I was a litlle desappointed. Basia voice is not mixed well. Her hair-style, her make-up (and pluck...too) and wardrobe did not show her to advantage. I think the group have to improve the future performances. I'm very embittered with such sobriety and feebleness. Just forgot it.... Can someone, please, recognize the musicians (I just distinguish Fayyaz Virji and may be Kevin Robinson but that's all ) ?????

O'Donnell" Subject: Re: German Show Just finished looking at the clip--thanks for sending it on! Very glad to see Basia again, now I want to get all of Matt Bianco's CD's! This Anke girl. . .a bit annoying, or is it just me not understanding German? I guess she had fun singing with them, but it kind of made me wonder about Jay Leno or--eeek--David Letterman getting up and singing with them. GAWD. Also checked out the video on MattBianco.com--VERY well done, but why do they all wear black? ________________________________________________________________ The best thing to hit the Internet in years - Juno SpeedBand!

It also sounded, on the part of both vocalists, that they are a bit out of practice. :-) Basia looked pretty stiff and nervous at first but by the end of the medley she had relaxed a bit and things were sounding better. Her voice though-- I dunno, she sounded winded a bit, and again I really don't think they had her and Mark's mike turned up enough or something. Mark also sounded a little bit rusty. This was *the first performance* though, so let's cut them some slack. Especially for Basia, bless her heart, she hasn't sang live in so long that *I* felt nervous for her, and it was pretty apparent to me that she was pretty nervous too. And what did you expect her to look like? She looked fine to me. > Can someone, please, recognize the musicians (I just > distinguish Fayyaz > Virji and may be Kevin Robinson but that's all ) > ????? That wasn't Fayyaz Virji. I don't recognise anyone except Kevin Robinson, sorry. KR is literally doing a tour with Incognito at the same time all this Matt Bianco stuff is going on. The night after this he was in Amsterdam with the Cog and the night before it he was in the UK doing that show at Astoria that I was whining about. This guy must have the frequent flyer miles! - --Leslie __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!

Because they are the lost cast members of The Matrix. ;-) That was my first thought. I'm silly. I rather liked the clothes she was wearing in that. Very cool. - --Leslie, also monchromatic, pale and dark-haired, but not nearly as cool. __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? New and Improved Yahoo!
