XANADU OBCR - Release Party Thread! — Page 6

BTW- I just ordered 6 copies of the Xanadu OBCR to my friends for Christmas and of course I will post their pics holding the OBCR here

because I like it and they love the show...why not?

Edit : Okay ..not clear..

Why ? Am I buying it as a gift?

or Why I am posting their pics?

Personally.. I dont find it awful bec. I love the show and I can imagine myself singing, I'm Alive with my muse outfit...LOL ! its personal preference...

Same thing as to why you and me love Madonna ..no matter what?

I guess.. i am just a loyal fan.

I bought 4 copies for friends & they all love it as much as I do.
I dk about "Young Frankenstein"... I thought the music in the show was just silly. If somebody gave me the OBCR for that I'd definitely exchange or re-gift it.

Anyone know how long it usually takes PS Classics to ship?

I want to order them now so they can be shipped tomorrow and hopefully arrive in time for Christmas... is it possible?

Crucify me if you must, but I have to agree with the other posts about the OBCR not being up to par. I haven't seen the show yet, will be on 12/29, but listening to a selection of the OBCR made me want to sell my ticket. I'm glad people have posted that the actual live show is much much better. If you go to the Xanadu site, xanaduonbroadway.com, I believe Olivia Newton John's version of "Xanadu" plays. Why is this version still playing if the OBCR has been recorded/released? I just feel like Kerry's version of the song sounds more of a mockery than an homage to the source material.

On a positive note, Cheyenne does sound fantastic.

I don't see why some people don't like it. I think it totally captures the spirit of the show.

I ordered my copy of XANDADU last Tuesday...which means it should have shipped last Wednesday...which was ONE WEEK ago!!! Where is it?

Should I be worried...?

As much as I hate to admit it when I'm wrong, I have to say that the OBCR is really growing on me and I like it a million times more than when I initially heard it. My advice is to give it a few spins and then make up your mind. The only thing that still irks me is Kerry's first two lines in "Suddenly". It sounds like shes coughing up a hair ball. I havent seen the show so I dont know if this is intentional for the scene - if it conjures up a laugh or something but I'm learning to live with it. Is she even saying words in this part? If so, I cant seem to make them out. Regardless, I cant wait to see it 12/29.
