The Least Popular Thread Ever

OMG

Ah well you're wrong there 'cos I can't stand him either.

The only song he's ever penned (I think) that I quite liked was the one from Chess that Elaine Paige and Barbara Dickson sang. Least I think that was one of his.

I'll never understand why anyone would want to spend money sitting through the tortuous shite he's inflicted on theatres. Nor do I understand where his 'inspiration' comes from. It might not actually be ALW himself who's doing the musical of Lord of the Rings, but that's how desperate these 'empressario' twats have become for material

*shudders*

There's far too much real talent out there to waste your time or money on twaddle like his.

hmmmm...i couldn't name a fucking song by him. i know his name but i couldn't care less about stage musicals so you guys aren't alone. fuck him in his stupid ass i say.

I thought hating Andrew Lloyd Webber was like hating Madonna.

 

[james1200]

Ooooooo You wouldn't say that if you saw what he looked like James! Right ugly cunt he is!

I always thought he was completely over rated.
I've always judged a shows music as a success if people leave the theatre humming and remembering the songs.
So many of his shows had only one memorable song (if any) like "Don't Cry For Me Argentina", "Mem'ries" and "Music of the Night". Where as shows like "Westside Story", "Showboat" and so many others had several memorable songs.

i didn't say i'd fuck him pixel...i just want him to get a good ass-fuck lesson from someone else so he stops producing all this junk that's polluting the minds of gay men and park avenue bitches

 

[PixelHerder]

I think it's safe to say his music is humming all right! Oh, I see...

LOL - BTW, don't mark me down as a musical hater... you can't beat My Fair Lady for class IMHO

Ah, in that case - play on... It'll be a valuable lesson learned. Unless the talentless turd turns it into his next musical

Thinking about his ugly smug mug makes me think Mother Nature's beat you to it anyways

 

[james1200]

good lord...what was that video paul posted...and which one is the wife? if he's married to that then i guess he's being punished enough.

 

[unclaimedblessing]

Does anyone else think he resembles Austin Powers?

 

[Angelfan]

I hate to correct everyone but he divorced Sarah Brightman years ago and he's remarried.

I'm also going to disagree with everyone else as I love a lot of his musicals and lots of the songs from them. I love the Lady's Got Potential, High Flying Adored, Rainbow Tour, Goodnight and Thank You and A New Argentina from Evita. I love As If We Never Said Goodbye, The Perfect Year, Surrender and the title song from Sunset Boulevard. I love Superstar, Gethsemane and Herod's Song from Jesus Christ Superstar. I love Cold, A Kiss Is A Terrible Thing To Waste and the titel song from Whistle Down The Wind. I love Music Of The Night, Prima Donna and the title song from Phantom Of The Opera Memory is a classic and I also love The Rum Tum Tugger, Macavity, Skimbleshanks The Railway Cat from Cats.

I can hum any number of these songs from the top of my head so they certainly are memorable.

And, again for the record, I Know Him So Well (from Chess) was written by Tim Tice and Benny and Bjorn from Abba.

... I Know Him So Well (from Chess) was written by Tim Tice and Benny and Bjorn from Abba.

Oh thank fuck for that! Thanks Angelfan - I know you won't thank me for gloating, but it's an enormous relief to me that I don't owe the Broadway Blob credit for writting that one

That might be why I liked it

 

[Angelfan]

the Broadway Blob

Strange description for a composer who's shows have all opened in London before Broadway. I could understand if it was a Broadway composer you were referring to.

Oh, and it's Tim Rice not Tice (a typo).

 

[JackFTwist]

Jesus Christ Superstar was great.

The rest has sucked.

For all the derision and nastiness that's been vented here, lets not forget that, over the last 20 years or so, Mr Lloyd-Webber has been responsible for creating some of the most popular and successful stage musicals of all time.

I'm not a huge fan of his either, but I've enjoyed all of the Lloyd-Webber shows that I've seen (Cats, Phantom, Evita, J C Superstar) and, as stage spectacles, most of them are pretty well unmatched.

Never liked Sarah Brightman's voice though .... have to agree with you on that one.

For me, only one musical towers above every other one that's ever made it to the big-time ..... Les Miserables. It tells the most wonderful, powerful story, has some of the most beautiful and moving songs ever written for the stage, and, as a stage spectacle, it just took my breath away. Over the last 15 years, I've been lucky enough to see it three times.

The title song from Phantom of the Opera is utterly fabulous! But only in the sense that it's so fucking, godawful, what with it's stolen themes and utterly ludicrous multiple key-changes, that it's passed into the realm of 'so bad; it's good'. I totally love that song; every time I hear it it brings a smile to my face ...but for all the wrong reasons.

As for anything else I've ever heard by Lloyd-Weber, the 'good' meolodies always sound like they've simply been ripped wholesale from someone else's violin or piano concerto; that's probably why they tend to sound so familiar.
