Dua Lipa: The 60 Minutes Interview

At 15, Dua Lipa convinced her parents to let her pack her bags and move to another country so she could try to make it big. It paid off for the Grammy-winning pop star.
"60 Minutes" is the most successful television broadcast in history. Offering hard-hitting investigative reports, interviews, feature segments and profiles of people in the news, the broadcast began in 1968 and is still a hit, over 50 seasons later, regularly making Nielsen's Top 10.

[@Ozymandi_as]

I think she resisted the notion that in order to make good music, female pop singers have to introspect and fret over their insecurities and anxieties. That's not necessarily a bad thing to do, but it's not necessarily good either, and it has led to a lot of so-so sophomore albums from apparently talented performers ... Whereas Dua's second album was pop perfection throughout every track, and the best record she could possibly make. And she deserves to be congratulated for that.

If her statement of "Burning children alive can never be justified" is controversial to you, please think over your life choices.

[@NoamPeled]

You're distorting the issue about that controversy. The problem was about portraying Israel as the perpetrator and accusing it of "genocide", when the facts are quite the opposite. It was Hamas who burned children alive and deliberately so, while Israel in its response to the atrocities carried out by Hamas , has always been trying to minimise civilian casualties (and comparatively succeeds in doing so, as it demonstrates the smallest ratio in history between civilian and combatant casualties, despite the fact that Hamas constantly uses kids as human shields) - and it is Hamas who's to blame for this whole episode in this endless bloodshed. If you care about the children of Gaza, It's never too late to tell Hamas to release the hostages.

[@SuperRobertoClemente]

And people can think over their choices all they want, but it is the Israeli government and IDF that have the real power to stop killing people-- and the governments that help fund their military, like the US, that also bear responsibility.

[@NoamPeled]

@@SuperRobertoClemente So you're basically expecting Israel to stop fighting Hamas and just wait for the hostages to escape on their own?

[@SuperRobertoClemente]

@@NoamPeled Also, the IDF is not fighting Hamas. It is destroying Gaza and its people, systematically, along with all its infrastructure for keeping those people alive, educated and fed. Now it wants to do the same to Southern Lebanon-- to provoke Hezbollah into another Oct. 7 so that a new zone can be leveled. The same plan is ongoing in the West Bank. Go ahead and deny this-- seriously.

[@SuperRobertoClemente]

@@NoamPeled During the Vietnam War, the US military declared that they had destroyed one village in order to save it. A similar absurdity is at play here. Israel will "save" the hostages by getting them killed, to reveal Hamas' cruelty and justify the destruction of Gaza. Nonsense propaganda for the already brainwashed.

7:55 "but when her second album called 'Future Nostalgia' was ready to be released two years later, the timing could not have been worse"... DISAGREE. That album was a godsend in lockdown and I believe is a major reason why this album is so beloved among fans

GREAT interview Anderson, I'm a huge fan of Dua Lipa and wasn't aware of her back story. I first heard her music from her second album and have been a fan ever since. Her story is actually somewhat similar to that of The Weeknd, Abel Tesfaye. But he totally dropped out of school and ran away from home to pursue a career in music. And he worked to get money to live and pay to have the songs he had written recorded. He then sent out demos of 3-4 songs to the radio stations in Toronto, where he lived asking tthem to consider paying his songs. And somehow Drake, who's also from Toronto, heard one of his demos and made the effort to find him. Drake was so impressed with Abel's work that he invited him to sing a couple of songs at his concerts. It wasn't long before record producers became aware of Abel's talent and offered him a contract and as they say, the rest is history.

Read the above comments. Her success was no accident. Wasn't like she was living out of a cardboard box. She had lots of professional help.

Her music became my workout music during COVID in Korea. I was happy to have those songs. Thank you Dua!
