The Corrs made hits with Radio and Breathless, and after that, we heard nothing of the Irish band. But the three beautiful sisters and their brother are back with a new album: Borrowed heaven. Backup talked with the lead singer Andrea and the drummer Caroline in London.
What have you done for the last years? It was so quiet?
What kind of image do you think The Corrs have?
Caroline: A real clean image. I think people see us as an impeccalbe Irish family. Sometimes, they would be somewhat confused, because we make popsong ánd rocksongs.
Andrea: We don?t care much about our image, as long as the music makes people happy. That would be nice.
Where was your last argument about?
Andrea: Oh, I don?t remember anymore. Our arguments are mostly about what songs should be on the album, and how the cover of the cd should look like. But arguments don?t take a long time, we are a little too old for that.
Caroline: As we really stuck on arguments, we vote about it. When two of us vote against, our manager makes the decision.
You are away for a weekend. Who will take care of your cats?
Andrea: At least not Jim. He will put them in the washing machine, or something. I will ask Sharon.
Caroline: Yeah, they will die by Jim. I choose Sharon as well.
You have a secret. Whom do you tell it to?
Andrea: To Caroline.
Caroline: To Andrea. We are close of age, and spent a lot of time together when we were young.
You will go on a relaxed holiday. Who do you go with?
Andrea: I can go with all three on holidays, but it wouldn?t be relaxed with Jim. I would need another holiday to recover. So, I will go with Sharon or with Caroline.
Caroline: With Andrea.
You will go out for a vehement night. Who do you take?
Andrea: Sharon or Jim. Caroline has a baby, so she doesn?t go out that much anymore.
Caroline: That?s not true! We go with all of us. We all are good in going out.
Who would you like to walk the marathon with?
Andrea: With Caroline.
Caroline: With Andrea. We have walked a marathon before, and that was great.
You want to shop. Who do you take?
Andrea: I go with Caroline. She really needs help with choosing clothes.
Caroline: Yeah, if you let me shop alone, I certainly will come back with the wrong clothes. The colours won?t match etcetera. I really need a stylist.
Who will get your down to earth when you are upset?
Andrea: That?s Caroline. She is really good at it. We are like twins sometime. There?s a kind of telepathic connection between us.
What do you think of Idols?
Andrea: I don?t like the programm. It is cheap amusement, at the cost of the feelings of the youth. They have a dream, and are laughed out by the whole country, because they have big ears or sing out of key.
Caroline: I have never seen real talent on Idols. Real artists have charism, by Idols, everyone is the same. But I do like Will Young. He was the only one in the show who didn?t irritated me.
Andrea: Candidates do too difficult things with their voices. Like Christina Aguilera. I never do that. I think I will never win a singing contest.
Andrea, you have played a small role in the movie Evita, and last year in ?The boys from county Clare?. Do you have more movieplans?
Andrea: Yeah, I certainly would like to act more. But then, I will play very good characters. Rolls like Elisabeth Taylor in ?Who?s afraid of Virginia Woolf? or Vivien Leigh in ?Gone with the wind?. I love movies as an art. They need to have a good script.

About Jim:
Andrea: Jim is a real party animal. He is really funny, sensitive, social and trustable. He is technical as well, he loves gadgets. As a child he was fascinated by helicopters, and now he flies himself in a heli.
About Sharon:
Andrea: Sharon is a strong woman. Maybe she looks tough, but she is really sensitive and polite. She?s a good listener. And when you need advice how to install your house: Sharon is the person. She is really good in house architecture.
About Andrea:
Caroline: You can have a lot of fun with Andrea. Beside that, she is really artistic. She makes music, she?s good at drawing, and is acting at the moment. But she is chotic, she loses things a lot. Further, her cell phone is always off. She is complete unreachable.
About Caroline:
Andrea: Caroline has a brilliant brain. She has an opinion about everything, but she sees the things a bit too much black-wite. She is really protective and caring. She is strong as well, and therefore she has trouble sometimes to show her emotions.
