Je Suis Malade aussi. You took the words from my fingertips, Ruffled Grouse.
I am also Malade of La Vie En Rose. I now have more sympathy for people who are sick of classical warhorses, though that has only reached to Carmen for me.
However, Sumire and Francis skated a LP to Umbrellas of Cherbourg that I loved. So at least the problem isn't with ALL the French songs, at least for me.
Ooooh! I like this D'Artagnan very much! A bold choice, and a Bold Skate.
I even loved all the tanos and rippons. They seemed to go with the music. It surprises me how much I liked this. I think I'm going to brag one day that "I Saw It First."
