...having seen the BRITS tribute now, I like them both probably equally the same..:laugh:..just because I think they're bot relevant to Bowie as a musical artist and performer...if I was to pick a favourite bit of both full tributes, it would be Gary Oldman and his words of a friend and of knowing the man...I'm not sure that any tribute could capture who he was completely or do full justice to him as it were because for me, his 'artist' was so much his own journey and steps through his own life..he was the man who sold the world, he was Ziigy Stardust, he was Aladdin Sane, he was the Thin White Duke and The Man Who Fell to Earth and etc, all real life phases I think..and then through his phases he became with his final phase, a man facing his death with the death of Major Tom ..and phases that we all go through in our lives, only we don't have the genius of his talent and gift to express in the same way....he wasn't for me, an artist who 're-invented' as a performer, he was an artist who took a hand and walked through phases of life that we all recognise and know/he understood...
