I really feel like a liar right now, because I said I was going to try to update this book more often, and here's my first new chapter in almost three months. It's strange how you can really get sidetracked.
This chapter has actually come completely randomly, because it's been a while since I last listened to anything at all from POTO, but I happened to be listening to "Think of Me" today, sung by Elisabeth Berg.
I don't know how many POTO fans these days have actually heard Elisabeth. I know in this book, I've listed her as one of my all-time favorite Christines, and I added her "Think of Me" to my chapter on my favorite renditions of the song (which is most definitely true) and her title song duet with Mikael Samuelson as one of my favorite renditions of that one (which is also most definitely true.
For those who don't know, Elisabeth played Christine in the original Swedish cast of POTO, which premiered in Stockholm in 1989. I would write more, but I really don't know what else to say about her Christine other than that she had a beautiful voice that I personally think was perfect for Christine.
Here are a few audios so you can listen and see what you think:
Think of Me
Wishing You Were Somehow Here Again
All I Ask Of You (with Bengt Nordfors)
I might do chapters on some other actors and actresses at some point, ones whose renditions I think really need more love. I'll be posting about a few others, too, as long as I don't forget!
