biography:
Sir Barry Gibb, né le 1er septembre 1946 à Douglas sur l'île de Man, est un auteur-compositeur-interprète et producteur de disques anglo-américain. Il est surtout connu pour avoir été, à partir des années 1970, le chanteur principal des Bee Gees, groupe formé avec ses petits frères Robin et Maurice.

Fils de Hugh Gibb et de Barbara Pass, Barry grandit à Chorlton-cum-Hardy, dans la ville de Manchester au Nord-Ouest de l'Angleterre. Deuxième des cinq enfants du couple parental, Barry Gibb a une sœur aînée, Lesley Evans, née en 1945, et trois jeunes frères, aujourd'hui décédés: les jumeaux Maurice (1949-2003) et Robin (1949-2012), et Andy (1958-1988).

En 1958, sa famille déménage à Brisbane, en Australie.

Avec ses frères Robin et Maurice, il a créé le groupe de musique mondialement connu: les Bee Gees. À la fin des années soixante, il fut le «sex-symbol» du groupe et faisait craquer les filles, si bien qu'en 1969 il fut nommé «le séducteur de l'année» en Angleterre.

Barry est connu pour sa voix de fausset (falsetto en italien), une voix aiguë qu'il utilise notamment sur la chanson Stayin' Alive, et à ne pas confondre avec sa voix normale, car ce sont deux choses bien différentes. En effet, Barry n'a pas une voix particulièrement aiguë lorsqu'il chante normalement. C'est lorsqu'il chante en falsetto que sa voix donne un effet très aigu. Son frère Robin pouvait atteindre des notes plus hautes que Barry, mais il utilisait moins son falsetto que Barry. Cette utilisation du falsetto que Barry utilisa seulement à partir de 1975 deviendra la marque de fabrique des Bee Gees, et ne fera qu'accroître leur popularité.

Au début de la carrière du groupe, Robin et Maurice accompagnent Barry, Barry chantant les parties solo et la voix principale. Mais à partir de 1967, Robin chante également des parties solo et a maintenant un rôle aussi important que Barry. Cela créera une certaine rivalité entre Robin et Barry, au point que Robin quittera le groupe et entamera une carrière solo en 1969. Mais ils se réconcilient peu de temps après, et se rendent compte que pour avoir du succès, ils doivent rester tous les trois ensemble. Donc en 1970, Robin revient. «Si nous n'avions pas été frères, nous ne nous serions jamais retrouvés» dira-t-il. Ils ne se sépareront plus après cela jusqu'à la mort de Maurice en 2003.

Barry a également participé à la bande originale du film Grease. Il est, depuis le 21 mai 2012, le seul membre des Bee Gees encore vivant après la mort de Maurice et de Robin et le seul garçon survivant de la famille, avec la mort antérieure d'Andy. Il mena en parallèle de sa carrière avec les Bee Gees une carrière solo qu'il continue aujourd'hui. En 2016, il marque son retour avec un nouvel album In The Now qu'il a produit avec deux de ses fils.

Marié en 1970 à Linda Gray, Barry Gibb a quatre fils et une fille.

Shooting Stars

overview: Shooting Stars is a British television comedy panel game broadcast on BBC Two as a pilot in 1993, then as 3 full series from 1995 to 1997, then on BBC Choice from January to December 2002 with 2 series before returning to BBC Two for another 3 series from 2008 until its cancellation in 2011. Created and hosted by double-act Vic Reeves and Bob Mortimer, it uses the panel show format but with the comedians' often slapstick, surreal and anarchic humour does not rely on rules in order to function, with the pair apparently ignoring existing rules or inventing new ones as and when the mood takes them.

Fame Academy

overview:
Fame Academy was a televised competition to search for and educate new musical talents. The winner received a chance to become a successful music artist and part of the international franchise Star Academy known under various titles in various countries.

In the UK version, the prize consisted of a £1m recording contract with a major record company, plus the use of a luxury apartment in London and a sports car for one year. It was broadcast by the BBC and co-produced by an Endemol company called 'Initial'. The first series was won by David Sneddon and the second and final series by Alex Parks.

