She has done very well, hugely popular songs and I think on the whole she is fondly thought of. Glad she overcame her demons to better herself and was self-aware enough to make positive changes. I've had a similar childhood to her and also dabbled in drugs and I think if I had her money back then I would also probably be dead! But we all learn from our mistakes and become better people (if we so choose to)
I wouldn't call this tragic just a very relatable life story. She's persevered and come out strong. She's a true survivor who turned her life around and gave us some iconic 80's music! Belinda still ROCKS and is a beautiful soul! 🥰
I got to see the GoGo's, I think in 1980. Trust me Belinda, you weren't the only one there that was trashed. I liked your music then and still do. Those years in the 70s were just the beginning of a life long addiction for me. I have 2 1/2 years now in recovery. I'm so grateful for the treatment center I went to. These months of being clean and sober for me haven't been easy, but I plan to keep trying. Hope you do as well. God Bless!
Good for you. It gets better. I also saw the Gogo’s in 1980, I had a huge crush on the guitarist, I forget her name but she appeared to be the most musically competent to my naive teenage musicians eyes. I probably would have had a heart attack if I knew they were hoping for groupies. Not that I would have done anything, way too shy and prudish (I used to think it was respect for women, sure - that was part of it :D). I remember Ms Carlile saying in an interview she’d lost weight when she got off cocaine in about 1992-3. Well, that didn’t compute :D. I’m very impressed with her maturity about it now, though. The longer it goes on the harder it is to deal with. Or so a friend told me….
I am one of the original fans of Belinda and the Go Go's. OMG ............ the 80's would not have been the same without the Go Go's. I was there, at every concert and believe it or not; as a recovering addict myself of some 30 years plus I intentionally did not use mind altering drugs for those concerts. I wanted the unaltered mind set to enjoy that incredible music and time. Loved it all and she, and or they were a big part of my life then. I am pleased that Belinda found a better way, as did I. Nice to see we are both here to talk about it.
Hearing all of this, I actually have so much more admiration for her. Not only is she incredibly beautiful, talented, and successful... but she's strong and has tenacity to keep pushing forward. Even when things were really hard, she never gave up. Hang in there, Belinda!
From the first time I heard her voice I was hooked. I was intrigued and I admired Belinda Carlisle for her beauty for her sassiness. She was real. She was beautiful on the outside as well as the inside and I'm sure she still beautiful inside today. But one thing I would tell her is that she's probably still alive because she's loved by many, including myself. Once you love someone and they're in your heart and soul, their energy feeds you and you feed their energy and I wish her well. Even though our time on earth is limited, the joy we have in life is unlimited. With just a smile. You touch my heart and soul enough to last a lifetime. Wishing you the best things in life. For me that is family friends with time to enjoy them
For someone who doesn’t have nice things to say about BC, you sure are spending your time & energy on here when you could be doing things you enjoy and/or supporting whoever floats your boat 😁
Belinda Carlisle taught me how to dance. I was about to leave high school, scared to death, and would watch her video "Mad About You" when videos were still played. She, frankly, taught me how to dance. I gained confidence from her. Went to college, met one of the greatest people in my life because my first night there, he danced next to me and said, "You're the only one here who knows how to dance." She has a soul that comes out extraordinarily even through a television. The world needs more Belinda Carlisles.
I knew her back in the day, she was beautiful but her face has had work done (when she was still young btw, now she has the standard stuff done recently clearly.)
She is an incredible woman - she is flawed and imperfect and struggled but is a good person who did her best and her son is a testament to how amazing she did with the hand she was dealt.
@karlwithak. Re-watch the video again, Belinda Carlisle clearly did NOT have a normal upbringing. Most of us, mercifully, grow up with loving parents who also love each other. We are also not led into a life of drug taking to shut out the damaging psychological crap going on around us.
