Stock, Aitken & Waterman

I really don't fancy Guetta's 'This time I know it's for real', Joel Corry ft Ella Henderson's 'Respectable' or James Arthur's 'Whenever you need somebody' though.

This would be interesting. They’ve done similar things before with 80s artists covering other 80s songs and we’ve seen how SAW songs can be reinterpreted and reappraised by some:

That one was surprisingly good. But I liked Jose Gonzalez in general.

It wouldn’t be for us.

I'm addicted to these. AI Rick is such a better singer than Jason (not that it's difficult).

Adele’s Can’t Forget You would be good though.

Cant Shake The Feeling even more of a banger with an adequate vocal.

What on earth is this cropping up on my Twitter?

The vocals may sound familiar to SAW fans. The miming seems to be well synched to the vocals so it’s not like someone just replaced the sound after the fact. This seems a genuine attempt to pass off the vocals as the people shown?

I think my favourite is Tonya Harding & Glenn Close as Mel & Kim or Dolph Lungren as that bloke from Curiosity….. or Ricki Lake as Boy George…..

Mad.

I found the Brilliant, Kiss The Lips Of Life LP today for £1, I only became aware of them after hearing them interviewed on the Chart Beats podcast, does anyone here know the album?,

Yes, I have it on CD and I like it a lot. They were tipped for great things in '85/86. Love Is War and Somebody are the SAW tracks (from memory) but there are some other great tracks as well.

I also have it on CD but don't feel like I've ever got to know it as well as others from around then. I should give it another go as I didn't care much for the O'Chi Brown album when that got a CD reissue but kind of love it now. Not that Brilliant is anything much like O'Chi though.

Yes, the Brilliant album was released at a very busy time in September 1986....I didn't pay it much attention then either, with so many high-profile albums jostling for my pocket money.

Their version of 'End of the world' isn't a patch on Sonia's though.

Booers · Feb 14, 2023

The album is on streaming in the UK.

They were a Record Mirror favourite at the time too.

I only discovered Brilliant‘s Love Is War thanks to the podcast too, it's top tier SAW for me, even if its not that representative of their sound.

Fits well on my playlist of SAW wine bar jams:

Brilliant's Somebody is SAW Top 10 for me. A classic.

letuinmybackdoor · Feb 15, 2023

It's a man's....World is shameless in it's 'The word girl' soundalike backing music.
