MK and Shania Twain?
« on: December 08, 2008, 04:27:02 PM »
Google Alerts is great stuff!  (Thank you, Chairman Pottellll.) 
So supposedly MK is interested in producing a cd for Shania Twain.
According to the blog, he thinks she's a great singer, which she is indeed.
The blog posts are well---I guess not everyone understands our Mark.

My favorite is "Does this guy have any music history?"   
Shania fans don't realize how great MK does country, and how he can elevate her.  I hope it goes through.

Can I be the first to say... this is total bullshit.

I'll eat my hat if this is true.  :) Seriously. No doubt someone will mail Dr Fletch about this soon and he will confirm that this is total bollocks.

Incidentally I have always loved Shania's song "Don't Be Stupid"*, the others, not so much.





*The US version anyway. In the UK they released different versions of all her songs with no pedal steel and "dance beats"  ::).

Shania's music is definitely not my cup of tea and I find it hard to see Mark and Shania working together on an album.  I really hope it's not true!

Oh well, I guess Shania's "Don't be Stupid" applies to me, my wonderful Dusty V.   ;D ;D ;D
I like Shania, and I think it would be a great music marriage.  Oh well.   It would be a versatile sort of thing on the man's part.   
I guess the shania fans bought into the rumor too.    ;)

Well, the last episode of Boston Legal was on last night.   At the end of last season, I told my husband that Alan and Denny were going to end up together.   He snorted --like all of you guys.   ;D    In the last episode--they got married.  Yes indeed.  A marriage of convenience, money, and love.    I was right!!!!    So . . . . . . . . . :-* ;)

I couldn't see Mark working with Shaina, Mark is more old style country, Shania is to modern and polished for him, I like Shania fine, but I'm doubting Mark would produce an album for her, but stranger things have happened, then again, when would he find the time to do it? Well with his solo album due to be completed not long after xmas, and the release not till September, maybe it could be a summer project!!
Knopfler, Oldfield and Gilmour is all the guitar I need.

Hey Marie thank you for this news, although I didn't get this Google news about Shania Twain in my inbox!

You made me smile with the comment: "My favorite is "Does this guy have any music history?"   

I heard about Shania, but I can't remember a song of her, so she didn't impress me!  ;D

Quote: Oh well, I guess Shania's "Don't be Stupid" applies to me, my wonderful Dusty V. "   

Of course you are not stupid! ;D It is better to share news then not sharing news at all! With so many intelligent fans, we'll soon enough hear if the news is right or wrong! ........ We just saw an example of it!  ;)

Fieneke, One of Shania's songs is "That Don't Impress Me Much"!   Perhaps you heard it and it did impress you after all!  ;D

I had another thought about this, Shania has split up with her husband, Mutt Lange, and he was also her musical colaborator, and producer, so I guess she would be looking for someone new to work with, but with Mark? i'm still not sure about that one.
Knopfler, Oldfield and Gilmour is all the guitar I need.

All meant (and hopefully taken) in good spirit.  :)

PS Marie, please don't think I was having a go at you for posting this. It's out there so it's worthy of discussion and speculation. However, it just annoys me to think that some clown on the Shania Twain sat and deliberately made up this nonsense. What's the point?

And I'm a lot more folically challenged than I was when I last saw you at the Newcastle gig in May, here's a recent picture of me holding the Scottish Cup to prove it.  :o
