As someone who absolutely LOVES when rock tunes are backed up by a power gospel choir (all-time fav is “Still Haven’t Found What I’m Looking For” from Rattle & Hum), I was horribly disappointed with the quality, or lack-thereof, of the choir last night. They were absolutely atrocious, and the harmonic arrangements were equally bad.Gospel choirs are supposed to have a full and rich tone - and last night’s choir was… well.. “tinny.” It’s like the difference between a kazoo and a harmonica, you know?
They just sucked. And I think that they may have really messed with a couple of the singers’ ability to find the notes. Mig, for one, seemed to hit a couple of quackers when the choir joined in. I think that Suzie was affected by it, as well.
Total bummer. Total rotter. I was expecting and anticipating some kick-a$$ band, orchestra, choir arrangements and was wholly disappointed.
BTW - Jordis, Marty & Mig. The final three. I think that Marty or Mig gets the job. Jordis goes on to have a fantastic solo career.
