I expect you're tucked up by now Lena and Harry! Thought I'd better mention the spelling of Johnny Mathis, before Robert, or Marian does!!

No, not tucked up yet Marian, but i have to confess i took my turn and dozed while Harry was making come CDs.
Missed the Joseph elimination though.
Thanks for warning me about my mis-spelling of Johnny. :shock: I'm just trying to keep Robert on his toes, well that's my excuse. :wink: :wink: :wink:
There's one thing. I've never got Matt Monro wrong. :lol: :lol:
And now having said that I'll have to make sure I don't :wink: :wink: :lol:

Well, we have already heard this show before on GMMY Robert.
The host of the web-site is indisposed for a couple of days, so this show was repeated again plus a few others until he comes back. :lol: :lol:

...and just how old are you Robert????? :wink: :wink:

Johndeep was voted off on "Joseph". Andrew said the bottom two shouldn't have been, if you get my meaning. :roll: The one he saved was Chris. :lol: :lol:

Going back to the top 40 list of the above mentioned radio station, a bit of a surprise is that Canadian born Michael Buble is NOT on the list. Frank Sinatra is #1, which is fair enough, but he's NOT my #1 :wink: :wink: Dean Martin is at #3, which is rather surprising also. But a bigger surprise is that Engelbert Humperdinck is in the top 40 (mid thirties). So he and the others had a better voice than Matt.......................................... I don't think so :!: :!: :!: :!:

Definately not Robert! I remember Englebert when he was just plain old Gerry Dorsey..a name change made him much more successful, but didn't change his singing ability! :lol: :lol:

Hi All

Elaine Paige played From Russia With Love this afternoon in her Movies & Musicals show, which was nice to hear.
Can I stick up just a bit for Eng, I agree his voice is not the best, but I do do like his songs! :oops:
He was on Dane Edna's TV show last week, sang Quando Quando Quando.

Sorry, my entry probably came across a bit strong, did not mean to say he couldn't sing, just that he is no way as good as Matt. :lol: :lol:

Yes Gray, I agree with Marian. I wasn't saying "Eng" was not a good singer, as I like some of his recordings, but definitely NOT in the same class as our Matt :wink:

Englebert has made many beautiful recordings and this January marked the 40th Anniversary of his first hit "Release Me." and still performing and singing great. :lol: :lol:
