Subject: RE: BS: 'It'... who has it? From: Jack the Sailor Date: 27 Jul 11 - 08:53 AM "It" is often subjective. Many of those people leave me cold. No one appeals to everyone. |

Subject: BS: 'It'... From: MGM·Lion Date: 27 Jul 11 - 08:17 AM I wrote on the Winehouse Review thread ~~ "And a point not made sufficiently here IMO is that she had, in ♠♠, that indispensable attribute ~~ call it charisma, call it magic, call it the x-factor or just call it "It" ~~ which is what distinguishes the stand-out artiste [or personality] from the run-of-the-mill one. It's separate from, or additional to, talent. Agassi had it; Botham had it; Best had it; Redford had it; Monroe had it; Olivier had it ~~ and Amy Winehouse had it. I'm sure you all know what I mean." And then there were/are Diana Princess of Wales, JFK, the Queen Mother, Peter Bellamy, Martin Carthy, Maddy Prior, George Brummell, Oscar Wilde, Richard Branson, Humphrey Bogart, Gary Cooper, Diana Dors, Shirley Bassey, Samuel Johnson, Eartha Kitt, Harry Belafonte, Mohammed Ali, Jose Mourinho, Sean Connery, Johnny Depp, Madonna, Bill Clinton, Roger Daltry, David Garrick... ...{&, just from this POV, how about Napoleon, Hitler, Mao, Capone?} And...??? ~Michael~ |
