Whitney Houston 1963-2012

By Music & RadioNo Comments

Whitney Houston died this weekend (BBC News). Whitney 48 years old, is most famous for her music with iconic songs such as I Will Always Love You, One Moment In Time and more recently Million Dollar Bill. It’s sad to hear of her death, especially at the age of 48.

I remember a few years back both Whitney and Tina Turner where coming to my local city to perform. I could only afford to watch one of them and I eventually choose Tina Turner (see Tina was Incredible). There a few reasons for this, but the most important one was that Tina is significantly older and therefore less likely to tour again. Whitney had just released her Million Dollar Bill album and there were roomers that she’d already started working on material for the next album.

I don’t regret the decision I made. But I do wish I had been lucky enough to see her perform. So I’m going to leave you with some you tube videos of Whitney performing some of my favourite songs:

DVD Review: An Evening with John Barrowman

By Happiness & Joy, Music & Radio, ReviewsNo Comments

An Evening With John Barrowman was a Christmas present to myself. It was recorded in Glasgow, Scotland which was appropriate as John’s family are originally from there.

He entered the stage wearing a jacket and trousers made out of a silver, silky-looking material which were tailored and very stylish. This combined with a tight black shirt and his white cheeky smile made him look very sexy indeed. (Definitely good eye candy!)

He performed a range of covers from his album Music Music Music. I enjoyed the ballets that seemed to suit his voice but felt it that both the album and performance would have benefited from some original songs.

During the breaks between songs John talked about his life and private family photos were projected on to a screen behind the stage. He seemed to want the audience to know more about him, his past and how he got to be where he is today. He mentioned his autobiography I am What I am, his time as Captain Jack Harness (see Torchwood – The Collection (Series 1-3) [DVD] & Torchwood – Children of Earth [DVD]) and towards the end even brought his parents up on stage.

Overall I enjoyed the show and was glad I bought it. I will watch it time and time again. Although his songs could have been original rather than covers, his charisma and sex appeal makes up for this. There is a part on the DVD were John shows that he knows his sex appeal as he turns and shakes his bum for a few seconds (causing me to say Wow!).

You can buy An Evening With John Barrowman on Amazon.

Review more things soon,

Antony

Adam Lambert

By Gay, Music & Radio, The WebNo Comments

Adam Lambert for those of us in the UK who might not know about him is the runner up in American Idol (the American equivilant of xfactor). Tia a fellow blogger has blogged about him on several occasions. Well according to Daily Dose of Queer has caused a storm in America for his raunchy act on The American Music Awards and for kissing another man on television.

Adam Lambert is gay and the words in his song are indeed raunchy, so shouldn’t his act be? See the video of his performance below:

(Edit: Unfortunately the video’s been removed on youtube, but I’ve found it here: http://littleglitterlittleglam.blogspot.com/2009/11/adam-lambert-ama-performance-video-for.html have a loook. I don’t know why people are trying to supress it by claiming copyright.)

I quite like the song, actually. And my rebelious side loves the act and the gay kiss. Time to grow up American audience, we are now in the 21st centry. Would the same reaction of occured if Rihanna did a hetrosexual version of the song and performance? He comments on this performance:

So I’ve decided that I like Adam Lambert, especially with his boundary pushing. What do you think? Leave a comment.
