well, Global Wings, this week's American Idol has been about Lennon/McCartney, I've posted the videos on that thread (with Paul in person appearing). As you have covered all the songs, you're the best judges for this... and Bjorn, I like your "Say it to me now" above any performance of 2 weeks ago in American Idol
Well, I saw that episode yesterday, I must say I really liked some of the contestants, especially the version of Lennon's Jealous Guy. AND, who am I to judge, I am like you or anyone, or anyone appearing in Idol, it's Paul and the rest of the guys who did the job...I am just so humble to be able to sing the best songs in the world!! Could be worse, right!
Thanks for the raving review though!
well, man, you've sang the songs, so you know the difficult things in them... I'm always annoyed that judges in this contest are not singers or musicians... I don't understand much how can anyone that haven't tried to sing Hey Jude (or any song) in his life can judge a performance of Hey Jude. Yes, they can, but if it's like if I judged if a building was well built or so... "hmmm... oh yes, it looks good, I guess you've done a great job.... hmmm, no, wait, I don't have a clue about architecture... if the building was about to fall I just wouldn't know..." The thing with the contestants is not any single performance is that every performance seems to be the same every week. (I even guessed most of the Lennon/McCartney songs they were going to choose). It's like they only can sing one song really.
But well, these auditions are about that "Sing any song""lalalala... (singing any song I choose...)"
"ah, ok".... instead of.... "wait, now... why don't you sing.... why don't you sing Lawdy Miss Clawdy (for instance)?" I've always though it would be funny if the "rivals" could choose the song the other had to sing... like "Aaron, you're gonna sing Helter Skelter"... "Crystal, you're gonna sing I Am The Walrus", "Casey, you're going to sing Penny Lane", "Andrew, you're gonna sing I'm Down", "Katie, you're going to sing Tomorrow Never Knows", "Lee, you're going to sing Oh Darling", "Michael, you're gonna sing Octopus Garden "Siobhan, you're gonna sing You Know My Name "Tim, you're gonna sing Golden Slumbers" well... I'm not that bad....
I only mean there are lots and lots of people who does it better, but well, it's their show, so they're free to put into it whoever they want, this is silly complaning...

I still haven't watched a thing but it seems last week on American Idol was "Elvis week"... the way things are going next week will be Queen's week. Edited: performances on American Idol's thread. We can discuss syncopation.

Another beaut', guys!
Puts me in a warm, fuzzy place.

I've updated my version of SusyLovesPaul's "You Got More Sass Than Class." Definitely has a Lenny Kravitz'ish vibe to it:
Nice to hear some new music around here again, Bjorn. Ollie, any impossible duets on tap? -

David Archeletta owned the night, in my opinion. That kid can sing!

I think I forgot to post it here, but the other day I did another "impossible" duet with my Japanese friend.
My favourite so far!! -

Ollie, any impossible duets on tap?Not an impossible duet on tap, I don't have so much time to spend as I had... maybe this afternoon, who knows... Withney has finally stopped touring so I though of doing One Moment In Time... also doing something with Freddie. But I don't think I'll have the time, not even for a "take one and don't look back" session

I didn't know he was on the show that night. I liked a lot Adam Lambert as a mentor this week.
There's a thing he does most of the time with his voice... I've been doing a similar (hey!, only similar) thing for years... now I call that thing "Archuleting"I'm like that, I don't know the real names of things in singing, so "you need to use the Elvis kind of vibrato", this is a "Freddie", "you can do like Sinatra did in that song..." like if was gymnastics, where movements receive the names of their creators... I'm not gonna try to remind who wrote and how sang Imagine and I just say David's performance is fantastic.

My favourite so far!!Your projects are getting more and more gorgeous! Almost everything you've done in the last year would make a heavenly album. Seriously.

hidey hoooooooooooo, wingers. i have a favor to ask. ok, so i love ALL kinds of music. all genres and i have found a song i really like which i have downloaded off soulseek. it's called Nothing on You by B.O.B. there is a kid in Germany that does it BETTER and i'd really like a recording of it only i don't have any of the stuff running on my computer anymore and my mic is broken and it's all a mess here sooooooooooooo....could someone please record this song off youtube and post it here for me to download.
i think this guy is totally fantastic and if you compare it to the original version (B.O.B.) HIS is better. he takes most of the hip hop out of it and gives it a nice, romantic smooth finish. i'd appreciate it, guys and dolls. -

I think Evie is doing a "Brian May"(or so) in 0.09, I was surprised by that, not on the original version... I like it.

check out 0:11 here.yes, but you do it different, with some vibrato or well... I can't explain it... BrianMayish... I like it some typical Brian May playing (with an "impossible" and very emotional appearance of Freddie)
-
well, American Idol this year have been "over my divos"... my fav singers, Freddie, Lennon, McCartney and Elvis... Evie, now it's time for perhaps yours, Simon and Garfunkel... Lee-The Boxer

Guys, the impossible is going to happen: I'm going to see Paul McCartney. In concert. Two years... ...in a friggin' row! I already feel like lettin' go!!!!!!!! And thank you, Lordy, that it's an indoor gig this time! No chances of standing thirty-five minutes in the rain like I did last summer. Paul is the ONLY artist that this bra' will stand in the rain for. : )
-
Congrats, Audi!!
I'm going to let this tour pass by for once...but hey, I saw Paul twice last December in the Netherlands and Ireland so it's all good.

I'd forgotten that you went -- it was pretty much the same set as what I saw that prior August. Of course, you were treated to newly added nuggets like "Ob-La-Di...," "Wonderful Christmastime" and "(I Want To) Go Home." I am PRAYING that "Letting Go" doesn't get dropped from the setlist. I'll be like re-living one of the many climaxes of the Rockshow film -- without having actually lived it ever -- other than those nights in my living room! But you get my point.
