ExPrinceska, you summarized it very neatly, that as very amusing. However, blame it on the Amnesty International: the numbers are not final. Where you see a "+" (plus) sign next to the number it means that this is the highest verified number, and it is estimated to be higher, but…

Not to make light of this accident, but every single day there are people dying in car accidents. This one was singled out and reported here. However, there are no details that would suggest as to why it was reported. So, unless there are more details, especially as rtrhead1 mentioned…

Leona has this one hit "Bleeding Love." I guess the popularity of this one song makes her qualified to become a goodwill ambassador.

larguero, each country cheers their own. If the first 11 don't get that much cheerleading, maybe it's the problem in their countries. Besides, are you trying to say that number 12 in the world is a failure? Maybe 12 in the world, but number one in Japan, besides, she is…
