Members Ryan Posted January 8, 2008 Author Members Share Posted January 8, 2008 Sonya sounds pretty good. She sang on "Nightshift". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members stenbeck212 Posted January 8, 2008 Members Share Posted January 8, 2008 Only SOME can! When I saw that special about the ABC Daytime Christmas cd on SoapNet last year, I wished I had known Simon Cowell's contact info. It was as bad as the Emmy telecast a few years back, when everybody and their mama belted out a tune. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Graciecat Posted January 8, 2008 Members Share Posted January 8, 2008 I'll probably buy it to hear Rick Hearst and David Canary. LOVE those two so much I probably won't care if they can't sing. And I love Kathy Brier's voice. Her "River" was great. Sad to see Jason Thompson isn't on it- I really liked him on the Christmas CD.

Members stenbeck212 Posted January 8, 2008 Members Share Posted January 8, 2008 From that list, I only stand behind Bobbie Eakes' vocal chops. Of course Kathy Brier has a Broadway musical background too. Kassie DePaiva truly confuses me. I know she's been at the music game for years, but her voice has an appeal best suited for karaoke.

Members AddictedToSoaps Posted January 8, 2008 Members Share Posted January 8, 2008 I didn't see the last 4 episodes of Night Shift so I haven't heard her - but I was expecting her to be pretty good. Now Bradford Anderson on the other hand... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Adam Posted January 8, 2008 Members Share Posted January 8, 2008 One Frons marketing strategy I like. I would be interested to hear David Canary sing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members EricaKane70 Posted January 8, 2008 Members Share Posted January 8, 2008 I would rather susan lucci have a storyline rather than her be on a cd. I'm surprised frons didn't put cameron mathison and sonny corithnos on the cd, since they seem to be his favorites. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members baller Posted January 8, 2008 Members Share Posted January 8, 2008 I'm getting it. It seems that Frons spent a bit of time finding people who could sing and actually using them... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members JackPeyton Posted January 8, 2008 Members Share Posted January 8, 2008 i cant wait to hear spinelli sing! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members EricMontreal22 Posted January 8, 2008 Members Share Posted January 8, 2008 Many are playign it safe--Susan is singign a song she did when she was in Annie Get Your Gun on Broadway, Tam from OLTL is in Chorus Line, etc. I hope the arrangements and production aren't as MOR cheese synth fest as usual Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members JackPeyton Posted January 8, 2008 Members Share Posted January 8, 2008 also, the cover is much better than the last cd they did. that was some bad stuff. the x-mas album. days of our lives did a love cd a few years ago - but i was put off by brady & chloe being involved, lol.
