I feel it was a shame there weren’t songs from the other nominated best musicals. I know it’s always trickier for closed shows but they are all kind of closed at the moment.
I’d have loved representation for Waitress and especially Amelie

Why Love Changes Everything? Surely an Uncle Steve considering its his 90th birthday year. Or failing that a song for the moment such as You'll never walk alone

Why Love Changes Everything Think it was a tribute to Don Black and I suppose Andrew LW was handy too!! |

Sharon D C destroyed that song. I love her but it was absolutely painful.

I've always found Sharon a bit hit and miss for how she sings. Mainly hit, and when she's great she's very, very great, but every now and then there's something like this, which I found horrible.
Love Changes Everything is normally a bit cheesy, but it's joyously cheesy. Mucking about with the arrangement removed that joy and turned it into something naff.
It might work in the context of a new musical, but as a stand alone performance, I couldn't help but wonder why on earth anyone would think it was a good idea.

Funny how people hear things differently. Love Changes Everything has always sounded bombastic and insincere ever since Michael Ball first oversang it. Audra McDonald just about saved it when joined by the glorious Marin Mazzie, Judy Kuhn and two better songs by ALW. Sharon D Clarke made it a bit more soulful and personal, and I actually started to believe a lyric that I normally dismiss as drivel. Huge improvement to my ears, but we all hear things differently.

Amanda Holden recently had the number 1 Album in the UK. So yeah... people definitely hear things differently! |

Celebrity over pure vocal talent. Well that's another thread! I'm actually listening to her album whilst doing the ironing and "don't shoot me" but I really like it. But I'm easily pleased. |

"don't shoot me" but I really like it. Everyone has the right to their opinion. I love singers that others hate. I like the song choices on her album and I have certainly heard worse singers. |
