Conference mr1pst::music

    
    
    
    Hey, if you catch this show, look for me.  I'll be in the balcony,
    trying to adjust the collar on my tux so that I can breathe...
    
    The final ballot hasn't arrived yet, but if anyone's interested in the
    nominees in any particular category I can post them here...
    
    

    
    I, for one, will look for you John. And you have to write everything
    about it, in here, the very next morning. So try to stay sober. We
    expect a long reply with all the details, the things we don't see
    on the tv screens.
    
    I hope you have a great time, I know you'll have a great time.

    The nominees in each catagory were in the Globe this morning.
    
    In a nutshell the Grammies are not about excellence or innovation in
    music.  They're about promoting record sales.  The nominees are all
    members of the in-crowd (some are new members, like Mary Chapin
    Carpenter).  Don't look to the Grammies to uncover and encourage new
    talent or break new ground.  They're there for the club to stage itself
    a self serving extravaganza.  
    
    The best thing anyone in this conference can do to promote good music
    in regard to the Grammies is to boycot it.

    note .4 is incorrect.  There are catagories and nominees for classical,
    folk and maybe a couple other genre.  Though having 30 catagories of
    rock, R&B and Rap and one or two for the rest of the musical spectrum
    is indicative of the sad state of the grammies.
    
    

Lighten up.

    
    
    
    Well, you know, everyone's got a right to an opinion.  But you can't
    boycott the major events in your business - otherwise your views don't
    get represented at all, do they?  I mean, if you want to change things,
    you gotta get in there.  Just think what would've happened if the
    outsiders just sat around & cried about how the Republicans can't
    dance: we'd be facing 4 more years of Lawrence Welk...
    
    And to Ms. E...  thank you for your support!
    

    
    
    I am not going to boycott anything Sinead O'Connor boycotts.
    
    Every year I find out about new artists and new music while
    watching the Grammy. If I find out about a new album and go and 
    buy it, who gets hurt ? Of course there is record promotion.
    
    It is as commercialized as anything else (look at christmas).
    For me it is a nice and original entertainment that happens
    once a year where I get to catch a glimpse of a few of my
    favourite performers and find out about a few others. Not to
    mention the "he won" excitement for the performers I support.
    
    Looking forward to it.

  Last time I checked, the people staging the Grammies never pretended they
  were anything other than "music industry" awards -- some subset of the
  industry honoring itself.  Not the "best music" of the year.  Let's face
  it; much of the best music recorded in '92, from some long term
  perspective, probably hasn't emerged from private studios or basements,
  much less made its mark.

  No matter -- I relish this annual opportunity to get on a high horse &
  give friends & coworkers some grief...   8)   Jay

    
    Amongst the nominees, the following Canadian artists :
    
    Celine Dion
    K. D. Lang
    Bryan Adams
    Tom Cochrane
    Alannah Myles
    Rob McConnell
    
    "There is no words, this is a dream come true..." said Dion, 24, on the
    phone from Aruba where she was vacationing with her family.
    "Personally, I won't win. That's for sure. But the truth is I'm a
    winner already just to be nominated...Five years ago I couldn't speak
    English." Dion grew up in Charlemagne, Quebec, a small town just
    outside Montreal.

    .3 is the first time I ever heard k. d. lang referred to as an
    "insider".

Hi,

I am a foreigner to this land. But I was terribly impressed by Witney Houston's
song in 'Bodyguard'. I do not remember the name of the song, but this is often 
played in VH1 channel in Cable.

I am a novice and any input would be appreciated.

/venki

     > Witney Houston's song in 'Bodyguard'
    
    "I Will Always Love You" ??
    
    originally written and recorded by Dolly Parton for "The Best Little
    Whorehouse in Texas" soundtrack. (about 10 years ago)
    
    Bob

Thanks, but why was she not nominated ?? Any pointers ...

    
    	Too late - it goes from September to September (approximately).
    
    	It will be considered next year, I'd guess.
    
    	... or am I thinking about movies?
    

    ...Dolly parton's version runs circles around whitney's overbearing
    rendition of the tune...if you want to hear how it should sound ...pick
    up dolly's version......./k

    >>     ...Dolly parton's version runs circles around whitney's
    >> overbearing rendition of the tune.
    
    
    couldn't agree more.
    
    Bob
    

    
    
    	I too agree that Dolly's version is the best.  Now on the country
    stations here they are playing a mixed version of the song with both
    versions together.  It sounds awfull.
    
    Virginia

    ..re: -1 ....OH Gross!.......................;')................./k

    re .16 ... I agree that Dolly's version is *much* better. Also, on
    "Jack's Place" on tv this last week, Sheena Easton did another version
    of the same song, very much in the style of Dolly Parton, and for me it
    re-enforced just how nice the song is when sung *softly* ....
    
    Suegene

    ..absolutely....whitney could tear the outer skin off a baseball with the
    force she uses (unnecessarily) on this tune.............;').../k

    re: -1

    
    
    
    
    Guess this means I should take my pro model earplugs (protectors), huh?
    
    
    
    

	Linda Ronstadt also does a strong version of the song. I think
	that it's on her "Prisoner in Disguise" album.

    re -1/...if it's in keeping with her usual style..Linda probably loudly
    over sings this song almost as much as whitney...but then again, i've never
    heard this particular tune done by her .....however she does have a 
    tendency to "shout" tunes that should be soft ballads,.........../k

    Re: .24, .25
    
    Yeah, Linda's is better than Whitney's but not up to Dolly's.  I do
    credit her version in getting me to buy the old RCA "Best of Dolly" LP
    to hear the original, along with a bunch of other great tunes from
    Dolly's earlier days.

   Ah - with that tune, you must mean the later of the two RCA "Best of
   Dollys" (even better than the first -- has a number like 5146).
   
   What I really replied to say:  Parton's doing an album with the other two
   country-music queens of the 60s/70s, Loretta Lynn and Tammy Wynette.  I
   hear the harmonies are sounding great...   - Jay

    Hello All,
    
       I thought maybe I could add a comment or two. To begin with I have
    heard Whitneys version of "I Will Always Love You" and I guess it
    sounds OK, however no one can beat Dolly at this one in my eye's. Also
    this tune hit the big charts twice for Dolly, the first time with the 
    movie and the second time as a number one seller. Making it the first
    time a song has hit number 1 three times in a span of 15 years pretty
    good ah.
    
    
    
    Rose
      

    "Matchbox" by Blind Lemon Jefferson was a hit for him in 1925,  for
    Carl Perkins in 1954, and for the Beatles in 1966.

    Reply .29
    
        I must apologize I was not aware of this, I should have specified
    Country music..
    
    Rose.
    

    Hey, no problem!  Just making conversation.  "Whole Lotta Shaking Going
    On" is the only song to be number one on country, pop, and R&B charts
    simultaneously.
    

>        I must apologize I was not aware of this, I should have specified
>    Country music..

  Well, maybe if/when Prince does his country album (just a matter of time,
  I feel), he'll cover "A Fool Such As I", and the dance mix will hit #1...    

    Hank Snow -> Elvis Presley [ -> Bob Dylan non-hit] -> Prince...
    
  Still won't meet the 15 year window, though.  - Jay
