Breaking news from Friday: It's the HOLIDAYS!
Breaking news from today: none.
Well today I learnt that Andrew Lloyd Webber officially rocks. From what I saw on American Idol he was great, but after watching his 'Celebration' CD (filmed live from Royal Albert Hall) he is really somewhat of a musical genius.
The show started with Tina Arena (I THINK that's her name) and 'Whistle Down The Wind', later to be performed by Lottie, um, something. Turner, I think. Not so sure. But the song is beautiful, somewhat haunting, and well yeah very beautiful.
But what made me fall in love with the whole damn thing was Antonio Banderas and Sarah Brightman singing Phantom of the Opera. They rock! Especially when Antonio kept saying, "Sing for me, sing for me..." It was very haunting. Sarah's voice is very beautiful and high-pitched (although she does look a little scary sometimes, it's all worth it).
There was also Boyzone with No Matter What, and -if I'm not wrong- Elaine Paige (Page?) with Memory, from the musical Cats (another beautiful olde-time memoryish song- 5/6 stars!!).
Only drawback: no Lea Salonga.
I don't know why but I'm in this kind of musical mood lately so I've been listening to A LOT of Lea Salonga youtube videos. There are so many, considering Lea's wide range and TALENT.
She sang for Disney (duet with Brad Kane for A WHOLE NEW WORLD for Aladdin- sure you remember that one; REFLECTIONS from Mulan...) and Broadway (Miss Saigon, Les Mis.....). Her renditions of You Must Love Me, I Still Believe and I Dreamed A Dream are absolutely wonderful.
CHECK HER OUT ON YOUTUBE.
You won't regret it, trust me!
She also sang 'Don't Cry For Me Argentina' from the musical Evita, which I just learnt is based on a true story about this rags-to-riches First Lady of Argentina, if I'm not wrong. The songs written in Evita are wonderful. One of them -not so sure what it's called- was sung by Antonio in the CD.
Surprisingly, Antonio is as good a singer as he is an actor!
Maaan, this post sounds damn corny and advertisement-like, but it's true. Bottom line: Andrew Lloyd Webber (and Lea Salonga xD) rock!
Haha Okay I'll stop here. It's like 11.30, lol. Now that it's the holidays I seem to be sleeping later. Hmmm...
♥ GRACE!
