Cut off sleeves (Popstars Australia Episode 9)

Sat, 25 Sep 2021 16:00:40 GMT

While it may not be all glamour being a popstar, we get a glimpse behind the scenes on Bardot's 'Poison' film clip where no expenses are spared, but schedules are tight. If you only watch one episode of Popstars Australia Season 1, this is it. But before you do, listen to what Alexander and Alex have to say with the benefit of 20 years of hindsight.

NOTE: While we may appear to make light of the subject, we do not condone any involvement of Ulf Ekberg (known for being a member of Ace of Base) in and white supremacist organisations.

A link to some more information about Ulf Ekberg's involvement in a neo-Nazi organisation: https://www.vice.com/en/article/rm35nr/ace-of-bases-secret-nazi-past

And a link to Ekberg discussing it in a documentary. https://youtu.be/HMBwFC1roEw?t=351

We acknowledge the Holocaust as one of the most significant genocides in recent history, where over ten million people, including six million Jews, were massacred by the Nazi regime. Holocaust education is essential to prevent this catastrophic episode of history from repeating itself.
