Brent Spiner & Maude Maggart - DREAMLAND

[CoAvsAndTheFray]

1:48 made me want to have that cd =)

[UmbramMonstrator]

@CoAvsAndTheFray I totally agree! :D

[badmovebaker]

I would love this even if it didn't team up Data and Luke Skywalker.

[AngelWivABentHalo]

I met Brent yesterday and he is lovely and really funny. I love the fact that he can be super emotive, whilst becoming infamous with such an awesome but deadpan character (Data).

[byte2702]

people who watch this should watch this, too: youtube.com/user/freshhellseri­es (Brent Spiner) -- Thanks a million, Brent!

[PuccallpaGirl]

I must get this. He offers personalized autographed copies on his website. I'm off to get one. Happy Birthday to me!

[kelollman]

Fabulous! Brent just gets better and better! Love the music, love the video - wonderfully entertaining and he couldn't have picked a better singing partner than Maude Maggart.

[L1C1T1]

what is the song at 1:49 called??

well done..

[PianoWizzy]

@L1C1T1 That, I believe, is a cover of Frank Sinatra's song In The Wee Small Hours Of The Morning. I agree, it's a wonderful cover he did :)

[PianoWizzy]

Okay, a minute before I watched this vid again I felt like I was going to pass out from exhaustion. Hearing his voice again made me want to pass out from his stunning and handsome deep singing voice. Ughh~ <3

[Zebonka]

I'm inspired.

[kalenen]

Why isnt she cast in a disney movie? she would be fakkin perfect for it

[kalenen]

When i heard Maude Maggart sing. it sent my soul dancing through the clouds.

[LordCarlSagan]

lol reload da phasers and go on

[alintas]

SIMPLY PHENOMENAL. Maggart and also Spiner, they are huge talents and absolutely spellbinding. I'm enthralled, enraptured. Why don't more people know about these two? Or do they? This is amazing. Best thing I've heard in years and I'm not even a follower of this genre... but "who could refrain that had a heart"... who could not be moved by this. I will follow this music.

[HerschelMatthews]

Maude is perfect!!!!

\I have never heard perfection before.

But there it is...

Maude... I love you.

[lilbrok69]

ha! he does play the piano I knew it! lol don't mind my randomness!

Glitch "Advisor to the Queen"

[electrohermit]

Wow, very nice

[LiveLoveObsess]

"We're here tonight to play a little song, do a little dance...Pour a little seltzer down your pants."

Hahaha, oh Brent. This video is so hilarious! <3

I recieved this album in the mail yesterday and just listened to it a short while ago, and I LOVE it! Absolutely brilliant. Maude is a wonderful singer, and of course Brent is all kinds of amazing. Love that man.

[LovingScrubbies]

@LiveLoveObsess

That's from the old Mary Tyler Moore Show, Chuckles the Clown

got killed by an elephant and at his funeral the recalled his philosophy.

"A little song, and little dance, a little seltzer down your pants".

Of course it is possible they took it from somebody earlier.

[Raea714]

My God this is a beautiful CD. Truly brilliant.

[HerschelMatthews]

I love STTNG...

But this is about Maud.

She has the most amazing voice I have ever heard.

& I'm old.

And watching her move as she sings at the end...

She is the sexiest woman I have ever seen...

I love you Maud.

& this album is great as well...



[HerschelMatthews]

Maude is ultimately sexy...

The way she moves when singing.

& she has a perfect singing voice.

I have NEVER heard THAT before.

One takes. WOW! Genius.

Again: "The way she moves when she sings... THAT IS SO HOT!"

Whew!!!

I gotta watch this again!

Thanks Maude.

[Tinchazo]

Brent you are THE BEST!! I really enjoy your songs and your site is great! Please continue like this!. Bye from Argentina!. Martin.

[BlueberryHearts]

I never thought I'd be so in love with a man's voice. Brent is so talented, and Maude is just so beautiful. Her vocals are 10 times better than 90% of the female singers out there.

[LovingScrubbies]

@BlueberryHearts

which proves popularity doesn't necessarily line up with quality.