🙏 Thank You So Much Belinda Carlisle for showing us that we can take baby steps to get away from the hellish existence of being slaves from the addictive drugs & alcohol that destroyed our bodies & minds & made everything much worse instead of better! Eating Healthy , do some Soft Exercises , Sleep Enough , are much better ways to prepared us to face our challenges to build~up our Financial Freedom & having a less burdened & suffering life for ourselves & family! We are Responsible for taking care of ourselves! With so many ex~addicts saying how relieved they're after being free from being slaves to demonic drugs & alcohol , hope the young ones would learn from these real life experiences of living hell on Earth! 🙏🕯🌷🌿🌏💜🕊
Omg i absolutely 💯 love The GoGo’s. Each and everyone of them. Belinda solo was great as well but I still love The Band as a whole. On my playlist even today. I couldn’t believe that after the release of Talk Show that they broke up. No social media at the time to see the inside story of the girls. They’re just so awesome early 80’s music 🎶 I’ve discovered 🔥
I'm sO TIRED of hearing people say: "I did drugs to ease the pain"... I rather DEAL with the pain than put my life at risk. I was wounded in a military operation and I was juiced up with morphine for the pain. I hated the feeling of wanting more and more than what I needed so I asked the medic to stop injecting me... I went through withdrawals for a month...it was F*#@ING HELL🤮
Voice...was good. Songs...good and very good at times. Personality...honest. I love that. Beauty: I can't think of anyone who comes close to her in terms of looks. Too beautiful if there is such a thing.
I was in a relationship with Jane (guitarist), and I got to know Belinda Carlisle and let me tell you… she comes on as sweet and innocent in her get up, but she is the meanest, nastiest, cruelest liberal, you could ever meet… the band feared her, but it was hard enough being a band let alone replacing a voice you just can’t do that
@@ayowser01 Why... all of us have two sides? We wouldn't be human if we were all goody goody. I've heard stories about her being snobbish or not wanting people invading her space, but that's natural otherwise every crazed fan would want to get close. Now I don't know why her political views or beliefs are mentioned here. Seems like a biased comment.
I love Berlinda Carlisle. She is an absolute goddess in my eyes. I've had a crush on her since I was a little boy watching her on TV. I love these girls. I actually had no idea about her addiction issues until I watch this video that's very insightful. I'm also in recovery so this hit home for me.
Belinda has a wonderful story of a twentieth century life that she survived to tell. A real survivor. I Truly respect her courage, she never gave up, and that is a story that needs telling, because many of our era aren't here too tell it. The GO GO's made a lot of good music, and I wish her all the best in her golden years.
They didn’t mention Belinda is married to the son of a major Hollywood star from decades ago, James Mason. James Mason co-starred in the original version of A Star Is Born, played Capt. Nemo in 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea, played Rommel in Desert Fox, starred in Salem’s Lot, etc etc etc.
Thanks for this I grew up listening to her I always love her I still do I had no idea of her issues I was just thought she was beautiful was an awesome singer and I still do and that's how I see her I love you belinda
I remember seeing the Go Go's at a heavy punk show at the whisky in their early days. Like she was talking about here. I remember her screaming " quit spitting on me?!" 😂 I loved them. I am happy she is okay with life now. Or at least trudging her way. Im a friend of Leonard Graves Phillips of the Dickies, and he was engaged to one of the girls at that time. They also had a heroin problem. They are very clean and sober now. I enjoyed this video. I miss the 70's & the 80's! It was such a different vibe. ❤
@@stevabobic You ain't seen nothing yet 😉 but in this instance I give credit to Belinda. Can resonate with what she had gone through even though she was subjected to the ever so annoying "cancel culture". Nonetheless, I give credit where it's due. Rightfully so. The beauty of this world is we all have opinions understanding with respect to others that might not agree. Lovely ain't it ? 💃
@@Karen-ig6bp Have you ever seen her live and up close? Of course you didn't. Because if you were, you would NEVER have written anything like what you wrote. The woman looked elderly in her late twenties and early twenties. Neck, dark circles, veins on the hands, skin shriveled, face with hairy cheeks, body freckled and full of small moles. You've never seen her like this. You see, I am. She aged prematurely, and that's because her body was toxic from narcotics and everything she ingested and did to herself. If you had seen her dead drunk, high, wasted and pissed off, you wouldn't have written like this. You would be disgusted with her for the rest of your life. When it comes to singing, she has NEVER had a clue about singing and NEVER will. Everything that happened to her in her career is solely her fault. And she is no legend and "icon": if she was, she would have sung in stadiums and sold hundreds of millions of albums. 99 percent of the people in this world have no idea who she is. Trust me. This subti only some of the parameters, and there are many, many.... All the best from Steve.
