Advantages: Full Concert & Lots of Extras Disadvantages: NONE
This is an EXCELLENT DVD, and an excellent example of the quintessential ShirleyBassey. She proves once again that she's the best female vocalist in the last 50 years. Miss Bassey looks physically fit in the video, and much younger than her years. (She's 60 in this video) She's energetic and playful, and her voice just keeps getting better. When you see her do "Big Spender", "Kiss Me Honey Honey Kiss Me", and hear her belt out "I Am What I Am", you realize that Dame Bassey is one grandmother that ISN'T sitting at home knitting and baking cookies! I highly recommend this video for people that are just becoming familiar with ShirleyBasseys phenominal talent, and for collectors as well. There's also a lot of behind the scenes extras, and the making of the "History Repeating" music video with the Propellerheads. ...
Advantages: Some no. 1 Hits Disadvantages: You have to be a fan to appreciate
AndrewLloydWebbers hits and gives an interesting blog about the origins of the hits. Many of the songs are sung by famous names such as David Essex, Elaine Page, Maddona and Barbara Streisand. There is also a surprise feature of Boyzone singing No Matter What on track 19.
In fact I was so impressed I am going home to listen to it again. ...
Advantages: Insights into the true characters of Emily and Anne Bronte Disadvantages: Not an easy read
"Shirley" by Charlotte Bronte.
Penguin Classics. ISBN 0-14-043095-4
This is a gem of a book, written just after Jane Eyre and set in the time of the Napoleonic Wars, it is one of Charlotte Bronte's best.
It follows the fortunes of two women Caroline Helstone and Shirley Keeldar and their involvement with the Moore brothers. These relationships are set against the politics of England and the Continent at the time of the Luddite uprisings and Napoleonic wars respectively. In that respect Shirley has a farther reach as a novel than some of Charlotte Bronte's other more personal novels such as Jane Eyre.
It is particularly interesting as a literary piece because there is some evidence that the two principle female characters are based on Charlotte's two sisters Anne and Emily and as such give the reader some insight into what ...

Album Notes
Not everyone is a fan of Andrew Lloyd Webber's grandiose musicals. But in SHIRLEY BASSEY SINGS THE SONGS OF ANDREW LLOYD WEBBER, Bassey's booming delivery suits Lloyd Webber's particular brand of over the top melodrama to a fare-thee-well. For unreconstructed Lloyd Webber fans, her versions of cabaret standards like "Memory," "I Don't Know How to Love Him," "Don't Cry for Me Argentina," and "Wishing You Were Somehow Here Again," are pretty close to definitive.
