Marc Almond - The Idol

[MrFreddiesgirl]

Fuckıng GREAAAAAAAT!!!

[TheBoyCub]

But do you have the promo v ideo mate?

i have never SEEN it and i am a Marc/Soft Cell fan from the very begining!

'The Idol' and 'Out There' were never ever shown on TV in England, Europe, or America...have you seen them?

Great song, very Bolanesque.

[lustforlife358]

Genious!!

[fatpizzaman]

This song should have been a number one hit the world over - I'd like to see this song performed on shows like "American Idol" and "Britain's Got Talent".

[persephonewhiterose]

I love his singing :)

[mitzi66]

And who will be next on the big cross of fame?

A white sequinned glove and a big famous name?

[hypnoticplanet]

As soon as I heard of Michael Jacksons death I remembered Marc had written a song about this..... how weird!!! Premonition or what?

[1tomone111]

mark is like good wine, he get's better with age! (if that possible coz he's always been amazing)

[1tomone111]

all god's fall in thw end!! give it up dude.!!!!

[fatpizzaman]

Except for the one true God. Idols are just mortal human beings who are very skilled in music and acting.

[1tomone111]

we love you, we love you!!!!!!!!!!

[mrpepperman]

I remember seeing a performance of this on the tele, might have been a promo video, wish I could see it again, love Marc's voice

[iceyice11]

i like this song.

[SHAZMORSE]

sounds cool.

[dopey20008]

i have listened to this song and it is great just fantastic

[shaznay07]

why thankyou

[shaznay07]

its from fantastic star album, the one with the dog on the front cover

[sleazy48201]

what is this from, again?

[raahead]

There was a video for this, should have been a huge hit

[petreawillie]

sounds very much like Bowies Gean Jeanie

[fatpizzaman]

Agreed, as well as Gary Glitter's "Rock'n'Roll Part 1" and Sweet's "Blockbuster". And that beat has come back in again recently with the likes of Katy Perry and Christina Aguilera making songs like that.

[gemsdiamond]

Marc you just know how to express a mood.Without you we'd have no understanding or friend.

[eddielogic]

I can see your point. To simply share a magnificent song in simple terms just to explain to others what is really happening, its probably Almonds best composition, so ignore the posts that simply don't get the message

[eddielogic]

nice post!!

[fatpizzaman]

This is the best Marc Almond song. I'm a bit biased because I grew up with the 70's glam and glitter rock scene, so I know what he's on about. If anyone has the promo video, I'd be keen to see it because it wasn't released down under.

[rexlist]

"Bolan got fat was not pleasant to see

But we loved him again when he met with a tree" Yeah...but we always loved him !!!

not one of Marc's best..but still great to hear!....thanks !

[Jessuss1991]

is a good song but is not the promo video and if you did this as a tribute, well marc isn't not at a fatal end of his musical career

[shaznay07]

i know marc is not at a fatal end of his musical career. This was not done as a tribute,I just like the song,and wanted to share it.Sorry i dont have the video,I have never seen the video.Does anyone out there have it?

[thedarkwire]

All this is just the song, not the promo video. Even though this is a good song...
