[@shanisecartagena5386]

I swear to God every time I said this name to people they never knew who she was or like I imagined it but I’m glad I found it. I am born in 1990. I did not know the show was in 1988.

[@JV-sd7in]

You're not alone lol

[@JoseTwitterFan]

This profile would later get re-purposed by MTM Enterprises (before UK-based TVS sold it to Pat Robertson) 4 years later as part of a pitch for Xuxa's U.S. TV show.

[@4lifeReagan]

Loved this show would watch it everyday before school!!!!

[@peztang.9459]

I remember seeing this on Telemundo in the 80's. I always thought the outfits were iffy for 12 yr olds to watch, but she is very attractive for people 20 or older..

[@dangeroreilly2028]

She was 24 then, I was 30. I hoped my young son would take a liking to her show so we could watch it together. He didn't though, oh well.

Happy 59th to María da Graça Meneghel. I knew her around 1991 when she came to L.A. in May 1991.

[@cleverdouradomarinho904]

Really? Wasn't it 1993?

[@paulnguyen8910]

@@cleverdouradomarinho904 No, señor. 1991 fue su concierto en Los Ángeles. Lunes fue su 60mo cumpleaños.

I have loved her since 1996, then i got deployed to europe. They loved her there in germany. I think she is ethnic german. I don't know. Her shows are happy dancing with catchy songs. It is most remarkable. She dares to be a one woman show. Long live xuxa.

[@molonlave2193]

She is ethnic German, a lot of Germans have immigrated to Brazil. Gisele Bundchen is another famous Brazilian of German descent.

[@jonnyares1]

She made me feel tingly. I wasn’t sure at the time why. I was 7.

[@lokey416]

Totally forgot about her. Lol. When I was a kid, I had a little crush on her. Lol

[@darkstar1977a]

0:12 - God , She looks and sounds so very young.

I was born too late! :::(

[@CartoonsAndGameShows]

Xuxa eventually did get a show on American television. I used to watch reruns of it on the Family Channel(Now ABC family). I really think its a shame that it didn't catch on, in America at least.

[@SupremeMaster-he4rc]

CartoonsAndGameShows I watched that show and noticed how she would kiss the kids after putting on lipstick at the end of some episodes. I thought that this action may have been taken the wrong way by American audiences.

[@whoaitsreesy]

I also think that she aired way too early for American kids. I remember watching her because I couldn’t fall asleep. Her show came on at like 6 am. Way too early for kids to catch on. She also had difficulty speaking English, which would also make it difficult for kids to understand her. I think sometimes she was frustrated with the language barrier and that the kids couldn’t understand her, Xuxa appeared in a way that she seemed rude with the kids. Finally, I think some of the parents thought she dressed a little too racy. Keep in mind this was the early 90s, America was still largely conservative back then. Seeing a woman dressing in short shorts, kissing kids on the cheek might have been too much.

[@DeadRaymanWalking]

I remember that show. That's how I learned of her.

[@Antoniocastagnoli]

@@SupremeMaster-he4rcI am Brazilian originally. I live in the US. She was a huge success in portuguese and Spanish, but she says her English was a barrier in the USA.

[@airtondossantosesantos7712]

I am grateful for being Brazilian and never depending on American music and American TV, we have our music, our TV, our identities.. 🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷

[@frostyjim2633]

I used to watch when I was high af

[@americanidol434]

Ooo she does speak English

[@tinocadet5979]

It’s time for Duda and her friends 🎉🎉🎉

[@kdkatz-ef2us]

Not sure which audience this is aimed at

[@Soundeagle3456]

started out for adolescents then to kids, but she was soo pretty and dressed soo scantily, many adult men were attracted and they quickly formed over 40% of her audience. this forever tainted her image in the states, but it didn't stop her from becoming a sensation worldwide in latin america, europe, australia and even Japan.

[@br12rj]

Xuxa, the real foot of the 80's ... A childhood pertussis Brazilian ...

[@jdlamb4212]

Ya know, even though it wasn't really appropriate for kids they were a lot safer there than with Michael Jackson or Jimmy Saville or Garry Glitter

[@Soundeagle3456]

you know even if she did have sexy time with some kids, they would never come out about it to their families, because they probably enjoyed it.

[@Centelha_Armonica]

Como eu vim bater aqui :(
