The last CD I payed that much for was a two disc edition of "The Joshua Tree" by U2. And they make really good music. No offense to Adam, but I don't think this CD can top them (or even equal them).
It's tomorrow and Tuesday.
ETA: And by "it" I'm referring to the Chess performances.

reviews are starting to come in on the west end board....They were filming tonight so that makes me hopeful....
Poking my head in for a moment...
I've followed the Chess situation a bit and found a page with some reviews. As elsewhere there are a lot of complaints about the sound quality, but overall Adam got some very good reviews. Apparently he pulled off Pity the Child excellently again.
Chess Reviews
Chloe! How you been?
Of all shows that I have wanted to be filmed, this is on the top of my list, so that makes me happy. Glad to see it's getting some good reviews as well.
I was at chess last night (OMG fangirl squeel ect ect) and Adam was incredible. I can now die a very happy girl after seeing him live.
Also, Adam is the only person who could pull of a tux jacket with trainers. On him it looked amazing.
The only problem is, now i want to see him again!! I'm so uneasy to please.
Aww, yay! Tell us more!

The Josh fan club are terrifying, terrrrrriiiifying people. They scared me beyond belief, take Idina fangirls (or deeny-boppers, if you will) age them, and multiply, thats what these people were like.
I'm of course not saying they're all like that! Just the ones i saw.
Anyway, concert was amazing (ruined somewhat by Ms. Menzels performance, the less said about that the better) Adam looked absolutley stunning in person, and he's just as cute as i imagined. Oh yeah..talent wise? He was perfect. He has to battle against some pretty crappy sound issues and still came out on top. His Pity The Child and the reprise made the show (along with every time Kerry Ellis opened her mouth) And he did this dance in 'One Night In Bankok' that was the cutest thing I've ever seen! It's like that part was written for him.
I posted a mini-review of the concert overall on the west end section of the site :)
adam + dancing = complete entertainment
It sounds like it was great! Kerry Ellis has a really pretty voice. And I agree, Freddie really is a perfect part for him.

Ooh, yay!
This is so dangerous for my final that's in two hours.
Wow, and I thought the "they let fly" gesture was campy back in '03!
This just made my day.
(Good luck on your final Emcee)
Oh, thank you. I haven't studied enough at all (I'm so exhausted), but this is my last one and I really just have to pass it...

Hey Chloe! How are you?
It's good that Adam's been getting good reviews. It's nice to see him doing something new.

I like what they did with them at certain moments, but not in others. And a lot of the stuff is awfully slow in comparison to the Actors Fund version.
So, is that video not working anymore...or is it just me?
The orchestrations not as epic at points as it was for the actors guild, especially the first 'Pity The Child' I was a bit dissapointed, as i loved the way Adam sang the end, but it was taken very softly, which worked too, but i liked the other way better.

How big was the orchestra? It's hard to tell from listening.
Ok, it's working now, thank god!
That was quite tragic.
