Emcee's CHITTY CHITTY BANG BANG review — Page 3

Michael Ball has one of the most glorious voices in musical theatre - on both sides of the pond.

People naturally have personal preferences, but I think we cannot ignore that Michael has a real natural gift in his beautiful singing voice. Andrew Lloyd Webber himself called Michael the best male singing voice he has ever heard and that he sounded like an untrained Pavarotti, when they first worked together years back ( Phantom, Aspects) and continues to express such admiration up to now ( Woman in White).

I loved his version of HUSHABYE MOUNTAIN onstage and in the London CD.

However, it doesn't mean that I am not also looking forward to hear Raul singing the same song when I see the Broadway version.

"Michael has a beautiful voice. Absolutely.

I'm just a little... well, no, VERY partial. "

Certainly understandable I really love Michael's rendition of Hushabye Mountan, but that song will always be significant to me as it was the song that made me a Michael Ball fan.

Hopefully, Emcee, you'll get to hear Michael's voice as Count Fosco one day in the near future...

Emcee... a lovely review.... Im glad you enjoyed it.
