Title: Pro Lionel Richie or Anti Lionel Richie?
Post by: Olly on December 11, 2012, 04:31:09 PM
With the flag issue seeing a balanced argument, where do people lie on Lionel Richie?

On one hand he wrote that song about the blind girl who didn't know who was in the room but on the other hand he's a bit sinister.

Ha hA hA. I'll not be the one to 'Wanna Kiss The Bride' because I was 'Made In England'. I just hope that "I'm Still Standing' and not a 'Candle In The Wind'.

Apologies. Just saw I'm Still Standing on MTV there and that's Elton. To be fair to me, very similar voices and style.

He studied economics and is absurdly popular in Iraq; from Wikipedia:

In recent years, Richie has become a phenomenon in various Arab states,[20][21] and has performed in Morocco, Dubai, Qatar and Libya.[22] ABC News said, "Grown Iraqi men get misty-eyed by the mere mention of his name. 'I love Lionel Richie,' they say". They can sing an entire Lionel Richie song. According to Richie, he was told that Iraqi civilians were playing "All Night Long" the night U.S. tanks invaded Baghdad. Richie was against the war, but says he could see a day when he would come and perform in Baghdad. "I would love to be here for that."[22]

I'm definitely pro.

Was dragged along to the Odyssey in Belfast by the wife to see Lionel last night. I was chuffed when he dedicated a song in honour of Naomi Long MP, how appropriate he should do this in a venue in her constituency of East Belfast I thought, until the wife told me the actual title of the song is "All Night Long" ::)

Of course you didnt.

Didnt say I needed it, it helped, no doubt about it, got them in the mood a wee bit.

I saw you in Armagh on the Cathedral road years ago, you were pointed out to me by a mutual friend and I have to say you must have needed all the help you can get stud. ;)

Did you never try peach Concorde? That would have got them in the mood quicker than it took the tape deck to rewind to "Easy".
