to them when they're the ones actually creating the cash. I sympathise totally. Tournaments in deserts at the wrong time of year, with obscene stadium construction beyond any sustainable long term needs, dynamic pricing, peace prizes, 27 minute long half time nonsense, hydration advert breaks in air conditioning , and presidential interference to get suspensions rescinded for host nations. I think Europe's just had enough of it all without major reform, and hopefully will continue to threaten to walk away to get some sense knocked into some heads.
-
It certainly puts a darker spin in my mind on the hydration breaks/halftime show/ red card being rescinded/ dodgy refereeing &VAR because you can now see a plausible financial motive. Now that's not to say that's what happened here but like Ceasar's wife the competition has to be seen as purer than pure otherwise its whole validity goes out of the window. I certainly don't want the US anywhere near hosting this event again given all that's happened over the past few weeks.

Yes Concacaf have spoken out now, as have Asia, which is good.
