Erasure43,you are right.vocally speaking Alison is one of the best if not the best I have ever listened to.Try to listen to her version of The worst thing I ever do.
Alison Moyet........................what a star, what can I say....im speachless. Ive been a fan since the 80's, she really is a diva. She could sing a sea shanti and make it sound like ....velvet Opera. What an amazing talent. Perfect every time.
Alison Moyet.....fantastic, im speech less. Ive been a fan since the 80's, what a voice. She could sing a sea shanty and her voice would make it sound like.......velvet opera. A lady with a massive talent. Brian.
quaility, beauty, and passion. This woman sings better than i can put into words. So sexy. I love The Thomas Crown Affair and to top it off i found these songs. (((druide106))) I agree totally about the music on the radio
I love the original of this song and have no time for cover versions. I have just listened to this version by Moyet --I was wrong. This is incredible.
over 20 self-penned hit singles. where does one begin? Only you, Nobody's Diary, Situation, Don't Go (with Yazoo), Love Resurrection, All Cried Out, Is this love, This House...more recently Should I Feel That It's Over, One More Time, plus covers Weak in the presence of beauty, Love letters, That ole devil called love, Whispering your name, LOADS!!!
Comes from a fantastic album......Pretty sure arrangement was by Anne Dudley who also did string arrangement for Will Young's Leave right now and wrote the theme for Fry and Lauries Jeeves and Wooster.
When you turn on the radio, you hear only this Mainstreamsh**t why the radio does not play such music? That is still real fantastic music with a magical melody, charm and a nice touch.
Ianclivewright - Absolutely right. Can't get enough of that voice. She is awesome and newer female vocalists must feel inadequate when they listen to her. It must be tough for them to know they can't get near her class.
Thank goodness, some one is as sane as me, Alison, vocally is one of the best I have ever listened to. why she has not been globally accepted is beyond me
I really liked the version that was on the two ronnie's show with a load of singers (a repeat of the show on UK Gold). Thats where I first heard this song, but I was surprised when my wife started to sing the lyrics when we were watching it.
apart from the brilliant rendition of this classic track , hasnt Alison done well getting in to shape? She was always an icon for the larger lady, but looks a lot thinner now....just shows what determination can do. Great to see her again, & in such good form..& shape!
Alison really brings the haunting quality of this song to the fore - it's a fantastic version. And doesn't her voice just keeps getting better! Wow. Just like some of the other comments, I find myself listening to it over and over and over.
One of the best songs in music history with wonderful lyrics and an angelic voice, Alison Moyet has been a favourite of mine since the 80's and she's like good wine, she only gets better with age!
I started viewing video's of this song with a version by the Muppets, and have watched about 4 other versions now-- I simply cannot decide who does it best! They are all so incredible. I thought, OK, Sting is really good, then I saw Jose, now this-- HOT!
Shes got a very unique style of singing; the constant ornamentations she puts in the melody sound very good, almost Middle-Eastern I'd be inclined to say. Any Thoughts?
I always loved the Jose Feliciano version of this song. Alison has the passion spot on though. Does anyone know who wrote it, thought it was Jose but now not so sure. Thanks for posting.
The lyrics are sheer poetry, so utterly beautiful! And Alison is a brilliant singer with a lot of charisma, I just sit and stare at her, mesmerized...
You're right! I beg your pardon, when I watched it yesterday it was a bit fuzzy cos my connection was bad, for some reason all the internet in my location was pretty bad but its better today. My apologies.
I'm surprised you feel that way. I thought the TCA version is much better. The accompaniment on this is nice and Moyet hits the notes more clearly than Sting, but she sounds to forced/melodramatic for my tastes--especially when she tries to improvise for a moment. It sounds like someone singing in a church if you like that sort of thing. Sting has the right personality for the delivery of this song and the electric piano on that version is brilliant. To each their own though.
I think its a great rendition. Michel Legrand must do too as he has invited her to sing for him on his upcoming uk tour. I guess he thinks she is right for his songs.
The lyrics + melody + arrangement + the voice + emotion = perfection! This rendition put a lump in my throat and tears in my eyes. I now have a favorite song!
Round Like a circle in a spiral Like a wheel within a wheel Never ending or beginning On an ever-spinning reel Like a snowball down a mountain Or a carnival balloon Like a carousel that's turning Running rings around the moon Like a clock whose hands are sweeping Past the minutes of its face And the world is like an apple Whirling silently in space Like the circles that you find In the windmills of your mind
Alison Moyet is a treasure.