[munchkinblowerupper]

all i can think about is data in his yellow uniform

[willisapril]

Maude please come to Boston or Worcester

[MetalKittyOTF]

Renaissance man Brent! Maude is awesome too! Thanks and take care.

[bigdaddyharry]

great album.

[helenfloripa]

Brent, I love the way you talk, I love the way you sing :)

[churchmousie]

She looks like Nancy Kerrigan.

[MeVanGold]

Hach, Brent has got such a beautyful voice Q Q

[Dellta88]

I want him.

[cindy7771]

I love this video she has a beautiful voiceit's pure

[noella7777]

how old is she?  She has alot of poise and class

[GardenOfImagination]

Brent Spiner was put on the Earth to introduce Maude Maggart to more people.

[tsukishime]

Brent + Mark + Maude= EPIC WIN!!

[lotusfae]

Maude is freakin' gorgeous!

[nerblebun]

I've always thought Brent Spiner was a terriffic actor but I didn't realize his talent was so complex. He picked the right people for this project. They were all amazing.

[LovingScrubbies]

@nerblebun

He sure is.

I know foremostly from Star Trek.

I'd like to see his direct films as an auteur.

His musical ability could fit into that too.

I loved him in Out To Sea.

[TheDrowWarrior1]

01:24  lmao

[whatneverlies]

I picked this up at the Vegas convention where Mr. Spiner was good enough to autograph it for me. I simply ADORE it! He chose fantastic songs and both Maggart and Spiner have beautiful voices. 5 stars!

[LilSecretNerd]

WARNING!

If listened though ipod on shuffle...in public, listeners have been known to suffer unexpected orgasms.

:P

Its that good! ;)

[Pohaku66]

She is Fiona Apples sister. Gods what a voice!

[temporaer11]

Brent Spiner is an excellent actor and he's a great singer. *sighs* I wish Hollywood could see his full potential. But i guess it will not happen (maybe in 50-100 years). Maude Maggart has an excellent voice. I think the same like jenlyn77. I love this video and I love the music. I would like to see the USS Enterprise-E or Enterprise-F. Star Trek needs a sequel.

[Revan1701E]

YES!!! They should! -waits patiently for the next 10 years...-

[LovingScrubbies]

@temporaer11

I want to see him direct films.

[jenlyn77]

What a beautiful classic sound she has!!! I can't believe she's not a huge star. She's amazing!!!

[WJfan1]

Can't wait to get the CD(mp3s really)!!

[iData86]

i think that i may have just fainted....his voice is fantastic! i adore that man

[tigercubgurlie]

yaysies!

[Zebonka]

Oh I really want a copy of this.

[Maphisto86]

Brent Spiner and Mark Hamill? My sci-fi, animated series, voice acting fan brain may just explode.

Actually that is pretty smart to hire Hamill as he is a voice acting God. I love Spiner's vocal talents, quite the singer and I wished I saw him in more voice acting roles.

[sabserab]

sry, it´s ment to be for "cynthiacher"s comment ;-p

[trekkicat]

he is so adorable

[cynthiacher]

I heard opposing viewpoints on him from various blogs and entertainment sites. There are people who describe him as being very nice and congenial to fans, and there are others who say he's arrogant and pompous and sarcastic. I used to think he was the former, but after hearing him on radio shows whining about how nobody will review this CD and expressing anger at criticism of it I'm now leaning towards the latter description.

[Simoneallen1]

I've heard opposing views as well and, despite having been an admirer of his for a long time, have had my doubts when I've seen cetain clips. But to decide that he isn't a nice guy is to dismiss the opinion of every other actor in TNG - and, after all, they actually know him. He's obviously very bright and, I think, he sometimes lacks people skills when it comes to dealing with people who aren't any way near as clever as he is (I'm not excusing it, just attempting to understand it.) :)

[cynthiacher]

I guess it's up to the individual to decide whether he's nice or not. When he's asked if he's anything like Data (he gets asked that a lot) he frequently says that he's a lot more like Lore than Data. Lore was definitely NOT nice. Some people think that when he says that he's joking but it's highly possible he's not.

