I have to tell you the ballettes would be so envious with me
sitting here almost knee to knee with Michael Ball. |
M |
(laughing) We can make it knee to knee Gloria. |
G |
Almost, almost. I've just been watching the rehearsals so
this must be pretty gruelly. Just getting tighter. |
M |
Yeah, I've been singing for six and a half hours. You can
hear it on the voice. Excuse me, if I croak a bit. |
G |
You are allowed to croak through all of this. |
M |
Thank you. |
G |
Now listen. You changed a lot of the songs coming up to the
tour itself. |
M |
Yeah |
G |
So obviously you kind of were changing a bit. So why was
that? |
M |
Uhm, I sort of had a basic idea, what I wanted to do. I've
got a new band. New material to pick from the different albums I have done.
Whereas in previous shows I haven't had my own catalogue of stuff. It's
what I always wanted to do is get the songs that are more associated with
me rather than with other artists I am covering. So now that I got my own
catalogue, if you like, it's choosing which ones will fit into the show as
long as, as well as doing songs from shows that I still like to do and
great pop songs that I like to do. so, it's finding a good balance and
getting .... it's like doing a musical. It's finding a good beginning, a
through line taking you right to the end. So it's getting you the ups and
downs and the ebs and flows of the music market. |
