Cher's Greatest Hits...again

Advantages: Most of the 80's/90's stuff is really rather good in hindsight
Disadvantages: She took that vocodered stuff too far, and there's no new songs on it

To accompany her neverending farewell tour (come on Cher, just say cheerio and be done with it), in 2003 Cher released another of her Greatest Hits collections. The tracklisting rarely varies on her collections, but you cant blame an old bird for trying when she really cant be bothered to go into the recording studio anymore. And her recent brand of vocoder-ed pop lead the way for the modern pop sound, so after 40 years of recording, perhaps she's ...
...the end and works her way back, well sort of. She misses a few stumbling blocks along the way, but the cream of the crop is all present and correct. Believe --------- As her biggest selling single, its only right that Believe should open the album and set the stall. With a smashing dance beat and an electro-voiced Cher belting out a sing along chorus, its no wonder this has become the soundtrack to every hen party and gay club in the country. ...

Why oh why...

Advantages: A beautiful voice...
Disadvantages: but not up to his usual high standard.

I have followed Andrea's career from the very beginning when Pavarotti took him under his wing. Pavarotti knew then what an exceptional asset Andrea would become for the opera world. Although Pavarotti, possessing an exceptional talent himself, drew in hordes to the world of classical and operatic music, it was Andrea who stole everyone's heart. It was Andrea who opened our eyes, ears and hearts to the type of music most of us shrugged aside and ...
...of tea... but when Andrea opens his mouth and lets out that first note, everyone's heart stops beating and we listen. Andrea turned operatic type songs into music the rest of the world wanted to hear, and by modernizing it, a whole new type of music was created. Thank God he never went on to become a lawyer as his father had intended... and thank God for such an extraordinary voice. How to describe such a voice... ANGELIC... simply the voice of ...

A Great Operatic Voice Singing Uplifting Songs

Advantages: A Nice Mixture Of Tracks
Disadvantages: None

...to better understand sound. Romanza is his third album and reached number 6 in the UK album charts. It is a greatest hits album released in 1997 and co-produced by no less than 5 producers. Although the album didn't reach No.1 in either the USA or the UK it has become one of the highest selling albums of all time selling something like 17 million copies worldwide to date. The style of the album is an easy listening classical genre in my opinion. ...
...known hit on the album. This is the solo version sung in Italian but he had a big hit single singing the English mixed with Italian version of it with Sarah Brightman and this is also on the album, track 15. This version is called Time To Say Goodbye and is a song frequently played at people's funerals. It is an uplifting song but at the same time can be interpreted as a last good bye song. There aren't any weak tracks on this album and the highlights ...

Anka Swings Like The Pendulum Do?

Advantages: One could be the only Metallica fan with this CD
Disadvantages: One could be the only Metallica fan with this CD

...to get a party rocking, but well worth having as easy-listening with a modern lyrical twist, and nice to be able to hear clearly what is being sung. A nice, mellow addition to one's collection of rock music, or a way of making one's jazz collection seem less nerdy. ...

This album will 'Make You Happy'!

Advantages: great voice, great vocals, upbeat tracks, great album
Disadvantages: May make you weepy..

...this dream could come true, falling like a leaf, falling like a star...' I love this particular track and Celine's voice and vocals flow really well in this song making it a really interesting track to listen to among others on this album. 'If That's What It Takes' is my favourite track on this album and I have listened to it over and over again with tears welling up on occassion... yup, I am a hopeless romantic:) This album also has other popular ...
...to Me Now', 'All By Myself' and 'Call the Man' which were hits in their own right. Celine Dion has career spanning over 20 years, she has got a great voice and absolutely fantastic vocals with the ability to reach pitches not many artists have or could. Although 'My Heart Will Go On' is not on this album, it is one of the her greatest hits that featured in the Titanic and if you have not listened to her other tracks, that is the sort of vocal ability ...
