EVENING HERALD, DUBLIN / 27. July 2000

 

?Ich are so tired the envious person?

Everyone loves Michael Flatley? except the Irish. Liz Ryan spoke with it in Berlin and found it insulted by our constant, envious person-filled Noergeleien.

The dawn pulls up, and 15,000 citizens of Berlin rev up. Calling, ramming and whistling they give Michael Flatley standing Ovations, which once really gave again its best.

Five years beforehand I belonged myself to the few, not to the standing the Ovations for?Riverdance? had taken part, but this evening simply no other selection remains for me. does OF Flames?Feet? is a spectacular, absolutely fantastische Show. And this is the almost last Show; after on coming Saturday in Belfast the final took place, the flames will go out, and the 43jaehrige Michael Flatley will turn to other projects, a film, an individual Show in talks Square on invitation of the Russians, a further in astrodomes in Houston.

In this instant it is weldingbathed however and breathes heavily, suns themselves however in the admiration, which it assign becomes. The currents of sweat show, how heavily it must operate for it. But the adrenalin helps it thereby as it says: loves it, the life could be not at all more beautiful?

Politeness

It grinst like a boy, who became even class-best, and an inside?Click? says to me: I like this Bur. Apart from it that he is friendly, polite and cooperative, it also hardest operating humans, whom I met ever, is fully overflowing energy, disciplined, a singular, even erschaffener success.

According to my opinion he earns everything that he has. But why it draws such criticism on itself? Why brabbeln the people, if I them legend that I meet it, immediately any negative remarks? white it? he?ich white only does not groan that this occurs only in Ireland, many fewer in England. That is very painful, and I am tired it soooo? But Flatley, which Ireland seems to mean so much, lives not here.

It has the rosy enthusiasm of a man, whose parents of Irish descent are, it is however in Chicago born and lives in Southern France. He is American, and the Americans love success? whereas in Ireland success causes only envy, Zynismus, criticism and resentment. It is before a mystery and is disconcerted, amazingly thinmembranous for a former boxer.

Here it is to be created well-known as a) the Emporkoemmling, which dared it, with the?Riverdance? producers Doherty and McColgan and b) the man, who had more women than warm meals. Too?Riverdance? does it only state that it?kategorisch? from itself points Jean Butler of the point to have driven out. Regarding its call of unersaettlicher Sexgier he says: is everything, about what they think. They seem to come around not much?

Sex

It is maintained, it must have?innerhalb one hour after the Show Sex?. If is correct, then much luck. Its Buehnenshow is so electrifying that one hurries better, in order to have thereafter even Sex.

In the meantime it has still another another call, which admits however only with those is, which operate with it: This is almost singular in the Showbusiness, but he treats its colleagues (if they its requirements of total professionalism correspond) with Ehrerbietung, is basichonest in cash things and pays its calculations immediately? but that is not a characteristic, which is in such a way in the headlines, like its private life.

But, all-powerful God, how long a 43Jaehriger knows still this speed maintained?

At the end of the Show are alone by stampfen on the soil rotated muscles of my thighs like brezel, how then only its must look?

Daemon

He had trained various violations and like a devil, in order to fight against the inevitable fact, to which it does not want to place itself; Are if his life and dance to the fate once to bend to have, is no pleasant prospect. He diverts from questions over the future, lives in the present, and if it is that, which counts for him, then is it correct. With 60   millions   English Pound in the bag it does not need to make itself with a retreat from the Showbusiness concerns. However do those understand themselves, at its?Arroganz? not, do what push? a balancing act of the self-assurance it is to go outside on the stage and to inspire 15,000 completely other humans.

Self-assurance is there indispensable, and it reminds me of Freddy Mercury, which was famous also for it, to produce itself and herumzutaenzeln, the one great relation to its public too had.

Like Mercury, then also Flatley has a bad sense for humor, with winking that laughter, with uebermuetiger irony. It does not only dance, but plays also transverse flute, with lungs, which are apparent from steel.

But how it is it at all possible to see the spectators in the enormous arenas if it thront so highly over them and in such? swindle-exciting speed on the stage whirls? Do you believe me, I see the pretty small Blondinen!? It is in great tendency, and we laugh much, nevertheless, how I determine later together with another journalist (from Belfast), surround Michael a certain sadness.

Isolation

On tour to be, a lonely life means, and wehmuetig it gives too?ich dear Beata (its Exfrau) still?. Both emotional and physically he paid an astronomical price for his fame and his millions.

But it does not stop giving in more than one regard. Many later, in its hotel, after he is escaped from the quantity of the waiting fans, it saunters into the bar and studies the wine supply. greatly, there are Chateau Latour.? I am much too busy, in order to possibly register something else, than that this is a very good wine, now discover I to my large frightening that I even? at its expense? 1,000   English Pound in the form of three took glaesern wine to me.

 

Kindness

Jesus! But it speaks about how great its violinists were, and he could not be more genuegsamer, more generous or kinder.

Self-confidently? Arrogantly? Will Ireland ever give time to this man to come to the peace? With does OF Flames?Feet? the additions easily still another one week could anyhow have continued.

Why, to the devil, is board Failte, Guinness, air Lingus etc. not ready, this hochkaraetigen, sexy, of merry, romantic, marvelously packed case Ireland too sponsorn? hoped for it, therefore we addressed some from them? say its advisor, more?aber them were not interested?

 

Vergoetterung

Correctly. It is too unfortunate that they did not visit Flatley?s fan Websites? world-wide Vergoetterung? or the 15,000 citizens of Berlin saw, who flowed this evening out of the arena. Perhaps but answer that the question, why the final takes place on Saturday in Belfast, and not in Dublin. Oh, for record-interested: The Houston of astrodomes offers workstation for 60.000 spectators, talks to Square even for 250.000.
