Not bad. 6/10. Johnny Cash always reminds me of my dad's funeral - he was his favourite artist. My sister suggested he be played out at his cremation to "Ring of Fire". It's true. We had to laugh.Quote:

Here's one:

Talented though Jack is, he isn't about to come up with anything startlingly original - but his confident mastery of the vernacular is a joy to behold. 9/10
Speaking of those who aren't very original but utterly joyous...

Classic 60's girl group. Gerry Goffin and Carol King knew what they were doing.

9/10. So good.

Okay. Kinda grew on me as the song progressed.

Very juvenile sounding.

6/10 Not a huge fan of the Bangles
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=63z7dFcgraA
5/10 - song is okay, but Prince is nothing to write home about...
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QtjqxZMqMTA
the song isn't bad, it's just so forgettable...hence i haven't listened to it since this was on the radio.
4/10

I like the song and I like The Presidents of the US the remake was ok. 7/10
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RTiyLuZOs1A
Singer is a Master...it is hard not to give him 10/10
Song is a classic...it deserves at least a 9/10
Overall....9/10 (we'll leave a little room for perfection's sake)

You know, I'm sure Paul Simon is an exceptionally gifted songwriter but he is also monumentally uncool. Man, what a square. 6.3/10.Quote:

I guess I'm looking for true talent and decent material for a song...

This, I think, has, despite the period-specific ting-pow production.
A song so good, it survived the singular and often fatal experience of being covered by the Counting Crows. 9.5/10.Quote:

It's nothing new or creative. The only thing that saved it was the trumpet.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rska-Z3oDtY
And Mathor's not allowed to follow mine, because that's cheating haha
Not bad, while it intrigued my tastes, it didn't send fireworks. 6.75/10
Summertime
8.5/10
Love the song, love Ella, but it's not my favourite rendition.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jh_OEPYIFbw
4/10
Her voice is good, but the song from Cabaret is meh.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v--IqqusnNQ
I love the style, the song was pretty good, and she did it justice.
I'll give it a 7.5/10...
It was decent, but his presentation detracted greatly from what he did with the song...3/10
Considering the musicals, Stars is one of the greats
I hate musicals, but I make an exception for Cabaret (because it's more a straight movie complemented by stage performances, and no urchins dance on rooftops between chimney pots).
For me, this voice is too refined - in the 'processed' sense of that word - and the arrangement too glossy. Like the song a lot though. 5/10
---- Damn, overtaken by events.
So - about the Les Miserables. It's the ultimate 'urchins singing' musical, isn't it?
3/10
Meanwhile, in a very different part of the forest....
4/10
Bowie doesn't really do it for me. He's one of those people who managed to have a fantastic career despite the fact that he can't really sing. +1 for the sweet mullet.
Edit: wow that was weird. 4/10. This just reeks of the 80s and not in a good way.

7/10 - It's all right. Not much else to say... :p

I think the scoring - except for Classic Charm's - has definately taken a downswing. Are we becoming more critical, or are we running out of our good stuff?
Brilliant - 9/10.Quote:

Nah. I think it's just that popular music - like painting, literature, theatre, dance, fashion, architecture and every other human endeavour - is ninety-nine percent crap. We all appear to agree about that.Quote:

I will give this little speech 8/10 because of the sentiment it expresses! :pQuote:

I still think that's a compelling simile, though I was shocked at the time to think that my dad noticed women at all, let alone with such anatomical precision.
It's a good pop song, but no more than that - which I feel is Abba in a nutshell. 7/10.
Rather more challengingly....
They were good - very good, but I didn't like them. I won't comment on sparkling costumes suffice to say that I narrowly missed that particular scene for the dowdier punk era, which was much more my scruffy style.Quote:

Sorry Mark - I jumped in there. EDIT
I've always had a soft spot for Lindisfarne which I can't really justify, except that, maybe, they were a sort of English hippy thing I was just too young for. 8/10.
Back to Graham....
Meh. . . .6/10. I was okay.
This stuff annoys my wife, but I love it: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B4sqishGuYw
