You get on my good side.

Nah, kidding. I'm assuming you *can* buy it, but someone gave it to me. Check your PM's.

He sounds like Kermit the Frog. The Brazilian Bobby has a pretty voice, though.

He sounds like Kermit the Frog.

That is exactly what I said out loud the first time I heard it!

My favorite Bobby didn't get a cast album, but of the released CDs my fave would be Boyd Gaines, though that may change after I listen to Raúl's version a few times.

I'd like to hear it in German. I heard AIDA in German once, and it was surprisingly kind of beautiful.

Doyle's production is the only one I've seen, too, and I also have a huge bias toward it. I picked up the original before seeing it to famliarize myself with the score prior to taking the trip, after being confused by Sweeney when I saw it and was not familiar with the score. Of course, Company is, IMO, much less confusing than Sweeney, but I thought it could only help. I was pretty young when the other revival happened, so I didn't see it. There are songs on each one of the recordings that I particularly like, but I rarely listen to them all the way through. I actually don't like Boyd Gaines all that much. Raúl's Being Alive is the only one of actors who have played Bobby that I've been exposed that I listen to relatively often, but I also really Stokes' version from his solo CD.

Didn't Audra record the song? I'm not finding it on iTunes, so I might be crazy, but I thought I read that somewhere.

I have never heard of her doing it, but perhaps she did it in concert at some point in time? She has never recorded it, unless it is a bootleg recording.

...why does that intrigue me so much? Now I really do have to find that.

"Being Alive" is just gorgeous. My personal favorite renditions include those done by Bernadette Peters, Patti LuPone, Anthony Warlow, Brian Stokes Mitchell and, of course, Raúl.

I can't even tell you how thrilled I am that they're recording the book scene with Bobby and Joanne. That's one of the most breathtaking parts of the show, and I hadn't even dreamed that they'd have it on the recording. I can't wait!

Is that infamous, "Stop!" going to be on the recording, do we think?

Now here's the question. If I order it online on Feb 6, will I get it feb 13? Because if it wont come by Feb 13, I'll just get it in stores that day.

Sound clips!!
