Best Of The Corrs

                 Andrea is the youngest of the siblings. Born on May 17, 1974, she is just a year younger than our beloved
                 Caroline. Even from childhood, Andrea was found to have an amazing singing voice. She is the most dramatic,
                 but excellent lyricist. Also taught the piano by their father at an early age. Andrea went to the same school as her
                 sisters, the Dun Lughaidh Convent, and was classed as the brainiest of all the siblings. But being the youngest
                 had a little disadvantage for Andrea. She joined the band right after leaving school. Most people say she "missed
                 out" most of her youth. This might explain why Andrea is often shy at interviews, sometimes sitting there silently
                 while her siblings take the questions, and then sheepishly looking lost for words if suddenly the conversation
                 turns to her. But, all is forgiven when she either bursts out laughing or flashes her fantastic smile as she realizes
                 she hasn't been paying full attention. (That's our Andrea!)

                 Andrea has often been voted as Sexiest Woman in Ireland. Well, Andrea's beautiful. right? Admitting to
                 sometimes making a lot out of a simple situation, being an eternal optimist, and, with some reluctance, being the
                 messy one of the family. She is also known to have an overactive imagination. Andrea is very self-critical and
                 very rarely likes her own work. But she doesn't exactly just stop in the middle of a song and says, "Argh! I won't
                 get this right..." she is an optimist, like I said awhile ago, that debates this trait of hers.

                Andrea's worst and most noticeable habit is sucking her thumb, a habit she has had since she was young. When
                the Corrs were in the States towards the end of 1998, someone pulled John Hughes aside and suggested that
                Andrea should get some therapy to try to get her out of the habit. But, Andrea has often been quoted saying that
                she doesn't see it as a problem whatsoever. She also has the habit of losing things, which is why she sees the tin
                whistle as the perfect instrument - they are cheap to replace.

                Andrea got her tin whistle because she asked this man in the pub that her parents usually went to, to teach her
                how to play the flute. In order to learn the flute, you've got to learn the tin whistle. She mastered this instrument
                quickly, and before she got a chance to finish learning the flute, she stopped. But she has mastered the tin whistle
                100%!

                 Andrea is something special, no one could disagree with that statement. Something extraordinary could be seen
                 in Andrea many years ago, when the band was trying so hard to get a record deal. Her irresistible little smiles
                 and cheeky grins, the presence she portrays on stage for one so small, her songwriting and, especially, her lyric
                 writing talents hold no boundaries. These are just a few examples of what makes this lady an amazing woman
                 who will go down in history as one of the greatest females that has ever graced popular music.
