Sheena did come across as meek and plain. Most "stars" are until the managers, stylists, coaches, etc get ahold of them and fashion a persona.

This is THE ONLY thing I know Lulu from.
I guess she was a bigger hit I'm England to be giving advice like a seasoned popstar 13 years after the movie.

I bet being told she wasn't edgy enough led Sheena to sing a song about her pussy (Sugar Walls) years later.

R7 Lulu was a huge singer in the UK. She was actually in the midst of a brief comeback at the time in the US as well. She never really got her fair due though. Her material is quite good, and very varied.
My favorite clip. Donna being playful to Lulu at the American Music Awards, and she's clearly NOT amused (at 1:25). Introduced by Sheena, who's wearing a dust ruffle.

My introduction to Lulu was Absolutely Fabulous. She is introduced as an icon. And I happily played along without knowing much about her.

She turns up as a talking head on TV in the UK all the time, and she is an insincere fake. And she has to burst into “Shout” every time, uninvited. I have a friend who has known her years, and even he says she is a bitch.

Lulu was a bitch to Sheena in that clip. I love it how the whole time, Sheena is shooting daggers at them both.

I didn’t really see it as bullying. They were just stating their opinions. You get that kind of stuff from everyone if you’re trying to break through in any performing arts in show biz. Sheena had the last laugh with multiple Grammys and hit songs. All that matters.

Sheena was #7 on the US Billboard top female artist list for the 80s. Not bad for a Scottish singer from Bellshill. Lulu didn’t have any US hits in the 80s.

Lulu "changed her tune" in her 2002 memoir. David Bowie died in 2016. At least try to be believable in what you assert.

Not true. "I Could Never Miss You (More Than I Do)" was a Top 20 US hit for Lulu in 1981.

Yes. It's a lovely song. Melba Moore covered it. And Shirley Bassey covered in Spanish, bizarrely.

I think Dusty seemed more wary of talking to the interviewer, especially as this was a year of two after her big comeback tour was cancelled due to low ticket sales.
