Rien Dans Les Poches - Bratsch

Advantages: Her voice, her love for beautiful words.
Disadvantages: ...Not commercial enough?!!

...bien le soleil Puisque tout tourne autour d'elle Petite merveille Pas si facile D'être aussi pure dans un monde qu'il est moins Mille et une symphonies Qu'elle inventera en un rien Enfin le bonheur C'est toutes les couleurs De son cœur..." ----------Requiem pour un con---------- Another tribute to Gainsbourg. A great song, he talks to a man he calls a jerk who died, he says that this is a song he made for him, a requiem for the jerk he was. Great rythm and once more a very good version from miss Paradis. "Écoute les orgues Elles jouent pour toi Il est terrible cet air-là J'espère que tu aimes C'est assez beau non C'est le requiem pour un con Je l'ai composé spécialement pour toi À ta mémoire de scélérat C'est un joli thème, Tu ne trouves pas, non Semblable à toi-même Pauvre con..." ----------Que fait la vie...

Advantages: Pleasant pop music
Disadvantages: Some dodgy vocals, a few lacklustre numbers

...interesting music and pleasing melodies. That the tracks are quite varied in terms of style is the saving grace of "Comme si de rien n'etait" (it translates as "As if nothing had happened") because Carla Bruni just doesn't have the talent to get away with a whole album of the typical French ingénue songs that singers like Francoise Hardy or Jane Birkin could manage. This album is by no means perfect but it is highly listenable and I would recommend it as an interesting diversion that might just change your opinion of French pop. 1. Ma jeunesse 2.

Advantages: Heart-moving, passionate, tear-jerking
Disadvantages: Buying wine spritzers!!

...I went to Les Miserables last year and can say without doubt in my opinion, this is the most wonderful musical I have heard of. I am basing that on the fact that this was a full house matinee performance which included stunning acts and sets. I had never seen this show prior to going but having previously heard songs from it, I had already began to fall in love with it. We had wonderful seats in the middle of the dress circle (which cost in the region of £40 each for the two of us, a total of £80. Prior to the film starting we sat down and also had a couple of wine spritzers which cost in the region of £5 each - I wondered if this was going to be value for money?? The show was being viewed at the The Palace Theatre. We took our seats for a film that was going to last almost 3 hours! The film is about the French revolution, love... Read review
