… Read Full Bio ↴There are at least four different artists who recorded under this name:
1. Sylvia Jane Hutton Kirby (born December 9, 1956), also known mononymously as Sylvia, is an American country music and country pop singer and songwriter. Her biggest hit (a crossover chart topper), was her single "Nobody" in 1982. It reached number 15 on the Billboard Hot 100, number 5 on the Billboard Adult Contemporary chart, number 9 on the Cashbox Top 100, and number 1 on the Billboard Country Singles chart. The song earned her a gold record certification and a Grammy Award nomination for Best Female Country Vocal Performance. Her other country chart hits include "Drifter" (number one in 1981), "Fallin' in Love", "Tumbleweed" and "Snapshot". She was named Female Vocalist of the Year by the Academy of Country Music for 1982. She is also credited with making the first "concept" music video clip to air on Country Music Television (CMT), with "The Matador".
When her contract with RCA ended, Sylvia took a break from touring and recording to focus on developing as a songwriter. In 1988 and 1989, she guest-hosted TNN's Crook and Chase show and her own Holiday Gourmet cooking special. Sylvia's first independent album, The Real Story, was released in 1996 on her own label, Red Pony Records. In a May 1998 People magazine review, Ralph Novak wrote, "Sylvia always sang with more intensity and resonance than most country singers... and she can still sing a story song better than almost anyone around."
In 2002, she followed with Where in the World, a set that marked the culmination of an 11-year musical collaboration with John Mock. Songwriter Craig Bickhardt contributed the song "Crazy Nightingale". Bickhardt had previously performed with Sylvia from 1984, and wrote the title cut to One Step Closer. Also in 2002, Sylvia released, A Cradle in Bethlehem, her first Christmas album. In 2016, the album, It's All in the Family, was released on Red Pony Records. In 2018, Sylvia released Second Bloom: The Hits Re-Imagined, an album of some of her hits she re-recorded with a more acoustic yet fully produced approach and, in 2022, Sylvia's new album, Nature Child: A Dreamer's Journey, was released on February 22.
2. Sylvia Robinson Vanderpool (May 29, 1935 – September 29, 2011), known mononymously as Sylvia, was an American singer, record producer, and record label executive. Robinson achieved success as a performer on two R&B chart toppers: as half of Mickey & Sylvia with the 1957 single "Love Is Strange", and her solo record "Pillow Talk" (1973). She later became known for her work as founder and CEO of the hip hop label Sugar Hill Records.
Robinson is credited as the driving force behind two landmark singles in the hip hop genre: "Rapper's Delight" (1979) by the Sugarhill Gang, and "The Message" (1982) by Grandmaster Flash and the Furious Five, both of which she produced. At the 11th Annual Rhythm and Blues Awards Gala in 2000, she received a Pioneer Award for her career in singing and for founding Sugarhill Records. Several publications have dubbed her the "Mother of Hip Hop". In 2022, she was posthumously inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in the Ahmet Ertegun Award category for being a major influence on the creative development of hip-hop's early successes, and is the first woman to receive the award unaccompanied by another person.
3. Sylvia Vrethammar is a popular vocalist from Sweden who made a big success with an English version of "Y Viva España".
4. Sylvia is also a black/thrash metal band from somewhere around Portland, Oregon, United States. Their current line up is Candy, Andrew, Sean and Reuben. They released a demo entitled 'Lizard Birdman', which is available on their Bandcamp website.
5. Sylvia was a progressive experimental band from Southern California. The band consisted of lead singer, guitarist, songwriter and producer Riz Story, drummer Taylor Hawkins (Foo Fighters), guitarist Sean Murphy and Jon "Juano" Davison (Yes), and dissolved when Hawkins joined Alanis Morissette's band. This led to Story's formation of Anyone in 1995.
6. Sylvia is also the name of a northern soul singer ('It's A Good Life', 1968), possibly the same singer as the one listed as #1 (?).
No News Is Good News
Sylvia Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
But you turn away
I know there's no good news
In what you might say
I couldn't stand to hear it
So let well enough be, oh
Your silence is golden
'Cause I know no news is good news
With each word you don't say
Silence is golden
At least for today
No news is good news
With each word you don't say
No news is good news
As long as you stay
Haven't heard a loving word
From you in a while
I don't see that look of love
That was once in your smile
I know you're unhappy
And you can't tell me why
But at least for the moment
You haven't told me goodbye
Don't say goodbye
'Cause I know, no news is good news
With each word you don't say
Silence is golden
At least for today
No news is good news
With each word you don't say
No news is good news
As long as you stay
The lyrics to Sylvia's Song "No News Is Good News" is a song about a couple that is going through a difficult time, and there seems to be no good news in what the other person might say. The singer turns to her partner every night, but he turns away, refusing to communicate with her. She knows that her partner is unhappy, but she can't seem to get him to tell her what is going on with him. Nonetheless, she finds solace in the fact that his silence is golden at least for the moment.
The song's lyrics suggest that sometimes, no news is good news, and it is okay to let well enough be, especially when it comes to matters of the heart. The lyrics express that the singer values her partner's silence more than his hurtful words or even his lack of attention. She seems to believe that as long as he stays, she can still find joy in their relationship, even if there's no immediate resolution to their challenges.
Overall, the song's message is one of hopeful resignation. The singer is not giving up on her relationship, but rather, accepting that sometimes it's better to leave things unsaid. The use of the phrase "no news is good news" is a reminder that sometimes the absence of negativity is good enough.

