I had the privilege of seeing the Tina Turner tribute act: What’s Love Got To Do With It and it was so great! Holly Bannis performed as Tina Turner and she was excellent and really, in my opinion, embodied Tina Turner as well as one possibly could without actually being the woman herself. Her band and her back up dancers/singers were also superb.
I was a little bit saddened by the fact it wasn’t performed for an Aussie crowd, only because it would’ve been amazing to see everyone dance to Nutbush City Limits (a certified classic in Aus that has become a tradition to line dance to). But that aside, I couldn’t fault the show at all and had a grand time.
If you’re in the UK, I definitely recommend checking it out. Find more information on their website.
I can’t say it’s been my favourite world cup, but it’s definitely been a funny one. And the main reason for that is: Erling Haaland. This one Norwegian player has been responsible for, and actively enabled, so many funny memes. From people editing the image of him chasing down his opponent (seen left), to the re-imagining of that one White Chicks scene featuring him and Vini Jr., to the Majin Buu comparisons, and all the blond-haired people posting themselves trying to mimic his walk. It’s been very amusing. More so because Haaland himself has been enabling and supporting these memes of himself. Gotta love a guy who can appreciate jokes about himself.
