between American and Canadian girls there are differences. The site already has.
As a rule, Canadians are above average height and are not inclined to be overweight. This is easily explained with scientific point vision - harsh climatic conditions. Local canadian girls have fairly broad shoulders and narrow hips. These features create the effect of false subtlety. Another feature Canadians, is the structure of the skull, due to which the Canadians are distinguished by a clear profile, outlined cheekbones and a slightly protruding chin. Their noses are neat, small, narrow, and well-defined lips. Perhaps the most bright accent the appearance of Canadians are - their eyes. They are bright, very expressive, the relatively small size is offset by blue, dark blue or gray.
Typical Canadian girls and women, unlike American women, they like to take care of their appearance and give it great attention. Some Canadians like to decorate their body with colored tattoos.
Mostly canadian girls calm, sociable and quite friendly. They love to compliment each other. Canadian women prefer to work from home via the Internet because it is convenient for them to combine work and household chores. They value the family and are ready to do everything to maintain relationships with their husbands. Divorces in this country are quite rare. But in our time, girls are in no hurry to bind themselves with heartfelt oaths and have children. They usually want to get a good education and build a successful career.

However, Shania did not immediately succeed in going his own way. Shania wrote songs herself and wanted to sing exactly her own songs, but the producers imposed material from other authors on her, as a result, on her first album there was only one of her songs (God Ain't Gonna Getcha For That), and even then with an arrangement alien to her. The resulting album, simply titled "Shania Twain", was released on April 20, 1993 and was a complete flop in the market. Even on the US Specialized Country Music Albums Chart, it only peaked at number 67.
However, thanks to the first album, no matter how disastrous it was, Shania notices famous producer who worked with Def Leppard, AC/DC and Brian Adoms, Robert John "Mutt" Lang. Their acquaintance took place by telephone. For a long time they write songs and communicate only by phone. However, after a personal meeting at the Fan Fair festival, between them flashes strong feeling, and on December 28, 1993, they become husband and wife. The producer husband allows Shania to go his own way in music and she immediately achieves success, releasing her second album "The Woman In Me" in 1995. In 1996, Shania received a Grammy for this disc in the nomination " Best Album country style." In 1997, the album became the most successful female country album in the history of music - it sold 12 million copies.
Shania's third album "Come On Over" (1997) was even more successful than the second album. For "Come On Over" Shania received 4 Grammys, the album became the best-selling female album in history - more than 40 million copies of this disc have been sold worldwide, 20 million of them in the USA.
As an introduction to the work of Shania Twain - two songs from the album "Come On Over":
Shania Twain - Don "t Be Stupid. Performance in Chicago in 2003.
Shania Twain
In 2002, Shania's 4th album, "Up!", was released, which sold 20 million copies worldwide. Twain became the first woman in the history of music, whose three albums, one after the other, reached diamond status (i.e., sold more than 10 million copies).
In the summer of 2010, Shania and her producer husband Robert John "Mutt" Lang divorced. According to rumors, the reason for the divorce was the infidelity of her husband.
January 1, 2011 Shania Twain married Swiss businessman Frederic Thibaut. Unlike his first husband, who became famous for his reclusiveness, Frederic is an active comrade who shares Shania's love of adventure and travel.
Shania Twain's height is 162 cm, body measurements are 90-60-89.

And life is such that sometimes, on occasion, I tell my wife, Mrs. Xenia, about which of the singing celebrities shown on TV is famous Canadian(or famous Canadian). About famous Canadian actors I already mentioned. But I haven’t had a chance to talk about musical Canada yet, and I thought that I should write a post about famous Canadian singers, singers and musicians.
I'll start with perhaps the most famous Canadian singer of my generation - Celine Dion. A generation grew up to the Titanic soundtrack and sang in the kitchens with a good snack one of the most famous songs of his time "... neeeir faaaar vereva yu aaaaar ai beliv zat mai hart howl gooo ooooooooooooo…” 😀
Yes, Celine Dion is a French-speaking Canadian from Quebec.
Celine Dion - Canadian singer
Canadian rockers: Nickelback and Bryan Adams
And, if we are talking about generations, then we must mention two Canadian rockers, which are known to everyone, “to whom for ...” 😉
This is the front vocals of a Canadian rock band. Nickelback – Chad Kroger and good old Bryan Adams. Here are a couple of pics I found on the internet.
Here I am at the concert Nickelback in Halifax? On Canada Day, July 1, exactly 4 years ago. 😀
I will mention the site Rielter.ua - all real estate in Ukraine on one site. Here I mention the purchase of an apartment in Donetsk, for example. Free ad placement base, quick and easy search.
Famous Canadian musician - Neil Young
Well, before we move on to completely youth music - perhaps those who are “very over ...” remember Neil Young- this is also a very famous Canadian musician.
Famous Canadian guitarist - Neil Young
And even if the name is unfamiliar to you, then the song Neil Young“Golden heart” everyone once heard somewhere.
Canadian singers: Alanis Morisette and Shania Twain.
Turning to pop music, we will briefly mention Canadian singers that were very famous in their time and will be this Alanis Morisette and Shania Twain.
I somehow never really was a fan of Alanis Morisette, but Shania Twain with her clips of the 90s came at the time of my generation growing up and, may my wife Xenia not be angry, Shania Twain left a mark in the history of the generation.
Shania Twain is a Canadian country and pop singer.
By the way, Canadian country and pop singer Shania Twain- one of the most successful performers in the history of our planet. She has a lot of diamond albums, top charts and billboards. Biography of the singer - famously twisted female romance and a reason for film adaptation in the form of a box office melodrama. Her biography, a recent bestseller, is on the bookshelf of my wife, Pani Xenia.
Canadian pop singer Nelly Furtado
Many people remember the Canadian from Vancouver - Nelly Furtado? A very successful singer in her time, and today from time to time appears on music channels.
By the way, she got her name Nelli in honor of the Soviet gymnast Nelli Kim.
Rising Canadian stars: Avril Lavigne and Justin Bieber
Well, we must definitely mention the young Canadian talents - pop music for teenagers. Who has already guessed - it's about Avril LaVine and new teen pop icon - Justin Bieber.
