Lady in Blonde - the most beautiful hit of Chris de Burgh

Daughter Rosanna (19) is the new "Miss Ireland

What a nice rascal. Chris de Burgh always sings about big emotiosns, about 
the big happiness. But he has never shown us the sweet happiness to be a 
father. Stage open for Rosanna.

He gave us the wonderful song "Lady In Red". Now, 17 years later, Chris de 
Burgh has another big success. Again a lady. This time a lady in blonde. It 
is his beautiful daughter Rosanna.

She is 19 years old. She has hazel eyes, long blonde hair and a charming 
smile. 

Rosanna, in a red dress, has just been elected "Miss Ireland 2003". "She 
was completely enthused", says Derek Daniels of "usselsmodels", the 
organizer of the competition. Daddy Chris and Mummy Diane sat cheeringly in 
the audience. Rosanna: "Daddy has calmed me before. He said: You will have 
stage fright. But that is normal."

Proudly the popstar embraces his daughter after the win and kisses her on 
the cheek. 

If he thought about his famous song during this moment? It almost sounds 
as if he had just written it for her back then. He sings: "I have never 
seen you looking so lovely as you did tonight. I've never seen you shine 
so brigth. You are amazing. I've never seen you wearing this dress..."

She studies in the fourth semester

How beautiful does it have to be for Chris de Burgh to see his own daughter 
as a "Lady In Red" on stage?

NEUE REVUE congratulated him shortly before he flew into his holidays with 
Diane, Rosanna and her siblings Hubie (15) and Michael (12). "I am so happy 
and looking forward that Rosie will represent my country at the election of 
'Miss World'", he said on the mobile phone.

His daughter studies sociology and art history at the University College in 
Dublin. She is in her fourth semester. But her heart beats for advertising. 
She would love to draft advertisements for magazines and TV. She just took 
part at the beauty contest out of fun.

And it is so refreshingly honest what the new "Miss Ireland" says about her 
own body: "I have stupidly squeezed my feet into too tight shoes for years. 
Therefore my toes aren't beautiful." Rosanna likes her hands the most. Her 
big Idol is the Hollywood actress Cameron Diaz ("Charlie's Angels).

On December 6, Rosanna will compete at the "Miss World" contest in China. 
Maybe she will become the most beautiful woman in the world.

Well, now at the age of 54 Chris de Burgh can experience how his daughter 
suddenly makes more headlines than himself.
