Title: Pet Shop Boys + Broadway Don't Mix
Review: I have loved virtually everything the Pet Shop Boys have done and can't say enough good things about them. That much said I can find nothing redeeming for their cover of Sondheim's "Somewhere". This isn't the first time PSBs have delved into the realm of Broadway...who can forget their screeching shuddering version of "Losing My Mind". They were best off leaving that for Liza on her superior version on the "Results" CD. But no, the PSBs can't leave well enough alone and have to make another go at Broadway. Their version doesn't add anything to the Broadway mileau and frankly Striesand's cover version is superior. It's only worth it for completists (like myself...although why I'm not sure) or obsessives (myself again). It's only worth one star and that's only for the other tracks on the single. To quote the PSBs "That's my Impression"...I don't dare leave me email address for fear of flaming responses for die-hard PSB fans.
Is the review positive or negative?
