It\u2019s one time in the week when I know I can settle down and relax. Don\u2019t mind what\u2019s on particularly, I just like to chill. As a result, I see an awful lot of <em>Dr Who, Merlin <\/em>and whatever talent show the BBC and Andrew Lloyd Webber have cooked up. This year of course, it\u2019s <em>Over the Rainbow<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>The producers are bravely tackling that Judy Garland classic, <em>The Wizard of Oz <\/em>and have found girls with some exceptional talent. Last week Jessica sang <em>There You\u2019ll Be<\/em>, one of my favourite big belt it out ballads. I only know it from a Faith Hill CD I bought recently, to get hold of another song, <em>This Kiss. Where You Are <\/em>is from the soundtrack of <em>Pearl Harbour<\/em>. Despite being connected to a turkey of a film (although the flying sequences were breathtaking and Josh Hartnett easy on the eye) the song has endured. I think it\u2019s touchingly romantic. Jessica sang it with gusto \u2013 and a bit too much theatricality \u2013 always a problem on a tiny TV screen. The girls need to prove they can fill a theatre auditorium but it sometimes feels too over the top on a screen in the living room.<\/p>\n<p>Anyway, I\u2019m inviting you to share your favourite romantic song. It doesn\u2019t have to be one that has a personal connection (I\u2019m keeping those private too) just a song you like and makes you go gooey inside. After all, the potency of cheap music shouldn\u2019t be overlooked!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u2018Extraordinary how potent cheap music is,\u2019 said Amanda in Private Lives (a production of which, starring Matthew MacFadyen and Kim Cattrall, has just closed at The Vaudeville Theatre).
