I see that the 3 tunes you have discovered, are all by British singers. And I agree, I've been really pleased with the new generation of singers popping up in the last few years! Mind you, we're talking about several years, in some cases, but in my book that is still recent... Will Young was the winner of the first Simon Cowell produced talent contest in the UK, the precursor of the X Factor, if I remember well it was called Pop Idol. Anyway, Will Young immediately stood out for me, I voted for him every week and was delighted when he won. Of all winners, I think he's the only one with real strength of character, someone who knows what he wants to do and not just a marionet with a good voice, like most other winners. Jamie Cullum and Corinne Bailey Rae are also truly talented in very different ways: Jamie as a jazzy cover singer, and Corinne as a very talented singer-songwriter. Can I just add the following British names as further recommendations: James Morrison (great soul music - listen to his CD Undiscovered, much better than the follow-up, almost every number is a hit) Amy Winehouse Lily Allen and there are more...

Will chose those folks out. I do have an affinity for British music it seems. I wasn't aware that any of those three were from Britain. It seems as if there is a lot more crap produced over here. Lady Gaga for one. I have watched American Idol this year, some years I skipped, and there has not been one contemporary act, that those ridiculous talent-less judges have adored, that I thought was even average, much less talented. And I cannot tolerate the hip-hop, rap or whatever one wants to call it shit. It's not music. And when is Crystal Bowersox going to do some Bonnie Raitt? That is obviously the direction she should go. I saw some Rosemary Clooney in her this week that she suppressed. And the Fort Worth boy does sound like a sheep. mack Hi Mack! I see that the 3 tunes you have discovered, are all by British singers. And I agree, I've been really pleased with the new generation of singers popping up in the last few years!

In the very last paragraph is a small Joni mention. [...] Love Lies Bleeding is ballet lite. The choreography is sexy, with echoes of Bob Fosse and Jerome Robbins, but it is more show than tell. Any deep social statements are swamped by the glitz and glamour. And then there is the genuine worry that Alberta Ballet is becoming formulaic. First there was The Fiddle and the Drum to Joni Mitchell songs. This season it's Elton John. Next season is Sarah McLachlan. Does this mean AB is going to run through every songbook of note? http://www.theglobeandmail.com/news/arts/theatre/love-lies-bleeding-ballet-lite-that-crocodile-rocks/article1560425/ ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 7 May 2010 22:16:11 -0400 From: Gerald Notaro Subject: Re: Review of Jean Grandmaitre's Elton John ballet (Love lies bleeding) vljc Typical critic claptrap. Gee, should we choreograph to music that people will actually come to and enjoy, thus assuring the survival of the art?