Belinda Belinda you came through it traveled through it found your self again and whole now ! You and the Go Go's were a 80's phenomena that will never be matched again once in a lifetime event that I'm glad I got to be at least a fan of the greatest all girl group of all time and by BTW I love your solo career in 1987 with Heaven Is A Place On Earth. Much success in the future :-)
In January 1988 I met Belinda. It was in Miami FL, at a political rally I was speaking. The Go Gos were one of the many bands that showed up. Hearing Belinda sing close was ready something.
How can she experience such deep inner conflict and insecurity? If she struggles this much, others who are less fortunate in terms of looks and background must find it even more challenging. She has been beautiful from her younger years to now, and I find her both attractive and full of life. People shouldn't focus on the negatives; there's so much more to appreciate and be grateful for in life.
Belinda we all do the best we can and we all make mistakes in life I had a band and I was the frontman and boy was I awful not mean to people just crazy and made plenty of mistakes I would to have back some I don't even know what they are it's that bad so hang in Belinda you are still talented and beautiful to of us fans and thanks for the great music
I don't know about "Tragic", " We" all have our experiences, and the challenges life has presented to us, the only difference with Belinda, is that much of it was in the public domain; Having said that, Belinda and the "Go Go's" played an integral part of popular music/culture in the 80's, certainty one of my favorites-
Sigh…had a crush on her for yeeeears. I was a little boy when the Go-gos hit, and I remember feeling all red faced when she was onscreen- her and Debbie Gibson lmao 😂! In retrospect, the blonde guitarist from gogos is honestly the hottest one, I feel- and the drummer, but the drummer because she just rips as a musician and seems tough as nails. They all seem pretty damn cool, too. They set my standard for the kinda gal I would grow up to want.❤
PS- To be fair, Jane, the super tiny other guitarist, wrote most of the songs. She also must sleep in a cryo coffin, because she looks and sounds almost exactly the same as she did like 40 years ago…🎉You Go-Go, Grrrrl!!!
@@andrefelixdiaz Ignore this troll, he obviously dislikes Belinda, but seems obsessed with her. I been seeing his comments over the years on anything related to her or her former band. Always trashing her looks and her voice.
I never knew any of this 😮 I remember her from the 80s and being probably the best looking woman ive ever seen in my life. Its difficult to accept that such a beautiful woman thought so lowly of herself and had a drug habit 🤔 i mean it doesnt make sense, the girl can sing, she was/is utterly beautiful where a runway model would be jealous of how good she looked compared to them. This lady had it all, if youre looking for top tier femininity Belinda ticked every box. Hope shes feeling better either way, she touched a lot of people with her music.
I have recently listened to some of the gogos music and I thought it was really cool when I was a kid I owned heaven on earth and light on for me I'm such a gen xer but I never would have known that she had it so hard.
Aren't you even going to mention that when she first wanted to be in music she had an extremely short time as a Germ? The short lived punk rock band that collapsed after their lead singer Darby Crash committed suicide by overdosing on heroin. The group also featured Pat Smear, who later played as a guitarist for Nirvana and now currently with the Foo Fighters.
I saw her for the 1st time outside the videos that made her famous, on the Tonight Show W/Johny Carson, and Johny was so frustrated interviewing her because she seemed so closed off to his questions, and she was so dull!!! I knew something was not right with her. So I'd just pop another beer to chase my 151 Bacardi rum, 😝 yum!!!!
And people who are struggling to make ends meet DON'T HAVE THE LUXURY TO CRY, COMPLAIN, OR MOAN about their addictions, lost love, complain about their perverse children turning gay. They're TO BUSY tryna work all the time just to put food on the table and keep from being evicted.
All of these so called "celebrities" Whom love to talk about their stupid addiction$, just because they couldn't HANDLE life'S simple problems. Made me sick , I had a Terrible childhood and never did I turned to drugs or alcohol !!!. #cowards 🇺🇲💋
What do you think of Belinda Carlisle's career?
She’s a great artist
@Karl with a K very brief, only half a century.
shes beautiful😘

