No way?!? A disappointed Roxette fan? Get out :-p
Relax Pascal, hear it in full, hear it with the band, then make a call. Those snippets tell us nothing.
Thanks to Per for providing us with a cool insight. The MAJORITY appreciate the effort :)

Yeah, I know :-) But IMHBL really sounds like a complete other song, strange. Anyway, I’m looking forward to attending the Proms, don’t get me wrong! :-)

Yeah... you could hear some of the rehersals on roxetteBlog.com as well.... :))
It seems to me like Marie is going to get a lot of background singers... just in case her voice breaks or something like that. That was my first thought seeing this video. At least we are going to see them on stage again.

With regards to IMHBL and the background singers: don’t forget that this has been recorded with a handycam and its microphone. Things will be balanced out much better when amplified and mixed, I guess...

WOW! Hope they’ll release these orchestral versions someway...

Sounds exciting. I think the songs are going to sound stunning live. Like others have pointed out, I don’t think you can get an accurate feel for it until the whole thing is mixed together. During the IMHBL rehearsal for example....Marie’s vocal is kind of overshadowed by the backing singers. This wouldnt be the same live as her vocals would be louder in the mix. Its also quite hard to imagine how it will sound with the orchestra playing along with the full band and how they will balance each of them from behind the sound desk!

Check out the new videos with Marie + orchestra + band. Amazing! :D
About the background singer coaching: I think that Marie’s singing quite low/quiet on purpose, because it’s about training the others. The background is not meant to sing in sync with her, it’s a second voice like on the record. ;)

omg omg! *excited*
this is so great, can’t wait to experience this live!!!!
They should maybe think of an S&M like Metallica! One of my favourite albums. And Rox songs DO have the potential.
*thumbs up*

sounds even better with the band. Unfortunately I’ll be on holiday from friday for a week so probably wont be able to check out videos from the first night until I get back!! This is a nice taster though in the meantime. I’ll still have to wait a couple of months to see the whole thing though, as I wont be going until the last 2 german shows!

Auryte: of course, what did you expect? ;)

was that bono at the end of the look rehersal? Kinda disappointing i woulda swapped the look out for anyone. I am hoping marie is holding back vocall otherwise she doesn’t sound up to par. And I was wondering, has she developed photosensitivity, you see her alot more often wearing sunglasses
so say we all
fridapeeples said on October 20, 2009 21:30:
Holy Moses!
I love how majestic the orchestral arrangements are! I didn’t expect them to sound so epic.
In regards to the usual comments/worries about Marie’s voice...
of the three clips where she is actually singing, LTYH sounds fine and The Look & IMHBL appeared to be a brief rehearsal for the Backing Singers to make sure that they had their parts down - I would say she was intentionally holding back (does anyone remember the clip of her and Per rehearsing Big L. on guitar from “Making of Joyride?” Same deal.
Remco said on October 21, 2009 01:29:
Seeing the 4 videos... wasn’t the initial plan to play 5 songs, with Joyride being the 5th? Since we only got to see the other 4 songs, did I miss the news that Joyride has been dropped?

funny you mention it, when I saw the videos this Big L rehearsing came to my mind :) it brought a smile on my face because I love that documentary :)

I think you hear the end of Joyride at the beginning of WICF (video #6 from yesterday) :D
RobS said on October 21, 2009 11:42:
Can’t wait to hear these versions!!!
WICF sounds great - and it’s not even in decent quality! I couldn’t quite make out IMHBL, but i’m sure it’s gonna sound great.

@Paul: thank you for the link :)
I like the comment to Expressen’s article: Roxette to Ullevi 2010. Oh yeah, that’s my dream as well :)

Check out the Belgian TV report/interview: http://roxetteblog.com/index.php/2009/10/notp-countdown-media-is-picking... :D
bradhdyd said on October 22, 2009 01:42:
The Belgian TV interview is amazing. Joyride and IMHBL sound awesome!!! So do the others too I guess ;) Sooo wish I could be there. Anyone konw what the live archive footage of The Look is from?
pwbbounce (moderator) said on October 22, 2009 11:52:
The videos added can pretty much put to rest the comments about Marie’s voice!! She’s sounding pretty good! :-)
fridapeeples said on October 22, 2009 22:06:
Agreed! LTYH is fantastic!! The band sounds awesome, the visuals are great...
I am getting so excited watching these vids...I suppose if I robbed a bank and hoofed it over the ocean I could probably pick up a decent scalped ticket at the venue huh? ;-)
Pascal said on October 20, 2009 11:47:
To be honest, I’m kinda disappointed when hearing IMHBL and WICF. The orchestra’s playing doesn’t really give a warm, smooth, fluent feeling and it’s quite difficult to relate the music/arrangements to the real songs. Very strange.
