burntcopper | finally bought the Spoonful of Stiles and Drewe concert cd.

I'd forgotten how fucking hysterical the Diva song was (the one that contains the immortal line 'I can't carry a tune in a bucket, but fuck it! I'm on the stage'), and the rest are seriously great. (not to menton the mic balance has been fixed so no-one else is drowning the others out, which was a problem in the theatre) Soho Cinders I want *now*, dammit. It's much better than I remember, the lyrics are really good, and the Ugly Sisters songs are brilliant. Only problem is that Gareth Gates is much, much blander than I remember and comes off worse than he did at the theatre. The songs he's sharing with Oliver Tompsett and Leanne Jones are 'oooo, great singer, zzzzzzzzz'. Pouting that a lot of the first half songs got cut, and the only one Daniel Boys is on that made it is about three lines of the ensemble song 'You Shall Go to the ball'. :sulk: And I hadn't noticed that Julie Atherton was singing 'Wait a Bit' in a ...midlands accent? (shush, it's north of the Watford gap and south of Northumbria, and isn't Sheffield. That's all I can tell).

Also. er. got persuaded to get the self-penned Oliver Tompsett cd. god I'm shallow. But so is everyone else, since it's been selling well.. Showed Ri the cover and she went 'okay, he's wearing clear mascara, right?' Me : 'sadly, no, his eyelashes are just that pretty'. Listening to it now, but it does seem rather Jazz fm so far with a touch of Boyzone.
