It´s the second success for John in Germany, although not roughly that circuitous like some years before. Those who remember are pretty surprised about his extraordinary development. (Including me, Petra.) In the 80´s a neat looking teen idol still, are there only a handful people here in our (German) latitudes that had recognized his outstanding talent at that time. Therefore it´s a real surprise to see that five years ago oh so innocent looking lad as the front man of a rock band now. But one can hardly believe that mutation, and people tend to -- in spite of their flawless power rock -- measure BAD ENGLISH only on him and his classic pop song, although he points out again and again the ingenuity of his four band mates and emphasizes, to be only one of a five piece coequal whole. John Waite can´t get rid of this „Missing You“ image and one may argue if this might be one of many of reasons why BAD ENGLISH can´t catch on properly in Germany.
