Enya - Interview on the Late Late Show (part 1 of 2)

Enya being interviewed on the Irish chat show, The Late Late Show. It has been quite some years since Enya last gave an interview in RTÉ's Studio 4. She is one of the biggest selling female artists in history. At 70 million albums and counting, she is bigger worldwide than Madonna. Yet, for most of the time, she lives a quite life in Dublin. Originally from Gweedore in County Donegal, Enya spoke to Pat Kenny about her new album 'Amarantine', life in and out of the spotlight, stalkers and a whole lot more besides.
Originally aired on RTÉ One in February 2006.

Her name in Gaelic language old Irish language her name is not ENYA it's something completely different: In Gaelic E = DAUGHTER ETHA = OF BRENAHAM SO SHE IS THE DAUGHTER OF BRENAHAM IN GAELIC ☘ Your lucky that an angel touched you and your voice so magical that voice sounds like an angel 🌟 Your A golden star when you listen to your music outside we see you 💛 Your A golden heart to everyone can suck them into their hearts your voice is so perfect that with the A. Sound B. Tone C. Love Of your music makes us fall in love with you

[@lnvaderGir]

She looks good for 50 years old. I think it all comes down to how you feel in the inside. You can tell shes at peace with her self , enjoying life day by day. That's why he voice and how she looks is so radiant. I feel honored listening to her music.

[@Little-Dude]

Has anyone noticed that her normal voice is just as lyrical was when she was singing? How can anyone stalk this lovely woman? It's unthinkable. She's brought us nothing but peace in our world. I love the Loxian language. It's beautiful and makes so much sense. The "see umbrai-aya" line is my favorite line from "Water Shows the Hidden Heart". I'm so glad she mentioned "The River Sings" It's one of my all time favorite song.

[@drliceman]

She's a true musician! "I try not to think about the sales aspect, I try to focus a lot on the music". That's why her music is awesome

[@Sunset873]

This woman's music will last for generations. They're just timeless and no body can ever compete with that. No matter what race, color, or gender they appeal to all. Amazing and enchanted!!

Enya is the queen of Ireland.... She is true original artist

[@pianomanmadmax]

Es la Reyna del mundo . . . del UNIVERSO ENTERO . . .

[@marianabelmonte3617]

@@pianomanmadmaxasí es, te¡ doy toda la razón!!!! Enya es la reina de todos y cada uno de nuestros planetas…!!! creo que Enya debería ser la elegida para gobernar este mundo y este planeta. Ya que ella tiene todo el poder en sus manos💓😂😂 0:00

[@hinkhall5291]

I second that.

[@MyTubeEditor]

Enya is such a beautifull and warm woman, her music is the most amazing thing ever! Every song makes me cry of joy! WOW!!!

[@kouassiakesse7882]

She is so angelic💗💗💗

[@yoiashi]

she feels ethereal. shes definitely not some ordinary person

[@anthony111isevilok]

Enya can control her life how she wishes and branding her a "recluse" is absurd. Just because most celebs/artists appear in the mags falling out of cabs or having affairs doesn't mean a fantastic artist who enjoys her private life out of the limelight is a recluse. Enya as a person and her music really is an inspiration, I adore her each and every album

[@DivaJefferson]

I love Enya. She is so talented and I greatly admire her!

[@DeadlyWhispers]

Even her spoken voice is soothing...

[@hotladychika]

she is so down to earth, it's amazing that she's so succesful and not lost in success

[@EnyaIsAPirate]

I was named after her. Lol. I love her voice :3

[@Happy_HIbiscus]

🙂

[@jsm33t]

awesome

[@delbroox]

great choice! Tell your parents I support their choice lol!

[@AgapiEinai]

Enya has inspired me in so many ways. When I first heard Memory of Trees, I was stunned and speechless. It was if my whole life has changed. That was years ago, and I'm afraid it will never be the same. Enya's music is something that helped bring me through the darkest and roughest points in my life. Although I sometimes stray from her, I can never leave her. She is my all-time favorite artist. There is no one who can compare to her. Bless you Enya!

[@davidgespavi]

What a beautiful woman. She's precious.

She is incredibly beautiful. Those eyes and that smile. Fantastic bone structure as she is Irish. For a long time I've wanted to hear her sing with Kate Bush.

[@googo151]

Tears flow from my eyes when I listen to her without fail.

[@catndryer]

Enya is the only Enya we have. I hope she outlives me because I can't imagine life without Enya.

[@stetson172002]

What a woman. Being born here in the U.S.A. from Irish parents. She is such a doll!

[@Gypsy2057]

Just so you know I'm a big fan here in America. Thank you Enya for all the beautiful music.

[@lauramccabe3720]

I will tell her that she is my cousin

[@delbroox]

Such a special woman. We're blessed to have her.

One of the worlds most amazing talents and a true natural wonder

She saved My Life over 10 Years ago...I'll be forever grateful to You, Eithne..

[@sulaimonmaestro2436]

I was in too deep with enya and this is the first time im seeing an interview, after about 10 yrs too, wow, i cant believe my love for her hasn't changed... She GREAT!!!

