I'm taking part in a Stars in their Eyes event for journalists (not a televised one, I hasten to add). We're being made up by professional make-up people so we can be who we want.
Who should I opt for? I fancy going as Bowie, but as i'm a dark-skinned, overweight welshman, it might be hard to disguise myself as the thin white duke. I then thought of Tom Jones, but I'm not sure that I can handle the pelvis thrusts.
Most of the singers I like are black, so for obvious reasons I can't do those. And most of the white singers I really like (Captain Beefheart, Nick Cave, Tom Waits, Jacques Brel) are too obscure.
Any suggestions?
