#BIRTHDAY: Ester Peony from Romania is 29 today What do you think of stage shows? Should they be kept simple, in order to emphasise a song? Or is there anything wrong in a kickass dance routine or novel staging? Both can work. Just look at the contrast between, […]
#BIRTHDAY: Debrah Scarlett from Norway is 29 today A song like today’s song is one I don’t want to stop. You get them sometimes. They look a bit odd to start with but draw you in as they go along. By the end, you wish the song was […]
