[edit] LGBT Project

Is she a lesbian or bisexual? I've heard both applied to her. Is she a lesbian or bisexual? I've heard both applied to her.

And what news shall we provide. One, the other, both or none at all.

Then you would have read it too: both, one, the other or none at all.

I do not give a lot for that, as you might venture... who does.--Psycho Chicken 10:54, 4 September 2005 (UTC)

why is asexual never listed in the LGBT option list?

Why is she part of LGBTProject? Has she been outspoken about LGBT issues? Wouldn't that be unsourced or poorly sourced? --Knulclunk 06:23, 23 June 2007 (UTC)

I've no idea why she's in the LGBT project, since she clearly regards her sexuality as her own business, and has never come out, AFAIK. It is therefore - as you say - completely unsourced speculation. If she chooses not to define herself by her sexuality, then I think her fans should respect that.--Dogbertd 10:35, 23 June 2007 (UTC)

She is a closet case, no matter what her sexuality is. The fact of the matter is she seems to be about her music and that's it. I would define her as a one sided person. I LOVE her music and musicianship and that's it.Teladria (talk) 05:49, 14 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] celebrity fan

Way back in nineteen eighty dot I remember Rob Mortimer, as he was then known, at a couple of parties in Middlesbrough raving about how good Joan Armatrading was. I wonder which other celebrity fans she has.

[edit] Guest spot

Should some mention be made of her guest spot on Queen's 1986 A Kind Of Magic album? She sang some vocals on "Don't Lose Your Head".

[edit] Merger

Merge since the song doesnt merit a separate article and is unsourced. Theforc3 17:34, 15 February 2007 (UTC)

Merge -- there's not enough in this for a separate article Hypnopomp 11:42, 27 March 2007 (UTC)

• Merge - I think this main article should be improved before spawning sub-articles. As it is, this article is rated as a stub. Perhaps with the inclusion of more material on individual songs we might raise that to GA (Good Article) status.--Dogbertd 19:14, 1 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Chronology

The chronology makes no sense: she was born in 1950, but moved with her family to Birmingham in 1947? Can onyone get the facts and change this?--Dogbertd (talk) 08:51, 25 February 2008 (UTC)
