I noticed in recent times there has been a bit of chatter around this forum about a certain entertainer we know as Barry Mannilow....Baz.

I saw an intro by UK TV identity Jonathan Ross tonight that I thought was rather amusing. This is how the show started:

"You know the longest I’ve ever been waiting for an interviewee was the time Madonna, had me pacing up and down for 2 full hours while she put on the finishing touches to her make up........of course

Tom Jones had me wait for 1 hour and 15 minutes once, but then, he was stuck in traffic, which is a legitimate excuse

Barry Mannilow.......Barry Mannilow was 15 minutes early, which lets face it, is just desperate."

I know this isn't relevant to much in the world but I thought that was a funny intro to a show.

But as you know Rae....they can't scare away juvenile delinquents in Australia without Barry blasting through the speakers either

Do you mean NKOTB ?

[Ritter_Schlumpfenherz]

To be honest, the first concert went to was one of the earliest of the Backstreet Boys in November 1995. I certainly was punished, since one girl stole my raincoat.
But I wasn't much into them. I only liked their first album

[Syd Smurf]

yeah sorry Graham.....NKOTB

Are there any artists that when you were younger you just couldn't stand?

I couldn't stand Mick Jagger or David Bowie when I was around 10-11 years old......so when they recorded Dancing In The Street together I remember thinking..."oh brilliant...that's just bloody marvellous isn't it?"



I did grow to really like them a year or 2 after that but I just couldn't stand those two as a kid.

I am more into hating pop groups now who re-release an old hit knowing it will be a winner for them ! They cant make songs of their own anymore!

[Ritter_Schlumpfenherz]

@Dyar: Being 13, I made some jokes about Jean-Michel Jarre wearing a "zebra suit". I thought it looked just queer. Only four years later, I noticed that one tune I heard on the wire was "Equinoxe V" and that was him!!!

@Graham: I quite agree with you. There are hardly any good cover versions, but in r'n'b or jazz.

Ummm

I like ABBA and Mick Jagger and David Bowie...... NKOTB suck though

[steveparkes]

You know Graham, when I saw Dyar's post about Leo Sayer..I nearly put exactly word for word what you put

[eggie smurf]

Do you mean NKOTB ?

Only a fan of theirs calls them that, Graham!

And who's Leo Sayer?

[southernyacht]

mmmm, I wonder at what point I should confess to liking Bucks Fizz when I was younger........ (not to mention all those hours spent lurking by stage doors... )
