"Perhaps I'll sue Severina for damages!"

Possible compensation charges for Severina

Miloš Milivojević of Arx International, the company organising this year's Croatian Eurovision representative Severina's failed tour to the USA and Canada, may possibly sue the singer for damages.

We have lost 50.000 dollars for the printing of tickets, marketing, insurance and the renting of concert halls. Although it has failed, the tour is by no means over for our company. The owner of the concert hall in Vancouver has called me and demanded 15.000 dollars compensation”, says Milivojević

Severina's manager, Tomislav Petrović, denies that they will be paying. American Croats boycotted Severina's concerts because the organiser was a Serb, claiming that God forgives, but the diaspora doesn't. It has also emerged that a concert organised by a Croat had been planned, however Severina didn't get a visa in time.

Severina finished 13th with Moja štikla in Athens, therefore Croatia will take part in the semi-final next May in Helsinki.

Isn't the fact that she filmed herself proof she is pervy?

The lovely Severina was the ... star in a "stolen" XXX video clip
Then, her concert failed, so now lawyers want their BIG tip

It's official (again!) ... Money and POLITICS make the world go round;
Serbs OR Croats did NOT go to hear that nice 'Moja Stikla' musical sound.

Whatever ... ;)

you said that: "Blue Alibi, I agree! We have sooo many better and beautiful singers (who are not play and make incidents).." :)

Charisma can't help so much if song is not good, that's for sure. Moja stikla was too much ethnic song and ethnic songs were 4 years ago. That was just too late. Look at the Albania. Im sure that Severina was with some other song like "Tvoja prva djevojka" or even "Moj sokole" (which is also a little ethnic), she will be much better and that charisma could help alot. She has great personality and she can make from anything a big show! That's my opinion...

Did I say it? I don't remember.....but the sad fact is that her "charisma" you mentioned, obviously didn't help her much in Athens, because she finished in the low and "unhappy" 13 th place, so that means we have to go to the semifinal next year again......for the 3 rd time.... :(...

i agree! everyone can have their opinion, of course, but you can't tell she's not pretty, that she sings bad and that she has something that others don't have! :) živio!

But Severina is not a "holy cow" ( as anyone isn't)! So she can be criticised as any other person!

Pardon, Hrky!
I don't hate anyone,who says about it? :( I only want to say that Severina's era must end once (btw, every singer has its time and the time when his/hers career is end)... but I stayed in my opinion about the other singers, more quality then she is, and their time will come too! And I didn't blame Severina for anything

you can say what you want against Severina, Vatroslav, but she is only singer in Croatia who have something else then singing well - carisma. You don't where is now Nina Badrić, Doris Dragović, Gibonni etc, but you know EVERY step of Severina.

She knows how to make a show. Remember that also before a film, she was very famous, like today. Now's the only problem is hate. Not only in diaspora then in Croatia many people dislike Severina because of movie. Unfortunately, they don't understand that she 's not guilty that someone has stolen it.

And can't say she hadn't bad steps like writing Moja štikla. Many people SAY they dislike Moja štikla but on the street, elevator, in house, bus, everywhere, you can hear someone singing Moja štikla!

You can say what you want, but our Severina is the most popular singer in EX-YU.