[sabserab]

yeah, I came to the same conclusion before, that the joke is- that he´s not joking (hope u understand)^^but at least he doesn´t make fun of his fans like others do^^ I love him, his work, his acting, singing, humour... but sure he s.times acts a little "ego"- who cares, nobody´s perfect!

[sabserab]

don´t we all have both sides in us, too?! and Lore wasn´t "bad" he felt pain for beeing rejected by his father - hello- read his biography and look at pics of him and his "wife" he doesn´t seem happy at all...

[GambolingOlga]

Have I missed something really essential?

Since when he has had a "wife"?

I would surprised even to hear that he has a wife.

[sabserab]

that´s the only point where the rumors start^^ some say Loree is his wife, some say not. but after searching through some sites I think they are married

[Simoneallen1]

He's very guarded about his personal life but regardless of whether they are married or not he has a partner, Loree McBride, and a seven-year-old son named Jackson.

[cynthiacher]

Apparently Brent Spiner has a delicate ego, at least in connection with his magnum opus "Dreamland." He actually takes to heart comments on YouTube! In a radio interview he lashes out at anyone who dares make negative remarks about his cd, deriding their comments as "stupidity" and "dumb." I had no idea he's so full of himself, although I've heard tales of his diva-like behavior on various blogs and fansites. In that interview he sounded like a big, whiny baby.

[sabserab]

I´m so in love with his voice! His older Album "Ol´yellow eyes is back" is my favorite CD, and hearing it with headphones on..omg ***

[TaarnaGirl]

It's not available in Canada :*( But I really want to hear it!

[Simoneallen1]

I thought he was totally gorgeous when the next generation first aired when I was 13 - and if anything he looks better now! They both sing wonderfully.

[tigercubgurlie]

i was 3 in 1991, and everytime Data came on i'd stop whatever i was doing and stare at the tv. my sister who was 15 then was the one that had it on.

[Simoneallen1]

I'm the same age as your sister and admire her taste completely!

[tigercubgurlie]

yay!! i agree....or, as the 3 yr old in me would say: i agwee

[scottreiburn]

Jesus! For the love of music, MORE MAUDE MAGGART! She is extraordinary!

[tigercubgurlie]

i'm getting the cd!! *squeal!!!*

[TheDrowWarrior1]

Lol i love hearing Brent laughing at 36 secs, reminds me of one of my friends =D

[jabrownell]

Simply Beautiful! This is romance at it's best. Just sit back on a sofa and listen. It's only 50 minutes! I agree with the other posters that Brent Spiner has a magnificent voice (singing and speaking).

[bugleboy624]

Her voice is absolutely amazing! And Brent is hilarious.

[13darkjems]

This album is just wonderful. The writing is really tight -- funny, warm, and with layers that you only notice after several listens.

The directions to the restaurant are accurate!

[EnigmaComposer]

i wish they sold this in stores, cause i dont have a credit card =(

[Kiltedwolf]

Buy an iTunes card with cash. They're everywhere... like Staples, Best Buy, Walgreens, etc, etc...

[HighwayJoe]

The mixer talks about being surprised at the fact that they got songs down in one take, but, to me, that's just what I'd expect. Spiner was trained as a theatre actor first and foremost, so the notion of having only one shot at getting a good performance must be hard-wired into him by this point. There's no second-to-fifty-fourth take in theatre. You either hit the mark every night... or you don't.

[idgirl97]

Brent Spiner is a total DILF. And I beg to differ with him because HIS voice is the most beautiful voice ever.

[Kiltedwolf]

I agree. He's DILF and I'm a guy. =)

[RivaJane]

What's a DILF?

[SnarkLicker]

RivaJane: "Dad I'd Like To F***". And... yeah. Totally. And if I though for one second that I could actually look him in the face and keep even one iota of my shit together, I might even consider trying. XD

[DataLady91]

Totally agree with you! He's so handsome and funny, and he seems like a total sweetie. I meant to give this one a thumbs-up, but I accidentally clicked thumbs-down, dang it! Ah well - I can give you a double thumbs-up in this comment! Brent Spiner rocks!

