I wanna put on my my my my my boogie shoes...

DISCO night on Idol...  overall really good performances (with the exception of Lil')

Loved Adam, Kris, and really enjoyed Allison too.

Here they are if you missed them...

I've actually been working on a wonderful DISCO show for Busch Gardens Tampa called DANCE TO THE MUSIC.  The show opens next Wednesday!!!  I helped create it (which has been awesome!!!) and am doing vocal direction for it!!  I'll talk more about this next week.  Needless to say, there's been a LOT of disco music in my life lately.  I feel I could "boogie oogie oogie til you just can't boogie no more!"

So in honor of that new show and Idol Disco night, here are 3 really cool covers of Gloria Gaynor's hit I WILL SURVIVE.

The first is a very popular one by the group CAKE.

Check it out on itunes here.

The second is by cabaret artist Colleen McHugh.  

Very funny interpretation.  Check out I WILL SURVIVE from her live album SONGS OF SELF-DELUSION on itunes.

Finally, here are the wonderful PUPPINI SISTERS with a lovely version.  (The youtube clip cuts out halfway through the number)



Download their cover here. Also, check out my past post on these fabulous ladies.

...there were never such devoted sisters!

We went to a wonderful concert last night!  Jazz vocal sensations THE PUPPINI SISTERS were performing at the House of Blues in Orlando.

HUGE HUGE fan!  They are an Andrew Sisters-esque singing trio from the UK.  I love their lovely renditions of old favorites (BOOGIE WOOGIE BUGLE BOY, IN THE MOOD etc)  The group formed after being inspired by the movie THE TRIPLETS OF BELLEVILLE.

Here's JEEPERS CREEPERS and JAVA JIVE...

They are a wonderful throwback to the singing trios of the 40's.  The thing that I love about them though is that they do covers of modern rock and pop sings in the same Andrew Sisters vibe.  I actually feel that if the sisters Andrew or McGuire were alive today, these are the types of albums they would be making.

Here's a bit of their take on Blondie's HEART OF GLASS!

Also love love love their cover of Beyonce's CRAZY IN LOVE.  Here's the audio.

The concert last night was really amazing.  The harmonies were spot on and the chemistry between the very funny sistas was marvelous!!

We saw the show with some wonderful friends.  When you see a really good act you want to share the experience with others, and a good time was had by all.

Check out their 2 albums.  To start out I would recommend their debut BETCHA BOTTOM DOLLAR.

Their second album, THE RISE AND FALL OF RUBY WOO,  is really good too and has more original work.

They also appeared on the KIT KITTREDGE - AN AMERICAN GIRL soundtrack and have a couple of Christmas tracks.

...must download Puppini tracks are CRAZY IN LOVE and HEART OF GLASS.  (I WILL SURVIVE is pretty great too.

Puppini sisters... "You're once... twice... three times a (swell) lady!
