Someone Like You

I always thought she was singing "feel" on Anvil Ranch. Anyhow, I also hear two female voices on Run Wild, one being Dawn Zee, so I guess the other could be Gillian. The song is about her daughter after all. While were on the subject...Who is it that sings with Barney on Paradise? I should know, but I don't.

To Zico: Gillian sounds like the girl from Dubstar - actually it should be the other way round!! Sarah Blackwood - for it is she - sounds a lot like Gillian.

As for the rest of you debating Gillian's vocal contributions; I hereby have it as ABSOLUTE FACT the following songs on which Gillian's voice is REALLY featured:

Procession ("hello...hello../your heart meets you, late at night")/ Doubts Even Here / Confusion (the original 1983 version - you can hear her trill quite clearly: "Why can't you see? Why can't you see? What you mean to me?")/ The Perfect Kiss (yes really!! on the dub B-side: The Kiss of Death, where she is actually sampled sighing!!!) / Avalanche (where she sings "FAITH...." and NOT "Feel it" NOR "Freeeee.." NOR "Feel Me Up..." NOR whatever else!!!)

That's it !! Now, as regards the rest of the speculated songs: True Faith is a sneaky one - it's actually Barney backing himself in falsetto and NOT Gillian at all - listen very carefully!
Secondly, Gillian sang NO OTHER backing vocals on any of the Republic tracks : World and Liar - these are the additonal female contributors credited on the sleeve.... As for Someone Like You...nope, it isn't Gillian again either. In fact she hardly features on this last album at all: keyboards or otherwise. Considering this fact would go some way to explaining why she chooses to save her vocalising for The Other Two stuff ... Okay, I hope I've settled this heated debate once and for all. Can I go home now?

Was Stephen standing behind her while her 'sighing' was being recorded ??

Yes,they sure do.And for my next trick....

I'm pretty sure she's singing "Faith" in Avalanche (think I read that somewhere also). A little bit of a surprise to hear on Get Ready, with all of the reviews stating that her daughter's illness excluded her from the recording sessions and she's isn't any of the publicity shots.

I'd still like to know who it is on Paradise. Is it Barney and Hooky, Barney and Steve, or just Barney and Barney?
