David Cook did an impromptu duet with Ryan Star on ‘Breathe’  during Ryan’s set in Baton Rouge on Saturday night. It shows how great DC is at harmonizing.

That was awesome! Aw, I’ll miss Ryan Star, too, I really enjoyed him at the show I went to in Radford. He puts on a good show!

DC hits him some high notes when he’s singing harmony!

“Breathe”

The resulting album, he says, will have elements of both classic rock and electronic music. “There’s a lot of anthems,” he says. “You know how We Will Rock You by Queen is an anthem that you can put in stadiums and people will sing along to it? There’s a lot of that on the record so far. A lot of power-anthemy, sing-along stuff.

Key words: power-anthemy and sing-along. WHOOHOO!!! Exactly what I’m hoping for.

ETA: Part 2

It would have also evened it out a bit with 6 guys and 4 girls instead of the 7-3 as it is.

7 guys and 3 girls? I’m cool with that! :wink_wp:

Lot’s of info and worth a look. The Adam piece has some more info on his album. Here’s the most informative part:

The resulting album, he says, will have elements of both classic rock and electronic music. “There’s a lot of anthems,” he says. “You know how We Will Rock You by Queen is an anthem that you can put in stadiums and people will sing along to it? There’s a lot of that on the record so far. A lot of power-anthemy, sing-along stuff.

“I think people are going to be pleasantly surprised, but it’s not going to be what they heard on the show.” He thinks the closest comparison from the show might be his version of Steppenwolf’s Born to Be Wild. “It was a classic rock song, but there was this electro beat underneath it that was really new and fresh. And blending the two together, I think, is really something different.”

‘And, since I’m a singer, I can’t help it, either,’  Michael says.

That last comment is debatable’ ¦.

I agree, butte009. I read and hear very little positive about Michael, so how did he get on the tour? Never mind, no need to regress. It would have been so nice to have Alexis instead. It would have also evened it out a bit with 6 guys and 4 girls instead of the 7-3 as it is. Oh well……… :furious_tb:

THE wave of nostalgia for Michael Jackson’s music has reached Australia. He is back on top in the ARIA charts, dominating album, single and digital download charts.

‘We found an old rickety piano,’  Matt says, ‘and, since I’m a piano player, I can’t help it.’ 

‘And, since I’m a singer, I can’t help it, either,’  Michael says.

That last comment is debatable….

It’s great to hear good news from Lindsey Cardinale,

I agree, I loved her voice. She had that smoky, sexy quality that was great on quiet songs. She carried herself well, too. I thought she was seemed kinda classy.
