Barry Manilow....Hero or Horror?

[Newmanseye]

Yes we all know that Barry Manilow is the Cheesemonger with a huge beak but can we fault his songs.

I've been having words with my wife ( sirrusb ) regarding just how great he is, I even wanted to go see his show when I was in Vegas ( i was not allowed ). Who's on the Hero side and whos on the Horror side.

beforfe you make a decision I havet remind you of a few of Barry's musical gems.

I like his voice and songs , not keen on the looks department tho lol.

[ifm]

Oh dear, oh dear, oh dear.

[Muahahahaha]

Do you ever get urges to dress up & go to sing-a-long-a Sound of Music ?

Do you secretly like Donner Summer & Barbara Strisand ?

If so, I think you wife is right to worry

 

( BTW I'm not a fan of old big nose- I prefer Cultre Club & George Michael )