She should have continued
I wouldn't call this tragic just a very relatable life story. She's persevered and come out strong. She's a true survivor who turned her life around and gave us some iconic 80's music! Belinda still ROCKS and is a beautiful soul! 🥰
Plenty of women would switch place with her.
Exactly.
Relatable,well said
nah, I just see a giant mess of a person!
I see a beautiful person who got over some very bad problems and should be admired for it rather than getting some mild criticism.
I got to see the GoGo's, I think in 1980. Trust me Belinda, you weren't the only one there that was trashed. I liked your music then and still do.

Jane weidlen
Keep up the great work. I have 5 years and 5 months. My brother died 7 months ago, and I almost gave in. I'm thankful I was strong enough to say no.
Thank you. I always loved your music
Wonderful family!!
My 80’s crush. She was absolutely beautiful and so talented.
One day you'll see all you celeb crushes were of men, including Belinda...
I've always loved her voice. Something about it is so striking to me.
Pretty normal life for an 80s female pop star really. The most tragic part is probably the lone gay son. Her baby daddy must feel like sheet.
I am one of the original fans of Belinda and the Go Go's. OMG ............ the 80's would not have been the same without the Go Go's.

Same, totally agree, the Go Go's were the best
I wouldn’t say tragic. I would say her story is inspirational. She is literally an icon and soaring through sobriety and a supportive husband and son.
Heaven is a Place on Earth is my favorite song. I'm a 53 y/o male and she has been my crush since 1987. She is so beautiful.
Ouuuuu HEAVEN is a place on EARTH! Dang! I never get tired of that song!
Love it to but it's male.
I saw her live 4 nights ago in Sydney!!!
It was sooo good, and sooo much fun!!!
She still looks amazing!!!
Hearing all of this, I actually have so much more admiration for her. Not only is she incredibly beautiful, talented, and successful... but she's strong and has tenacity to keep pushing forward. Even when things were really hard, she never gave up. Hang in there, Belinda!

@@karlwithak. you need a life
@karlwithak. Was it perfectly normal for a child born in 1958 and raised through the 60's?
There are many musicians who couldn't stand working with Carlisle due to her condescension and rudeness to everyone around her.
@@Littlebigbotshe was my former boss and I can say that she is a nice person.
I had no idea that she came from such a humble background. She's a survivor and inspiration.
Being a Buddhist helps.

Such a great story. Very visual since I know the exact Belinda dance you’re talking about
She was and is shockingly beautiful and talented. I just assumed that she was a happy person, sad to find out that was not the case.
Thank you Belinda for sharing your experience, strength and hope with us all. You are part of my story when I share.
She still looks amazing.
She looks like a younger version of Priscilla Presley. From Ms. Harper Stacey.
I knew her back in the day, she was beautiful but her face has had work done (when she was still young btw, now she has the standard stuff done recently clearly.)
She is an incredible woman - she is flawed and imperfect and struggled but is a good person who did her best and her son is a testament to how amazing she did with the hand she was dealt.
Belinda has one of the best voices ever. ❤
Not 'tragic'. She is living her best life now.

Great Voice, Great Band, Great Hits, Great Times! Real Deal🔆
I Love her Songs and her Voice. The Songs have been with me for half my life. I still have all the records and it stays that way!
To whoever told her she wasn't good enough, she has just about the sexiest voice in rock history.
I love Belinda Carlisle. So beautiful and talented. ❤
Saw them in concert in the eighties. Love them and her!!
Saw Belinda in concert 4 nights ago in Sydney, and it was sooo good, and so much fun!!!
I had an AMAZING time!!!
😊😊😊😊😊
She even sang Our Lips Are Sealed.
Belinda was my generations Ann Margaret. She was and still is breathtakingly beautiful and a great voice who always was mesmerizing.
I get notices for this thread. My comment was deleted. This was my exact comment. WTF?!
I liked Belinda when she was part of The Go Go’s.

One thing - we were all kids of the 80s, no regrets 🙂
she's a queen i love her
I was hoping there would be some mention of her love of traveling as she has lived in southern France, Bangkok, and now Mexico City.
Also spent/spends a lot of time in India.
Interesting
Always love her music 🎵
Beautiful Woman with the voice of an angel 💎🔮💎🔮💎

Having said that, Belinda and the "Go Go's" played an integral part of popular music/culture in the 80's, certainty one of my favorites-
Carlisle was an icon.
Hi Angela💐💐
I was head over heels for Belinda!
Good for her it's nice to hear that she staying on the right path
Sigh…had a crush on her for yeeeears. I was a little boy when the Go-gos hit, and I remember feeling all red faced when she was onscreen- her and Debbie Gibson lmao 😂! In retrospect, the blonde guitarist from gogos is honestly the hottest one, I feel- and the drummer, but the drummer because she just rips as a musician and seems tough as nails. They all seem pretty damn cool, too. They set my standard for the kinda gal I would grow up to want.❤
PS- To be fair, Jane, the super tiny other guitarist, wrote most of the songs. She also must sleep in a cryo coffin, because she looks and sounds almost exactly the same as she did like 40 years ago…🎉You Go-Go, Grrrrl!!!

