Rarely I had so much fun listening to a cover version. Richie, you and the guys (and the gal of course) are tremendous anyways and every time, but this one... You nailed every of those musicians and I had literally tears in my eyes laughing. Richie, as a musician myself I envy you for your talent, your abilities and all those lovely talented people you are sourounding yourself. Best wishes from Germany, KaDe

Damn! That's your best performance/session yet!!!! This is what I like to hear from a cover band! Always put your own spin on a tune. Audiences lots of time won't engage with you, if they predict where you're going; but that performance can have them on the edge of their seat...it did me!..REALLY ENJOYED IT!!

wouter e You lost me at Christina Aguilera. I guess it would work if the idea was to mash together as many disparate elements as possible. Kinda like mixing mashed potatoes with toffee flavored ice cream, sauerkraut, aspirin powder, onions, caramel, soy sauce and botulism. Lol
