All three girls are very fine singers, but I really wish they'd get a voice coach in. The amount of time they spend on the road will destroy those voices in a couple of years flat. Caro does a perfectly adequate job on the drums, but I'd prefer to see her get some lessons and be a bit more adventurous. I mean, OK, Mike Portnoy-style insanity wouldn't work with the Corrs. But Simon Phillips fitted in neatly, and he's a technical GOD! So maybe sit Caro down behind a Tama Starclassic kit and give her Simon Phillips to teach her for for a day, then a week to explore the possibilities! The last bit is, ultimately, what it's all about, really. True, Stratovarious may have great chops, but their writing's awful. That's why Dream Theater are so unusual: they've got great chops and great compositional skills in several genres of music. The Corrs are, by and large, very skilled arrangers and composers. Fair play to them. ~Simon NP: Van Halen, "Aftershock" ______________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com
