Year 2 of Lockdown, Day 90

First and foremost - LOOK IT IS DONE:

Chapter 4 of Meet the Neighbours

This one's Owls' - I provided a basic base and then they created a fantastical castle [of Good Omens brilliance] and I'm just sat here, admiring. ♥ This has evolved SO far beyond the vague ideas I had initially and there is a great deal more crossover crack to come. Trust me, you have no idea what we have in store for you!

(This is the one where the Doctor & Missy move in next door to Aziraphale & Crowley. South Downs fic of course.)

Daily Dimash: Ti Amo Cosi

This performance features Dimash Qudaibergen, Lara Fabian and Aida Garifullina, and is from a Jubilee Creative Evening celebrating Igor Krutoy. The complete opposite of yesterday's song. Igor Krutoy is a Ukrainian/Russian composer and musician and has worked with many different singers, most notably Lara Fabian - and now Dimash. You'll spot him a lot, usually behind the piano, like here. :) Oh and it's a performance with MORE - not just a gorgeous operatic trio, but also ice dancers!

Chosen because I think Aziraphale would absolutely adore it it; the lyrics are incredibly romantic and the singing is divine. :)



Behind the scenes stuff under the cut, including Dimash meeting Andrea Bocelli.

And here is Dimash meeting Andrea Bocelli. I love it, it's literally 'Well kid, show us what you've got'. <3



ETA: Oh and another recording, overlaps a bit, but in this one he sings Bésame mucho, and the footage is a lot cleaner:

Dimash y Andrea Bocelli - "Bésame mucho" - 3.11.19


And here is The Charismatic Voice, waxing lyrical:



There is a story that at one point Aida turned to Dimash and said: "Look, Lara and I are really tired and just want to go home. You can sing all the parts of the song by yourself, right?"

:)

Ok, Dimash and Andrea Bocelli was adorable. Though I like opera to begin with.

Him trying to sing La donna e mobile reminded me of a Prairie Home Companion sketch where someone is singing about becoming a famous opera tenor to that melody and he does devolve into singing 'blah de blah de, something Italian' at one point. So Dimash essentially doing the same thing at the same point in the song cracked me up.

I don't know if I knew that?
Oh, I've definitely mentioned it from time to time. But yeah, if you've got him doing some opera, I'll give it a go.

He's good at vocalising, but yeah. Wonderful moment. "I'll just... make it up." :D
We've all been there.
