lol Jelena is the best. Her next album is supposed to come out later this year...I wonder who's song she will copy next.

Totally the last place I would expect to find a Karleusa topic, but still

I'm ambivalent... I'm not sure if I really like her music that much, it's folky to the extreme (especially her early stuff). But she's a totally hilarious celebrity. Have you read any of the interviews with her? She's just so arrogant, like "my birthday is my favourite day because it's when I was born and I am amazing" sort of thing, which is totally hilarious. But yeah, the scandalicious outfits, the skankalicious lyrics, the totally extravagant attitude, the massive drama and the failed marriage - definitely one of the most interesting Serbian singers by far. Haha. I think she's got some talent though, but it's overshadowed by the antics.

I'm so happy people are replying, it's good to be OPENMINDED

REALLY omg? nah ugh, I odn't know where to buy her albums online from, I live in america and I speak NO SERBIAN, so it's really hard. I bought her *Magija* album from, this one site and um the PACKAGING was HORRIBLE, and the thing the cd came in was SO DIRRRRTY hahah but OH WELL I'm glad I got my FIRST SERBIAN CD EVER!!!!



I KNO this is the last place to see her topic, but I thought it be best to have other unique artists! I was wondering what does folk mean? does it mean really old schooled? SHE IS SO HILARIOUS HAHAH even though I don't know Serbian I still think she is FUNNY! esspecially when she dances, she dances liek SHE IS THE mini cooper and no one is better than her. She dances and sing and has an AURA of SUCH CONFIDENCE it makes me drawn to her naturally. SHE SAID THAT ABOUT HER BIRTHDAY haahah that is too funny, so she has a funny/arrogant personality, I like that, it fits her LOOK! I always wanted to know what her lyrics ment, they are skankalicious how KEWL! I know how to say skanky things in SERBIAN HAHAH! Yeah I herd she had a lot of SCANDALS, like stuff she said on interviews when she was drunk and her 4 month long marriage? hahaha! Yeah her VOICE IS TRULLY AMAZING no doubt about it, I didn't think she could have such a great voice because it sounded too amazing, then I herd her LIVE AND WOW!!!

Oh and she LOVES HER FANS, that makes me happy

ohhoohoh

what does Slatka Mala mean?

I think it means "Ship Girl." lol Sucks the CD came in poor packaging. Which site did you get it from? I've only seen a few Serbian sites that sell music. I liked the album Magija. Her last few albums were her best, imo.

And folk is a type of music. The more mainstream Serbian music is categorized under Turbo-Folk. It's like pop, mixed with some "traditional" music.

Ship Girl....oh that's kinda kewl? I definitly like the Serbian way better ha

oh I got the cd from *yu4you.com* and yeah it was REALLY BAD packaging, but it did get shipped from a FAR AWAY PLACE lol so I guess it's okay. Do you live in Serbia or somewhere over there, or do you live in America? did you buy her albums? cuz I was wondering where you got your copies from?

Yeah MAGIJA is SUCH A GREAT ALBUM WOW! eventhough she was heavly influenced by some GREEK SONGS I still think her VERSION is WAY BETTER!

I don't have any of her other albums nor have I listened to any songs from the album accept the ones she performed, but I do like *SAMO ZA TVOJE OCI* wowow very good song, I want all ehr albums!

So turbo-folk is more pop and mix of traditional music, well her songs now kinda sound like that, yeah?

yu4you was the website I was going to mention. I haven't ordered anything from them yet, but I think it's the largest Serbian music website that I've heard of so far. I don't live in Serbia, but I wish I did. I live in America. I'm not even Serbian. lol I just love the music. I get albums or I download it if I can find it.

It's very common for Serbian singers to copy off of Greek music. They do it a lot. Same with Bulgaria. Jelena's song "Samo za Tvoje Oci" is actually a remake of a Greek song also. It's the remake of the song "Gia" by Despina Vandi. Despina's songs are copied all the time. She's one of the most popular Greek singers today.

imho, Jelena's past few albums were great, but her first few albums weren't that great. Two of her paast albums sounded pretty much exactly the same. They had the same beats, except with different lyrics, which was really weird.

OH WOW your not serbian and yet you listen to there music! it's really nice to hear that there is someone WHO IS VERY OPENMINDED to all CULTURES of music, and isn't just stuck on one certain language. Oh you know what, I went back to *Yu4you* and there were 2 *Magija* cds that they were selling, and i bought the cheaper one, maybe it was the used one? I don't know, but II think I'm still gunan buy from them cuz I want the *SAMO* cd and I want *SEKA A.'s* cd too!

REALLY WOW I think it's kewl because I never herd greek songs till I herd the original of one of Jelena's song, I forgot the name, but wow in GREEK so KEWL! I'm gunna look up the greek song to *Samo Za Tvoje Oci*...Although I like the greek versions, I think Jelena's VOICE makes any song amazing!

I didn't hear her first albums lol, I saw performances of it on *youtube* and I didn't like it, it soudned really weird, but WOW her last 2 albums are GREAT WOAH SEXY PERFECT, I'm loving it and esspecially the cover and back of the *MAGIJA* album! I'm excited for her NEW ALBUM!

OHOOHOHOHOOHO does she speak english? I saw pictures of her on her birthday with her bodygaurds and they were ALL black lol, do they speak SERBIAN, or does Jelena speak english?

Oh yes, I love international music! Something about other languages makes me like the songs even more. I went on yu4you and I noticed that they had 2 versions of some cds, but I never knew why. One is like 5.95 and the other is like 10.95. I thought maybe the cheaper one is a tape cassette, but I guess not since you got a CD. I think you're right, it may have been used. Look on the bottom of the CD and check if it has any scratches. I usually do that to check if the CD is used or not. Seka's CD's are great too! All three of them are pretty good, in my opinion.

I don't know is Jelena speaks English, but she's recorded one song in English. Her English sounded pretty good to me. Her pronunciation was good too! I don't know if her bodyguards speak Serbian. If they were in Serbia, then probably. If not, either she doesn't talk to them at all, or she knows a few English words like "help!" I don't think I've seen the pic you're talking about. Was it from this birthday?


The guy in the striped shirt is her hubby, or maybe her fiancé for now. BTW, check out her "boozums."

WOAH HAHHA I like her dress lol, it shows off her flawless body! That's her new lover for now? haha kewl, so this is a very recent birthday?

well heres the pic, but I cna't save it because yo uhave to pay for the pictures so I just put up the link, look at the pic, those bodyguards don't look like people who speak serbian LOL oh aand this wasn't her birthday haha this was..I don't know what for lol

Jelena peacee pose
Jelena stnads out

Yeah I lvoe other languages, eventhough I have no clue what they are saying because I gues it's more exciting, EXOTIC, like english is SO BORING hahaha, unless an internaitonal person is singing in english with their perfect accents. Yeah I think it was used, well no the cd wasn't scratched lol, but there was all this sdtuff all over the cd, and the cd cover had tape and dirt all over it hahha...yeah I bought it cuz it was way cheaper and I was wondering why it was so cheap...haha I guess I know now. Do you have this cd too? Yeah I really liek SEKA hahaah bvut her body isn't as good as JELENA lol.

SHE RECORDED in english? NAH UGH WOW THAT'S SO KEWL!!! her voice is TO DIE FOR, if she debutes in America, she'd be such a great hit and big comp. for Christina, Mariah, Whitney and all those powerful vocals.

I'm pretty sure that's a pretty recent birthday pic. It's from a few months ago. After seeing those pics you posted, it looks like those guys behind her are just security guards for the restaurant or w/e place that is and she just took a few pics with her. I think that's why it says "security" on their shirts. Usually bodyguards wear normal clothes...well, from what I've seen it's been that way.

I don't have this CD, but I want to get it! I've been extremely cheap and lazy for awhile, so I haven't bought many CDs, but I'm starting to buy CDs again, so this is on my list! If you buy any other CDs from yu4you, can you please tell me if they're in better condition than the other one you bought? I've been meaning to buy something from that website, but I didn't know on the condition of their CDs.

I think Jelena works out more than Seka, lol. Seka's got a more "curvier" body...[I just think she likes to eat more.] I love Jelena's songs, but I don't know if she could do well in America. America has a lot of tough competition and criticism, but we'll just have to see what happens! I think she was going to be in the Eurovision contest, but didn't make it. Too bad she's not even one of the possible contestants for the next Eurovision! She'd do a lot better than the other singers representative for Serbia.

