I used to sing- BILL from Showboat for auditions. I would sing it "straight",with no hint of camp or irony. I loved doing it, but I think it flipped out some directors & music directors.
I have not viewed Dr. Who or Torchwood, but I have been following John Barrowman in the press. He seems to be a really popular star in Britain. He is out of the closet & proud. I think I love him (he has been with his husband for 15 years)! He is singing here with Daniel Boys, a British stage actor now appearing in Avenue Q in London. I would like to be in the middle of that final hug!
I love the score from Chess & used to listen to it often when it first came out.
I think some people are confused about this song. It isn't meant to be a love song, its two people talking about their relationships with the same man - both realising that they can't fulfill him, but in different ways.

I have to say I really like 'Torchwood'. John Barrowman is all over the place here. I like him singing some songs but hes running the risk of over exposure here to, so the critics are saying anyway. Daniel missed out on one of the recent talent shows here recently. I thought Daniel was a fantastic singer and a bit dishy too :-)
ReplyDeleteStephen, too funny. I used Barrowman's I Am What I Am and then this song for my Pride celebration. LOL