[@marysparrow1314]

I've loved her since my teens and still love her in my mid- forties. She is beautiful and enigmatic

[@katycharles1578]

Her music is timeless. Why would people stalk her?! Poor lady..

[@Silent_Stillness]

+Katy Charles Just like you I was very saddened to hear this. My understanding of this is that when people are desperate in their lives, unhealthy in their minds, and can't find a meaning or a purpose to their own existence, when they get exposed to such a shining beacon of light and consciousness, and that is Enya, an obsession can form in which they think being close to her will be the answer to put an end to their pain. In the very list of comments left for this specific KZbin video, you can scroll and look for comments left by a "Steven Griffin", and you'll see that this problem is very real unfortunately...

[@Liston303]

Obviously it's impossible to know without ever meeting her but she just seems like she'd be such a nice person in real life. Like, she seems very sweet and genuine and just not into all the traditional trappings of stardom but just someone who enjoys making her art.

[@markdufresne5964]

One of my VERY favorite voices, EVER!!!

[@ASorin-mi6su]

Great interview ! I like this one the best, she is in good mood and the dialogue flows nice, she talks about all sort of things and we have fun. She is our queen for ever.

[@musicnarts22]

Her fans should appreciate what she gives us. She isn't /scared/ to tour, it's a big process and needs to be planned out right.

[@humbertooliveira40]

A melhor cantora ainda em atividade atualmente!

[@themadfarmer5207]

What a coup by Pat Kenny to get an interview with Enya. A princess living in a castle. No other setting would be appropriate. Breath takingly stunning

[@alsalmon4788]

Have loved her music , and the music of Moya and Clannnad , for decades .

[@VladSicoe]

I really love her speaking voice. It's so calm and soothing

[@graleh]

Her voice is so calming and feel comforting. She seems to be a very awesome and kind person. I don't like where the interviewer asks her about being "recluse". Just because she is not in media all the time, drinking and being an asshole like all other celebreties? It's a pity that she actually got this question and I like her way of replying, that it depends on how you define the word "recluse".

[@wjrojo]

True

[@RetroSonya]

I have always been a fan of Enya. Her music has been such a blessing!

[@nicolettacarlone8150]

She is such a lovely person, LOVE her music!

[@emmaphilo4049]

She is so exceptional and beautiful that she attracts a lot of attention and passion.... Not easy...it also says a lot about the people, it's a bit sad. Enya isn't responsible for that, it's something lacking in these people's life they can't find anywhere in the world/society ...

[@nevar187]

New generation, focus her English ascent. A lot we can learn from her. No hurry, tatters. She replies very calmly & cool. This interview of Enya will be a good platform for those want to improve on communication skills particularly for Toastmasters comrades. Great Enya. God bless you.

She's one of the few true ladies left on earth--"lady" in all the noblest meaning of the word.

[@Pendaz11]

shes amazing such a beautiful soul which reflects in her music

[@christophertudor4727]

Beautiful and delicate like a freshly bloomed spring narcissus! I have just described this terrific woman, her voice (both spoken and sung), her music and her aura and mystique. I'm proud to be a fellow Celt along with the Irish, Scots, Manx, Cornish and Bretons!

[@lordgoro]

Ive always been in love with Enya..

[@zanetasolis9724]

She lives in a castle in Ireland that just makes me love her even more.

[@toshinquetzalcoatl7314]

I wish there were more women with a pure essence as her......She is the only type of woman I would ever consider marrying....She has a very mystical and angelic presence.

[@SuperPurpleMoonlight]

Enya is just so so amazing - Her music is just hauntingly beautiful in a peaceful, mysterious way and the way she is also, her whole personality is calming and peaceful; And the fact she lives in a castle is just, just perfect for her. I would love to meet Enya - she is amazing :-)

[@TheMusicalGameroriginal]

Yes I realize she is like 53 and I'm 20. I don't care, I would still marry this woman.

[@VCJS31]

[@esangbedopatricia90]

I used to listen to enya back in 02. the music is in my heart so much I listen to it in 2014 again... the heart is such a secure vault of what is therapeutic...

[@shethewriter]

I HATE when people ask her what "attracts" stalkers. She's not responsible for stalker behavior and she doesn't have to understand it. She doesn't have some secret answer for why people act like that. It's such an insensitive thing to ask about.

[@CommodoreDanielJackson]

Been there. Sad but people get a sense of power by negative comments and claiming to know someone via "stalking" or asking for autographs.

[@ptknudson80]

What a beautiful person.

[@poornimawijendra]

[@carmentridi]

her music makes me think so much things... she´s so special

[@PaulOConnellthePOW]

Wow she is so authentic and genuine.

[@aindriu1989]

she is a very beautiful and talented woman.i think people dont understand that she likes to keep her life private.which is why we never see her unless it's to promote an album.other music stars like to parade their lives in front of the world.she fortunately is not one of those people.

[@AnimeObsession3000]

This is the first time I've ever heard her talk. :D

[@gpwil3847]

A wonderful artist, with a huge body of work and all of it is exquisitely beautiful. How sad she has had to deal with stalkers. I have been building my collection of Loreena Mckennitt but have about 3 or more CD's to collect from Enya's work, because they are all amazing and her voice is so beautiful.
