Title: warning to music lovers
Product review: Twiggy's vocal performance on this soundtrack has to be one of the worst and most embarrassing in the history of musical theatre.Non singing actors who sing musicals are fine, especially if like Rex harrison they take it to a completly different level by cleverly acknowlesdging what they are doing. However, non actresses who can't sing, performing songs that require someone with a voice like Gertrude Lawrence is something else. Did this show really run on Broadway? Did Americans, used to the highest standards of musical theatre really pay to see it? She has no range, she is way too nasal, she is at times out of tune. On some tracks her cockney vibrato make her sound like Spike Milligan in 'The Goons'. Do yourself a big favour, seek out the original Coward recordings with Gertrude Lawrence and buy those. I wonder if The Master has stopoped spinning in his grave yet.
