what a drag, my thoughts last night:
Shane's was nice but lost it the second half (unlike Cowboy Junkies)... the guy looks better in denim than satin
Theresa, adorable but just a lesser rehash of Sarah's version, those backups were really irritating, she's great, i wanted more
Kalan, alot of songs of Gord's would have sealed it for you, but not this one ...i mean great voice but too much wimpering for me
Jacob's sounded a bit Dave Matthews-ish, convulsions, not for me
give me the Jesse Winchester version for real funky stuff
Jason, Gord warned you about getting extra pumped when you're out there in front of the audience, that pump must have inabled him to keep the low register for verses, transpose up a whole tone atleast and try sing it with feeling, not a grimace
Elena, ahhh, she actually gave me a version I hadn't heard before - keep that low voice going and forget the wailing, cool
too bad one has to go, some i would like to see perform for a night, others just a CD listen, others i dunno if enough variety
elena - could watch her perform for a whole evening
kalan - CD, but one day i could watch him for hours i'm sure
theresa - CD, i'd rather listen to her interviewed than watch perform
shane - CD for sure, i couldn't watch but i know tons who could
jacob - i think i'd like to just watch him perform (and not listen)
jason - i could watch him for a few sets if i was sipping pints
good job kids, cheers gordon..... jacob or jason should go home
>>>
oops, goodbye elena - i was wrong again ....but think they all do us and Gord proud
