Disc Mfg And Series - Rate Them!

[Garry A. Leslie]

Hello All,
Just a couple of thoughts.
First as far as lyrics are concerned, I think a lot of lyrics are transposed by people who don't have English as their first languge (I don't mean Americans he! he!)
Incidentally how good are lyrics in say, Spanish?
I often have a good chuckle over some of the more obvious errors.
Perhaps a few examples could be posted.
Being English I often buy CD's with tunes by artists unknown in the UK but hits in the US, just never made it this side of the pond.
So it's gratifying doing different versions of songs rather than sticking slavishly to the one original. I realise this is sacrilege to the Elvis or Frank singers.
I also think using a UK disc adds a different slant when sung in the US.
I love it when people ask about a certain artist or song they have never heard but which has been big in the US.
As I've said before as long as Karaoke is sung, everyone is going to have their favourites and hates.
Just as well we're not all the same.
Regards from across the pond,
Garry

I know there are not a lot of kj who use as much as we do but here is the plus side to this
we put everything we have out there for people to sing
I don't care if its a bad version to me or not and here is why we do this

don't you as a kj or even a singer get tired of hearing the same song sung by the same singer

so here is what we have been doing say some one sings my way we have it 15 times
so this is were the fun starts we have a place were people don't try to be stars so this works there
each week the singers sing a diff version of the same song it kind funny
they have funny with this it my be a little slow or a little deeper then what they are use to so they sing deeper every gets a kick out of this
some time the singer will ask us to step it up 2 keys so they sing like chip monks
this one show is such a fresh show to do because every one does not take it
like this is star search
and the funny part about this is 75% of the singers are dam good singers
this bar has the rep of having the best singers in Washington
but they come there and have a ball its not who can sing the best
but who can sing the funniest
and still sound good

that is the flip side to putting all your songs in hoster and not just the ones you the kj think should be in there

and out off all the singers each one has found a diff version that they like better then the one they sing all the time
maybe a little faster or diff key that works for them

so in a nut shell who is to say what is better or not it should be up to the singer to pick the version they like to sing
and the only way they can do that is to sing them all

now I know you guys say the book gets to big to put it all in

we are about to change all that for you in the near further
you will never look at a #### again

see ya mike

If this hasn't been said before, Radio Starz are great for Garth Brooks songs.