I'll send you the English song by her, if I can find it...if I'm allowed to...

yeah it looks like a really recent pic haha she has the monroe hairstyle lol. Yeah your right, it's probably security from the club lol, I didn't think of that. Well a serbian club? then they must speak serbian right? haha Jelena looks so happy in the middle of them, maybe she hasn't seen black people in a long time hahah.

Yeha i haven't bought a cd in like 2 months, pretty depressing. I'm gunna buy her *Samo za Tvoje Oci* some time...soon lol, and yeah I'll def. tell you haha.

yeah it seems Jelena works out really hard. Is Jelena natuarlly skinny? because it seems like she is, like before she was SUPER SKINNY then she gained her chest and butt haah but she sitll seemed skinny and she still does, or is that jus tpart of her diet? Yeah I think America will tear her apart because of her SURGERY, that really sucks. What's Eurovision? and how could she not QUALIFY?!? her voice is BEAUTIFUL, or did Serbia not think her look represented Serbia?

OH YEAH YEAH I wanna hear it, would you be able to do it through PM?...I d k?

I think she is naturally skinny. I don't know how old these pics are, but I think they're from the 90's.


I saw some her old vids on youtube and she's was really anorexic. She didn't look good at all! I don't know what she did over the years [other than the surgeries], but she looks great now! I like women to be a little more ~curvy~.

Eurovision is kind of like an Americon Idol type of show, but instead of normal people competing, actual singers compete. I think it's mainly European countries, but other countries do it also. Check this website for more info about it. Serbia's only been competiting for only a few years. I'm not sure, but I think Serbia has this competition between singers to see who gets to participate in Eurovision.

I uploaded the song. I'll send it to you in a sec.

YEAH I KNO she looked kind of scary back in the day because she was SO SKINNY then BAM she grew some CURVES hahaha did she get butt impants? I think she did. Wow she must have been working out her legs to get them so thick hahah so yeah I think she is naturally skinny. I think women look attractive skinny but she was TOO SKINNY haha I like her now with the CURVES and being BUILT but not manly built, like swimsuite model built lol. She still looks skinny now but just BETTER hahaa.

OH WOW that kinda sounds kewl, having celeb singers compete against eachother! Did Jelena try to represent Serbia this year? THEY have really exciting little competitions and things in Europe.

Have you herd of the DUEL where other celebs perform other celeb songs

Stoja kao Jelena Karleusa - Slatka Mala

FOR THE LONGEST I THOUGHT THAT WAS JELENA!! hahah and i was concerned because her voice didn't sound like the cd track and she didn't really walk around she just stood in one place hahah and she seemed bigger, but I seriously thought it was her! It's so funny how they do DUELS LIKE THIS because they really play the other celeb of pretty good. America should learn from this and do stuff like this, pretty EXCITING!

OH I WAS WONDRING, is this Jelena?

That looks like her, but it's probably just been photoshopped weird, which made it not look like her. Or maybe someone photoshopped her head on someone elses body? And I think Jelena competed to be in Eurovision a few years ago, but didn't make it. She isn't one of the candidates for this years Eurovision, but hopefully she'll go to the one after that!

LOL I love those duels! At first I thought that was her too! Stoja really freaks me out. Jelena also did Stoja's song in the duel. I don't know if Jelena's version of Stoja's song was better or if Stoja's was. I think America should have shows like this! Unfortunately, there are barely any music shows anymore. Not even MTV has much music anymore. Soon TRL is going to be gone and it will have no music at all! At least we can watch these kind of shows from other countries!

I KNO! america doesn't have anything like that, we only have stuff liek American Idol, but...boo it's not all that exciting. Yeah I saw the Jelena remake haha and I don't know either lol....wow but HAAHHA that's so kewl what they do there. Oh just liek Lebonese academy? is that what it's called. Where regular people compete but the person who's song they sing actually performs with them. Like when Myriam sang *Ana wel Shawq* (spelling?) with the two contestants.

WE NEED TO BRING those kind of SINGING competitions to AMERICA!

Oh yes! I think it's called Star Academy. I don't where the show originated, but they have it in France too! Star Academy is kind of like American Idol, except all the contestants live in a house together. Then actual singers come and visit the contestants in the house and in the "primes" where the contestants actually perform, the singer guest performs a few songs with some of the contestants. I love that show! Too bad America doesn't have something like that, although there aren't too many American singers that I like, so I probably wouldn't watch it anyways.

