The only review that matters, delivered when the artist can't read it.
means A speech or piece of writing that praises someone, especially one given at a funeral to honor a person who has died.
from From Greek 'eulogia,' meaning 'praise' or 'good words' — literally 'eu-' (well, good) plus 'logos' (word, speech). It came into English in the 15th century, partly tangled up along the way with the Latin 'elogium' (an inscription on a tomb), which is why the word leans so naturally toward the graveside.
