I was one of the most gung-ho Susan Boyle fans throughout the spring. I fell in love with her and her story and rooted for her triumph daily when her rough patch occurred. I ordered the CD before its release and ran to my player the minute I received it.
Although her voice is truly magical, I have to say that I am disappointed with the CD and have probably played it only three times. She certainly does demonstrate her vocal control--but that is the problem. I fell in love with a lusty, emotional performance style--a beautiful voice backed up by a great heart. These performances are so polished that the whole thing becomes background music, more like Celtic Woman than our Susan.
I am pleased that financially this album has put her in a deserved place of comfort in her life. But I hope the producers of the next album allow her to cut loose with some more raw vibrato than this sweetly done bit. I want to hear the lions that come at night more than the cozy little kitty. I would like to hear her interpretations of things ranging from Ave Maria to Climb Every Mountain and perhaps Danny Boy done in the immediate style of her first performance of I Dreamed a Dream!Get more detail about I Dreamed A Dream.
