Music Industry Madness! Aleksandar Temelkov Drops Bombshell on Macedonian vs Serbian Singers!
Did you know Macedonian singers are basically fighting to survive because their own media and organizations don’t back them up? Yep, you read that right! Aleksandar Temelkov, a former contestant of Zvezde Granda, just blew the lid off the brutal unfairness between Macedonian and Serbian artists.
Macedonian Singers on the Brink
Temelkov revealed in an interview that Macedonian artists get paid peanuts compared to their Serbian counterparts. According to him, the price for a song in Macedonia starts at just 1 to 1.5 euros. Add marketing, promotion, and video shooting costs, and the total can reach up to 3 euros. Can you believe that? Huge expenses, tiny paychecks!
Serbian Stars Cashing In More in Macedonia?!
To make things worse, Serbian singers performing in Macedonia often get better pay than local artists. Temelkov calls this unfair and says Macedonian singers deserve at least similar pay and treatment as Serbian stars. He didn’t name names but made it clear there’s tension and that they feel like they’re unwanted in the scene.
Bribery Claims, Denials, and Drama
Remember when Temelkov shocked everyone by claiming his mentor Viki Miljković asked for a bribe? She quickly denied it, and he apologized saying it wasn’t true. But now, his new statements about the unfair treatment of Macedonian artists have stirred the pot again.
What’s Really Going On Behind the Scenes?
This whole mess shines a light on the dark side of the regional music industry. Is it possible that Macedonian talent and hard work go unnoticed and underpaid while Serbian artists enjoy privileges? Is this just the tip of the iceberg of corruption, favoritism, and inequality?
Final Thoughts
Aleksandar Temelkov might just be the voice brave enough to speak up, but his story reveals a serious problem affecting not just the music industry but cultural politics in the region. If Macedonian artists don’t get support and fair conditions, how can they survive and grow their talent?
So, what do you think about this estrade drama? Is it time for a change or just another sad story of injustice? Drop a comment, crack a joke, or just share your thoughts — let’s see if we can untangle this musical mess together!
