I'm still trying to figure out how they did the whale spouts and tails. Were they really coming out of the floor, or was that an optical illusion?<br /><br />TheresaEdittorrenthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14295505709568570553noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6824896765631412903.post-25009695659130539342010-02-13T11:02:57.280-06:002010-02-13T11:02:57.280-06:00I thought it was all wonderful.

I have never heard Leonard Cohen's version. The tap danacing, the totem poles and especially the whales. And all of it tinged with sadness. And now the rain won't stop.Yvonne Osbornehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18212188414972694795noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6824896765631412903.post-65224557890783051972010-02-13T09:31:19.352-06:002010-02-13T09:31:19.352-06:00Alicia, it's not just Riverdance.

If ever there was a tap dancing spectacle custom tailored to my tastes, that was it right there.

I'm recording it and will watch it tomorrow -- we're not even up to the KD performance yet. <br /><br />But have you seen this performance by her? My favorite part is at the end where she and Leonard have a moment, a REAL moment. It's just so lovely. Enjoy. <br /><br />http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YYiMJ2bC65ARachael Herronhttp://yarnagogo.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6824896765631412903.post-38783509613070289902010-02-12T23:31:39.976-06:002010-02-12T23:31:39.976-06:00I missed the Riverdance thing!
That hymn. Well. ...I missed the Riverdance thing! <br /><br />That hymn. Well. It's like a college's alma mater. You know it's only tradition that keeps this song being sung.<br /><br />But Hallelujah is a fabulous song. What's great is to compare the many covers. (Musicians love covering it.) <br /><br />I'll have to youtube for the Riverdance.<br /><br />Okay. I admit it. I like Riverdance.<br /><br />And Donald Sutherland!!! I heart him. I want him to adopt me. <br /><br />Hmm. But that means I'd have Jack Bauer as a brother, and ... no.<br />AliciaEdittorrenthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14295505709568570553noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6824896765631412903.post-43151089378466409102010-02-12T23:22:16.306-06:002010-02-12T23:22:16.306-06:00What, you didn't like Riverdance on a tower of...What, you didn't like Riverdance on a tower of maple leaves?

My dad's summation of the Hallelujah song: "Great voice. Horseshit song." But what he had to say about that opera thing, that isn't fit to write. And considering our broad tolerance for bad language on this blog, that ought to tell you how much he loves opera. <br /><br />Other than that, we were all universally dazzled. What a great night. I want some of those fire shoes. <br /><br />TheresaEdittorrenthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14295505709568570553noreply@blogger.com
