Louise - "Super Magic" + Greatest Hits (Jun 2)

[WhatKindOfKylie?]

Also echo the thoughts that we need the video mix released too.

Makes Super Magic even more of an bop this version.

Coming down off the cloud from the last 24/48 hours of announcements. This collection is almost perfect. A career with a set of bangers that deserves a proper celebration. All the hits with 'Heavy Love' still getting the love on the greatest hits and I hope both "one kiss from Heaven" and "Undivided Love" get some much overdue love too. Not to mention there's a decent amount of new songs on there too. The video is classy, simple but effective.
The only thing missing is an reimagined version of 'Oh Baby I...' - always a personal highlight when Louise belts it out live.

After initially going for the fan boy £90 bundle. I've decided in the end to pre-ordered the Deluxe CD and will purchase the vinyl via Amazon or via HMV if she's going any signings. Although, her stint in Grease will probably limit her signings. Bearing in mind 'Heavy Love' release got pushed back as it clashed with 9to5.
I'd love to see a really aggressive first week of promo with a decent amount of store appreances all over the country. If someone like Matt Goss can get a top 10 album due to having signings in just about everyone's back garden. Imagine how far this beauty can go?

I have every faith that 'Team Louise' know what they're doing. Afterall it's them we need to thank for the second coming of Louise: The Popstar. I just hope we get That tour before the year is out and "Louise: Live at Wembley" gets a viewing beyond Nurding Towers.

I don’t think Grease will impact her too much because doesn’t her role involve 1 song in the whole show? Whereas 9 to 5 she was the lead and on stage for 95% of a 2.5h hour show. So she could easily do a signing during the day and make it to the theatre in time to join the show half way through

Nice video. I could have done without her holding a mic though. It would have been more effective just to have her lip sync and dance. Sometimes the mic is just in the way and it doesn't quite work for me. I get that it's meant to be her performing the song but it's annoying when it's covering her lovely face. Or even if they just got a tad more creative and had a different style mic hanging down from above that she was cradling and singing into or an old-school mic or something. I'm just being fussy though. She looks great and I'm excited to get a copy of the double vinyl.

Nice interview! But why did they blur the photos and the videos?

 

[Suasexed]

It’s usually due to copy restrictions. I would imagine the version that was aired on live TV will not have been blurred.

They always blur the photos and videos from Lorraine on YouTube. It’s so they don’t have to pay the licence to use it on YouTube.

You can see it unblurred on ITVX

Can't wait to hear what she's got planned!

Well shit, that's really disappointing.

Well shit, that's really disappointing.

Not necessarily - Louise is amazing at taking songs from other artists and making it her own. Just look at ‘Together Again’. She has such a passion and love for that song and artist, that she has managed to retain the magic of the original whilst adding the ‘Louise’ touch throughout.

Depending on what song she chooses, she could have a lot of fun with it. My best bets would be something upbeat like ‘Like I Love You’, ‘Rock Your Body’ or ‘Sexy Back’ however I have a feeling she will probably go down the ‘Cry Me a River’ route!

Awesome, as much as Justin himself is an asshole, he’s had an amazing back catalogue. Plenty of songs for Lou to choose from.

I am hoping What Goes Around or Mirrors, the less obvious ones in his catalogue.

I imagine it will be Can't Stop The Feeling

Please do not speak that into atmosphere

 

[Tchelitchew]

Let it be "Love Sex Magic." Let's keep that magic theme going.

 

[Hoxton Hero]

For anyone in the UK, Louise is on Steph's Packed Lunch on Channel 4 for an interview, sometime between now and 2.10pm.

Let’s put THIS out into the atmosphere. A bop!

 

[WhatKindOfKylie?]

Can so see Louise do an an super version of Love Sex Magic!

 

[goldfish]

I would love to see Louise get a top 10 album with the Greatest Hits. If I buy the bundle with the vinyl, cd and cassette, will this count as 3 sales or 1? Would I be better buying the items separately?
