I think we need to highlight her cinamatic career a little more. I distinctly remember her in some awful movies in the 1980's involving car chases. rasblue 22:09, 21 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Jelena???

I'm interested in knowing where you got the information from that she changed her name to Jelena and converted to Orthodox Christianity?

Those were just rumors.

I find it quite unusual that she never sang in the Ijekavian dialect like most Bosnians did because she came from there and their language is either Ijekavian dialect or Ikavian dialect depending wherever you originated —Preceding unsigned comment added by 216.95.114.241 (talk) 04:17, 2 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Hidden away

Why is this article hidden away with redlinks at Fahreta Živojinović and Fahreta Zivojinovic, even though that is the name which appears bolded in the intro and at the top of the infobox? Gene Nygaard (talk) 15:39, 14 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] On controversies

Song Zivela Jugoslavia ("Live Yugoslavia!") that Lepa Brena recorded together with Miroslav Ilic was hardly "controversial" in the early eighties. Keep in mind that Tito, who was a Croatian communist who ruled Yugoslavia since the end of the WW2 until his death in 1980 just passed away when the song was recorded and the entire Yugoslavia was overwhelmed with, for majority of the people, mixture of national pride, sorrow for the loss of the "benevolent" communist dictator Tito, and an unease for their future.

Yugoslavia only became "controversial" in the early 90-ies, with wholehearted support of Germany and Austria, i.e. those European countries who had an axe to grind against former Yugoslavia because of their role in both World Wars. Yugoslavia was the only country in the Balkans, together with Greece, that was allied with the US and UK against Germany and Austria. So, I am not quite sure where the author of the article draws his conclusions, since the breakup of Yugoslavia started ten years after the song was recorded. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.52.132.116 (talk) 08:16, 11 April 2008 (UTC)
