ALFIE BOE....CD..ALFIE.
Played a few tracks from this on last Tuesday's show. His duet with Micheal Ball...EMPTY CHAIRS AND EMPTY TABLES...superb. There are other good tracks and the album is good for the Alfie fans but the overall choice of songs do not always suit this fine singer and when he re-portrays Sinatra's A VERY GOOD YEAR the outcome is not rewarding. For Alfie Boe fans only.
THE OVERTONES.
This album is the old one with eight new tracks. If you bought the old one with GAMBLING MAN as your incentive and really enjoyed it , as I did, then you're gonna have to fork out again, as I did. The pleasures of hearing their versions of ONLY GIRL IN THE WORLD (RIANNA) AND ROLLING IN THE DEEP(ADELE) are countered by the fact that you have a dozen tracks repeated. A new trick by the record companies which is fast growing in enthusiasm. Bad news!!!
X-FACTOR v STRICKLY.
Every week I comment on these two monoliths as they precede towards Christmas. The X factor has got lost with it's groups re-naming then....what is it now...PICK AND MIX..no LITTLEMIX although Pick and mix is what they seem to be doing. Cherry picking artists to replace group members who want to escape. Frankie can't sing, and others seem vastly out of tune and if Misha Bee doesn't win the standard of the programme will fall apart. A return of Simon Cowell/Cheryl Cole is there only hope of retaining audiences.
STRICKLY works on a whole family entertainment system and that (without the adverts) keeps is popularity higher than X FACTORY. However is has moved to fun and set-pieces to illuminate the dancing and this works fine. As the competition progresses things get serious and in the end there is little to choose between the top four celebrity dancers. They should award another prize for BEST DANCE of the current series voted by the audience to keep our interests alive....even if Russell Grant wins it....then it can be repeated in all it's new glory.
