Europe welcomes Trump in his own words

Europe welcomes Trump in his own words

After the spoof Netherlands second made by a Dutch late night show broke the Internet, some other European countries wanted to partake in the fun and ask Donald Trump if their countries could be second in hilarious videos presenting their countries.

The pattern of the video was the same: a voiceover of a Trump impersonator that introduces why their country should be second, after America - and then there's Belgium which doesn't mind being the tenth. They use the same controversial lines of the American president and turn them into a joke.

Germany's clip stands out for the references to a particular dictator and the world wars. The video says that bud light is German beer pee. The video shows many footages of Adolf Hitler as it depicts him as a great guy. Germany hosted two world wars in the last 100 years. They were the best world wars in the whole world, the video states and they claim they won both of them warning the audience that if anything says the contrary is fake news.

In reference to the Trump's decision to build a wall, the video states We built a great German wall. Just built it! And we made the Russians pay for it! alluding to the Berlin Wall; they just took the facts and gave them a twist. It became even twisted when the video claimed that Germans were literally dying for the wall. The video ends by saying and by the way, when you push the button to destroy Germany with nuclear weapons, this is what Germany looks like, and the footage shows Italy on the map instead.

Belgium agrees with Trump in that Brussels is a hell hole, but then they go on to say that rest of the country is great, except for the French-speaking part because they are like the Mexicans of Belgium and we also hate the German-speaking part because they are like the Germans of Belgium. They also say that ABBA is from Belgium - even though they are from Sweden, but those are alternative facts, in a reference to Trump's use of that line when he doesn't want to admit the truth. They also said they invented sex in the 19th century.

Denmark also made a hilarious video. They start by destroying the Dutch. They say that Netherlands or Holland is a disaster then asked their people if they are Hollandrians, Dutchlings or Netherlandish. They tell them to make up their minds.

You have the Statue of Liberty, we have the Little Mermaid statue, the video continues and then refers to the writer of the story, Hans Christian Andersen who made up stories that filled every hope and joy, just like you made up stories that filled everyone with... and then they leave it open while the footage shows terror. He couldn't do it in 140 characters like you, though... What a loser. Total loser. Sad!

Switzerland also made a hilarious spoof in which they claimed they invented Brexit because they hate the EU, like Trump does. They also claim that Switzerland is safe because there are no Mexicans anywhere. They also said they built a city just for Russians.

Other countries like Portugal and Lithuania also created their spoofs and they've all gone viral.

Susan Boyle breaks her silence

Susan Boyle breaks her silence

About two years ago, it seemed as though Susan Boyle disappeared into thin air. But the Scottish singer has finally cleared the air. For the past 18 months, Boyle has been out of the limelight focusing on her personal life after a health care caused doctors to tell her to lose weight'.

Boyle was diagnosed Type 2 diabetes which prompted her to turn her attention to her health. Boyle also struggles with Asperger's syndrome. Boyle has followed a rock path in the past two years after she lost her sister Bridie McCaw in October 2015.

I needed to stop eating sweeties and cakes, Boyle told The Mirror. It's the bane of my life.

The singer may have lost more than two stones (13 kilograms), but that doesn't automatically mean she'll be performing any time soon. Fans are eagerly awaiting a live performance since the last time did in 2015.

Due to Boyle's diabetes and Asperger's syndrome, she said she may never sing live again. The 55-year-old singer confessed her Asperger's syndrome is so severe, she is not able for the time being to set tour dates and there is a good change she might not be able to bring herself to sing live again.

I haven't performed live because I've been ill, she said. The short answer is that it has been connected to my Asperger's syndrome.

Her condition means that her behavior could get out of control at any time. Boyle could become stressed and that could lead to a meltdown like the one she had at London Heathrow airport. These meltdowns or unpredictable behavior in general could make live shows a risky bet.

Her new album, A Wonderful World, is due to be released on November 25.

Susan Boyle came to international attention wen she appeared as a contestant on the TV program Britain's Got Talent on 11 April 2009. The judges and the audience showed themselves skeptical when she appeared on stage, but when she started singing I Dreamed a Dream from Les Misérables, everyone fell prey to the spell of her voice. Boyle hadn't even finished when standing ovation erupted.

Boyle's debut album, I Dreamed a Dream (2009) became the UK's best-selling debut album of all time and the best-selling album of 2009 in the US. With the release of I Dreamed of Dream and its lead-off singles I dreamed a dream and Wild horses, Boyle made £5 million.

Susan Boyle's story is inspiring and her struggle with Asperger's Syndrome is touching. In her words: I was told I had brain damage. I always knew it was an unfair label. Now I have a clearer understanding of what's wrong and I feel relieved and a bit more relaxed about myself.

