Did Laura Branigan have any good albums?

[GODDESS6]

laura had a headache for like 3 days & went to bed 1 night & didn't wake up, yep it was an aneurysm (*SP)~
very sad~ i love "gloria" & solitaire"~

Solitaire was the song I loved. I also think her cover of Dim All The Lights is really good.

Can't say that I enjoy (or even tolerate) her music anymore...but I sure did in the 80's. Spanish Eddie was fun.

She's got a strong voice, interesting vocals.

Yeah, I went through a phase where I really was into her. But it didnt last too long.

Solitaire is my favorite too. I can't stand her version of How Am I Supposed To Live Without You...eeekkk!

You know, that's really a shame she didnt seek medical ettention for it, but then again, how could she have known?

Its definate that Laura could sing better than Paula - but their albums I find to be similar - all filler, no killer.

I know I'm beating a dead horse, but for the life of me I dont understand why they havent gotten more of a foothold here. BUt the good thing is when I saw them live here in Minneapolis, they played a small club with only about 500 people.

Its very hard for artists based outside of the US to get a foothold in the states without major backing from a record label - and since V2 is hardly a major, there is probably little or no chance of them getting big over there - maybe if they signed to directly or indirectly to one of the majors, and wether the company sees it in there best interests, they may push them to sell in the states

Oh well. One of the things I love about them is that they dont really give a ****. They just do their thing, and if you, like it, great, if you dont, move on. It was funny when I met them though Kelly told me that if we were over in the U.K theyd need bodyguards. I was the only one waiting when they showed up here.

I assume they are popular everywhere outside of the US.

Its really funny how everybody knows so much about artists from America, but Americans don't know anything about artists from other countrys

Living in the US is like living in your own world isnt it

It can be. I've been lucky enought to have traveled to Europe twice, Hong Kong and Australia. It has really helped broaden my perspective. Although I regret when I went to Australia I didnt do New Zealand.