[DataLady91]

And I mean on the singing and the fact that he's a handsome man - I personally wouldn't say DILF; don't wanna scare him!

[SnarkLicker]

DataLady: I'll say it. DILF. Hey, if I scare the crap out of him, we're even. XD

[jabrownell]

idgirl...I ABSOLUTELY AGREE!

[idgirl97]

Brent Spiner = hottest man alive

[Trioner]

Okay.. this may sound a little sick to some of you, and a little right on target to others, but in my very modest opinion, Mr. Brent Spiner is sill VERY good looking to me.

I don't know, maybe it's because I'm still head over heels for a younger him, but he is.. rather.. sexy to me.

[SnarkLicker]

I don't think that's odd at all.

[Indoctrinated227]

Brent Spiner IS rather sexy. It's okay, you aren't alone.

[jabrownell]

Hey, older men are always sexier! They're confident without being arrogant. They're comfortable with themselves. He absolutely sexy=)

[kauaihaole]

maude maggart is fiona apples sister for those who did not know that

[vera1989]

This album is superb!I`ve never heard anything like this........and the extra plus is that BRENT SPINER sings here!!!!!!!I`m impressed.

[Sambaliten]

I don't think Brent's die hard-fans are obsessed, but some of them are pretty close.

Anyways, it's a nice album.

I bought it because of the concept itself, not many records like this around these days.

And he'll probably sell tons, thanks to all his fans. But I'm sure he would prefer people buying it for the music and not just for him.

[archer1949]

Anyone else have anymore Maude Maggart videos? I love her!

[Jeph629]

Maude is fabulous!

Girlfriend, Michelle, and I caught up with her @ the ocean side Colony Hotel in Palm Beach last summer for an A++++ show second to none!! Those who say traditional Americana is passe are all wet! Maude swims with the best of them and with a sea of mediocrity out there, her voice and style rise above the din and into the heavens.

[SouthernWasp]

I agree!!!

I have seen her many times and will not miss one of her shows if possible.

She will be back at The Colony soon.

[MissSofa]

where can i actually find this cd?

[bigdaddyharry]

Why do people turn these comments into nasty little spats? Nothing better to do than come here repeatedly to spread the bad vibes? I personally think this looks interesting or at least refreshing. Not just another "standards album". At least somebody's thinking outside the box. And more power to him for having a great singer like Maude Maggart on board. I'm sure she wouldn't be involved if it weren't good. She's the real deal.

[SouthernWasp]

ALL of you are amazing....Please show more of Miss Maggart.

Merci.

[celticsaga]

this is an unusual 'behind the scene'

lol

[cynthiacher]

Spiner's fans seem rather...OBSESSED. He could have put out an album consisting of his burps and farts and they'd buy it.

[SnarkLicker]

cynthia: I don't know if you were meaning to be funny, but people who appear to be friendly to others for the sole purpose of drawing them in so they can hurt them need help. Regardless of whether you are a psychopath or not, I think you should know that engaging in that kind of activity makes you *look* just like one.

[cynthiacher]

I don't know what you mean: "people who appear to be friendly to others for the sole purpose of drawing them in so they can hurt them"? Are you kidding? I did nothing of the sort. I'm not trying to make friends with anybody here. I'm just commenting on an ill-advised musical trifle. If you think that's "psycho", well, I think you've got some fairly serious mental issues yourself.

[cynthiacher]

Look, if what I said offended you I apologize. But you were out of line calling me a psycho. There are plenty of them on YouTube, but I don't fall into that category. I'd say I'm merely opinionated. But that seems to set a lot of people off here, especially males. Well, I can't help it, I have strongly held views and I express them.

[saintelmoe]

Ummmmm, you obviously arent aware of his first cd LOL

[josiahsuarez]

Felis Cattus, is your taxonomic nomenclature,

an endothermic quadruped carnivorous by nature?

Your visual, olfactory and auditory senses

contribute to your hunting skills, and natural defenses.

I find myself intrigued by your subvocal oscillations,

a singular development of cat communications

that obviates your basic hedonistic predilection

for a rhythmic stroking of your fur, to demonstrate affection.

