Classify Bulgarian singer Ivana.

[Sikeliot]

Where could she fit and how would you classify her?

She looks like she's had plastic surgery... she's looking to me somewhat Lebanese/Syrian, but of course she passes for Bulgarian.

It's her style probably and the makeup/eyebrows.

She used plastic surgery and you posted a picture of another singer - Anelia

She has very aggressive make up and she did have some plastic surgeries, her look is standard for most of "Turbo-Folk" singers in the Balkans, most of such singers end up looking similar to each other at some point in career...:D

Mediterranean type with some East. Med tendencies.

In Bulgaria they call it Chalga or Pop-folk...

you can find example of such music and see singers from every Balkan country on the youtube channel linked above...

My neighbor plays music from that channel almost every day and It already drives me crazzzzy :laugh: :crazy::shakefist

This is Macedonian hit this year, and as you can see the singer looks similar to the Bulgarian...aggressive make up and there is sort of industrial standard for their looks...
Song is terrible but men will find the video to be AWESOME :wink

Don't you just hate this trend? :eek::mad: Why do all balkan singers (greek included) have to look like cheap trashy "bartenders"? :mad:

Anyways, she looks like she once was east med/pontid/gorid (east alpinid). I am sure she would be much more beautiful in her natural looks.

As they start to age and after many plastic surgeries they all start to look like siblings. They all try to look like glamorous porn stars because sex sells...

but there are exceptions that break away from the stereotype when it comes to Balkan folk sound :D

Example is Senny from Bosnia, she really does not care about the looks at all, she is an epitome of feminist minimalism in Balkan pop-folk music :D :laugh:

People pay her to sing at Bars and Restaurants just to laugh at her...:eek:




One might say that for all is responsible Disko Ninja (who epitomizes oriental cultural influences) who killed Rock'n'Roll (that brought progress in music from 1960ties until late 1980ties.) You will understand what I'm trying to say if you watch this clip from Yugoslav comedy "The Fall of Rock and Roll" that was made in 1989 and that really foretold arrival of the turbo-folk music..

Still she has heavy make-up and the picture is probably retouched.

[Hess]

It's no use classifying people who had plastic surgery.

[safinator]

Pontid + Alpinid

[Midori]

Too plastic to classify. Probably a Pontid

[Trun]

I have a photo of her at the age of 18 one morning in the bathroom but she gave me 10 000 Euro not to show it so sorry guys. No natural pics.
