Just got through disk one.

I have a really hard time saying that I think Adam sounds "better" or "worse." It's just different. He still sounds like Adam.

I think Taye actually sounds better now than he did on the OBCR. He has less singing, but he is actually singing. On much of the OBCR, he seems to almost speak half of his songs.

His voice seems to have gotten better.

I still hate the line "think twice before you pooh-pooh it" in You'll See. I keep wanting to change it to "think twice before you refuse it".

LVB sounds really... rock-ish. I love it! I kind of want to dance to it now.

Is the "and Maureen Johnson will.... in the eleventh street lot..." line missing, or did I go nuts?

Are they in a different order or something? Maybe I'm losing my mind.

Without You gave me chills.

I think someone will have to sit down with the lyrics from the OBCR and the Soundtrack to compare and contrast.

Some things have been moved around a bit.

What You Own sounds wonderful.

I'm sort of figuring on the fact that this day could've rolled around with me grumbling angry words and not bothering to buy the CD, and I'm laughing, in a "wow, I was stupid" sort of way. Thanks to those responsible for the conversion.

why is it so hard to find it in stores!!!!!?

(Martha Graham from a letter to Agnes de Mille) "There is a vitality, a life force, a quickening That is translated through you into action, And because there is only one of you in all time, This expression is unique. If you block it, It will never exist through any other medium And be lost. The world will never have it. It is not your business to determine how good it is, Nor how valuable it is, Nor how it compares with other expressions. It is your business to keep it yours, clearly and directly, To keep the channel open. You do not even have to believe in yourself or your work. You have to keep open and aware Directly to the urges that motivate you. Keep the channel open. No artist is pleased. There is no satisfaction whatever at any time. There is only a queer, divine dissatisfaction, A blessed unrest that keeps us marching And makes us more alive than others."

You NYers have ravaged Virgin Megastore. There were barely any copies left when I was just there. Only "Joanne" was available, LOL.

I love it. I was really worried when the initial 5 clips were released, but now that I've heard the whole thing, I really love it. :)

Did anyone else get chills during the Mark/Roger 'fight' in Goodbye Love? I really like how Mark is talking directly to Roger now too.

I'm really excited to see how fast it's selling. I wonder how it'll chart next week.
