Cheesiest Act - Capucon brothers vs Il Divo?

[Brahmsian]

Ok.....although I really love the Faure music for piano and strings box set, featuring all French musicians, including Quatuor Ebene and the Capucon brothers, I've got a say I'm not a fan of the slick, suave (I'm God's gift to women machismo) look of the Capucon brothers, especially Gautier! 

Maybe they should start doing 'Old Spice' commercials.  Wonder if they call it 'Vieux Epicee' en France!

I know.....it is silly.  Who cares what they look like?  They are great musicians, no doubt about it.

I've seen some pictures of the Ebenes doing their best boy band imitation;  they can match les Freres.

I've always found it amusing in that totally irrelevant way that the taller brother plays the smaller instrument, and the shorter brother plays the larger instrument.  Compensation, perhaps?

And speaking of Old Spice, I have a bottle of their body wash (yes, I use it,  the old dependable) which is labeled in both English and French, with a series of slogans that ends up with

Drop-kicks dirt, then slams odor with a folding chair.

Lute contre le salete et les odeurs et les envoie au tapis pour le compte  grace a une impitoyable savate japonaise

I must admit that the "impitoyable savate japonaise" sound more impressive that the "folding chair".

Fortunately, if dirt and odor decide to fight back, you will be prepared because, the bottle assures me,  using it is

Like wearing an armor of man-scent
Comme si vous aviez enfile une armure de parfum viril

I tried it once, but I have say - never again!  It was so bloody overwhelmingly strong smelling.  Too perfumy.  My ex-wife said she could smell it from upstairs (our shower was on the main floor, and I had the door closed!)

Forget atomic bombs, let's just load up cannons with Old Spice and drop it where we see fit!

Ray likes strong English Breakfast Tea (it will burn a hole in your stomach)

Jeffrey likes Old Spice (it will burn a hole through the Earth's core!)

I think you have a crush.
