@ Lady Sarantuya

Well, I'm from Russia and I have to say that I never heard of you. In fact, Dana's albums are in every local music shop here.
I admire Dana's music since I was a little girl and for some years I am the admin of her englih forum. Her music is great.
I don't like when people write racist and homophobic comments.
What makes you think you are better than Dana?
Oh,maybe you're just jealous because she is more famous than you?

Dana's great! I've seen her many times in concerts (New York, Tel Aviv, Miami,...) and she is real entertainer! Just love her!

Dana International is a human being. And because of that she doesn't deserve to be called a "thing". She is no criminal, just a singer/songwriter. And while everyone is entitled to not like her work, calling her names is a token of disrespect. We don't know her personally.

@Sarantuya
I find it difficult to understand why you felt the need to express such hateful and controversial views on here. You say you are a singer and recording artist but you must know that by voicing such opinions that you will never be able to work or record outside your country. No major record label would consider working with someone who is so obviously intolerant of others and opinionated enough to make judgement on people without having met them. If your views are common in Mongolia then I pity anyone there who does not conform to your outdated beliefs.

@ Madrid Calling:

Let me tell you Europe is not so 'developed' in certain aspects. It was always the main centre of xenophobia/racism. Remember the Nazis, the Inquisition, the slavery in Africa, the American conquest and many others I don't even dare to mention...

If Lady Sarantuya does not like Dana, that's her opinion. Is it mandatory to love her? I don't think so.

I don't like Dana either. She's too flamboyant and eccentric to my standards. And frankly, 'Diva' is a trashy song. Having so many good songs in 1998, I don't know why such a non-sense won.

Some useful information for any transphobic person on this site:

http://en.wikipedia.(...)org/wiki/Transphobia

I am totally against transphobia, homophobia or racism. And I guess a lady from a country like Mongolia should be very careful with this issues, since I think Mongols may suffer from racism in Europe or anywhere developed else.

Fabio:

I like young flesh, that's why I like talking with you guys.
Don't get me wrong, it's not my intention to become enemies with you.

I'm sorry for my bad behaviour :(

@ Madrid Calling:

There are people who are even worse than me, and their accounts don't get deleted.
I've been insulted many times, and do those people get punished? NO.
And now for once, I write something back, and I deserve to get punished?? I'm sorry, but THAT is inappropriate.

Fabio:

No need to be so rude.
I hope you realize that everyone is entitled to have his/her/its own opinion. :)
And no, Mongolia isn't cold & undeveloped, we're having nice temperatures now. And we're not poor :)
We even know how to pick up trash, unlike you Italians.

You made me angry. You don't like me when I'm angry.
I guess you're one of those schlager fags who admire Dana International for its gayness. Well here's a newsflash for you, grow up and get a life.

Oh, and unfortunately for YOU, the earthquake in China didn't kill my family. That's too bad eh?? :)
