I give ABBA a pass, because really, they were pretty well - crafted pop songs with really, really strong vocal harmonies.
But MAMMA MIA? Really? :wtf: :naughty:

Sadness - great tune been on a playlist of mine since napster days. Check out Silence featuring Sarah McLachlan by Delerium similar and good.
Well, I was really just the driver to and from the show, but I had to do something during the show. So, I sat down and watched it.

Sara Hickman. Alannah Myles. Wilson Phillips. Andreas Vollenweider.
Man, you'd love the show I saw tonight....and last Thursday.
(Someone in the house is a fan and I need to go to make sure the panties stay where they belong. She's got two sweaty silk scarves... *facepalm* )
Return to Grace at the Fallsview Casino. I'll get a link in a sec.
The voice is right on the money. You could close your eyes and not know if it was this guy or a record...except he does mix it up a bit much like you'd expect in a live performance.
I'd say the look is about 95%. There are times in the show when a facial expression kinda blows the illusion, but honestly, it's so damn close (my experience of the real deal is all TV, though)
He's from Milton, ON too.
When you look like this, are you going to just dig ditches for a living?
Here's a video - if it loads (good videos of this guy are tough to find..)

The musicians were great,too.
17 musicians, 6 dancing girls, a narrator, and 8 back-up singers.
If nothing else, he's keeping people working.

Well, the real guy drove a truck for a while...
I've heard of this guy, he does a real good job on the voice.

Elvis Presley never really did much for me. As good as he may have been, it his stuff was too premanufactured, formulaic product for me.
But one of his contemporaries, Johnny Cash......that's a whole 'nuther story.
Toured Sun Studios while in Memphis last year. And while most of the blue heairs there were making a big deal over Elvis, I stood in the spot that Johnny Cash first recorded Folsom Prison Blues. I later texted a friend that it was as close as I would ever get to a religious experience.... Memphis was heaven, and Sun Studios was the church.

That's very cool!
For me, most of the stuff I like about Elvis' music has more to do with Scotty Moore.

Being a musician, I've got respect for a pretty wide range of musical genes, I even have "Swass", the Sir-Mix-Alot cassette in my collection. But that's about as far as it goes for Rap music aside from a couple things Will Smith did back in his day. I saw Neil Diamond mentioned, and I'm not afraid to say I've been to 2 of his shows (mind you this was back in the '70s) and they weren't what you might think. They were loud and they rocked, not like the stuff he does now. But I'll still listen to anything he did back then, any day.
Old country also appeals to me, stuff like Kenny Rogers, Tammy Wynette, Buck Owens, Jerry Reed is still among my all-time favorites. There's also one that Juice Newton did called "Queen of Hearts" that I'm crazy about. I'm not into alot of the country that's coming out now, though. Alot of it sounds like pop-music with a fiddle thrown in behind it, But I do like Brooks & Dunn and have been to a couple of their shows as well.
As far as modern goes, there's The Eurythmics, the aforementioned Toto...to name a few.

Nice!! Hurt still brings a tear to my eye, no matter how many times I hear it.

Well, for the most part, those three guys didn't buy into the corporate nose - sangin' pop music thing that is what most people are talking about when they say "country music."
Personally can't get over Willie's vocals long enough to listen to much of his music - even though some of it is pretty well-written.

Nothing to feel guilty about there.
Those three guys did everything their way and pretty much refused to follow any formula. Out of the three only Waymore could be considered "country" to any extent and even then, his music stood out from the whiny/twangy,cheatin'/ stuff that was considered country music. Waylon had a rock driven sound that was a carryover from his days with Buddy Holly.
Johnny Cash was an original. There is no way to catagorize him or his music. Not a great singer, guitar player, song writer or performer, he had that something that only the great ones have. I honestly can't think of anyone who ever told me that they didn't like Johnny Cash.

That pretty much covers it....
