GUEST,martin ellison Is Eliza Carthy really that good? (161* d) RE: Is Eliza Carthy really that good? 31 Jul 07


The only thing that Eliza got from her parents is her talent - how could she not? She has always been completely her own person (from age 2 onwards). Yes, she carries the name; yes, she plays with her, already established and revered, parents. But she is an unstoppable, indefatigable powerhouse of energy and innovation who appeals to many (maybe alienates a few) and bellows the cause of English music from the rooftops.
From what arrogant stance does someone come along and ask if she's any "good" and suggest that she's only popular because of her parentage ("primarily cos of her mum and dad")?
Of course she's bloody "good" - whatever the hell that means - she may not be to everyone's taste but that's another matter entirely.
Kampervan, your assertion is not "heresy" - it's just plain ignorant and offensive.
