Galaxy And Audrey

[jennyjoan]

God I am sick to death of that advert Galaxy and Audrey Hepburn singing Moon River - no harm to her but she couldn't sing - that's why Marni Nixon's voice was used in My Fair Lady.

Here in NI - it is on nearly every break. I succumbed last night and bought a galaxy bar and it was rotten but I ate it LOL

I a.gree with you jenny, plus your fat man on the Go Compare advert

[Mamyalynne]

Not my favourite advert either JJ - so wooden.

Very skilfully done, the CGI is amazing.

I know the ad is getting boring now but isn't she gorgeous ?

[jambutty]

I am sick of it too jj.

[hc4361]

She certainly is the most beautiful woman I have ever seen, the real Audrey, not the CG one :)

[Butterbun]

Time for upgrades. That Go-compare ad is the worse one.

[jambutty]

She is lovely, no doubt about it.

So the advert achieved one of it's aims , in your case .

That's why companies pay thousands to advertise

[hc4361]

I can't find out who is singing in the Galaxy advert

[albaqwerty]

I think it is the glorious Audrey herself hc, talented and very clever and brave woman and for 'them' to have decided to use her in a commercial has always annoyed me.
They must have paid loads of money to have her likeness in this advert.

[Mamyalynne]

It is good CGI, but still looks wooden.

[hc4361]

I'm sure they paid tons of money

[hc4361]

alba, you should hear what Galaxy has done to Moon River

I am aware of that Bazile but do recall eating a Galaxy when it first came out and thought chocolate then was delicious but no - no taste of anything.

[jennyjoan]

Also - would you get in with a strange man/chauffeur.

[Bazile]

i didn't know you lived in NI, JJ

Have you a strong irish accent ?

I love to hear the irish accent

[jennyjoan]

I do have a Belfast accent but do think it is a little cultured since I went to speech therapy - oh don't have lipth LOl - but do have a speech impediment due to my not being to able to hear the S sound.