The show was so successful that the BBC decided to screen celebrity versions for Comic Relief. Starting 2003, Comic Relief Does Fame Academy saw celebrities singing as students of the Academy with proceeds from the phone votes being donated to the charity. This was far more successful than the original show, and many believe its success secured the second series of the main programme.

Skavlan is a Norwegian-Swedish television talk show hosted by Norwegian journalist Fredrik Skavlan. It premiered in Sweden on Sveriges Television in January 2009, and the first guests to appear on the show were former Prime Minister of Sweden Göran Persson and his wife Anitra Steen. On 8 May 2009, it was announced that Skavlan had been renewed for a second season. It was also announced that the show would no longer only be produced by SVT in Sweden; Skavlan would now be partly produced in Norway by the Norwegian Broadcasting Corporation. The first twelve episodes of Skavlan's second season were produced by SVT in Sweden, and the remaining twelve by NRK in Norway.

Skavlan speaks Norwegian and his dialog is therefore subtitled in Swedish in Sweden, even though the two languages are quite similar and mutually intelligible. If the persons being interviewed by Skavlan are Swedish, he often tells them to let him know if they do not understand what he is saying. Swedish novelist Jan Guillou has criticized SVT for subtitling the program, stating "there is no need for that. If the host had been Danish, subtitling would have been necessary, but with a Norwegian host it does not make any sense."

biography:
Robin Gibb, né le 22 décembre 1949 à Douglas dans l'île de Man (Grande-Bretagne) et mort le 20 mai 2012 à Londres (Angleterre), est un auteur-compositeur-interprète et producteur de disques anglais, membre des Bee Gees avec son frère Barry et son jumeau Maurice.

Fils de Barbara Pass et de Hugh Gibb, et né à Douglas sur l'île de Man, Robin Gibb est le frère jumeau de Maurice Gibb, et le plus âgé des deux, né 35 minutes avant Maurice. Troisième des cinq enfants, Robin avait une grande sœur, Lesley Evans (née en 1945) et trois frères: Barry (né en 1946), son jumeau Maurice (1949–2003) et Andrew (1958–1988). La mère de Gibb, Barbara, est née à Worsley, Salford. Dans les années 1950, la famille retourne vivre à Manchester, Angleterre. La famille a vécu à Keppel Road, Chorlton-cum-Hardy, et c'est à cet endroit que les jeunes frères Gibb ont chanté pour la toute première fois. À la fin de l'année 1958, la famille déménage à Brisbane, en Australie, et emménage dans l'un des quartiers les plus défavorisés de la métropole, Cribb Island.

Robin Gibb est évoqué dans un documentaire de la chaîne de télévision britannique BBC intitulée Who Do You Think You Are? diffusé pour la première fois le 21 septembre 2011. Cette série a révélé que l'arrière grand-père de Gibb était né dans la pauvreté à Paisley et allait devenir un soldat médaillé, et que son arrière grand-mère était sage-femme.

Robin soutenait le Parti travailliste britannique, et était un ami personnel de Tony Blair. Il se voulait également abstème et partisan du véganisme.

Robin chante avec deux de ses frères et d'autres musiciens sous différents noms avant la naissance du groupe des Bee Gees qui deviendra un groupe mondialement connu. C'est en Australie que débute la carrière musicale des frères Gibb, qui ont quelques succès avant de revenir en Angleterre en 1967.

Au début de la jeune carrière du groupe en 1963, Robin et Maurice accompagnent Barry. Barry chantant les parties solo et la voix principale. Mais à partir de 1965, Robin chante sur plusieurs morceaux sortis dans les deux albums australiens du groupe, tels que "I Don't Think It's Funny", "I am the world", "Glass house", "Monday's rain". La voix unique de Robin avec son vibrato aérien signe la marque des Bee Gees. Sa voix cristalline vient s'ajouter aux harmonies magiques du trio. À partir de 1967, Robin grave les premiers tubes de légende des Bee Gees avec Holidays, I can see Nobody, Massachusetts et I started a joke. Le son des Bee Gees se démarque des autres groupes. Il devient avec Barry les leaders du groupe. Cela créera une certaine rivalité entre Robin et Barry, au point que Robin quittera le groupe sur un désaccord pour le choix du single "Lamplight" ou "First of May" pour la sortie de l'album Odessa en février 1969.

