Barry Manilow really delivers music and passion at the Las Vegas Hilton
If you’re a Manilow ‘fanilow,’ Barry Manilow’s Music and Passion show at the Las Vegas Hilton is a must-see.
Although, as he sings in I Write the Songs, he’s “been alive forever,” he’s remarkably in-touch with what it is all good entertainers do. He’s a showman, a performer, and he surrounds himself with people who are just as talented as he is.
The musicians and back-up singers were just as impressive as Manilow.
Music and Passion is well-written and includes a good variety of music from the past handful of decades.
It’s apparent that Manilow has had some work done, but what self-respecting, aging celebrity hasn’t? He’s still in good voice and he actually sings throughout his show (unlike some other celebrities who will remain nameless, Ms. Sing-Speak Braxton).
I didn’t expect to enjoy Manilow’s performance — no, I’m not a fanilow. But I have to admit, as far as Las Vegas shows go, it’s one of the better ones I’ve seen.
