In my opinion,Annie Lennox and Freddie Mercury are the two best vocalists in the world,hands down.This was a very interesting story,and its so nice to see her.
Her "deductions" are terribly dull. These people are given a rare glimpse into the lives of their ancestors, and they ruin it by being unable to set aside their modern sensibilities for a few minutes.
She is truly amazing. She and Joss Stone are the only folks who could hold their own with The Revernd Al green, because the Man can get a bit Cray Cray on Stage. When Justin Timberlake and he did a Show on Memphis, TN., he knew he had so much work to do. The Scots, Irish, and British have produced some of the best Blue Eyed Soul Singers.
Jessie married after working in a flax mill from the age of 13. She and her husband had 4 sons and she died at age 35 from cancer. Hopefully her family life was stable in the last portion of her life.
It’s too bad they didn’t do “child support” back then or Mary’s child by that man might have had a better life. Of course there wasn’t a way to prove paternity so I guess it wouldn’t have been possible.
Annie is descended from Stewarts and had a relationship with Dave Stewart. Nothing negative, 'Stewart' is probably a huge umbrella, but it's interesting how people with things in common find each other, whatever those things may be.
Despicable then and now... history shows that there is decency shown by wealthy relatives towards so-called illegitimate - Rose was just a horrible man.
And no one is saying what a dush James Rose was to the mother of his daughter! We're not to malign James's good name by saying he possible took advantage of his maid servant! It's simply they had an affair. The baby was born, but the father didn't behave like a gentleman. He chose to keep up appearances by living a lie! He most probably knew about his daughter's condition all along! When it came to a head and the family was going to the poor house, he saved the youngest because she was the most convenient and could be sheltered under the radar while his own daughters would never be put into service! King Edward VIII treated the bed chamber maid with more reverence! I have no respect for him at all!
1) It shows the curse of being born illegitimate 2) James was probably not as wealthy as you think. He did what he could given the confines of the 'system'. But he and his sister were probably just forking out a living as well.
My grandfather told me stories that I/we were related to royalty. 👸🏼Apparently there was a female who renounced the royal throne because she fell in love with a man who was not suitable to marry. Of course I have the RH- blood-type supposedly the royals have but who really knows. Wouldn’t it just be fun to have someone lookup your family tree for you? I would be completely intrigued .
James was probably not wealthy. Middle class, lower class, and even fairly poor people had servants, either living in or coming in to help occasionally.
She likely isn't worried for her own life. Clearly, it's well within reason she is disturbed by the hardship her ancestor had endured. That is if one is compassionate, and she is very much that.
Nobody is asking for anything to be done for them. Just want to know their stories and understand their lives a bit more. Epigenetics also suggests that a person's traumas change their DNA, and those changes are passed down for up to 7 generations, so really you're learning a little something about your own building blocks when you find out about the experiences of your ancestors.
I never get these in the right order, how hard would it be to number the parts of each story!
Word
I totally agree!
Me too
Yes!
So true! I am hooked but i got really confused where is the beginning of their story 😨
I love Annie's voice, presence and personality. One of my favourite artists ever.

