I got you, buddy. She's basically saying
Tudo pode ser, se quiser será
O sonho sempre vem pra quem sonhar
Tudo pode ser, só basta acreditar
Tudo que tiver que ser, será
Tudo que eu fizer
Eu vou tentar melhor do que já fiz
Esteja o meu destino onde estiver
Eu vou buscar a sorte e ser feliz
Tudo que eu quiser
O cara lá de cima vai me dar
Me dar toda coragem que puder
Que não me falte forças pra lutar
Vamos com você
Nós somos invencíveis, pode crer
Todos somos um
E juntos não existe mal nenhum
Vamos com você
Nós somos invencíveis, pode crer
O sonho está no ar
O amor me faz cantar
Lua de cristal
Que me faz sonhar
Faz de mim estrela
Que eu já sei brilhar
Lua de cristal
Nova de paixão
Faz da minha vida
Cheia de emoção
Lua de cristal
Que me faz sonhar
Faz de mim estrela
Que eu já sei brilhar
Lua de cristal
Nova de paixão
Faz da minha vida
Cheia de emoção
Tudo que eu fizer
Eu vou tentar melhor do que já fiz
Esteja o meu destino onde estiver

Gonna have to ask my BR friends what they think of her. They skew younger and I wonder what her reputation is now.

Portuguese does sound like russian.

Finally someone who gets it. Thank you. Whenever someone tries to speak our language I just tell them to imitate Russian instead of whatever it is they're doing.

Edit: OP it's not Zhoo Sha it's Shoo Sha.

For a long time there was this dumb as poo poo rumor about her being a satanist.

Speaking of her being a satanist let's not forget this absolutely bizarre and relatively recent ad for Stranger Things:

I will not shut up about the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers. I talk about them all the time and work them into every conversation I have. I built a shrine in my room for the yellow one who died because sadly no one noticed because she died around 9/11. Wanna see it?

awesome, i am going to find a pair of these somehow. for some reason i'm guessing their qualities beyond being radical were pretty poo poo so survivors are unlikely but who knows.

if there is any question of how xuxa got phenomenally wealthy this is a pretty good indicator.

I will edit, pretty sure that is from my exposure to Chinese language, i tried pronouncing it tshuu-tsha and couldn't figure it out.

XUXA is some pretty strong loving branding though, it lasted in my visual memory for 30 years. I remembered the spelling. The muffled UHF analog signal of anyone saying her name did too so I'd never really heard it proper til recently. I'm kind of amazed there are so many recordings out there. There are a lot of US kids things that are pretty much lost to sands of time etc

Xuxa youtube is an absolute rabbit hole - tons of US guests with no portuguese, maybe some spanish, its all very trainwrecky but in the best way. This mostly refers to the "Xuxa Beats" show, the kids show is just a gem.

Ferreal, who wouldn't be entertained by "Short Dick Man" by Gillette being performed in front of a cringing presenter and an oblivious audience. Speaking of Gillette (and 20 fingers) the released this song around the same time and it was a roller skating jam:

Oh man, I don't even want to hazard a guess at what glitter-filled jelly sandals from 199x would look like today. :barf:

Posted in the OP, hopefully I don't get dinged for it. Either way it seems like they are the type of charities that actually help so :shrug: why not.

If you're fine with a modern day brand with similar flair, there's a Brazilian brand named Melissa that makes all kinds of jelly shoes, some of which are pretty wild.

Xuxa shoes:


One style of Melissas that match the aesthetic.
