Full review
This is one of 2 Michael Ball albums I have at the moment (I will be buying more) and of the 2 this is my favourite.

This is his own selection of songs which he has chosen, as he says, as some of the best examples of contemporary music.

As a big fan of John Miles, I obviously like the title track. Not quite sure why there is a small instrumental version of this at the beginning, and the whole song is at the end, but never mind.

There are some tracks on here which make me turn the volume up. The Show Must Go On is probably one of my all time favourites. He really gives this everything he's got, and it shows the real power and depth of his voice. Fantastic track.

Everlasting Love - another great song sung really well. I like this song anyway, but his voice makes it even better.

I Am Loved - this is one of his own songs, but it's a nice track and his voice certainly comes through.

There are some songs on there which I've never really been fond of, but he makes them sound bearable. I can't stand Sting, but Michaels version of Fields of Gold is well worth listening to, as is Desperado.

I was a little wary of seeing Life On mars on the playlist. Bowie obviously has a style of his own, but Michael more than does it justice. Great Track.

His rendition of You Raise Me Up just shows the power of his voice again. Westlife need 4 of them to get this song across, whereas Michael can get the full emotion of it with just his voice.

If there are any weak tracks for me then they are Desperado, and Bridge Over troubled Water. No reflection on his voice, more that I'm not a big fan of the songs.

This is a good CD from a great singer. I play it in my car when I'm out and about and I've not got fed up with it yet.
