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...

"You don't have to say" is not from JCS

No, I think it's something different entirely. I'm sure I can find out with a little research.

I was a tad disappointed with "Another Side", too. The arrangements were sort of... uninspired... and the songs themselves were not favourites. Some of them I used to dislike - and have come to like them with Barrowman singing them, which just shows how skewed my judgement is! Still. I'd much rather hear him singing showtunes or just... better songs.

And when I saw he had "Uptown Girl" on the list I did my best impression of the Doctor saying, "What??!!" Or maybe even his patented phrase: "That's impossible!"