HAAHAHAHAHAHAHHAH I wouldn't EITHER!! but it would make american singing competitions a lot more interesting!

yeah I saw that cuz Nadiya (a french singer) was on the Star Academy and I was like "wth? do lebanese understand french?" lol but then I realized that it's different hahaha

I think Nadiya was on the Lebanese one, actually! She's probably been on the French one also though. Since Nadiya is Arab [although she sings in French], she was invited to be on that Star Academy. I didn't see the part where they talked to her, but she might have only talked in French. This other singer, I think it was Tina Arena, also came on the Arab Star Academy. I don't know why she was invited though. She's Australian, but she's sung a few songs in French before. During the interview though, she only talked in English. I think it's common for Arabs to learn French also, especially in Morocco and Lebanon. Supposedly Haifa knows French, but idk because I heard her sing it once and it didn't sound that great. lol

yeah she was, do those lebanese contestants know French? or did they just mesmorize the song? Nadiya is ARAB I knew IT!!!! she doesn't look like any other french person I know, you know Nadiya's history is very interesting, FEMALE BOXER hahah she does have that look/body lol Really arabs learning french? why isn't it COMMON for AMERICANS to know any other language PSH!!!! it would have been so kewl if my parents taught me some CRAZY EXOTIC language when I was younger.

You know, eventhough Jelena may look like a tragqueen in some of her pics lol, I still love ALL HER PICTURES! they are so creative, almost as creative as U;Nee's.

lol It's funny that you said she looks like a dragqueen, because when I showed her videos to my family and friends, they all thought she was a tranny. I guess it could be possible, but I think it's all the plastic surgery that ha made her look like that. I like her pics a lot too! I like how she dresses up in different clothes.

Nadiya was a boxer before? lol I never knew that! Ha, by looking at her body, I can't even tell she's the athletic type. I don't know if those singers that performed with her spoke French...they probably memorized the song. I know that Arabic has a lot of French words in it though.

Not many American schools didn't push learning languages for young kids before...but now, after after all these years, elementary schools are going to teach kids languages. I think Mandarin and Latin are two of the languages they're going to teach. Idk what's going to happen with that though. I read that kids learn languages the best because it sticks to their brains better.

YEAH I AGREE I think it's because of the surgery too. I mean once you get so much surgery there is nothing that prevents you from looking like a transexual lol. I mean guys do all that stuff to look like women and they do but you can tell they got some serious surgery and is the same for Jelena. I know she is ALL WOMAN but haha her lips are really unnaturally big haha but in some pics she looks VERY WOMANLY TOO ME!

Yeah she was hhaha I could tell because of how she performed, she always through her hands up she was boxing, I geuss it's her own unique dance style hahaha and her legs are formed good. In her *16/9* album she is posing as a boxer in it too haha.

REALLY?!? I think that's a very good choice cuz more than ever now, international people are getting more and more in america and it is becoming even more increasingly important to know at least 2 languages in order to get jobs. Yeah i herd kids learn faster/easier too, I guess it's easy for yougn people to get stuck with it because their brains are growing and blah blah blah hahah

Although, once you get too much surgery, you end up not even looking like a human at all. Kind of like my friend cat lady right here:

jk, she's not my friend. I should make a topic for her...

OMG HAAHA that's scary

is she a serbian singer?

she really needs to tighten her face, it'll make her look less scary haha

I saw some people that got surgeries to look like cats and they look REALLY UNIQUE haha

lol No, she's not a singer. She's just some rich entrepreneur. The story behind her is that her husband loved cats, so later when he was going to get a divorce from her, she wanted to stay with him, so she got all these surgeries to look like a cat. Because of that, he didn't get a divorce from her. A few years later though he got a divorce. This pic is from a few years ago though. Since then, she's tightened her face a lot more and she looks A LOT scarier. Something about her is beautiful though...lol

omg she did that just for her husband.....um, poor thing!

Poor jelena ~

if he's your fav. singer, then why did you abandon his very own, official thread?

i think what made her look a bit manly in some picture is her nose.. her nose is very strong .. she shoulda shaved it down a bit justl ike ashley simpson did.

well, I thought you forgot about it ~ since you were so busy with the other ones
