Truth Alert:
Oh how Barbra of me … but anyway…
1. When/why did all of this stuff happen? If they dont collaborate, then Linda can kiss A LOT of things that has made her what she is boodbye!
Not so true. As well as the speculation that Linda and Frank don’t speak. Of course they do. They have a child. Linda has publicaly stated that both parties did everything they could to avoid this and they remain good friends. As to her work, she has also stated that though Frank has done some incredible work there are so many other composers and lyricists out there that branching into new material (for her) is a must.
2. No, Frank can kiss a lot of things that made HIM what he is goodbye!
Possibly true (wink wink)
3. True. But will it be hard for her to find some ppl to work on hercds, providing she has any more?
Not true at all. There is a record contract with a new label which shall remain nameless for the moment at Linda’s request. With the recent breakup of Atlantic into smaller groupings the theatrical side of the label saw a significant loss of artistry. Fortunately, many of the former Atlantic team members that Linda worked with are available to her again through the new label.
3. I wonder who she will begin dating? She seems to have a very close relationship with her band / orchestra director.
Jeremy Roberts (Linda’s musical director and pianist) is married to a beautiful woman Deborah and a recent first time father. They are very close – they have worked together over 18 years.
4. Linda Eder's talent has nothing to do with Frank Wildhorn's
Correct. Frank was no where around when Linda Eder won 13 straight weeks on Star Search. Jeremy however, was.
5. Once she seperated from Frank, the theaterworld heard a lot more about her. She started doing a lot more concerts and her name came up a lot more. Despite the fact that he launched her career, it seems as though he has been holding her back.
I agree that Linda needed to breach from Frank musically though I will not make comment or speculation on their personal separation. She did not start doing a lot more concerts. The list has always been around 52 a year. She avoids more in an effort to ensure time with her family, particularly her son.
5. Jon~ I respect what you are saying...and yes people in the lime light are like magnets. When good and not so good things happen fans feel they need to chat about it. But are there limits ?
Yes. And I quote … “I have had enough of fame to realize that I don’t want it”. Recently I told Linda that we could probably take her out for a Karaoke show and sneak her into a rotation of all of us doing her songs and visually she would probably not even be recognized! However, once she started singing … She thought it would be fun, but might take a few drinks to get up the courage. LOL That made me laugh. But, my point is Linda is a very private person, and it is hard for her to have her personal life made so public. But she’s also a big girl who never needs hand holding from my experience and understands that people will talk. She has chosen a limited level of fame.
6. Linda is recording a new CD? Any idea as to when it will be out? It's been almost 2 years since she had a new one. She's so cool.
Yes. And per Linda, it’s to be a tribute CD to an unnamed individual at this point. No one knows the details of this CD and no one will until Linda herself decides to make the announcement.
7. Frank is making it kind of public being as he isn't even devorced from Linda yet and already parading his new girlfriend (who i think is no where near as pretty as Linda) around town.
I’m not touching this with a ten foot poll. But if I were … I would confess that my opinion of Frank has not increased favorably as a result of his actions. Nuff said.
Today is Linda’s birthday by the way.
