Marina Lambrini Diamandis (Greek: Μαρίνα-Λαμπρινή Διαμάντη, pronounced /diːəˈmændi/ dee-a-man-dis, born October 10, 1985 in Abergavenny, Wales, United Kingdom), better known by her stage name Marina And The Diamonds, is a Greek-Welsh singer. Despite the name, she is a solo act, the “Diamonds” being a reference to her fans. Her eponymous name consists of Diamandis’ first name and the translation of her surname, which means “Diamonds” in Greek.
Diamandis released her first single (a double A-side single Obsessions/Mowgli’s Road) through Neon Gold Records on Valentine’s Day, 2009, closely followed by The Crown Jewels EP in June 2009. Now signed to 679 Recordings, Her first single with the label wasMowgli’s Road, released in November 2009. In January 2010 she reached #2 on the BBC Sound of 2010 poll list. This was followed by the release of her debut full-length studio album, The Family Jewels, in February 22 2010, and her debut American release, The American Jewels EP on May 25 2010.
The Family Jewels peaked at #5 in the UK Albums Chart and was certified Silver in the United Kingdom days before its release.Hollywood was released as the lead single from the album on February 1 2010, followed by a re-release of I Am Not a Robot on April 26 2010. Diamandis said she decided to re-release the song because “people seem to empathize and relate with the song, regardless of gender or age.”
Oh No! was the next single to be released from The Family Jewels on August 2 2010, and Shampain follows on October 11 2010, to coincide with her biggest UK and Ireland tour to date.

yes. racism. it is TOTALLY racism. I'm pretty sure that's a troll comment, 'cause I can't see how anyone could possibly think anyone could take ANY offence to that. It's a fucking observation, a joke, and nothing racist about it. idiots.

Wtf? Is this some kind of racism now? Leave any nation alone, they are allowed to put in any avatar they want. And, by the way, they are the majority. You cannot mess with the majority.

*sigh* Look, I thought the statement "I don't know why gay brazilian's need shirtless men in their avatars, about me, or whatever, srsly." was annoying because I had to scroll through 17 copy/pastes of it to see any information on Marina & the Diamonds (you know, since there is a new single coming out and all). So I said "I don't know why people add apostrophes in places they're not suppose to." You see, I started my shout with the same first words. Hahaha, my bad attempt at a joke. Apparently you took offense, so I replied. Sorry if I crossed the line between "serious" and you guys having a good time pointing things out in witty fashion. ...Now you're going to reply and say something and go on and on and I won't reply or delete my shouts so it looks like you're mad at someone who isn't there. Either way, Whitney Houston has passed on and I'm pretty bummed about it. Goodbye and enjoy your existence!

psycstudent: By the way, if you want to be so proper, you should not use contractions. Hence it should be "I am", and "you are". You want us to type like we are writing an English paper, then lead by example sir.

"I'm pointing out that 17 users apparently don't know how to properly pluralize and find that acceptable" This is the internet, not a fucking English class.

@psycstudent, you take life too seriously. not criticising, merely making an observation. you have no right to come here and act better than any one. so take your pretentious arsey self off this shoutbox. INB4 you try and correct my grammar and believe it counts as a comeback to an argument.
