120: "Baby One More Time" vs. "Genie in a Bottle"

Two pop princesses blitzed the charts in 1999, and they would always be compared even though their paths quickly diverged.

And.. Van Morrison at least has the honesty to say what he thinks. Lots of modern day celebs just play nice. I don't feel the need to agree or disagree with anyone, I want to enjoy music. I'm a musician myself and I want to be judged by my music, not my opinions. My opinions are not important, and neither are yours so kindly keep them to yourself before you ruin music even more, okay?

Most celebrities are narcissistic assholes, now its more in the open. And 99.5 % that act nice on camera are still assholes off camera. Time that people start realising this. Like euro24, the audience really think these 'artists' sit hand in hand backstage singing kumba ja. But it's a shark infested snake pit.

Asked you to do Eurovision 24 but better not. Since you always need to go political. Music and politics don't mix, euro24 was a perfect example. When it's about the music, let it just be Music then. Much more fun and isn't it song vs song, not this vs that, left vs right, up vs down it only divides. Nearly lost me there but your logo looks nice among the others.
