That's right! I should have mentioned Lee Curreri over Carlo Imperato. Lee couldn't sing to save his life. As for Leroy, I think it was the episode "Tomorrow's Farewell" I was like "I'm a big fan of yours Gene, but man, you should NOT be singing."

How far along in the set have you gotten?

I once read somewhere that even Gene Anthony Ray's mother told him that he should stop singing and just stick to dancing lol

I've watched the first 7 so far. I'll probably watch a couple more and then save the rest of them to watch in a month or two, or until I hear a Season 2 announcement

I've been watching a couple episodes every weekend. I've got so many other TV-DVD sets to watch that I haven't finished lol I'm taking my time watching The White Shadow as well.

Same situation with me. I'm backed up with stuff I haven't even started let alone stuff I have to continue. I've only watched three episodes on The White Shadow set so far.

I just finished watching the "But Seriously Folks" episode, and the song was already over for five minutes before I realized that the song Danny was singing was the same song Leroy did in "Tomorrow's Farewell" (Come What May). I'll have to check them both out again to decide who did a better job with the song.

I watched the entire DVD in three or four days. I forgot how much I loved this show when I was a kid. I have the Kids From Fame Live album and I had forgotten from which episode the songs came. I was really nice seeing them again. I can't wait for the second season.
I have to totally agree about some of the guys singing. I still cringe when I hear Leroy sing "Come what Maaaaay".

Julie too, I really like It's Gonna Be A Long Night, but her voice is just.

I also considered going through the set quickly because it had been a few years since I've seen the show but I decided to savor it slowly and spread the episodes out. Like you, I can't wait for the second season either. Let's just hope it actually happens.

In the Season 4 episode "Who Am I, Really?", Nicole sings a song called "Come What May" as well but it is Patti LaBelle's 1979 song "Come What May", not the one both Leroy and Danny had sung in Season 1. Nia Peeples has mentioned in several interviews that Patti's "Come What May" is her favorite song that she sang during her three seasons on Fame

Hope I won't have to wait too long for the season 4 dvd to see that (hint Sony/MGM)