People's Front of Canada can add David Bowie to that list too?
@@tessabiggs2917 I wouldn't.I liked him don't get me wrong but he was not in Freddie's league
@@unacceptableviews1505 Freddie and Annie will always share the number one spot.
Please include Moby too:) Porcelan is AMAZING.
Totally agree
Annie is, before a fantastic vocalist, a wonderful human being.. love her ❤
I love Annie's spoken voice as much as her singing voice!
Annie is a legend
I really like the lady who’s with her she seems very sweet
Annie's deductions at the end are powerful. "It's all a very dark Victorian melodrama to me."
Her "deductions" are terribly dull. These people are given a rare glimpse into the lives of their ancestors, and they ruin it by being unable to set aside their modern sensibilities for a few minutes.
I don’t care whether you’re rich or poor, your soul is priceless ~ xxx…
One of my favourite singers very interesting finding her story out of her family
Glad to come across this.
My auntie has done the family tree and I’m related to Annie, my great grandmothers maiden name was Lennox
Hi where do u come from?
Lennox is quite a common surname
@@elizabethbower2168 Suggesting what? Aren't all of our surnames eventually, common?
How fabulous for you. She def. has one of the greatest voices the world has known. 💖💫🦋
I wish these segments were numbered or something they’re all randomly all over the place not good
Love her voice
Same as mine. We are obviously both Scottish & born in the same town.
Why aren't these darned things numbered? Would make it a lot easier to watch them in order if they were.
The divine Miss Annie as Bowie announced her once.
I LOVE Annie Lennox!
She is truly amazing. She and Joss Stone are the only folks who could hold their own with The Revernd Al green, because the Man can get a bit Cray Cray on Stage.

Don't forget the incredible Dusty Springfield.
That poor girl. I hope she found love and a family.

Sometimes the statement the late Leonard Cohen had coined makes sense to much of past...
''The less I was of who I was the better I felt.''
Annie’s speaking voice is actually very nice and pleasant to listen to. It’s soft spoken yet deep yet feminine…with a slight Scottish lilt no less.
It's true what your parents do comes back on You !
I have Stewart crofters in my ancestry too - from about 30 miles from Banff...
Ooh me too. Wonder if we are distant cousins
Poor Mary!
ok I'm lost, I will have to rewatch ..

Ilove you somuch miss

Back then DNA hadn't been invented. His word against hers.
There only 2 comments but it is so good
I’m working class, my Dad was an electrician.
❤️❤️❤️❤️
Thats my childhood home

It’s a very common name. But they were often marrying cousins of some sort in rural Scotland, it was inevitable.

Yeah, it’s too bad he isn’t still alive for all to tell him to his face.

Why not the whole damn story!?
One of the suggested videos in my list for this one is the previous part.

If you click on the little triangle top right side,it will give you all the programs.
I can hear her anger at J Rose & how he treated Mary.
1) It shows the curse of being born illegitimate 2) James was probably not as wealthy as you think. He did what he could given the confines of the 'system'. But he and his sister were probably just forking out a living as well.
I wouldn't think so. A solicitor was grander then than now.With two servants to pay.
Annie looks like my neighbor's mom.
My grandfather told me stories that I/we were related to royalty. 👸🏼Apparently there was a female who renounced the royal throne because she fell in love with a man who was not suitable to marry.

Hi do u have more info?
A load of nonsense.
James was probably not wealthy. Middle class, lower class, and even fairly poor people had servants, either living in or coming in to help occasionally.
I'd rather be a peasant than a toff
My dad always said: “Cast your lot with the common man. You’ll always outnumber your enemies.”
Don’t worry Ann I think your life will work out ok.
She likely isn't worried for her own life. Clearly, it's well within reason she is disturbed by the hardship her ancestor had endured. That is if one is compassionate, and she is very much that.
Annie doesn't seem very impressed with James Rose
Don't worry Anne, They worked it out amongst themselves.
So cruel.
That's crazy and side
Age, have to respect of it, right and wrong, that's your call
Love you Annie, but the Victorian period started in 1837.
It lasted until 1901.
Not 1820 when Victoria took the throne?
And the events she describes as a 'Victorian melodrama' were in the 1850s, so she's got her history right.
So we're not going to acknowledge that Annie Never acknowledge these as her kind people when speaking on the subject.
Deceit and underhandedness
I was sleeping, unconscious when Frazer impregnated me with my son and daughter.
English people are so cold..I’m Hawaiian and Italian and it’s a completely different culture
English?? Annie Lennox is Scottish...
She’s not English...... She’s Scottish.
She is a Celt not Anglo-Saxon!
@@bostonblackie9503All sorts of influences. Did you see a DNA test here?
All this is useless, leave the dead alone; they can't do nothing for you.
