It is released this Tuesday at a bargain basement price, it has had zero promotion here or in the US, it is a greatest hits with one new song.
Massive, really?
Still buying it, I love Belinda, but seriously, it won't be massive. It will barely be small.
...nor is she a 'legend'. a phrase too commonly banded about inappropriately. do these people actually know what a legend is? the dictionary deffinition isnt very complimentary!
leg·end (ljnd)
n.
1.
a. An unverified story handed down from earlier times, especially one popularly believed to be historical.
b. A body or collection of such stories.
c. A romanticized or popularized myth of modern times
doesnt really apply to ms carlisle does it!
Hahaha:)
Awh well to me she is a legend!
then read up on her, then theres nothing mystical or magical about her!
think you mean 'a favourite'...lol
Will look forward to hearing her new song.!
But her new album, icon, is a best of:rolleyes:
No I mean legend:cool:
Grew up listening to her, she's one of the singers a lot of friends and people of my childhood generation ( late 80s and 90s) get all nostalgic about. She had a lot of brilliant hits until the late 90s - to me that woman is a favourite and legend!:D:D
Belinda is amazing and I love her, but anyone who thinks that her album will be massive is a bit naive.
whats the point in having a dictionary or even a language then?. just because illiterate people use the language incorrectly doesnt give it validity.
until the definition changes to include evolution the charge sticks, by definition she aint a legend!
my fav was 'youre nothing without me'...
Oh my word.....are you seriously continuing with this legend definition thing?
Because, as you are very much aware of, that is how language evolves and develops.
Words change over time.
Also, I guess you use the free dictionary or google...

Others disagree with you.
Others move on and evolve with the language. Majority out there have this definition of legend as well. And the Oxford dictionary is well respected. I would say it is a legend amongst dictionaries.
Wow, nice. I was actually defending your post but yeah fine.
Im meaning in general haha not just you. The one that started it.
This forum never fails to find new ways to amaze. And not in a good way.
Because she isn't your taste? Please.
The GoGo's really did pave the way for girl groups having fun in that way. Whether the genre appeals to you is one thing but she has earned some respect from her fans.
Legend is pretty much empty as one mans trash is another mans treasure etc. I hate some music by people considered 'legends' but its not my place to question their opinion.
no because she's no legend. Nothing to do with taste. A couple of solo hits does not make a legendary career.
'Mildly successful Belinda Carlisle returns' would have been a more apt thread title
Granted she is not a legend but 19 solo Top 40 hits is also worth a little bit more than 'mildly successful'.
Personal favourite and Belinda's own too according to this recent interview is the sublime pop perfection of 'Summer Rain'.

I never understand people who don't seem to get that this isn't maths but pop music where people are expressing their feelings about things and get caught up and argue the fact the minute someone calls someone a 'legend' or 'icon' or whatever.
Though if you are taking the term by it's definition I'd say some of the stories surrounding Belinda and the Go Gos have gone down in legend.
I heard she might be working with Rick Nowels again. Is this true? No other popette in the eighties was as consistent as Belinda was with the three albums he produced.
