Title: 17weeks17songs (2016) Post by: CWazyTom on June 05, 2016, 11:41AM Susan McFadden and Brian McGrane decided to do a side-project called 17weeks17songs while on the North American leg Destiny tour in 2016.
Basically, Susan McFadden, Brian McGrane (and sometimes some special guests as well) covered one song for every week that was remaining on the Destiny tour. I've decided to document these here so they're centrally accessible and because I like documenting things (it's a sickness, I'm afraid). Intro to 17weeks17songs (March 9, 2016): https://www.facebook.com/susanmcfaddenofficial/videos/454034608135480/ Susan also created a repository on YouTube for her videos: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UChylYI85qrWCE7xG_ixv3wQ More to come... Title: Re: ?#?17weeks17songs? (2016) Post by: CWazyTom on June 05, 2016, 11:44AM Wow, so the topic post title supposed to be 17weeks 17songs with a hashtag in front of each 17, but I guess it didn't like that.
It got transformed into "?#?17weeks17songs?" Lol. Not sure if we can edit the titles to fix that up. Title: 17weeks17songs (2016): Fire Away Post by: CWazyTom on June 05, 2016, 12:01PM Week 1:

Today's song, "She Used To Be Mine" was also outstanding. Susan's voice is so amazing: both powerful and tender. And I love their song choices. Title: Re: ?#?17weeks17songs? (2016) Post by: Tiffany Gray on June 12, 2016, 01:45PM I really hope they keep doing covers on other parts of the tour and in the future. There are sooooooo many songs that Susan can sing!

But I have to go with "I Know You By Heart!"I LOVE that one too! They're all amazing! I think my absolute favorite so far has been "For Good" with "She Used To Be Mine" a very close second. Susan's voice is so beautiful, her taste is so good, and her guests (and Brian) are so talented, they can't really go wrong with these. Another thing that's really impressed me was how they've adapted to get both the audio and video so good, especially in the more recent videos. It's not like they have fancy video and recording equipment for these. The fact that they look and sound so good (studio quality good) is really impressive. Title: Re: ?#?17weeks17songs? (2016) Post by: Tiffany Gray on June 18, 2016, 06:45PM I love all of her covers too. I even liked the Justin Bieber cover. I am not a fan of his, but I do like that particular song. I've even covered it myself, and I think Susan sang it beautifully.

Title: Re: 17weeks17songs (2016) Post by: CWazyTom on July 13, 2016, 05:39PM Wow, so the topic post title supposed to be 17weeks 17songs with a hashtag in front of each 17, but I guess it didn't like that. It got transformed into "?#?17weeks17songs?" Lol. Not sure if we can edit the titles to fix that up. Haha, well that was easier than expected. I changed the subject of the first post in the topic (I removed the hashtag characters that didn't quite render correctly) and it fixed the whole topic heading. Yay! |
