First of all SPOILER ALERT if you haven't watched SMASH in its entirety, do not read this!
It's been a good year since I last watched SMASH, so forgive me if I get things mixed up. But can we talk about how I will never be over Kyle's death? That was the worst thing this show could have done. IT WAS SO UNNECESSARY! But anyway. Now that I've gotten that out of my system we can talk about Christian Borle's amazing cover of "Vienna".
So last year I wrote a post about Christian Borle (here) and he is one of my favorite performers, actors, and singers. Yup. I appreciate that he exists.
So let me include the song that is the center of this post:
"Vienna" is a song, originally by Billy Joel and it was covered in SMASH by Christian Borle's character, Tom Levitt, in a really sweet scene.
I am a huge Billy Joel fan so of course, I love the original, but I also really enjoy this version too. I am a picky music fan. Most of the time I HATE covers of any song. However, I fell in love with this one.
Maybe it's because I'm biased and loves anything Christian Borle sings - except for the Charlie and the Chocolate Factor cast album (but that's for another post in the future).
But I really do enjoy the piano and his voice.
And as I have said in my previous music post: I am no pro music reviewer or whatever.
Every time I write about something it's mostly me just being like "IT'S SO PRETTY AND SO GOOD" with no proof to back up why I like it so much.
But I do love this song and I am 100% going to write a post about the Bombshell soundtrack. Or is it considered a cast album?
I don't know, but I love it so much and had it on my laptop before my laptop decided to delete iTunes.
Give it a listen and let me know what you think. Do you like this cover version? Do you not like it? Let me know what you think!
