I saw the piece and it still hasn't made a Merman fan of me. She tended to sing everything the same way, which Bowie does, and she has a melodramtic approach that tends to make everything sound artificial to me, which I also find Bowie has.
Bowie was hilarious on Conan O'Brian a few weeks back, goofing on himself by showing how he'd sing a nursery rhyme to his daughter as David Bowie rather than as Dad. Damn near Shatneresque in its pomposity. -- | josephzitt@josephzitt.com http://www.josephzitt.com/ | | http://www.metatronpress.com/jzitt/ http://www.mp3.com/josephzitt/ | | == New book: Surprise Me with Beauty: the Music of Human Systems == | | Comma / Gray Code Silence: the John Cage Discussion List |
