Influences

Is there enough information available to begin an "artists influenced by" section? There are numerous recording artists who have either borrowed from Enya or been influenced by her in some fashion. Arguably the most prominent is Linda Ronstadt, whose 1993 hit, Heartbeats Accelerating, was done in the style of Enya. Of course there was also the soundtrack to Titanic which has been acknowledged as having been heavily influenced by Enya after she turned down the invitation to write it herself (indeed, listen to Enya's "Book of Days" and then listen to "Southampton" from the soundtrack). Nicki Minaj also talked about Enya's influence during a Colbert appearance. 70.73.90.119 (talk) 13:42, 7 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Lack of photograph

There are dozens of pictures of Enya in circulation from the last few decades, including many on her own online presences, but also from concerts (which in most countries are the property of the concert-goer who took them) -- so why is the article of so famous a person still missing even one picture? 91.193.176.234 (talk) 23:49, 1 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

That posted picture of her does not do her justice. I see that she is 61 but come on, there are better pictures of her than the one posted. 50.32.147.41 (talk) 17:47, 13 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

New picture.

The one up now looks terrible. It's blurry and not suitable for the infobox. Just saying. Lorrrrrrrd (talk) 19:28, 14 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Agreed that is not the best, but it's all we have of recent photos of her. The most recent should be in the IB, not something from 35 years ago. GenQuest ^"scribble" 07:13, 15 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, but the it's more clear and it wasn't from 25-30 years ago. Lorrrrrrrd (talk) 23:41, 16 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
