Wicked! - Defying Gravity


....


This is an incredible vocal performance from an incredibly fun musical. Great entry, I must get onto the director to revive Wicked when we get back to doing the ould pantos. Necro defying gravity seems like it needs to happen

Delighted you liked it, really wasn't sure how this round would go. It brings back such good memories for me, my first proper West End show

Necro

And that brings us right up to our remaining 6, in no particular order:


The purple tin (again)
Electric Nitwit
Cee_jay
ShaneU (again) - 4 top 3s in a row on the cards perhaps....
Barna77

And…

Also Starring LeVar Burton

Deja Boo

Both are in the film, but I wonder if Clint really sang himself

Cool, ta JP!
... oh, I really must watch the film, it looks good!

I can't decide if it sounds like Clint or not, but IMDB trivia says he did "Jean Seberg's singing voice was dubbed by Anita Gordon. Clint Eastwood and Lee Marvin did their own singing. Marvin's recording of the song "Wanderin' Star" went to number one on the U.K. charts, earning him a gold record."

See you all tomorrow folks….

Barna77

West Side Story – Tonight

Feel like I’m committing musical sacrilege here but I just never liked this song at all Unfortunate for the entrant but my opinion has not changed on multiple listens…

Barna77

And here I was thinking I was redeeming myself

Don't worry about it, I'm a fussy old curmudgeon and everyone knows my opinion ain't worth a damn...

Cee_jay

Wait For It - Leslie Odom Jr. (Hamilton)

Capitalising on my new found love for Hamilton here :P Again it’s a bloody delicious vocal performance. There’s so much to appreciate about Hamilton if you do get the urge to watch it, very enjoyable from start to finish and this song really is a highlight. Any of the top three could have been winners on a different day, it was very very close.

Trigger

We turned the Greatest Showman off after 30mins :pac:

Although the nieces love it and know all the songs

JP Liz V1

Lin-Manuel Miranda (Hamilton) other musical In The Heights is coming to the big screen

Necro

In 15th place with 2 points

ShaneU

Sammy Davis Jr - Rhythm of Life

I just couldn’t click with this one at all, it’s catchy but just wasn’t my thing. Yeah, I think that’s the best way to describe it.

Necro

Just updated Barna's song there, I had the wrong youtube link in my word doc

I was listening to the one submitted mind you, just selected the wrong one when typing things up!

Necro

In 2nd Place with 15 points

Also Starring LeVar Burton

Cast of Buffy The Vampire Slayer - Walk Through The Fire (Once More With Feeling)

This is arguably the greatest musical episode by any TV show, ever – and certainly one of the strongest songs from the episode. Very unlucky to miss out on the top spot, I was torn on this one and another and they just swapped places on my last listen through.

Necro

In 16th place with 1 point

The purple tin

Iscariot Summons The Innkeeper - from AD/BC: A Rock Opera

Oh no… no no no. I really didn’t like this at all. *shudders* I mean it's certainly erm... different? But yeah... no. Sorry

And in FIRST Place with 16 points

(And he's not even here to feckin enjoy it!!!)


Electric Nitwit


Drive it Like You Stole it - Sing Street

This is a cracking entry, would you believe I hadn’t seen Sing Street :eek: This entry basically changed that – what a CRACKING movie. Loved it. Anyways I just loved this a little bit more than the others in the top 3 which allowed it to pinch the win in this category.

(Werewolf players may understand what my rambling about it on Sunday evening last was now finally :pac: )

Shane's lead is cut to a single point with LeVar gaining quite a bit of ground with that round.

ari, cee_jay, Liz and EN are all within a few points of the top there...






As for the next round... well.... see the next post, cos y'all have a choice...

Also Starring LeVar Burton

Strangely, the three other songs I had been considering entering for this category if I didn't go for Walk Through The Fire, were Drive It Like You Stole It, Wait For It, and Defying Gravity... What are the odds of not even just all of them being entered, but making up the Top 4... Crazy... :eek:

Necro

I can do the 90s Round RIGHT NOW....


OR

We can leave it at that for this evening and I'll do a double round tomorrow evening from an earlier time, whichever ye prefer.




I'll let y'all mull that over whilst I pour myself a whiskey whilst Driving it like I Stole It (er... the song... not actually drinking and driving...)
