but look who is laughing now, are yanni accolades paying the bill, don't compare past glories with present success.

What do you mean by who is laughing now? Yanni is living in the present. That i stated his past achievements never means he is no more achieving. It should interest you to know Yanni has organized and still organises more concert than Enya. His "Live At The Acropolis Concert" is the 2nd best selling music concert of all time. This is a musician who has performed in more than 30 famous locations the world over(Taj Mahal et al)... It's very obvious you don't know much about Yanni, so i pardon you for thinking less of him.

Enya.
Now that's one artist I never really could understand.
I think we share a lot in common though I still kinda feel there's something quite eerie about her.
My thoughts.

TEODIN:

Ah... coldplay... this thread is showing me people like me on nairaland...viva la vida and hymn for the weekend are the most played songs till now on my phone

Awaitingkopa:
Never seen her face /picture before. Sure that's Enya?

LagosWharf:
Enya fans are usually deep thinkers.

Fourwinds:

Eurus ,Afer Ventus

Fix You is my ringtone. Changed from Viva La Vida. Yoused to be X & Y. You can't imitate the emotional charge you get from Coldplay and Enya. You really can't

hmmmmmm.

I love dis babe..

The first time I heard her music was in this nollywood movie "Sakobi" I think it was Adiemus. I always got scared when I hear her music at night cos I thought she was Evil And she has that scary Pale-looking face like a Vampire.
Yanni's music was used as a soundtrack in "Living in Bondage" that one I never even want to see his face cos I'll freak out!

5. More than a star.
When speaking of stars, Enya is on the pedestal. No, scrap that!

Enya is more than a star, she is a planet, albeit small.

In 1978, an asteroid; 6433 Enya was discovered. Your bet is as good as mine, it was named after Enya.

oh! didn't know about that but I know that in 2017 a new type of fish species seen at Orinoco streams was named Leporinus enyae, after Enya.

Eithne Pádraigín Ní Bhraonáin (anglicised as Enya Patricia Brennan /ˈɛnjə/; born 17 May 1961), known professionally as Enya, is an Irish singer, songwriter and musician. Born into a musical family and raised in the Irish speaking area of Gweedore in County Donegal, Enya began her music career when she joined her family's Celtic band Clannad in 1980 on keyboards and backing vocals. She left in 1982 with their manager and producer Nicky Ryan to pursue a solo career, with Ryan's wife Roma Ryan as her lyricist. Enya developed her distinct sound over the following four years with multi-tracked vocals and keyboards with elements of new age, Celtic, classical, church, and folk music. She has sung in ten languages.

Enya's first projects as a solo artist included soundtrack work for The Frog Prince (1984) and the 1987 BBC documentary series The Celts, which was released as her debut album, Enya (1987). She signed with Warner Music UK which granted her considerable artistic freedom and minimal interference from the label. The commercial and critical success of Watermark (1988) propelled her to worldwide fame, helped by its international top 10 hit single, "Orinoco Flow". This was followed by the multi-million selling albums Shepherd Moons (1991), The Memory of Trees (1995) and A Day Without Rain (2000). Sales of the latter and its lead single, "Only Time", surged in the United States following its use in the media coverage of the September 11 attacks. Following Amarantine (2005) and And Winter Came... (2008), Enya took an extended break from music; she returned in 2012 and released Dark Sky Island (2015).

Enya is known for her private lifestyle and has yet to undertake a concert tour. She is Ireland's best selling solo artist[2] and second overall behind U2, with a discography that has sold 26.5 million certified albums in the United States[3] and an estimated 75 million records worldwide, making her one of the best-selling music artists of all time.[4] A Day Without Rain (2000) remains the best selling new age album with an estimated 16 million copies sold worldwide.[5] Enya has won several awards throughout her career, including seven World Music Awards, four Grammy Awards for Best New Age Album,[6] and an Ivor Novello Award. She was nominated for an Academy Award and a Golden Globe Award for "May It Be", a song she wrote for The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring (2001).

The Irish can sing. And they can drink.

Hmm....Enya's far n away can make me shiver

Aunty has sold 75 million albums and Aunty is worth 100Million Dollar....Yet aunty no dey bare cleavage, Anty just dey live lowkey lifestyle like aunty Celine Dion...

Thought the Scots are worse drinkers. Yes, I agree with you. They can sing. The Westlife guys are from Ireland and a plethora of others.

She isn't. Enya is Catholic. Some persons do not just love the media. She is one of them. She said she is out to sell her music not herself.

They call her "demonic" because her songs are known for tranquility, serenity and peace.

This woman is actually demonic, or better put, belongs to their satanic cult.
Did you see the image on the wall of one of the pictures you posted? That's an occultic symbol.
first of all, the image was drawn under a pyramid, with the all seeing eyes (represented by the bulb). The image itself depicts the pentagram(or star of david) with the devil and its horns.
She was passing a sublime message by taking a pics in front of it.
Sometimes, these things are not really the way you see them. If you know, you know.
I used to hear her songs before I knew her, and something just didn't sit right with it. This picture with the image on the wall confirms my assertion.

Eye of Horus, right?

SoapQueen:

yeah, you have an idea if what I'm talking about .
The wall is built like a pyramid with the all seeing eyes represented by the bulb or light. Then the pentagram in red, with the devil and his horns inscribed within.

Enya is bae

czarina:
Enya and Coldplay. All time massage favorites. Sometimes I wonder if I actually play those songs for the clients or myself
Nice article op....Enya fever activated!

Marry me o godsent angel......say yes

The Celts....(my anthem)
The Longships....(ooh, I love this one)
After ventus....(speechless)
Lazy days....(my chill song)
Drifting... (I feel lost)

Carribean blue
Dan y dwr
Deora ar mo chro
The three creepy sisters.....(pax deorum, tempus vernum and cursum perficio)
Instrumentals....(drifting, tea house moon, oriel window, epona, to go beyond, Aldebaran, the memory of trees, miss Clare remembers, no holly for miss Quinn, fairytale, lothlorien)
Upon your shore
Once you had gold
amarantine
Anywhere is
Last time by moonlight
Flora's secret
May it be, only time....(the commoners)
Athair ah neamh,
deiruadh ad tuath,
na laetha Gael m'oige
Smaointe
One by one,
One toy soldier,
Long long journey
Exile
Evacuee
Evening falls
Only if.....
And so on



Enya is a force of nature
