My Take
Belinda Carlisle interests me as a study in reinvention. She came out of the Los Angeles punk scene, helped build the Go-Go's into a landmark all-female band, then pivoted into glossy solo pop without losing her identity — a trick very few singers pull off. That voice has a sunlit California brightness with a faint ache underneath, which is exactly why her hits still land decades later. What I respect most is her persistence: through every high and low, she kept singing. To me she represents pop music's most underrated virtue — the courage to be joyful in public, year after year, and mean it.
