Amber Sings Again, ASH CD "music for elevators"

This is just a drive-by posting so if this has been posted already, please feel free to remove it.

From US weekly (April 23):

Members of the cast of Buffy the Vampire Slayer are collaborating on an album produced ny Anthony Stewart Head, who plays Buffy's mentor Rupert Giles. "It won't be some tired old rocker trying to get back to his roots," Head, 46, told US weekly. Costars James Marsters (Spike) and Amber Benson (Tara) provide some vocals, and Joss Whedon has contributed a song he wrote. Sadly the Slayer herself, SMG is sitting this one out.

Cool, eh!

Happy Easter FlyingBunny.

This is great news. I love Amber's voice. Of course there isn't anything that I don't like about Amber, so.....

Thanks for the info.

With all the singing Buffy cast members, I was wondering when we would have a Buffy musical episode. I am so happy to hear they will make an album instead. This is fantastic news!

Thanks FlyingBunny. I wonder when it will be released. Who knows, after the album is finished Joss may just decide to do a musical episode.

Amber sings again, that will be something to look forward to. I was very impressed by her singing in the Rocky Horror 25th show.

Ahhh Bliss!

Damn there goes my soul again.

Does anyone know if Amber has sung in anything else besides Rocky Horror? I would be very interested in finding out.

This is too cool for words. I love ASH's singing, and having Amber and James along with him is...well, too cool for words.

Do we have a time frame for this?

Maybe Christina Kane (Lindsey) could join them? I hear he's musical.

They may want to keep it just Buffy tho.

This album is going to ROCK! ASH was sooooo good when he sang at the PBP in February. James was also good playing back-up for FSM...

and of course Amber did real good singing on that Rocky Horror Picture Show special...

This is great news!! Suprise, suprise that SMG isnt going to be involved. Sounds like she doesnt get involved in much. Too busy do you think? or does she just fancy herself a bit above it all?
Whenever another cast member is asked about SMG in an interview you could almost read between the lines that she is not excactly one of the gang. She may even be a bit of a bitca. They certainly dont talk about her with the same fondness they talk about other, eg NB or AH
Anyone else pondered this?

ASH mentioned in DWM that she's much much busier then they are,but when she gets time off,she often hangs.

I wonder if Aly will sing...has anyone ever heard her sing? I'd love to hear her sing. And what about MT and NB? This sounds really good. I can't wait.

shazza I've also gotten that impression myself. However I remember hearing a clip of SMG singing the theme from The Brady Bunch and singing is definitely not one of her strong points.

I'm also curious about whether Alyson can sing. Has anyone ever heard her perform?

*shrug* Maybe she's just not musically inclined.quote:

Hee hee Roxton, is that a nice way of saying she can't sing?

Ah well, it doesn't matter. Amber *can* sing. I remember when I first heard her sing that RH song. I was so amazed. I was a 'mere' Tara fan (and a Willow/Tara fan of course) at the time, but hearing her sing like *that* (live!) was the start of the Amber admiring I am indulging in nowadays.

*Begin stalk*

Garfield are you sure that it was her singing that did it for you and not what she was wearing?

I too have heard SMG sing and...well..no. Not one of her strong points...deffinatly not.

*End stalk*

Hee hee Ginner, I had that one coming. I should have made clear right away, that I only had the sound file at first. I did *not* actually see the video till a month or so later. So it was her voice that got me. And oh yeah, when I *did* see the clip that went with it, I did have to pick my jaw of the floor.

FYI, Aly has mentioned in interviews that she can't carry a tune in a bucket - I'm paraphrasing, but you get the point

SMG seems very quiet and private off-screen - as is her right as a human being under the microscope of public scrutiny.

I have no idea whether she's a King Kamehameha Beeyatch or not (there's been PR both ways in that regard), but I think it's unfair to characterize her as not "part of the gang" or "bitchy" because she's possibly:

1. A quiet, private person

2. Much busier than her castmates

3. Not musically inclined

Let us not forget that when SMG hosted SNL, not only did Seth Green stop by for a cameo, but at the end of the show Sarah held up a hand-written sign that said:

I miss you Aly! Willow Rocks!

I agree with you wiccie. I think she is probably a very private person...not sure why i just think she is.
And whenever i see that picture of her and that sign...well i tend to laugh and think that they must all be really, really close.

Amber has also said more than once that SMG gives her rides to work all the time. Not something you'd do if you weren't friends with the person, I don't think.

Well no one is saying she is not friends with the cast. For whatever reason, she seems more aloof. But she is a wonderful actress, and that is all that matters to me.

ASH has mentioned that sarah is very professional and has many more demands on her time, she is on film more minutes of buffy per eppie than the rest of the cast members so she doesn't have as much down time on set, waiting around as the rest of them do
James M. in a recent interview had nothing but praise for sarah

and Amber thinks sara is great and she gives Amber lifts to work. So I'm in the 'sara has a heavier work load, a boyfriend who is not part of the cast reason to head out and spend time elsewhere, doesn't have a great singing voice,' camp.

besides which didn't all the neg. she's a bitch rumors come from a stunt guy who got fired ? I think such sources would have to be taken as well a bit jaded.

Well, not exactly just a stunt guy ; and not exactly 'she's a bitch rumours either..... It was Jeff Pruitt, the stunt coordinator of the show for the 4 first seasons, who departed the show, well of course last season. And he didn't say SMG was a bitch, he said that *he* had personal issues with her, regarding, it seems, the fact that ... well he used the term 'Little Princess' I think to describe how he saw her. Anyway, I wouldn't assume anything about SMG, because well I like her and she darn good at what she does. But I guess she and Pruitt just had diverging personalities.... But, back on topic.... not everybody can sing, so let's give the girl a break. Nobody's wondering why Nick Brendon isn't part of the team on this one.

Rose, hoping she doesn't sound snappy....
