Bangkok is a whole other world as is most of Thailand for those who haven’t been. If you have a couple million in the bank you can live like a king, more or less. I’ve spent time there on business with very rich colleagues in their beautiful mansions and could not wait to escape tbh. I’m not into trans or “ladyboys” so I guess I wasn’t the audience for that either, but I usually don’t fuck around on business trips anyway, especially if gay sex acts are potentially (?) criminal.

Except for the stripper bars lining the street, that is a typical night market. They all sell the same crap all over Thailand.

Brandi Carlile is not the same as Belinda Carlisle. Brandi is a lesbyterian folk singer, Belinda lead singer of the Go-Go’s. The reason Belinda was fat doing coke is because coke sometimes bloats you. See how many people have heart attacks doing coke. It enlarges the heart almost like a diuretic. She also ate a lot and the Theo combined will make you look like the Goodyear blimp. Morgan Mason was some Reagan asslicker, but according to something I read, maybe her book, when Duke came out, he was more supportive than her.

I love the Go-Go. They were unabashed San Fernando valley gutter sluts who loved drugs and getting fucked. They were much more gritty before their record label made them over, especially Belinda. I love how they all still talk like 80's valley girls when they get together.
Belinda seems interesting at least. I heard she was performing on a gay cruise and the first thing she asked a group of guys was "who has the drugs" and all the gays kept her fucked up throughout.

I recently watched the Go Go's documentary and I have more questions than answers. They completely left out the whole thing with Kathy from a few years ago. In fact, the documentary didn't say much about how they reunited. Yet strangely, Charlotte and Belinda still worked together quite a lot.
I found it interesting to learn that Mad About You was almost a Go Go's song. I wonder how a fourth GG album in the '80s would have worked. Considering when they broke up, The Bangles took on the latter half of the '80s as the girl group who could play instruments.

I’m a big Belinda fan, I had a keychain with her pic on it throughout high school, have most of her music & read her autobiography. I can’t remember where I heard this, but supposedly when she met her husband, he told her he worked for Ronald Reagan, & she didn’t know who he was!

Madge didn't like Belinda Carlisle. I remember this scene where her back up singers are doing something with their vocal cords to "Heaven is a Place on Earth" and Madonna is complaining about having to listen to them. This makes me laugh.

R143 My now deceased classmate & I were the biggest fans of Belinda Carlisle & around the summer of 1988, Belinda did a radio interview (I think it was national) that was carried by our local radio station. It was a call in program & I remember both of us fawning over Belinda's sweet response to a grade schooler who liked her music.
Before the show was over someone called in & asked her about Madonna. Belinda said they had indeed met, they worked out at the same gym & were on friendly terms then.
Sounds like that scene in her "Truth Or Dare" film torpedoed any good will that was between them.

I agree with someone who said Belinda seemed happier when she was doing things with the group rather than as a solo artist carrying all of the load.
Look how shy & awkward she is doing an interview for her debut album back in 1986.

Belinda was never a great singer. She got by on her looks and her personality. She had a great stage presence. Just like Madonna, Kylie Minogue, Paula Abdul and Britney Spears. The list goes on and on of not great vocalists who became successful. She's not the first and by no means the last.

As much as I love Belinda the one thing I would never say about her is that she had a great stage presence. And I've seen her live a few times.
She's one of the most boring disengaged performers I've ever seen. She's more engaged when she's with the Go-Go's. Maybe it's nerves, but she's not a great performer.

I also remember a Creem article about female pop singers that detailed how Belinda's publicist/manager "forbade" the magazine to mention her alongside Madonna, Tiffany, Janet, Debbie, etc., because Belinda was "a serious artist." Yeah, right.

While she may have been lying to her friends and family at the time, Belinda didn't really pull any punches when talking about her drug use publicly in the last 5–10 years. I remember watching an interview where she admitted to snorting lines of cocaine either in the bathroom of her son's school, or before driving him to school (I can't remember which)—some could interpret sharing that as emotional nudism, but it takes guts to admit to something like that, let alone to the world. I think she has suffered from a lot of self-loathing and am glad she is in a healthy place day.

Belinda was asked about it when she was promoting Live Your Life Be Free in the UK. The response was close to "What a fucking bitch! I paid her to sing for me!".
Belinda did and interview a few years ago when she was more accepting of De Lory's flaws. And they worked together on some awful tantric chanting thing.
[quote]And yes, being referred to out of nowhere in that movie was definitely strange. Donna was a backup singer of mine before she started working for Madonna, so that was unexpected. But we actually worked together this past February, Donna and I, and there were unspoken amends made. It doesn’t bother me now. But even when something negative comes your way, it usually means that you have some sort of profile, and that’s generally a good thing.
Poor Donna. She always thought she was worth so much more than doing backing vocals but will always be in Madonna's shadow. Niki Haris broke out with the Snap! records, but Donna seems bitter. No wonder Siedah Garrett didn't like her much.

R163 Belinda wins that competition for me due to the simple fact that Belinda is a sensible, down-to-earth person, and not an exploitative, egomaniacal cunt like Madonna. Nothing will ever fulfill Madonna, and I think, unfortunately, she will die a miserable person. Belinda seems to have done work on herself and is happier for it. She seems content with her legacy and is realistic about it, whereas Madonna is still desperately clawing for relevance.

R136 Apparently, the band really wanted to do a documentary, hoping that it would remind people of their early achievements.
But they deemed two things to be completely off limits to discuss in the doc.
One was the night that was captured on video and played a big role in the Beyond the Music - where Belinda says "Why can't girls jack off?" and Kathy ends up drunkenly trying to put a dildo in some roadie's ass.
The other was the Kathy/lawsuit business.
They may think we've forgotten but I haven't. And it's totally fucking Belinda behind it, one hundred percent.
