Stars in your eyes

Yes, ok I admit I've been watching it.

But it got me thinking who would I be if I was ever on it. Dolly Parton would be close to the top of my list but I think my southern twang would be best put to use with Don't it make my brown eyes blue by Crystal Gayle - and how fitting that would be?

Oh, apart from the fact that I have blue eyes - never mind, I can't sing either!

So who would you be?

I think I would be Jim Reeves, although I don't look a bit like him, I have sung a number of his songs in Karaoke bars here and abroad and I am told I sound like him.

No, just past my shoulders but I could wear a wig. Nothing I can do to sort out the blue eyes and the terrible singing voice.

Tinkerbelle · 09-04-2006, 15:14

I'd have to be Bjork because she can't sing either

SPUGGIE J · 09-04-2006, 17:00

Tinks it would have to be a duet;

FAIRY and PIXIE

Live at a club near you Easter Saturday.

Just watching a profile on Dusty Springfield, always wished I could sing like that .. hey, seems she was gay

Never knew that, puts a whole new light on her doesn't it ? Know it shouldn't, but can't help looking at her differently somehow.

grannyclaret · 09-04-2006, 22:34

i just watched the start,, i am taping it... yes she was gay,and had a real problem with it... it was not the thing to be in the 60's..
as a singer i think she was fantastic..

Yes, she was fabulous, but now listen to the lyrics in her songs in an entirely different way >> always thought about her singing to a man, and would link my thoughts to these lyrics when I was madly in love with some fella' (as we do), but now all ruined for me.

A bit like Will Young really .. has had some lovely love songs written for him, but well all a little tongue in cheek... he isn't singing to any young voluptuous woman, is he ?

Anyway, would still like to do her on Stars if only I could sing like that, but would definitely have some fella in mind... tee hee.

I watched it too. Brilliant programme.

Ive loved her music since I was three, when my aunt used to play me her records.

Diva, a wonderful voice and a tortured soul.

I have been known to belt out 'Son of a Preacherman'- but sound rather more like Paul Robeson that Dusty.

grannyclaret · 09-04-2006, 23:08

I have a page full of her songs on i tunes.my favourites at the moment are spookey ,and some of your loving...i am listening to her now

I've got Dusty on too.

'Wishin' 'n' Hoping.'

We'll get told off for thread wandering and starting a Dusty fanclub.
