Enya

I'm officially in awe.The only other people who deserve to be in my awe are Elaine Paige(At the very top,as usual!),Sarah Brightman(Only for her voice,duh!),Andrew Lloyd Webber(For creating glorious musicals like CATS and Evita),Andrea Bocelli*It's supposed to sound something like this: On-dray Bo-che-lli*(Because he's blind and is still so darn successful,not to mention rather good looking.),and not forgetting,of course,Laura Michelle Kelly(People who went to watch A Twist Of Fate will know why.Her voice is sooooo good!And she's only 24.That's really young to get a Laurence Olivier,you know.)The last person,of course,is ENYA.

Hailing from the distant Ireland,Enya is known for her calming voice and soothing music.Her voice can reach heights that one can only dream of.But not as high as Sarah Brightman...But still high enough.She may be only a shade taller than Elaine Paige(EP's 5 feet.Enya's 5 feet and 2 inches.You do the math),but she is so goddamn slim!!!Not to mention she has nice eyes...They're between olive green and bottle green.Go check your color chart later.Her voice can only be described as...etheral...Sorry..but there are no other simpler words to say it..She has sung a couple of songs for the LOTR movie series,i think.And one of those was nominated for and award.Don't know if they got it.She's one year younger than Sarah Brightman(SB's 45,so minus one..) but she doesn't look her age.People like Enya remain young forever.Actually,she leaves the impression of agelessness on me.Her voice can be either strong or as i said...etheral.

There.Go learn this new word,cos i'm going to be using it in one of my later posts.She's not very pretty,but i can safely say that she is prettier than Sarah Brightman when SB has makeup,in particular,eye-liner,on...Goodness!SB practically looks like a zombie-crossed-vampire!!When i first saw her picture,i thought she was,like,1.7m tall.But she's not.I'm taller than her...Yay!Those who like LOTR can go to her website and check out the May It Be video...I won't say you're in for a treat,but it's quite good.It's like they took clips from the movie and blended it in with a music video.(Anyway,i doubt anyone is going to go there.If you actually go there,please tag and tell me how you felt about it)Her new album,as is the title track,is called Amarantine.It's a gorgeous song.Melachonic,yet uplifting,enchanting,bewitching,calming,sad,powerful,etheral,beautiful,loving,caring,
marvelous,magical at the same time..How she does it,i know not.You can't really hear what she's singing,but if you are,like,really really really depressed over your results or really really really really angry or happy or sad,you should go and by her album.I'd suggest A Day Without Rain,'cos i have that one,and i know it's good.

For example,if you're really really sad,you listen to it,you may or may not get sadder/happier.Depends on which song.If you're really really really really angry,you listen to a song of hers,and you hear her calming voice,and then you think about why you're angry,how you shouldn't be,and what you can do to stop the anger from coming back and how to fix the problem,if there is one.Her voice serves as that of a Guardian Angels,guiding you back toward the reality,no matter how harsh,but before doing that,she eases your soul and takes away all frustration.It's like you are enlightened.At least,that was the case with me..You feel somewhat stronger inside after listening to her songs.The emotion in her voice in the sad songs nearly made me cry.Just the emotion alone,mind you!Not even the lyrics!She opens up your soul,so parents,if you actually are reading this,or my friends,get your parents to read this.*Message to parents*If you want your child to open up,you can try getting him or her to listen to some slow,enchanting songs of Enya's.Try it.I think it might work...that is,if you can actually get your child to sit still and listen to her...

It's like she weaves this hypnotic spell upon you,and you have no choice but to obey.Reminds me of the mythical Sirens.Y'know,those half human,half bird females that have absolutely enchanting voices and lure sailors in to eat them?Not that Enya's evil though.And she certainly isn't a cannibal.You feel as though you're floating when you hear her sing..when you leave the room after leaving her,you immediately remember all the stress that she momentarily took away from you..Her music is theraputic.One of her songs,Only Time,was used in the 911 videos.They played it in the background while showing the world the carnage.Our golden-hearted Enya agreed to record another version,with all the earnings going to the victims and their families.She's rich enough,anyway.She lives in a CASTLE!!!Read...CASTLE!!!!Not even Andrew Lloyd Webber lives in one,although i think he is much richer than our dear Enya.Oh.And she's rather talented in languages.She has sung in English,Latin,Irish,and,believe it or not...QUENYA.The language of the Elves of Middle Earth.In other words,JRR Tolkein's made believe language.

I'd love to go on,but all this typing has really taken it's toll on me.If you want me to do some research on any particular star,singer or famous person,drop me a ring or tag my board or e-mail me at chuadilys@yahoo,com.sg Make sure you read my posts ok?I know they may be boring,but bear with me.
BTW.I'm going to get my stiches removed tomorrow.*Freaks out*I'm going to die.
Night!
