Review of JB's Another Side :

Pure, pure, undiluted cheese. I can't stop giggling half the time.

Standouts, or at least ones I wish to comment on :

Time after Time? I cannot ever form a coherent reasoned response for any version of this song. Damn you, Cyndi Lauper. Also Baz Luhrmann. Combined with JB on vocals... :happy sigh:

I take back my first impression of Every Little Thing She Does is Magic. Oh all right, the subtle mariachi beat works and JB has been promoted to the ranks of people who're allowed to sing it aside from Sting and The Magnets.

Your Song - JB can sing better than Ewan Macgregor and Elton John. thppppbbbt.

Heaven - oh, Bryan Adams. may your ballads always be cheese-filled. Though it's very odd hearing it sung with a nice voice.

Being Alive - :narrows eyes at John: *Not* your best effort, sweetheart. You can do it far better than this. Far too smooth.

Feeling Good - squee! We'd only had the Royal Variety version of this available previously. Doesn't quite have the cool factor of the other one (more strings and smoother orchestration in this one), but still oh-so-good.

I agree that 'Being Alive' isn't his best effort. Why can he not record a good version of that song? But I like 'Our Song' and (godhelpme) 'All By Myself' and 'She's Always A Woman'.

The cheese factor is off the scale, though.

I think it's something to do with the studio presence. The one from Company at the Kennedy center? gorgeous. anything on a legal album? okay but not great. Maybe he needs a stage to do it properly. As one person on the list pointed out, his lottery performance is lovely, but it's bloody obvious he sparks more on children in need and strictly since he's in front of an audience. (or like De-lovely, where he's singing *at* someone)

Tickets arrived into my grubby little mitts on saturday. mwhahahhaha.
