Lulu - If You Only Knew (The MEMOIR)

[Marilyn]

Pop legend Lulu looks back over her astonishing life with fresh eyes, reflecting on all she has learnt.

From the tenements of Glasgow to the Royal Albert Hall and the glittering lights of Hollywood: Lulu’s journey to fame and fortune is like no other British pop star. When she was 14 years old, she was invited down to London to sing, and the rest is history. She stepped into a part she played for the next 40 years. A part she played so well that she gradually lost who she was, becoming the version of herself she thought others wanted to see.

The book charts the highs and the lows of one of the longest running shows in British rock and roll history. It is the story of one woman’s determination to stay real, relevant and happy, and one which ultimately reveals a woman who is far stronger and far braver than anyone knew.

This is a pop memoir like no other.

Not since Dannii Minogue: My Story...

Let's just conveniently forget that she already has a memoir from like 25 years ago

Well this time she does want to fight.

Excuse me, you seem to have placed this thread in: Divas & Moopy Icons

Did you mean: The Pop Toilet

To be fair, her career has really been on the up since then, so I imagine she has a plethora of exciting new stories to tell.

I have posted the thread in the appropriate subforum

I dread to think how a Lulu memoir reads like a Catherine Cookson novel.

 

[AGinAg (37)]

I've never read Catherine Cookson, so I asked A.I.

Catherine Cookson wrote historical fiction, often set in working-class North East England, particularly in Tyneside during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Her books are known for:

• Strong female protagonists overcoming poverty, hardship, and social stigma
• Themes of class struggle, illegitimacy, family secrets, and resilience
• A mix of romance, drama, and domestic realism
• Clear moral tone, often featuring redemption and personal growth

• Clear moral tone, often featuring redemption and personal growth

I'm very dubious about this for Lulu.

BRING BACK BOOK BURNING

I wonder how many times MOOPY gets mentioned

The Here Come The Girls chapter(s?) will be full of tears, laughter, and behind the scenes mayhem!

 

[Marilyn]

Just realised I got the name of the book wrong in the thread title

Oh well

I did wonder why she'd named it after a Tom Jones song.

 

[jivafox]

Her first “book” once fell on my head in the library at my old work, which I refuse to believe was accidental.

 

[K.C.]

I can only imagine what her DEAD thread would be like.

 

[straightorbroken]

I wonder if she'll lift the (flora) lid on her famously frosty chemistry with Anastacia on Loose Women.

 

[funky]

How INEXPLICABLY EVIL that she borrowed (without permission I am guessing) the title of Aaliyah's masterpiece (well the Finnebassen remix anyway)

 

[straightorbroken]

This came up on my feed. Some people in the comments aren't buying it.

 

[Jark]

what aren't they buying? that she was actually an alcoholic?

 

[Jark]

I suppose there are a wide range of definitions in fairness

 

[K.C.]

Nobody here wants to acknowledge her talent and excellence.

 

[Halli]

what aren't they buying?

her albams

 

[Halli]

and Pamphlet.

 

[octophone]

I wouldn't wish alcoholism on anyone. Even her.

Well. MAYBE her.

No. No, don't go there, octy, remember, you have principles.


Could she be the exception tho'?

No. Stoppit.


"Weee-eee-eee-ee-eee-ee-eeel BURP"

Shit, made myself laugh now.