Jane is also a professional dominatrix (spelling?) LOL She loves her whips & chains!!
@@TinkerHell04 you know, I do think I had seen that, but kind of pushed it into the back files of my brain. That’s too funny!
Yep big crush on Belinda too.
@@deadinthewater218 haha, see? Great minds think alike.
Absolute queen
You have an irresistible sense of sarcasm and dark humor! 🤣🤣🤣🤣
uh?@@stevabobic
@@andrefelixdiaz Ignore this troll, he obviously dislikes Belinda, but seems obsessed with her. I been seeing his comments over the years on anything related to her or her former band. Always trashing her looks and her voice.
I think she’s beautiful
I really don't like seeing that Belinda was compared to Madonna. No way... Belinda was much more grounded and 'real' than Madonna.
I read somewhere that she was only married once and is still with that husband. He was in her videos. I love her❤❤❤
I never knew any of this 😮
I remember her from the 80s and being probably the best looking woman ive ever seen in my life.
Its difficult to accept that such a beautiful woman thought so lowly of herself and had a drug habit 🤔 i mean it doesnt make sense, the girl can sing, she was/is utterly beautiful where a runway model would be jealous of how good she looked compared to them.
This lady had it all, if youre looking for top tier femininity Belinda ticked every box.
Hope shes feeling better either way, she touched a lot of people with her music.
I love background music that is so loud you cant hear the narration. Smooth move.
I had such a crush on her as a boy back in the 80s😅Feels so weird to say now... But yeah I likes her music too..(solo not so much as 'GoGo') 😅
Me too, she was Hot.
Nothing weird about that at all ..
She's put out some good pop tracks and is totally gorgeous.
Beautiful lady that has gone through tuff times. She is talented, gorgeous and strong!!
Hi Cinthia💐💐
“Heaven is a place on earth” is my favorite song by her.
Mine was “Circle in the Sand”💜🎶🎤💃➰💯👍🕺
Amazing how she kept it a secret so long. You just couldn't see by her looks.
My hugest crush, my hero, as a hetero male, since 1984.
Mirá ésa foto! Hermosísima ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
I have recently listened to some of the gogos music and I thought it was really cool when I was a kid I owned heaven on earth and light on for me I'm such a gen xer but I never would have known that she had it so hard.
I'm also a Gen Xer, and I believe she had it hard, but nowhere near as bad as most Gen Xers. Bit, I get it.
I think that the life of the homeless people is more tragic and painful than the life of celebrities and artists
Loved the Go Go's She was soooo cute!
Aren't you even going to mention that when she first wanted to be in music she had an extremely short time as a Germ? The short lived punk rock band that collapsed after their lead singer Darby Crash committed suicide by overdosing on heroin. The group also featured Pat Smear, who later played as a guitarist for Nirvana and now currently with the Foo Fighters.
B.C was my childhpod crush. I love her ever more now.... You're amazing B.C please mary me.
Where's the tragedy? I see hope everywhere.
I saw her for the 1st time outside the videos that made her famous, on the Tonight Show W/Johny Carson, and Johny was so frustrated interviewing her because she seemed so closed off to his questions, and she was so dull!!! I knew something was not right with her. So I'd just pop another beer to chase my 151 Bacardi rum, 😝 yum!!!!
And people who are struggling to make ends meet DON'T HAVE THE LUXURY TO CRY, COMPLAIN, OR MOAN about their addictions, lost love, complain about their perverse children turning gay. They're TO BUSY tryna work all the time just to put food on the table and keep from being evicted.
She was the best and probably never knew it ❤️
I still love her, such an inspiration for me. I'm a yogi now. :)))
I THANK BELINDA CARLISLE IS A AWSOME PERSON MUCH LOVE TO HER
All of these so
called "celebrities"
Whom love to talk about their stupid addiction$, just because they couldn't HANDLE life'S simple problems.
Made me sick , I had a Terrible childhood and never did I turned to drugs or alcohol !!!.
#cowards 🇺🇲💋
