Ah another Madam Butterfly, yes, yes certainly more classy than the balloon lady!You can't beat those Irish lasses I posted last though, nothing can beat that flute player Corr woman, oh Lord...I feel like a geeky teenager.
...you are probably talking about the next president of the USA.
Brian, I actually doubt she stands a snowballs chance in hell. While there are more than a few who support her... those not exactly at the top of the food chain... she is a lightning rod... hated by as many more... and dismissed by anyone with half a brain as little more than a joke.
In many ways the very fact that a candidate as blatantly unqualified as Palin or George W. could even be considered for such an office owes much to America's anti-elitism. Where logic would dictate that the best candidate for the job of President would surely be someone that is well-educated and smarter than the average person, we saw in the last few elections candidates being derided as "elitists" and out of touch with "Joe the plumber" for the very reason that they had graduated at the top of their classes from well-respected colleges and universities. Without a doubt, Clinton was so hated/feared by his political adversaries for the simple reason that he was far smarter than they... and an astute politician.

Neely, I'm afraid I'd have to go with Brian's Asian cutie. Your Irish lass just doesn't conjure up many fantasies for me... and certainly none of them the least bit wicked (let alone involving waking up naked in a hotel room in Paris). Now your Anna Caterina Antonacci is something else altogether... to say nothing of my beloved Anna.
Balloon Lady on the other hand... now she conjures up nightmares more along the line of waking up naked in the back room of a biker bar somewhere in Alabama, discovering your credit cards are all gone, and you have several new prominent tattoos... all involving misspelling.

I so Ellvis...
You kidding? Yes I don't like the pop stuff they do for sure, but man she honestly stopped my heart a few times, and I felt again like a love-sick spotty teen. She is perfect. I am in love (don't tell Mrs Neely). I think I might have to go down to my local Irish bar tomorrow in search of her (though there will probably only be a few grizzly old men there) - seriously this is the greatest video of all time!!! She is the most beautiful thing on earth!!! The crush has landed...Neely, I'm afraid I'd have to go with Brian's Asian cutie.

Neely, I have to agree with StLukes that the Irish girl, although undoubtedly nice looking, is somewhat lacking in sex appeal.
On the other hand, this video shows how it should be done; the German director deserves an Oscar for his brilliant cross-cutting technique.

Must be an Irish thing. I can't even figure out how they have filled a stadium. Free beer?Seriously, the music seems as far removed from real Celtic folk music as Shania Twain is from real American bluegrass or Brian's latest posting is from real music of any sort.

What's that ugly bald bloke got that I haven't? Life is simply not fair. I'm honestly upset.
Dis-a-greeee. That women is sex itself!! That neat little wiggle, that smile, that long dark hair, that provocative tin whistle playing, oh, oh.Neely, I have to agree with StLukes that the Irish girl, although undoubtedly nice looking, is somewhat lacking in sex appeal.
I can see the appeal (and just about see passed the awful Euro-Asian pop to get to the end) I can, but I'll stick to my Irish lasses (or notOn the other hand, this video shows how it should be done; the German director deserves an Oscar for his brilliant cross-cutting technique.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tcma31JBwLs). It's not just the Irish. I like that long, dark haired look generally, French/Italian types, continental lasses y'know, but the Irish are the best.

I have to admit that music was the last thing on my mind
Now make yourself comfortable on this couch Mr Neely and tell me when you first started getting these delusions that tin whistles were sexy.

When I saw this lady gently caressing it with her Irish lips:Now make yourself comfortable on this couch Mr Neely and tell me when you first started getting these delusions that tin whistles were sexy.
Oh, if I wert that tin whistle upon that lady's lips...
I think this is going to be my new clothes shop from now on

Incidentally, I just discovered this video of the most beautiful faces 2010. Not a bad way to spent 6 minutes? Miss Corr (or whatever her name is now) was no.1 twice apparently, though drops down this list a little now. Nevertheless there’s something here for everyone!

Notwithstanding the few oriental lollipops on the list, I would quite readily swap all of them for this lady:

Yes, yes very nice (I listened to her play Brahms too) BUT, more tin whistle sexiness:

I just came across a talented beauty that may surely be more up to Neely's ideal:
Ivana Gavrić was born in Sarajevo and moved to the UK where she studied music at the Guildhall School of Music, Cambridge, and the Royal College of Music. She has studied with pianists as distinguished as Dmitry Bashkirov, Stephen Kovacevich, and Roger Vignoles.
Ivana is featured as ‘Rising Star’ in the BBC Music Magazine’s December 2010 issue, and as Gramophone’s ‘One to watch’ in the September 2010 issue. She has garnered glowing reviews for her performances and her first recording, has received the highest accolades including comments such as "There is no doubt in my mind that this CD could well mark the beginning of an outstanding international recording career: playing of this quality does not come along every day. Above all, Ivana Gavrić is a true musician." (International Record Review, October 2010) and "Gavric’s playing is altogether of an extraordinary calibre.” (5 stars) Instrumental Choice of the month)." (BBC Music Magazine)
I'm intrigued in her unusual or eclectic choice of music for her first recital recording. Rather than seeking out the usual favorites of Chopin or Beethoven, Gavrić elects to perform Janácek's In the Mists, Schubert's Sonata in D Minor, D 784 and several of his Moments Musicaux, as well as Liszt's Tre Sonetti di Petrarca from Anées de Pèlerinage and a couple of Rachmaninoff's Preludes.
Ivana Gavrić's website can be found here:

... and samples of her playing can be heard here:
