Argh! These "YouTube-link-collection" threads continue to give my six-year old and by now doddering low-end notebook a high fever whenever I call them up. I can tell by holding my fingers near the ventilation exhaust grille; now that the pictures of the links have shown up, it has calmed down again. 🥵

A bit of vintage Rush pre Neil Peart. John Rutsey was a good drummer but he wasn't healthy enough to do the long tour of the USA and Canada....

"Rutsey proceeded to miss a string of dates in 1974. We knew early on that John had problems with his health," guitarist Alex Lifeson told Louder Sound in 2016. "He had diabetes, and he was very concerned about whether it would be manageable for him on the road. We used another drummer, Jerry Fielding, and then John came back for a month of club shows. But that was it for John. We had to fire him. Neil joined us in August."

... and as they say.... 'the rest is history'.

Loving this beautiful mix/cover!

A power trio, and some good stuff!
But I did go "waaaaaitaminit, did they speed up the video?" when Geddy Lee started to sing. OK, no, Heavy Metal falsetto or so. But after having listened to about 15 minutes, his voice started getting monotonous. Ian Gillian in his work with Deep Purple seems to show quite a bit more range (but then I do own 22 Deep Purple albums, so it's a very lop-sided comparison).

The singer has an awesome voice, no question. But the version does not even come close to holding a candle to the original. Maybe some Rock songs just do not translate into other genres.

Temaso.

My wife and I watch the Masked Singer US version being from the US. I was bored so started finding performances from other countries and found this one if the German Masked Singer. This performance is hilarious. This is Bülent Ceylan, not that I know who that is.

This guy, Max Mutzke, won and has a really nice voice.

And just for a taste of the American version, Wayne Brady won. Highly deserved!

 

[Squint-eyed Southerner]

Interesting. Olorgando and I were discussing the show. It originated in Korea -- the US producer happened to see it on TV while eating in a restaurant in Thailand, and secured the rights.

Kim Boa, along with other members of Spica, appeared on the Korean version:

I take it only one of the "judges" recognized her soulful voice:

And they did worse with the other members, which shows just how shamefully under-appreciated these talented ladies were over there, leading finally to their disbandment. Drat.

 

[Squint-eyed Southerner]

Anyone should be able to guess who this is from the first note:

Or if not from the voice, then from the thighs. 🥵

If you can't, you haven't been following my posts. In which case --BOO! 😡

 

[Erestor Arcamen]

Yeah we watched the first two seasons as they aired and then when I was bored yesterday after work I was watching some of the German and SK episodes. They're really entertaining.

Both names ring only the dimmest of bells, and I haven't the foggiest notion of the kind of music they make.
The show ran on the, by ratings, channel two (not so named) of one of the two private TV conglomerates.
Neither my wife nor I ever, or at least rarely, watch anything of theirs. After a channel search a few months ago made necessary due to some additions, deletions and channel switches, I laboriously re-sorted the result so that the first 19 slots are taken by public TV channels, and slots 20 to 54 are given to the private bunch, including a handful of 24/7 teleshopping channels.

Other Spica members on Masked Singer; Bohyung's power:

Jiwon's emotion:

And for those who don't remember what could happen when they were all together, a couple of reminders:

I swear, I'll convert some of you to Kpop yet!

Going back to 1964 for The Animals take on an old classic blues song. It was they who gender-swapped the protagonist.

Don't believe I knew about this swap. But considering the earlier 1960s (things only became really raucous and raunchy in the 1970s in media, when the suits realized there was serious money to be made with this) it seems logical. "Dude" being a patron of a brothel was far more acceptable than "chick" working there ...
