[Seto Kaiba]

Hmmmm... Ishtar or Sheryl Nome. Fancy lightshows I can do without, I want some decent songs.

[Gubaba]

I'm with Seto. Light shows are for Pink Floyd, I'd rather see a good singer.

So I went with Minmay, because I've seen Mari Iijima live about ten or eleven times, and I'm looking forward to the next show.

By the way...who's Yellow Dancer?

[UN Spacy]

I'd see BOMBER!

[Vepariga]

yellow dancer / Yellow belmont, my bad,i edited it so peeps know

By the way...who's Yellow Dancer?

Robotech's version of the female alter ego of Yellow Belmont from Mospeada.

Actually a much better vocalist than Reba West/Rebecca Forstadt (Robotech's Minmei), but still pretty awful due to bad writing and recycled Minmei songs.

[Gubaba]

yellow dancer / Yellow belmont, my bad,i edited it so peeps know

He's a Macross character...?

[Vepariga]

He's a Macross character...?

well he's from genesis climber mospeada or some others would know from 'robotech :new generation' , i just wanted to try and include as many as i could think of.

And yet no Ishtar or Wendy Rider... FOR SHAME!

[Robelwell202]

Awww... come on! Sharon Apple's last concert was so great, even the Macross itself gave her a standing ovation!

[Vepariga]

And yet no Ishtar or Wendy Rider... FOR SHAME!

*facepalms* dammit,let me edit lolz,ill get this poll good!

[JB0]

I voted Yellow. Just to fan the flames.

KILL THE ROBOTECHIE!111

[REbirth]

Hmm, a Basara (FIYA BOMBAH) x Sheryl Nome concert would be godly.

[UN Spacy]

Where's Lacus Clyne?

[Killer Robot]

Hmmmm... Ishtar or Sheryl Nome. Fancy lightshows I can do without, I want some decent songs.

On the contrary: decent songs I can get on any CD, when I go to a concert I want the live performance. Not that I don't want good music, but light show, stage presence, ability to excite a crowd - all of those add into what I can't get at home. That said, I'm still going with Sheryl Nome: she seems very much the consummate performer, and I like her music, so it's win-win.

[Bowen]

Either Sheryl of Basara, although a double billing would obviously be best

[VFTF1]

He's a Macross character...?

Poor Gubaba. Your attempts at irony are going completely unnoticed

Pete

(unable to vote because he'd dish out money to see more than just one)

JBO, you got me laughing as soon as I read your post More humor in any situation is allways appreciated, at least by me that is. That said I would pay to see a live show by more than one Fire Bomber and Sheryl are my two picks for stage performers as well as song options. I agree with Bowen, a double bill would be best, but if I have to pick just one I'll go with Sheryl. There are none of her songs that get irratating if you hear them again and again, plus she's prettier than Basara!

[MisaForever]

No, Gubaba just needs to STFU. He's being hard to talk with again. YELLOW DANCER IS FROM ROBOTECH AND IS PART OF ROBOTECH. ACCEPT IT.

[REbirth]

If I'm going to see Yellow in a concert, I must see Alto Saotome in his Sakura hime form too, otherwise, never.

[Xeros]

It's easy...

[VFTF1]

There should also be some options for diversification - for example:

Top Choice for Singing while giving me a lap dance: SHERYL

Top Choice for Singing to me on a sunny day in the park: RANKA

Top Choice for Singing to me in bed: Minmey

Top Choice for Singing to me in the shower; Basara

Wait...

[Mr March]

I'd go to a Sharon Apple concert.

[Killer Robot]

I'd go to a Sharon Apple concert.

I kinda wanted to go with Sharon Apple, but she makes me worry. Would I actually have fond memories of the show, or would I just come out with a dazed look saying, "It was better than Minmay, I want to see it again and again..."

[Bowen]

Glad you agree with me

And yeah, I'd rather see Sheryl on stage, especially in one of her racy outfits, than Basara

[taksraven]

I knew that Sheryl would be winning this one, because we are all pervy bastards.

Even though Sheryl is clearly taking the cake...I still voted more Minmei...she's always been my favorite.

[Vepariga]

i still hold my vote for sharon,get cool songs,big holographic show and a cool wristband.

[miriya]

Sharon Apple took #1 for me.

I know. When will people realize that "lightly ironic" is my default mode...?

[Renato]

Basara and Fire Bomber every time.

Yeah, Sheryl has good songs and everything, but at the end of the day, it's like asking me if I'd rather go see Mariah Carey or The Who.

Awesome, another Mariah Carey fan on MW!

[MDP310]

I have to say Fire Bomber, only because I'm a total metalhead and they're the closest thing to Metallica that Macross has had.

Although I might go to Sheryl...she's not annoyingly poppy like Britney Spears or someone.

Edited April 8, 2009 by MDP310

[Mr March]

Whoa. The Who? Metallica?

No offense, but Fire Bomber is Ziggy Stardust, at best. The Macross 7 music is definitely glam. But it gets me thinking about the fictional music acts of Macross. What would be their real world contemporaries, taking into account era, movements and popular styles. If I had to compare the fictional Macross idols to real world popular music acts, I'd choose something like this:

Lynn Minmay would definitely be a Donna Summer/Madonna fusion, right down to the late disco and early 80's pop influences.

Sharon Apple would be a Mylene Farmer/world music combination, with some house ala New Order thrown into the mix.

Fire Bomber would be early David Bowie/Iggy Pop glam/glitter rock with a sanitized Kiss-meets-Mötley Crüe wardrobe.

Sheryl Nome is like a Gwen Stefani/Kylie Minogue medley of alternative/retro pop with a diluted Cher-like stage personality.

For some reason, Fire Bomber reminded me of Cheap Trick. Not so much because of the music style, I think it's because when Cheap Trick went to Japan, everyone went apeshyte crazy for them. Plus, their album live from the Budokan is AWESOME. Plus, Fire Bomber played in a hugenormous space Budokan arena.
