Another Side of John Barrowman

[Rob McCow]

NB - sorry if this is old news, but I couldn't find another thread on it!
The man with fingers in more pies than Mr.Kipling has found another avenue to put himself over to the general public:

Another Side is a collection of songs that John has long admired and wanted to reinterpret in his own distinctive way. Across a number of musical genres, but predominantly sumptuous, streamlined pop, he lends his rich vocals to, amongst others, Cyndi Lauper's "Time After Time", Elton John's "Your Song", and Chicago's "If You Leave Me Now". His rendition of Billy Joel's "She's Always A Woman To Me" is velvet and sensuous, as is his heartfelt interpretation of "All Out of Love" .

Full Track Listing :

1.All Out Of Love
2.You're So Vain
3.She's Always A Woman
4.Time After Time
5.Weekend In New England
6.Every Little Thing She Does Is Magic
7.If You Leave Me Now
8.Your Song
9.Please Remember Me
10.Heaven
11.Being Alive
12.Feeling Good
13.All By Myself

The highly anticipated album Another Side releases in the UK on

November 12th out on Sony BMG. (Other release dates TBA)

The thought of him belting out 'Alll BYYYYY MYself!!! (Doctor why did you leave me behind?' fills me with dread!

Is he trying to muscle in on Michael Ball and Donny Osmond's traditional Christmas patch?

FIIIIIIIIIIIIGGGGGHHTT!!!

How did I manage to miss this popular thread earlier?

I'm losing it/getting too old.

Sorry!

[Pip Madeley]

It's going to be a Number One with a bullet...

[Pip Madeley]

He was on Strictly Come Dancing: Take Two a moment ago, singing The Police's 'Every Little Thing She Does Is Magic'. Ouch.

[Milky Tears]

He was on Wednesday's lottery draw murdering 'You're So Vain'. His hair is soooooo cooool! SQUEEEEEEEEE!!

[Pip Madeley]

He was on Wednesday's lottery draw murdering 'You're So Vain'.

Captain Jack's theme tune!

[Milky Tears]

He's also one of the Children in Need presenters:

Number 22 with a Bullet!

[WhiteCrow]

I saw him singing on Children In Need, and was blown away with just how very good he was. He really has a great voice, and let's face it after the Transformed Man, the Ballard of Bilbo Baggins, or Old Yellow Eyes Is Back, this is at least going to be a professional effort.

That said, how much makeup is he wearing on that album cover? Is he going all New Romantic on us?

[Simon R]

He is a great singer but I felt he over egged the omlette on Children In Need. It was very show offy which I suppose is fine but it wasn't really suited to that song.

The album's done really well though. I'm more interested in his autobiography which drops next year.

[WhiteCrow]

Now I have a big problem with autobiographies. To me they are something which should be written by people towards the end of their careers, not smack bang in the middle of it.

The trend for people to write them whilst still in their 20s seems ridiculous - I mean Jordan's already on Volume 2 of hers.

[P-Bal]

I'd be interested in his panties dropping.

[davethesailor]

I'm a fan of John's earlier work. I saw him years ago in the West End in Sunset Boulevard, and was blown away by his voice. In all honesty, I am disappointed by his latest album. It sounds very nice but I feel he is holding back vocally. I have his previous albums which I love more. If you can track down John singing "Why God Why" you will see what I mean.

[Pip Madeley]

And lots of Cher I taste in my mouth:

GAY Doctor Who star John Barrowman has revealed diva Cher once grabbed him for a SNOG.

John, 40, met Cher, 61, at a party in Los Angeles years ago – and she lunged at him.

He said: “If Cher is going to kiss you, you’re going to kiss her properly – if you’re gay, straight or whatever!”

Must've been a slow news day.

[Pip Madeley]

Sort of related:



I might get this, I bet it's fun listening to Barrowman talk non-stop for over two hours. It's also coincidentally the same duration as a train journey from Manchester to London.

[Simon R]

I've just read the book and enjoyed that so I'm sure him reading it is a worthy venture.

[P-Bal]

I have the album. Cheapo cheapo records.

[Si Hunt]

Who's Carole E. Barrowman? And why is she "E"? Is it to stop us getting confused by that other celebrity audio book producer Carole Barrowman?

Si.

[Dave Tudor]

There's a lot of them about, I imagine. This one is, apparently, his older sister:

It's him with a wig!

[Stuart Wallis]

Grief! she even sounds like him! Is there a secret factory under the Milennium Stadium making an army of Barrowmen as we speak?!

[Simon R]

There's a brother too somewhere.

[Simon R]

Here it comes again...



What About Us
From A Distance
You'll Think Of Me
I Made It Through The Rain
You Don't Have To Say
Right Here Waiting For You
Uptown Girl
Both Sides Now
Angel
I Know Him So Well
I Am What I Am
Cant Take My Eyes Off You

Some more covers and some new songs including one or more by Gary Barlow for those that like that sort of thing.

[Pip Madeley]

Apparently it's 1/3 pop, 1/3 musical theatre and 1/3 country. He's touring next year too.

[Simon R]

It's shit like this as to why we're not getting a full series of Torchwood.

Possibly.

Is it?

A seventh heaven? is it?
