Olivia
Newton John...Gina G...now Jane Comerford. If Australia is really heaven
on earth, why do tone-deaf Antipodeans come over in such droves? Answer
me that. Anyway, calm down son. Germany have really put their frankfurter
on the chopping block this year, going with a honest to goodness country
& western track. Jane sports a big pink meringue, with a big pink
bath-mat draped round her shoulders. She swings her meringue in true Nashville
styley, but sadly grasps her hem a lot more confidently than she does
her high notes. It's a bit of a girlish voice, but is rescued by an actual
group of proper musicians supporting her.
I'm going to have to put my cumberland on the chopping
block too here, and state that I think this will succeed. There's a lot
of factors ganging up against it...they're proper musicians (see Autria
2005), they're singing a US form of music (see also Denmark), they're
German (see Germany), and the lead singer isn't very good (see too many
nations to mention). But considering all this it reminds me of Rollo&King,
and that's not a bad thing. Watch out for the Teutons. |