Il entamera une carrière solo à l'automne 1969. Il sort son premier succès "Saved by the bell " qui grimpe à la 2ème place du hit parade britannique en septembre 1969. Mais ils se réconcilient peu de temps après, et se rendent compte que pour avoir du succès, ils doivent rester tous les trois ensemble. Donc en 1970, Robin revient. «Si nous n'avions pas été frères, nous ne nous serions jamais retrouvés» dira-t-il. Ils ne se sépareront plus après cela. Jusqu'à la mort de Maurice en 2003. ...

biography:
Maurice Gibb, né le 22 décembre 1949 à Douglas dans l'Île de Man (Grande-Bretagne) et mort à Miami Beach (États-Unis) le 12 janvier 2003, est un musicien, chanteur et auteur-compositeur-interprète anglais, plus connu comme membre des Bee Gees, formé avec son jumeau Robin Gibb et son frère aîné Barry Gibb.

Fils de Hugh Gibb, batteur amateur, et de Barbara Pass, Maurice naît sur l'Île de Man 35 minutes après son jumeau Robin. Il est le quatrième enfant d'une fratrie alors composée de Barry et d'une grande sœur, Lesley. Son troisième frère, Andy, verra le jour en neuf ans plus tard. En 1955, la famille s'établit dans le quartier de Chorlton-cum-Hardy à Manchester, en Angleterre. À cette époque, les trois frères aînés s'entraînent déjà au chant, et créent le croupe des Rattlesnakes avec deux voisins. Ils se produisent dans des cinémas locaux et lors de fêtes de quartiers.

Le groupe se dissout à la fin de l'année 1958, lorsque les Gibb déménagent à Brisbane, en Australie, et emménagent dans l'un des quartiers les plus défavorisés de la métropole, Cribb Island. Les trois frères sont indisciplinés et commettent quelques larcins. Barry déclare à ses frères qu'ils doivent prendre une décision: soit ils deviennent des voyous, soit ils deviennent des musiciens. C'est alors qu'ils créent le groupe des Bee Gees.

Le premier single du groupe était "The Battle of Blue And The Grey" mais il n'a pas réussi à se classer. Vers 1963, les frères Gibb travaillent avec Judy Stone, Johnny Devlin et Jimmy Hannan. En 1964, Maurice Gibb fait sa première apparition en tant qu'instrumentiste sur le beat-influence "Claustrophobia". Toujours en 1964, les frères Gibb ont travaillé avec Johnny Devlin et Trevor Gordon. Vers 1965, les frères Gibb travaillent avec Trevor Gordon, Michelle Rae et Noeleen Batley. En 1966, les trois frères Gibb ont écrit leur première chanson, "The Storm". Cette année-là également, Gibb a commencé sa carrière en tant que guitariste et bassiste du groupe; à peu près à la même époque, il enregistre sa première composition en solo, "All by Myself", sur laquelle il joue également de la guitare.

Au milieu de 1967, Bee Gees' 1st sort. L'album a été salué par les critiques qui l'ont comparé au Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band des Beatles, qui est sorti quelques semaines plus tôt. Au début de 1968, l'Horizontal est sorti. En août 1968, le groupe The Marbles sortent leur premier et unique succès "Only One Woman", une chanson co-écrite par Gibb.

À la mi-1968 sort le troisième LP du groupe, Idea. Il comprend la chanson "Kitty Can", qui présente la voix haute en harmonie de Maurice, avec Barry chantant en basse harmonie. Au début de 1969 sort Odessa, qui présente la voix solo de Maurice sur "Suddenly" et "I Laugh in Your Face". Le 19 mars 1969, jour où Robin annonce ses plans en tant qu'artiste solo, Gibb et ses camarades enregistrent "Tomorrow Tomorrow". ...
