Subject: BS: Congrats, Eddi! From: Boab Date: 09 Jul 06 - 03:08 AM Eddi Reader has been named "M.B.E" . No---it won't make millions for her, but it couldnae happen tae a nicer or more talented Lassie! |

Subject: RE: BS: Congrats, Eddi! From: John MacKenzie Date: 09 Jul 06 - 04:13 AM Unfair Eric, she could have had that 10 years ago with Fairground Attraction. Do you really think she would be singing and recording the songs of Robert Burns if she wanted to be a pop star?? Come on mate get real! Giok Oh and well done Eddi you deserve the recognition. Perfect! |
Subject: RE: BS: Congrats, Eddi! From: Dave Hanson Date: 09 Jul 06 - 05:47 AM Unlike Barbara Dickson who was successful at folk music and successfully moved onto pop. Big Edna was unsuccessful at pop, so tried again with folk music, what next ? Remember Mike Whellans ? he kept switching ' codes ' but real success always evaded him. eric |
Subject: RE: BS: Congrats, Eddi! From: Dave Hanson Date: 09 Jul 06 - 05:53 AM By the way Giok, The Songs of Robert Burns ? ever hear of Jean Redpath ? a different league methinks. eric |
Subject: RE: BS: Congrats, Eddi! From: John MacKenzie Date: 09 Jul 06 - 06:03 AM Nobody said she was in that class Eric, but I think she's done OK. At least she hasn't duetted with any pop stars yet! G. |
Subject: RE: BS: Congrats, Eddi! From: Dave the Gnome Date: 09 Jul 06 - 06:34 AM I like Eddi and her singing. As to 'wanabee pop star', well, I imagine that most people would like that kind of fame and fortune. Why would Eddi be any different? I always reckon if you can't say something nice about someone, particularly on a congrats thread, it is better to keep out of it. Cheers DtG |
Subject: RE: BS: Congrats, Eddi! From: Strollin' Johnny Date: 09 Jul 06 - 08:42 AM Having done it already, Eddi will probably never again be a pop star - she's got the wrong image, and she can actually sing. She's one of those truly talented people who can turn their hand to anything. She's one of Scotland's finest daughters, and a great ambassador (ambassadress?) for her country and it's traditions. Congratulations Eddi, and keep up the good work. S:0) |
