I recognized these tracks too, but previously didn't know it was her.

IIRC the first time I heard anything about her, was coming across news articles written in english from the balkan region (ie. former yugloslavia, etc ...). Without any context, it seemed odd that news coming out of that region was about a British rockstar. Though it turned out her parents fled Kosovo during the early 1990s Yugoslav wars.

Re: Dua Lipa -- Discussion Thread

Saw her in 2018 in Kyiv of all places. She was the opening act for the champions league final I was at. Liverpool fans do a good version of one kiss. She’s doing London and Liverpool. I’ve tix for Atlanta. Never been there. So good opportunity. Also going to Dublin with friends to take in an Irish holiday.

Re: Dua Lipa -- Discussion Thread

Looks like I'm going to Dua Lipa's concert at the Kia Forum next October. My sister was buying tickets and asked if I wanted to go. She says this is your birthday gift for 2025. My birthday is in early October.

Re: Dua Lipa -- Discussion Thread

She appears to be more versatile singer with a greater range, than the stuff on her official albums/singles.


- cover of Cher "Believe"





- cover of Etta James "I Would Rather Go Blind"





- cover of Scorpions "Wind of Change"





- cover of AC DC "Highway To Hell"





- cover of Nena "99 Luftballons"


In the last video ^, it sounds like she is speaking to the crowd in German before the song 99 Luftballons. I don't know if she is fluent in German, but lyrics sound almost like the correct German pronunciation.

One of the few pop stars that I like. Not really familiar with her first album but the second and third get my white booty shaking.

Re: Dua Lipa -- Discussion Thread

Um, are you aware that she sells alternate collectable covers of her albums to her fans? Clearly she's the antichrist.

Re: Dua Lipa -- Discussion Thread

Meh, variant cover art is no big deal. When she starts rereleasing Future Nostalgia every week with two new songs then it will become obnoxious.

Here is my TikTok video of her performance of "Houdini" during her encore. It got everyone dancing.

Stage setup look pretty much identical to her last tour 3 years ago.

I wonder if other celebrities had the same thing happened and did not notice.

^ It happen but usually on a much smaller scale. It's usually just a cease and desist letter but Samsung is a huge company with a great reach that should know better and has a division that should have flagged this.
