It’s funny you say that because I was trying to decide who could do “Bernadette” earlier today. :happy: :biggrin:[/quote]
I was in my early teens when Motown started to rule the top 40 and The Four Tops were soaring high. They immediately became my favorites. I would love to hear somebody from Idol sing something of theirs. But they would be hard pressed to match the powerful high tenor strained sound of Levi Stubb. It would also be hard to match The Tops back up harmony.
I cant think of any famous singer who has ever recorded them. Their dark intensity was incredibly gripping and moving.

Lil–Quicksand by Martha & The Vandellas

And as I said before, Adam should do, “Somebody’s Watching Me.”

I’m still working on the others..

I agree with the original post – It’s a little unseemly to be cavorting about on stage with one eye on becoming a singing star when you have only recently suffered a bereavement. I can only ask anyone who thinks Danny’s behaviour is OK to ask themselves whether they would approve of their own husband or wife doing something along these lines after their own passing. I can only hope they would show considerably more respect.[/quote]
I’m reminded of a book that was popular a number of years ago “Women are from Venus and Men are from Mars.”
As a male I could relate to it. As a general rule men deal with their emotions more inwardly then women do.
This whole controversy with Danny Gokey reminds me of many true crime documentary shows where the police focus on the family of a murder victim and hound them to death because their ignorant tunnel vision is to lazy to let them see anything else.
This poor guy is being over analyzed and all anyone has come up with is rumors and mountains of nothing more then negative thinking.
All I have seen is a polite man with a great talent. I dare say to those who post these negative innuendos and inflated exaggerations , what if that were your brother, Father or your son, would you be so quick to agree with all this cold blooded scrutiny?[/quote]
I really thought I was through with talking about this but it turns out I am not. First I have to say that I don’t particularly like Danny Gokay. I am not impressed with his voice, I find him overly cocky, and …
That said, we do all grieve in very different ways. What brought this to mind was pictures and articles about Natasha Richardson’s death and funeral. Just looking at Liam you know that he is going to be back on set within a week. Off camera will he be hollyjolly? I doubt it but he has to finish the movie he is working. Vanessa and Natasha were supposed to bring A Little Night Music to Broadway this spring. Will Vanessa move ahead with the project, maybe sub Jolie in Natasha’s place, I doubt it. I may be wrong about both these assumptions but so what. It is NOT my place to tell them how to grieve. If Vanessa goes out and does 4 movies and 3 plays in the next year while Liam stays at home and does nothing will I think less of either of them, no…To be completely flippant about it, some people demand gas to have a cavity filled and some refuse Novacan (sp). Is one better than the other. no.
