Another John Barrowman treat...

[fajrdrako]

They've announced the songs on John Barrowman's upcoming CD, which will be available in November, called Music Music Music. The title makes me laugh.

The songs are:

1. What About Us
2. From A Distance
3. You'll Think Of Me
4. I Made It Through The Rain
5. You Don't Have To Say
6. Right Here Waiting For You
7. Uptown Girl
8. Both Sides Now
9. Angel
10. I Know Him So Well
11. I Am What I Am
12. Can't Take My Eyes Off You

I am particularly excited about 11 and 12, which are two of my favourites; is "You Don't Have to Say" the Andrew Lloyd Webber song from Jesus Christ Superstar"? I don't know the first five at all, or don't know them by title.

Which brings me to the list of songs I'd like to hear John Barrowman record:

1. Smoke Gets in Your Eyes
   
2. I Will Wait For You
   
3. Till There was You
   
4. Embraceable You
   
5. I Only Have Eyes for You
   
6. Put Your Head on My Shoulder
   
7. King of the Road
   
8. There's No Business Like Show Business
   
9. Hey There, from The Pajama Game
   
10. The Doctor and I - a variation of The Wizard and I, which he sang in concert earlier this year.

I could go on... and on...

How is he going to sing "I Know Him So Well" - by himself or as a duet? It's a great song, but...

I think I will have to wash my mind out after trying to imagine him singing "Uptown Girl", though. I can't think of too many songs that are a worse match! There are lots of other great Billy Joel songs he could cover - "The Longest Time" from the same album seems much better suited if he wants upbeat, and I think he could belt out "Piano Man" pretty well.

We shall see! I can't imagine it... yet.

"Uptown Girl" seems a real anomaly and I can only think that he had something he wanted to do with it.

I'm rooting for "as a duet with himself." *g* It reminds me of this video (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fmkv42MLNEw) where he appears at one point to be singing to himself.
