I Am A Swede

My favourite is when Brooke finally slapped Stephanie back on B&B. It was during the height of the BeLief-story, emotions were running high and they finally boiled over and everything exploded.

So much great music...

Is it just me, or does Curt Dawson bear a striking resemblance to Anthony Hopkins in the last photo?

It's perfectly fine. Perhaps not something I would actively seek out, but not something that would make me turn off the radio. For some reason I've always preferred female voices though, so most of what I listen to are female singers.

Now I just had to put this album on.....

I just have a major problem with their falsetto singing. It sounds awful. That's why I prefer when they write for other artists, or when other artists makes covers of their songs. Like this one:

I’d become obsessed with “Heartbreaker” all of a sudden earlier this year. It was never a huge radio staple when I was growing up, so it wasn’t overly familiar. Dionne was rarely one to go overboard with the melismas and hooting and hollering (like some of her contemporaries and followers), but she imbues the song with such feeling. Probably her best not written by Bacharach.

I've always loved "Heartbreaker". I'm not a big fan of the Bee Gees, but they've written some great songs for other artists, including this one. (Not to mention Streisand's "Guilty" album )

I thought Rishi was a likeable character and he brought a lot of continuity to the show given that he'd been there for over a decade. He wasn't a favorite of mine, but if the show is getting rid of long term characters he wouldn't have been first on my list.

Not on mine either. There are so many other options.... Zak, Marlon, Sam, Paddy, Cain.....

With that said, there are some fans out there at places like Digital Spy that trashed Rishi for years and are now very upset he's gone, so I think it's a lesson for people to appreciate some of these characters while they have them.

I think that's very common. Better the devil you know than the devil you don't.

But I'm sure TPTB will give them some never-before-heard-of Dingle relative to ease their pain....
