i remember doing a sign language cover to this in Year 6. that night was the first performance i did in front of a crowd, best night of my younger self EVAR!!!
watching this video for the first time, and rehearing the song
@wmrxb15 Yeah. Right from the start. And I hate to see such a majestic and powerfull song reduced to a comercial pop gimick. I don't like it :P His voice is amazing but the arrangement is just awfull.
I can see what theyve tried to do but this doesnt work at all. Shaun Ryder's a master at mixing musical forms - 24 Hour Party People, Bummed, Pills Thrills and Bellyaches and Its Great When Youre Straight are testament to that.
I loved Freddie also but Russell makes this song his own. Hate to compare them as they are just different. Never thought I'd like anyone other than Freddie doing Barcelona but when I heard Russell the first time I changed my mind! Wow! He is superb!
jasonshaver13, if you like this song, then you should by all of his cd's. They are, for the lack of a better, word FANTASTIC!!!! I have all of his cd's except for the cd's that he sells overseas. But soon I will change this.
I would expect someone with your language skills to come out with such a comment. You also have a lack of music intelligence as you cannot appreciate versality in different artists. Yes Freddy Murcury's rendition of Barcelona is great but Russel's is even greater like everything he does and the video really made me smile. So pleased you are on the road to recovery Russell, love yor blogs and look forward to your book.
With much love from a fellow Lancastrian who lives in Devon.
it's a wonderful song...but after seeing the MTV here..i just feel that it's not sooo match with the song...just feel a bit strange...but defernetly Russell he has a great voice...that no doubt..just feel the MTV is a bit strange
"if God is willing" and "forever" are sold cheap with expensive models,silicone and saliva in this version...The great orchestral arrangement, magnificent choire and excelent voice of Russel are poluted by this other guy.
Let Shaun Ryder sing without that lame Russel distraction. He´s a result of the autotuners and a big fake. Atleast Shaun Ryder is for real and adds some vibes to it.
Russel Watson is an amazing Singer,he as such a POWERFUL Voice and the other Jerk should leave the limelight to russel because he don't belong there!!!!!!
Exciting song but I could really do without that second guy talking and breaking the flow of the music. Let Russell sing without the distractions or whatever that guy is doing, it's so annoying.
wow, what a fab video, Russell looks so fab and Shaun not bad too...great looking spain, they look like they had so much fun, great great great, make more video like the Russ. xxxx
I am sorry -- I absolutely LOVE and ADORE Russell, but this is the biggest piece of crap I have ever seen. I use to love this song, and had an entirely different mental picture in my mind until seeing this. 100% pure cheesiness. Still fun though - thanks for posting! BTW, where did you find this?
I simply cannot agree more with you. You speak what I think about this song and the video! By the way I recommend the original version by Freddie Mercury and Montserrat Caballe as well.
Wonderful
