YMMV / The Corrs

Go To

  • Even Better Sequel: Their debut album "Forgiven Not Forgotten" is a great album, it even has their Signature Song. However, their second album "Talk On Corners" is universally acknowledged as their masterpiece.
  • Fan Nickname: Caroline is knows as the "Chick with Stick(s)".
  • First Installment Wins: "Forgiven Not Forgotten" and the original (non-remix version) "Talk On Corners" remain fan-favorites to this day.
  • Funny Moments: The siblings have a good sense of humor, and occasionally poke fun at themselves.
    • Would You Be Happier video. The siblings just can't adopt a different image well enough, and they know it.
    • CITV show SMtv featured the running skit "The Beautiful Corrs" where Ant and Dec, along with co-host Cat Deeley, donned black wigs to portray the sisters talking about how beautiful they are while "Jim" sat beside them with a paper bag over his face to hide how camera-breakingly "ugly" he was. For the final appearance of this gag the impostors were shooed off by the real sisters... who then proceeded to flaunt their beauty. (At least they allow Jim, played by the real Jim, to remove the paper bag... then they make him put it back on.)
    • During one live singing of What Can I Do, Andrea flubbed the last few lines of the song, and promptly improvised with the following line (also doubles as awesome as the improvised line conceivably could work in the context of the song)
      Maybe there's nothing more to say, and I just gotta let it go
      Who knows I might feel better, if I get the words right next time.note 
  • Germans Love David Hasselhoff. Throughout their career, two countries specifically receive special editions and releases not given to other countries. Australia, which could probably be explained due to Australia's long-standing Irish heritage, continued historical and contemporary links between the two countries. And Japan. Good luck finding a reason for them.
  • Harsher in Hindsight: All the jokes made about Jim being kept in the background take a darker turn when you realise that there was good reason why.
  • Older Than They Look: The sisters seem to have aged very little in the ten years between Home and White Light.
  • Overshadowed by Controversy: Jim Corr has become better known nowadays for his Cloudcuckoolander conspiracy theories about 9/11, the War On Terror, and the New World Order than for his contributions to the band.
  • Refrain from Assuming: "Breathless" is often referred to as "Go On" by some.
  • Signature Song: They have two. "Runaway" for those who were into the group before it became mainstream. "Breathless" for those after that song became their breakout hit in the USA.
  • Tear Jerker: "Angel". The song itself is an upbeat but respectful song about mourning someone who is dear and loved... the tear jerker is from why it was written, to celebrate the band's mother, who passed away during the recording of their previous album.
