Okay, I admit that I’m not that up with the stars these days. However, I do know who Antonio Banderas is. Eh, who doesn’t? He’s that handsome Zoro with the sexy Spanish accent. Subsequent movies showed that he can also dance, but just recently I stumbled upon him on YouTube and found out that he can sing, too! Oye! Check it out!
Yeah, yeah, this is old news, apparently; but new to me! While he’s not quite Michael Crawford, he’s actually pretty good! And of course, Sarah Brightman is still fantastic. About twenty years ago, I saw the Phantom of the Opera here in Los Angeles. Gee, it’s been a while, but I think it was at the Mark Taper Forum. Unfortunately, the night we saw it, Sarah Brightman was not performing, but rather her understudy. She was very good, too, but still I wished Brightman was there. Likely, Crawford was there, and wow, what a treat! His voice is out of this world. And now seeing Brightman here and other videos, I sure wish I had seen her in person. What a magnificent voice she has!
Here’s another example of Brightman’s amazing voice singing Time to Say Goodbye with Andrea Bocelli. Her singing is so smooth and clear and graceful. She reaches all her notes so effortlessly. The two of them sound so good together. Absolutely breathtaking!
My, if I had a voice like her, I’d be singing all the time! Ha! But I don’t sing. . . perhaps that tells you something, ha!
Okay, better get back to work here. I’m still struggling to finish Matty’s blanket before we leave this Friday. Will I make it? It looks like I still have a chance, but better get my butt working, otherwise I won’t make it. I’ve made up my mind to finish this blanket before we leave, and so I’m racing with myself.
Toodles!
