Re: Alexander Armstrong becomes Morrissey...

I've seen it once since it started, was pretty crappy but will definitely watch that transformation!
I love Alexander Armstrong!

Re: Your Face sounds familiar

Still can't get over the image of 'Morrissey' hugging 'Beyonce'.

Thank you Peter,
I sat through the d list graveyard of 'celebs' and as soon as I heard 'manchester mope' or similar - knew what was coming.
Not horrendous and at least we saw Morrissey performing on prime time tv!
Not sure how it rates against the Harry Hill version...
Harry went as far as to put 'England's foremost Morrissey impersonator' at the bottom of his posters on the strength of his outing as Moz.
Think Alexander will be a bit more reserved.
Thanks for the heads up,
Regards,
FWD

He did a pretty good job there.

...on the ITV Saturday night show "Your Face Sounds Familiar". It's not a very good show, in my estimation. Celebrities sing as celebrities and are voted on their performance. The word is that Alexander Armstrong, comedian, actor, and presenter of Pointless, will be singing as Morrissey.

Question: Has any personality ever done an imitation of solo-era Morrissey? It always seems to be early Smiffs and nothing else.

The closest I've ever seen to a solo Morrissey impression was his Glastonbury appearance. He's not widely known for his post Smiths output amongst the general public. Even the occasional affectionate radio tributes focus on the Smiths era.



His obituaries will all start "Morrissey, lead singer of the foremost 80s indie band the Smiths, has died following complications due to..." His solo career will be secondary.

One of the better Smiths covers...

There never was a 'solo' career. He has never gone solo. He just changed his musicians and songwriters, and called the whole thing 'Morrissey'. It's amazing how many people have been duped into thinking Morrissey is a solo artist. Hasn't written a song in his life.

 

[King Leer]

Clever.

I think Morrissey is fine with being referred to as lead singer of The Smiths. Some years ago he made the comparison to McCartney always being tagged a "former Beatle" in articles.

Actually, I've just remembered the closest thing to a Moz-solo impersonation -- he obviously watched his VHS cassette of Introducing Morrissey that day.

Yikes! Pretty dreadful! I am not familiar with this program or Alexander Armstrong, so I may have been missing something. Difficult to watch.

 

[King Leer]

Vocal melodies are part of songwriting, bozo. And we know that Morrissey has come up with some of the greatest ever.

Alexander Armstrong is the 18th Pale Descendant (or rather more...!) of William the Conqueror.

That had to be one of the funnier Smiths' parodies I've heard in a long while! Thank you!

Armstrong also did the voice of an alien super-computer called Mr. Smith on kids' TV.

COINCIDENCE?

Not really, but still.