[Zebonka]

I disliked Brent Spiner before this.

Now I'm just annoyed with him.

[Gem4Karl]

Brent's voice is the only voice that makes me stop and completely relax..........dreamyyyyy....

[SnarkLicker]

His singing makes me laugh until I'm in danger of wetting my pants ("entertaining" doesn't always necessarily have to be "good"). But only sometimes. And the babies seem to like it. But I do want to get a copy of that "To Know You is To Love You" from this one, because it sounds like something my younger son would really like.

[Ellit61]

I absolutely love it! I love Btent's voice and they way he comes across in the video, and I also love everything else about it...YIKES!

I've been waiting for this since over twelve years...wooohoooo!

[deathbyblonde11]

Her voice is so lovely

[cynthiacher]

From watching this video it appears that Maude Maggart's voice completely overpowers Brent Spiner's, due to the way the songs are recorded. Her vocals are layered over his like spackle. Why did he want to bring Maude Maggart into this, anyway? Is he so insecure about his own singing ability that he brought her in to draw attention away from his own vocals? Whatever the reason, it was a mistake. "Dreamland" seems more like a Maude Maggart record than a Brent Spiner record.

[Piggylou]

Why doe this person continually come back to comment in the negative? If you don't like it go away, no one is forcing you to listen to this great work!

[cynthiacher]

This is by no stretch of the imagination a "great work". I'm actually a fan of Spiner's; I was looking forward to a new recording by him. I wanted to hear more of HIS singing. Instead he puts out a novelty cd that prominently features the vocals of a "cabaret" singer (I am not a fan of cabaret singers). This record is a major disappointment for me. I'm not buying it.

[SnarkLicker]

I don't think he's insecure cynthia. I don't think he would keep singing if he knew how "entertaining" it can be sometimes. :D I just think he's trying to be retro, except that the wayback machine in his head is perpetually stuck on 1932. Every time he gets in, that's where we all end up. Nineteen thirty freakin' two. Brent Spiner fans deal with it. Everyone else gets fed up after a minute and goes off after George Clooney. :D

[cynthiacher]

If he's not insecure about his own singing, why did he do everything on this CD to divert the listener from the sound of his voice? He doesn't make a straight CD of himself singing; he does some kind of 40's style radio play/audio film/concept album thing. It has Mark Hamill doing funny voices and the "brilliant, spectacular" Maude Maggart, whose vocal presence is equal to, if not surpassing his own. Why do many diversions from his own vocalizing? That's what I would like to know.

[GambolingOlga]

Why to make a straight CD if you can do something completely new?

He is inclined quite strongly towards acting so why not to do a radio play or "musical of mind" where he can sing and act?

What is really your problem cynthiacher?

[cynthiacher]

Just expressing my opinion. And this isn't "new"; it derives from the radio shows of a long gone era. Why would he think anybody would want to hear anything like that in this day and age? I don't get it. Did he really think this would be popular? I think what he came up with is just weird.

[GambolingOlga]

It is new to make a CD like a radio play.

Radio plays are those things that are played in radio.

[kittybirg]

@cynthiacher

There is a market for everything and anything, especially stuff that is well-done. Don't discount something's viability just because you, personally, may not "get it." True, radio plays (and audio productions in the same style) may not have held up as well in the present market as some things, but they are still popular and still valid.

[cynthiacher]

I "get" it. I just don't LIKE it. If I want to listen to music of this sort (and I DO like music from other eras) I will listen to music FROM that era, not a remake of it. Artists like Rod Stewart and Carly Simon and LInda Ronstadt have put out albums of old standards and I don't like them either. I'd rather hear them do what they're best at (rock, pop, country), instead trying to "croon." But I love Leon Redbone and all he does is interpret old songs. He's very good at it; most aren't.

[SnarkLicker]

*the entirety of the Brent Spiner Estrogen Brigade starts screaming hysterically* omigodnewcdwherecanibuyithowmu­chdoyouwantforit i'llpayanything... I will give him this - sotto voce is a definite improvement over that Ethel Merman/Judy Garland squawk he usually breaks into at the higher decibel levels (with notable exceptions - ppl who know me know what I'm talking about). He's definitely one fine daddy, though. :D

[cynthiacher]

@SnarkLicker "The Brent Spiner Estrogen Brigade." That's pretty funny. And totally accurate. His fans appear to be exclusively middle-aged women who think he's "hot."

