Hello, fellow 'CATS'-lovers! I suppose I should now introduce myself. As you can see, I call myself musicgal3. The 'music' part is because music is my life - I play violin, flute, piccolo, recorder, a bit of piano and clarinet, and I sing. The 'gal' part might be obvious - I'm a girl. And the '3'...well, that's just random. And, no, it's not my favourite number.
I'm currently obsessed with 'CATS' (and who on here isn't?). It's just so awesome! I watched the DVD at least once a week, if not once a day - literally! I write a lot of fanfic about it (if you want, you can check out my stories here). My favourite characters are (in no particular order): [glow=pink,2,300]Munkustrap[/glow] [glow=pink,2,300]Mungojerrie[/glow] [glow=pink,2,300]Grizabella[/glow] [glow=pink,2,300]Jemima[/glow] [glow=pink,2,300]Victoria[/glow] [glow=pink,2,300]Cassandra[/glow] I also love [glow=white,2,300]Demeter[/glow] [glow=white,2,300]Plato[/glow] [glow=white,2,300]Tumblebrutus[/glow] [glow=white,2,300]Mistoffelees[/glow] And everyone else is just awesome. Well, except for maybe Macavity. And I don't like Skimbleshanks or Tugger all that much, try as I do to like them. But, hey - they're cats. They're still cool. (Shame they've got the catchiest songs...lol.)
Anyways...so...I think that's it for now. If I think of anything else you might like to know about me, I'll add it later.

Hey musicgal3!^^ Welcome to Pedantical Cats. I'm electricia, second admin here, 20 years old, crazy for Electra ((is already said by my nick ![:P](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/tongue.png) ^^)), live in Germany and am also a singer and writer. I'm really impressed; I started learning piano but gave up soon because the success like in singing couldn't be reached. ![::)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/eyesroll.png) But probably I also was just too lazy and impatient! ;D My favos ... let me think: Electra, Jemima, Bombalurina, Victoria, Demeter ((particular order)) => my Top5 of queens and ... Alonzo, Plato, Pouncival, Munkustrap, Macavity ((yes, I also like Macavity ;D)) => my Top5 of toms. Pretty different I would say ![:)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/smiley.png)

Hello and welcome! That's amazing you play all of those instruments. I was in both band and chorus in my high school, where I played the flute and sang alto. Music is awesome!
My favorite characters from Cats are Mistoffelees and Munkustrap, but I also really like Skimbleshanks, Etcetera, Mungojerrie, and Rumpleteazer. I think I like Pouncival as well, although I still have some trouble telling him apart from Tumblebrutus XD.
A pleasure to meet you!

What's crackin'? HA! I watch CATS every day too, (sometimes twice a day...yay for us!) Welcome to Pedantical Cats. It's supposed to be an RP, but since I got here we mostly just talk about the movie XD Pointing out the goofs and whatnot. I'm also a fanfic writer at FF.net. In the middle of writing an epic CATS fic called "Light of the Jellicle Moon". Peep it out when you got the time. My fav. CATS characters are Tugger (I don't mind being one of the only ones here who turns into a bobblehead when he shakes his money-maker XD), Munkustrap, Mistoffelees, Alonzo and the cockney calico twins, Mungojerrie and Rumpleteazer. Not a real fan of any of the queens...Cassandra is cool, I guess, but I want to break her arm sometimes when she does this one stupid move (it's supposed to be Egyptian, but seriously, she looks like a hood ornament...) Anyways, have fun here ![:)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/smiley.png)

Thankyou all for the kind and warm welcome! It's so lovely to 'meet' you all! ![:)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/smiley.png)
electricia --> Wow, that is so cool that you live in Germany! I've always wanted to go there...*goes into dreamland* Ich lerne Deutsch in der Schule. ;D What vocal range do you have?
Pippin --> Thanks! ![:)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/smiley.png)
mwroach --> Oh, yes! I'm actually reading that one at the moment. A pleasure to 'meet' the author. ![:)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/smiley.png)
Wow, I use a lot of smiley faces...meh. ;D

Uhm ... actually I prefer posting in English around here, but ... Echt? Das ist ja hammergeil! I selber will unbedingt mal nach Amerika! ;D But I find it always awesome if people want to visit Germany! *giggles happy* Mhm ... anything between strong soprano and mezzo ... I can sing Jemima's lines without many problems thanks to ten years of classical singing lessons ((preferable the English lyrics; the German ones are harder to sing clear and bright in the height)) but also Bombalurina quite well. I love to sing her lines, her dark voice has something reassuring and nasty! ![:P](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/tongue.png) ;D I will give the question back to you: what's your vocal range?^^

Haha, we have the same range! I love singing Jemima's lines and Demeter's.
Oh, I just thought of something else you might like to know about me: I come from/live in Australia. (Nicht Amerika.)

Das ist kein Problem^^ Australien muss auch super-awesome sein! ![:D](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/grin.png) I know some RP'rs from Australia but I'm curious in general. If I went on holidays I never left Europe ![:P](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/tongue.png) ;D Insider-question ![;)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/wink.png) : Which voice do you like more - Helen Massie or Veerle Casteleyn? ![:-*](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/kiss.png)

Oooh, that's a tough one. They are both so beautiful is their respective ways, so I have to say I love them both. Whose do you prefer?

I want to say quite clear that Veerle's own voice tops Helen's a thousand times in my opinion. Helen Massie might be a good singer but when I watch and listen to the DVD I have the feeling that her voice is overstressed in the height; it becomes trembling and thin though she reaches the tones but with much effort. Veerle sings bright and clear and doesn't seem to have problems. She sings it like it would be the easiest thing in the world ![:)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/smiley.png) My dad, former teacher for music lessons, always became excited when my parents watched the movie with me ((I forced them! ;D)) when Jemima sung. He said they at least could have found a better voice for her^^ He's pretty directly in what he says ![:P](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/tongue.png)
