  Open House
Jean is 24 and was teaching in a performing arts school in Cork before entering the 'You're A Star' competition.
Jean admits that she wouldn't have been very good or adventurous with make-up but she did pick up a couple of tips when getting ready for the competition.
All these tips should be very useful to Jean as she has started to model a bit as well as singing, she can be seen in the new Arnotts magazine, out at the end of this month.

She is famous as the author of 'The Flowers of the Forest', a ballad lamenting the Scottish defeat by the English at Flodden, when James IV was killed.
Jean Elliot was the third daughter of Sir Gilbert Elliot of Minto House, Teviotdale.
Jean's eldest brother was also a song-writer, and while they were out riding in a coach he laid a bet of 'a pair of gloves or a set of ribbons' that she could not write a successful ballad about the battle of Flodden.

 SPLICEDwire | "Billy Elliot" review (2000)   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-05)
The backdrop for "Billy Elliot" is familiar: A haggard blue-collar English community, struggling under the conservative, anti-labor regime of Margaret Thatcher.
She's a worldly little girl who calls her mom "sexually unfulfilled." They walk to school together, dragging sticks along a brick wall, then across the plexiglas shields of the riot policemen gathered on the streets to quell any flare-ups by the town's striking miners.
In the last act, "Billy Elliot" succumbs somewhat to its inborn mushiness, especially when Billy bonds with his ambiguously gay best friend, elbowed into the story to forcibly demonstrate the hero's open-mindedness.

 Billy Elliot (2000)   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-05)
To say that Billy Elliot is the best movie of 2000 is to damn it with faint praise, since this year's crop is pretty uninspiring.
All such excesses are avoided in Billy Elliot, where the characters develop in a totally believable way, where Billy invites admiration instead of pity, and where the silences, looks and gestures all leave so much to the imagination.
Billy Elliot is far more subtle, though the emotional moments are all the more powerful because of that.

 Billy Elliot (2000): Jamie Bell, Gary Lewis, Jean Heywood, Julie Walters - PopMatters Film Review
What interests me about Billy Elliot is that beyond chronicling a series of life-changing events in a boy's life, the film shapes that boy and his experiences as a representation of things lost to the adults surrounding him.
The title character of Billy Elliot is, in 1984, an 11-year-old boy whose mother recently died of cancer.
As deeply entrenched as they are in their perceived codes of manliness (hardworking, fearless, just, strong, forceful), it's no wonder that a son and brother who trades in his boxing gloves for ballet slippers would be more than a little troubling for Dad and Tony.

 The Flowers of the Forest - feature article in the Living Tradition magazine
Jean (or sometimes 'Jane') was born in 1727, the third daughter of Sir Gilbert Elliot of Minto.
Her song has a theme that still engages people today (a theme that's universal and yet expresses the private grief of one small nation) in a way that the ruination of some minor gentry never could.
Jean Elliot went to her grave on March 29th 1805, not knowing what she had bequeathed - but she could hardly have had a better epitaph than that she had penned that that single superlative song:

Clark recalls meeting child-star Michael and realizing he had a natural drive to be in charge, underscored by Jackson's decision to push "Ben" (technically a ballad sung to a rat from the movie Ben) as a single.

The setting is County Durham in 1984, and things 'oop North are even grimmer than usual: the miners' strike is in full rancorous swing and 11-year-old Billy's dad and older brother, miners both, are staunch on the picket lines.
I saw Billy Elliot for the first time when I was quite young, and didn't understand the numerous complex issues involved in the story.
When I saw it again several years later, I was moved to tears by several of the scenes, and found it one of the most sensitive, witty, blunt and beautiful films I have ever seen.

 Billy Elliot - Movie Review
After all, when a lad from a northern British mining town forsakes his granddad's boxing gloves for a pair of satiny ballet slippers, it's more than the neighbors and townsfolk can comprehend and, therefore, inherently good cinematic drama.
Beyond the fact that the whole coal-miner's-kid-has-talent-and-big-dreams genre has been horrifically overdone from the earliest days of English-language narrative, Billy Elliot (aka Dancer) is actually a treat to watch.
Ultimately, though, Billy Elliot is a funny, charming movie.