[Raea714]

@cynthiacher Actually, I think most of us die-hard fans are young enough to be his granddaughters. And that's because he IS hot. :)

[cynthiacher]

@Raea714 Really? Why do you say that? I get the distinct impression that his fans are older women. Why would women young enough to be his granddaughter think he's "hot?" He's a very average looking 60-something year old guy, grey hair, bags under the eyes, etc. I thought he was semi-cute during the ST:TNG days but that was a LONG time ago.

[Raea714]

@cynthiacher Finding someone attractive is always a matter of taste. Personally, I think Brent has the whole package: looks, talent, intelligence, charisma, etc. I say most of his fans are young because if you search for Brent fan tributes here on YT or for fan websites and you look at the creator’s profiles, most of them are in their 20’s (like me, though just barely lol). I also feel he has gotten more attractive as he has aged. However, that is my taste and everyone has their own opinion.

[MetalKittyOTF]

@Raea714 Right ON Spinersistah! Brent has it all. His pure masculine charisma makes me quiver. I think his true fans range all ages. We celebrate everything he does because he does it so well.

[StMartyne]

Do androids dream?

[ecclaed]

Yes they can, with a dream program. :)

[Nottidredd]

felis cattus. is your taxonomic nomenclature, an endothermic quadruped carnivorous by nature?

[ecclaed]

You must talk to him; tell him that he is a good cat, and a pretty cat, and...

[rashedly]

i.will.feed.him.

(thank you for this)

[soupful]

Great to see Mark Hamill supplying his voice-over talent's to this project. Thank's for posting this interesting video.

[marybillmurray1985]

Very nice hair Mr Spiner!

[jefferyscottwines]

Bill and Jeff Love Love Love Maudie !

[KingofDApin]

OMG yessss!~~

[Kekzor1337]

Data *_*

[WheresMeLuckyCharms]

Why are we so down on the guy with the beard? Guy with the beard can come be in my shot, we'll even go have a round of shots, then maybe go get our flu shots. That's how much I'm about the beard guy and shots. Mr. Spiner has a very pleasant singing voice, but I bet the guy who played Lore is MUCH nicer. :>D

[tingtongtundy]

the one and only Maude Maggart....WOW!!

[meg293]

maude maggart is fiona apples sister

[MROSEN62]

No. Fiona Apple is Maude Maggart's sister.

[Anaclon]

Must it be a competition? Maude Maggart is a great singer and Fiona Apple is a great singer and composer too. They are both great at what they do, each in their own way.

[supervampy1]

Awesome!!!

[reneen1018]

She has a nice voice.

[RoxanaM73]

This is just GREAT work. Congrats !!

But don't you think is a little dark in there ? Oh I see... it's because we are in Dreamland LOL !

[cynthiacher]

I honesty don't think there's a wide audience for this, a "concept" album consisting of spoken dialogue and standards done in the style of the era in which they first appeared. I'm sure Brent Spiner's fans would be interested, which is why he'll be selling it at all the conventions.

[BrentSpiner47]

Brent has such a beautiful voice! I can't wait to get "Dreamland!"

[della888]

I'm really looking forward to listening to 'Dreamland'. The idea of creating an audio film is a brilliant idea! Based on what I've heard thus far, I think it's the sort of sophisticated entertainment that our society could use much more of. It's refreshing to see that the concept of traditional romance, *genuine* love and happiness still exist. Kudos to Mr. Spiner and all of whom collaborated to make 'Dreamland' possible!

[Piggylou]

What a terrific concept! Brent is a great singer, as is Maude This video is funnier than 99 percent of all the sitcoms this year! Love Mac!

[miezmiez2]

Love the video: more, more, more, please!

[gabluefox]

OHHHHH MYYYYYY!!!!! LOVE IT!

[mrslinsghost]

DREAMY MAN...
