I havent heard it yet but this BARRY MANILOW comparison is cracking me up

Ok im hearing tons of comparisons of the break in PE being compared to "Could it be magic" by Barry Manilow and though im nopt listening to any PE tracks till i get my copy this Friday in NYC at the local mom and pop store that gets cds before street date, this comparison is funny. Not because its Prince and Manilow, but the fact that "Could it Be Magic" was not an original composition to begin with, the Lyrics werent Manilows and the music, though written by him, The Music was inspired by and based on a Chopin Prelude which was clearly stated on Manilows first albums liner notes and always said in interviews.

well im glad you cleared that up,because when i first heard it i thought it sounded like a Take That song.
Fuck the funk - it's time to ditch the worn-out Vegas horns fills, pick up the geee-tar and finally ROCK THE MUTHA-FUCKER!! He hinted at this on Chaos, now it's time to step up and fully DELIVER!!
woot!

Barry Manilow's music is pretty good.
