American pop is really catchy and fun. But kinda temporal. British pop, on the other hand, is smoother, and I guess more old school in a way. And it really infects you (me). A little less upbeat but mellow. It's the type of music I'll wanna listen to on a rainy day when I need good music most.
Happened to catch Take That Live @ O2 new year's eve concert on channel 5 this evening and zomg I have never ever realised they are so brilliantly good! The way they harmonize makes me melt. Charming much. And they sound very awesome live! Not that I was there to watch them in action, but then the tv recording of it was really well done. I personally do not prefer live music over recorded ones but Take That is honestly, honestly the first band I find so charming performing live and I even think their voice live beats the recorded version I get over YouTube! Plus the choreography of their dances and all the amazing tech tricks they use were like wow. So charismatic, really ^_^
And I think I like Howard Donald best from the band. He looks so suave and I think I'll totally swoon at the sight of him if I ever get to see him. But it's such a pity that like many other famous stars, his personal life isn't as pretty as I wished it could have been. Will definitely give him a hundred brownie points for being a perfect dad/husband but I don't really get that impression from what I read off the net. Haha, ok evidently, I spent my night learning about the band x)
Too bad I didn't finish watching the recorded concert before heading out for dinner. Maybe I can watch it again another time :)
I think this has been a really emotionally/opinions charged post and probably the longest in a while. The power of music! ♥
Yeah, you and me can ride on a star
If you stay with me, girl, we can rule the world
