Tipping The Hat: The Tributes

Answered by: Melanie Champion (Event Manager)

Band: The Tributes - feat. Carlos C Major, Madam Parker, Berni Love & Maxine Champion.

Which act are you paying tribute to and why? Michael Jackson and Whitney Houston because they were both great friends. Their music created the soundtrack to our lives. We did this show in 2013, the people loved it and requested it again.

What was their best period musically? Whitney: 1985 - 1987; MJ: 1979 - 1991.

Your favourite song of theirs and why? The Greatest Love Of All because it's my karaoke song, and Children Are Our Future. The Way You Make Me Feel because I always wanted to be the girl in the video clip.

Which album of theirs would you give to a newbie who had no idea about them to best represent them (and why)? I can't choose just one for MJ, he constantly evolved as an artist, so, Off The Wall, Thriller, Bad & Dangerous. I can't choose between Whitney's two self-titled albums Whitney Houston & Whitney.

When and where is your gig giving them the nod? 14 Jul, The Basement. Tickets are $40 online at moshtix.com.au
