Default Kemal not wanted by Turkey for Eurovision
Quote:
No transgender singer allowed!
Exclusive:TRT stops negotiations with Kemal

Pop Bitch today reported that Kemal Shahin has been in negotiations to represent Turkey at the 2007 Eurovision Song Contest. esctoday.com contacted Kemal, a former Big Brother contestant in the United Kingdom, and former editor on esctoday.com. Kemal confirmed that TRT had ended negotiations and explained the disappointment about the reasons given for being discounted from the running.

Kemal told esctoday.com that:
"It made a massive difference when they found out that I was trans-gender. Until then, discussions were proceding very well. I had presented songs that I had previously recorded as requested. I was also asked to submit a written document containing four or five different styles that I could use, although they had not decided if the singer and songwriter would be decided together or not. They then came back to inform us that they were looking at me as a singer, but that they would select the song for us.

At no point had I hidden anything about myself, I assumed that as an artist, being transgener would not be an issue. Once I submitted an in-depth document about myself, they began looking at press and news about me. Then, I heard nothing, communications just stopped.....

i think its absolutely ridiculous, cruel even to reject him at the last minute on the grounds of his sexuality
that was one of his dreams, they dont know how tough it is for him as it is
the last bit of the article says that he was told that 'turkey is not bulit on such principles'. nothing against the turkish people, but that was a horrid thing to say
they need to change their attitudes fast
Kemal was deeply upset by what happened, and they dont know what theyve missed out on
sorry to rant, but speaking as one of his biggest fans, i feel strongly on the subject
i mean, what has he done to deserve this?
its not on

I'd have thought him not having any music industry experience would have been the main problem for them.

No one every saw his face and no one knows anything about him. But the rumour says that, if you do see his face, you can never go back, the curse is on you.

No seriously, James is TIBB's number 2.

This is the first thread (from 2002) I started, I think - http://www.thisisbigbrother.com/foru...read.php?t=554

You can find your first thread with Search / Advanced Search. Enter your username under 'Search by Username'.

Select 'Find threads started by User'. Under 'Sort Results by' select 'Thread Start Date', then 'in Ascending Order'.

Ignore the 1970 results, if you see any. They were caused by the transfer to the new forum.

And some people have seen my pic, just most of them don't post here now, hah.

I wonder if he's still giving strangers blow jobs in skips?

Classic BB trainwreck and a desperate wannabe. Love him!
