Shirley Manson Famous Scots exhibition interview (May 25, 2009)

[cyrilconnection]

Vive l'Ecosse !

[ROMANTIKILLER2]

Scottish accent makes this lady even more lovely if possible.

[vampireravefan]

id like to trace my family tree. hearing that shes 100% scottish makes me love her even more

[SilentCoda]

God, I love listening to her talk.

[gaelscot]

if her blood line is 100% scots, means her ancestors were picts, the original habitats of pictland (scotland). it was the irish gaels and the picts that merged to form the kingdom of alba.. thus becoming the modern day scot, (hgihland scot). i took a dna test, i have more than 50 percent pcitish blood the rest is highland celtic ancestory.

[TheSecondEvolution]

Love that accent...so sexy!

[ModernApple]

She's just fantastic!

[Redline748]

I don't know what it is but over the years I've noticed that Scottish girls tend to be pretty gorgeous, is it true? or is it cos I tend to like girls with Red hair? but even non Red scott girls are pretty fine too

[AlbaSiar]

@Snowboredsnj - True, but her lineage indicates she is of Scots heritage -.implying a direct lineage back to the indigenous Scots,Pictish, or Brythonic(Welsh) tribes. Scottish on the other hand , is a catch all term which can (and often does) mean virtually anything (and applies to anybody) these days. . To put it more bluntly her 'blood line' is Scots, as the DNA tests prove.

[faridjabba]

love the acent n look

[ScarlettRoberts]

I'm venezuelan of birth... My father is arabic my mother venezuelan, I got Italian and Spainish Blood... and A little of portuguese! Lucky shirley you are scotish! the second nation I Love after England!

[marguitar1]

I'm happy to see that she still looks really good!!!! You're a very attractive and talented lady Shirlley!!!

[koeppe]

scottish tru an tru!

I like her eventhough i have Irish roots!

[snowboredsnj]

wut's it mean to just be scottish? so many peoples have been thru that whole island, its kinda hard to really peg it.

I tried to trace my family line back a ways... and there seems to be a lot of iffy areas in the tree around time of large viking visits.

[wsj1887]

Shirley Ardell Mason??!?!? WTF, she shares the name of America's renowned multiple personality sufferer, also names Sybil.

[IsilionNELE]

no her full name is Shirley Ann Manson, not Ardell.

you can even see it on the poster behind her on 0:39

[psychicwhoosh]

God I would love to watch her paint her entire body blue, jump on the back of a horse, and give a rousing pre-battle speech before charging into battle against the English.

[marluxiamania75321]

I am so in love with her she will always be the most beautiful woman alive

[008xtreme]

tru and tru.

Lol.

[MartinRiggs00]

did she fix her teeth? they look more straight i think

[ABSOLUTgarbage]

Yeh, she got her teeth straightened between the V2.0 and BG albums and then more work done between BG and BLM. I love her smile as always but I sorta miss her old wonky teeth!

[lonely0soul]

@ABSOLUTgarbage I miss her old smile :/ but hey It's Shirley.. I got to love her♥

[ljoch88]

well shirley keep it scotish Ey lassey :D

[roxy4you2009]

and she´s got a beautiful face and a perfect profile.. d u see??

[roxy4you2009]

That accent!! and she is still so beautiful as always..

[redfeathergoldstar]

yes, Go CRAIG for #5! Craig FTW!

[redfeathergoldstar]

you were in the personal presence of God then...

[JRS1982]

quick: name two more famous scots. Oh, snap!

[MrDrProfessorJrMD]

She's still beautiful. I bet even when she's 60 she'll look good.

[maximoal]

I love you Shirley

[Gaeilgeoir]

I can never tire of seeing her or hearing her beautiful accent :))

I think she'll always be beautiful, even at 100! :D

[machinesbreathe]

I know... What a beautiful brogue.

[Android18uk]

oh no, her mum died. How awful : (

[SilWinder]

T-1001

[just1transfan]

Love her frikking accent. Why can't there be more women like her in the US?

[Android18uk]

because she's so scottish? lol

[Slides2006]

I doubt she is 100% Scottish. More like 500% Scottish. At least that's my opinion as a non-Scottish person.

[Tifanix]

why's she so cool? xD

[IWannabeJew]

She's so fidgety when she does some of these interviews (maybe comes from having to move around on stage, when singing?) that it makes you want to throw your arms around her and hold her tight. :D

[elkartian]

i read Brian Cox the actor is next to be in the exhibition

[elkartian]

i wonder who the next 3 scots will be lay your bets here i would like to see sean connery,annie lennox,ewan macregor,

so many or maybe a scots male singer like rod stewart.anyway im so pleased that Shirley Manson got there,They should make a film of her life story next that would be fucking amazing..you dont get a more interesting story of her rise from bullying and self harming to the usa & superstar rock godess and actress,with many tales to tell on the way.are the film directors looking

[ElectroChris69]

nah rod stewarts english, tho he claims to be scottish

and uv forgotten the Big Yin Billy Connolly

[ABSOLUTgarbage]

Billy Connolly has already been done, in January he was the first.

The papers are reporting that Brian Cox is next, and according to Shirley, they are looking into Craig Ferguson's family tree as well, so he might be #5 out of the six. Which leads me to speculate that #6 will be a female, just for balance if nothing else!

[elkartian]

no i didnt forget, Billy Connellys is already in the exhibition alomng with sir james black,shirley was the 3rd famous scot ,i have heard the 4th will be actor brian cox

[koeppe]

that new hairstyle is great,isn't it?

and now it's proofed,100% scotish trough n trough!

[alanedinburgh]

hey

i was here lol. the public were alowed in!!! i was a complete sado and went along for it opening and was the first person there, dont think alot of people new about it. ended up speeking to one of her relations who thought i new her ( i wish) . was takin phots when she just randomly walked in!!! love it how she can just do what the hell she wants in her home town without any hassle! to shy to say anythin to her but she looked beautiful as she always does!!! her new fella was wi her aswell!

[betodamasio]

just love her

[jadeathillys]

She is so HOT!! I mean, is it possible?! I'd do about anything to meet her... *sigh*

[SophiesInsanity]

And now I wish I'd gone to see my gran in Edinburgh for this half term and gone along to the exhibition. Dammit. Mind you the general public probs werent allowed in on that day but still grrr.

[enossified]

I'm soooo jealous! Great short interview!

[kokokulek]
