So here it is, the titular tune from the sequel to Andrew Lloyd Webber’s The Phantom of the Opera, Love Never Dies: Hang on a second you say – that sounds familiar! Well, of course it does. The song was … Continue reading →

“I Know Him So Well”, featuring Susan Boyle

Posted on December 14, 2009 by David Fick

Here’s a “treat”: Elaine Paige singing “I Know Him So Well” with Susan Boyle. It’s an absolute feast of poor enunciation, bad timing and absent harmonies!

WEST SIDE STORY at Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade

Posted on November 29, 2009 by David Fick

This was definitely my favourite performance from the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade. Yes, we’ve seen “America” countless times before and, sure, it would have been great to see a number like “Cool” instead. But putting that point to one side, … Continue reading →

Here’s a fabulous clip of Liza, dispensing great advice to the contestants of Australian Idol and then delivering a performance of “Cabaret” afterwards. Gosh, I just love this woman! The years might have taken their toll on her voice, but … Continue reading →
