I want to congratulate myself on my self-control in not yelling at some people on the Jane board who actually had the nerve to refer to James' portrayal of Rochester as sometimes, and I quote, passionless.
I like to think of myself as a person who has the ability to see all sides of an issue. I do try to investigate the varying opinions on a subject and then make a judgement for myself.
But my friends, there are some things that are just....they are just beyond....well, you know what I'm trying to say here!!!
I mean really!!!
PASSIONLESS????????
PASSIONLESS!!!!!!!!
GOOD GRIEF, PEOPLE!!!!
That's like saying that George Bush's accent sounds like he's from the Bronx!!!
Or that Bach and Mozart couldn't compose music!!!
Or that Vermeer didn't understand color and light!!!
Or that David didn't kill Goliath!!!
Am I making my point?
Someone in the discussion said that they feel that James holds back sometimes.
I totally agree, if we are talking about the cast recording.
That's one thing that is very annoying. You put the guy in a studio and it's like tying up a wild horse and expecting him to run a mile in 30 seconds. It just doesn't work.
Now in a live situation, the man practically blows off your eyebrows with the power in his voice. Michael is kind of the same way.
This is something that I can only chalk up to the fact that some people are merely singers and others are performers who sing.
Steven Curtis Chapman, for example, basically sounds the same live as he does on a recording.
So, I didn't say anything.
Aren't your proud of me?
Because I know he is great and he definitely knows he is great.
So that's that.
*grin*
And if we agreed on everything all the time, we could be living in a world with only one kind of cookie, and that would be the real tragedy.