I was slightly brain damaged at birth, and I want people like me to see that they shouldn't let a disability get in the way. I want to raise awareness. I want to turn my disability into ability.

She is also an inspiration for overcoming her struggles. There are enough people in the world who are going to write you off. You don't need to do that to yourself.

James Corden tribute to George Michael

James Corden tribute to George Michael

2016 was a sad year for music. We didn't only lose David Bowie and Prince, but we also lost music icon George Michael at Christmas. The demise of the music icon affected music lovers, his family and those who knew him. Then there is The Late Show host James Corden, who saluted the artist.

After talking about his holidays, the British host talked about the passing of George Michael, whom he admired very much. I went back to London over Christmas and had the best time, Corden said. I went back to London over Christmas and had the best time. But there was some really sad news over Christmas that hit me really hard... the passing away of George Michael.

As Corden continued, he got more and more emotional: I feel like I've loved George Michael as long as I've kind of loved music, in a way, and I know so many of this fans feel the same.

He added: Like sometimes, I can remember so many specific times in my life where I might have felt on my own, and George's music would feel like he just... it would feel like you would listen to a song and he would reach his hand out and tell you that you weren't on your own and that these feelings were not particular to you.

Then Corden talked about having the opportunity to work with George Michael for a sketch for the UK charity show Comedy Relief.

We called his management, and we called the label. I'll never ever forget it, but they said, ‘George would like to talk to you about this himself. But he's in Australia, so he's going to ring you, but when he calls you, it'll be 3 a.m. in London.'

It was the weirdest feeling going to bed thinking, ‘When I wake up, it's going to be because George Michael is on the phone and I'm going to talk to him about this sketch.' We chatted for an hour, and we talked about music.

The idea Corden had in mind was a sketch of himself singing karaoike in a car with a famous singer. Now that idea has become a worldwide sensation. We've seen celebrities from all walks of life on Corden's passenger seats singing to tunes. Some of the people that have been on the ‘Carpool Karoke' section of his show are Sir Elton John, J.Lo, Adele, One Direction, Selena Gomez, Gwen Stefani, Britney Spears, Mariah Carey, Justin Timberlake, Julia Roberts, George Clooney, Justin Bieber and even the First Lady Michelle Obama.

Corden said that the ‘Carpool‘ karaoke wouldn't have happened if it wasn't for George. He said: When we started the show here, we were trying to get people to do Carpool Karaoke, and not many artists wanted to do it. We would send them this clip of me and George, and we sent it to Mariah Carey, and she was the first person to say yes. Her words were, ‘If it's good enough for George, then it's good enough for me. I'll do it.'

So, we all have so much to thank him for, for the music that he's given that will last forever. But we personally, here at this show, we owe him so much.

David Bowie

David Bowie

The whole world mourned singer songwriter and actor David Bowie, he passed away back in January 10, 2016. But the artist had a surprise in store for his fans: his final recordings are going to be released for his fans. The EP titled No Plan was released on January 8 on what would have been Bowie's 70th birthday.

Back in 2015, as David Bowie was recording music for his 25th album, Blackstar, the artist also recorded a handful of songs for his musical Lazarus. That year he found out that his liver cancer was terminal. Despite his deteriorated health, as late as a week before his death, he continued to record his final album. Unfortunately, two days after his 60th birthday on January 10, Bowie passed away. The Lazarus tracks, including the title track and three others, became his final recordings.

These recordings have been compiled into the No Plan EP. The album was released on what would have been Bowie's 70th birthday. The EP includes the tracks Lazarus, No Plan, Killing a Little Time and When I Met You.

The themes of time, future, and death are present on the tracks which proves that Bowie's disease affected his songwriting and he was considering his own mortality.

As an artist that lived through creativity, it seems natural that Bowie would contemplate his death in the same way, which is through music. Although the themes are sad, they are also inspired. These songs resemble any masterpiece delving into the artist's inner self.

The album was released together with a new music video for No Plan, showing TVs in a window on a rainy street. Crowds of mourners gather to watch the screens as it shows the lyrics and old images of Bowie. The moment reminiscence in the day when the world stopped at the news of Bowie's death on January 11. The television sets are placed in a store called Newtown Electrical which is said to be a reference to Jerome Newton, which is the character played by Bowie in the film The Man Who Fell to Earth.

Before the release of the EP and the video, Bowie's wife of 23 years, Iman, shared a moving hand-drawn image of the singer as a young boy to Instagram. The image shows a boy with Bowie's trademark red and blue lighting bolt drawn across his face.

In a new BBC2 documentary the director of the singer's Lazarus music video, Johan Renck says Bowie wasn't aware that his cancer was terminal until three months before his death.