Randy Sledge
we notice few stuff when Ryan was voicing out his concern.
She dun seems to be aware or listening, she was smiling from the start, could be texting (maybe to her ahem the CEO of a courier service for maybe another kind of "service")
Shifting focus away when the critics is on her.
Then when Ryan speaks again she using her phone again then when she focus back to the zoom, her tongue "mysteriously stick out for no reason" then she start smoking like she dun care judging her expression, we can hear some moaning or some yawning sound effects coming from her to literally try to interrupt Ryan's speaking.
To show respect or being a leader who lead to success only comes into the fundamental point, you listen and acknowledge the real issues from ur colleagues. Interrupting using this tactics seems to her everything is a joke to her, imagine how painful trying to explain to her and she pretending to be empress dowager impression.
Which is why many of her disgusting behaviour being leaked online again and again including the ones not supposingly to hear.
People who u love, people who u work with are ur mirror in ur life. When u mistreat them just get prepared to face the consequences. Just rmb not all will stay quiet abt it.
With all her rude behavior, she comes a long way to reflect this upon herself.
Her career is ruined even she still in NOC, the company will suffer even more.
even having hard time moving on to the future.
So whats the lesson we taught. Don't be an asshole. be positive and nice towards others so that the u get positive from people instead.

I absolutely despise her attitude. This will be her reason for her inevitable downfall. I don’t think any apology can justify these actions because no matter what, she is projecting herself in a childish light IN FRONT OF PEOPLE WHO TRUST HER AND LOOK UP TO HER, and it fucking disgusts me
As someone who used to have this attitude, I’ve learnt that it does nothing good. It’s just a way of telling and lying to yourself that “you’ve done nothing wrong”. ITS JUST DECEIVING YOURSELF. As a grown woman, she should really show more maturity in her actions, and maybe take accountability for them. Apologise if you didn’t mean it, and if you need mean it (which I’m pretty sure she did), then just be frank and say sorry instead of showing that you “DONT GIVE A FUCK”. Because at the end of the day, you are just LYING TO YOURSELF. Everyone sees through your façade and it’s going to do nothing for your already plummeting reputation.

old comment but ryan is the problem he liked the girls and sylvia got mad, ryan treated her like shit and cheated on her throughout the relationship
Admin Admin
She left her things behind to hoodwink him to contact her back. Ryan got cheated before marriage to be closer to her.

@ericcvivae but cheating does affect anyone except for the people who are involved in the relationship. Having an affair does not affect your employee.
ericcvivae
@californiacatingyes it does because he did it with her bestfriends

"Why leaving office at 7pm is a sign of laziness? ". That sentence is so true. Sadly alot of bad bosses think that we have no life, no family and just wake up everyday and work till we die.
