Not Just Juliet, Robin hit some pretty high notes in the song Lovers from Children of the World, and at the end of Love Me of the same album. It is very different from Barry's. Robin also had some falsetto on Main Course, on Fanny (Be Tender With My Love).

The falsetto on Please doesn't sound *anything* like Robin's, or Barry's, falsetto as I know them. The falsetto vocals on Please does not sound like it's natural to my ears, not like it could come out of *any* person's throat anyway. There is one man who sings/raps in the background and there is at least one female backing singer. It could be Robin doing the falsetto part but it might as well be one of the above mentioned backing singers or yet another backing singer but in any case this falsetto can't be made by any man on this planet without electronically changing the pitch of the recording. No one can sing falsetto like this, well, at least not one with his equipment intact anyway. ;) I don't even think a castrato singer could achieve a vocal like this but I have no way of knowing for sure. I don't think any boy in this day and age would want to loose his "a-hmmm" in order sing castrato.

But fantasize winning a contest where the Bee Gees came to spend the day at your house while you're away at work.

Wouldn't it be cool if you or I won a contest like that and the Bee Gees visited us. My younger sister, whose name is "Sevan" was submitted as a contestant by her husband, Greg, and she won. Her favorite artists are THE GOO GOO DOLLS. Johnny (the lead singer) is her favorite. There was a time when Sevan used to be a huge Robin Gibb fan. She loved the Bee Gees in her teens.
