I was quite disappointed in Susan Boyle's first CD, but it is more the fault of the producers of the album than Ms. Boyle. The choice of material was poor, in my opinion, and it is sort of Johnny One Note -- Not one upbeat or happy song in the whole lineup. Daydream Believer is not a funeral dirge. Her version of Wild Horses made me long for the Rolling Stones. There were two hymns -- one would have sufficed. Of course, her showstopper "I Dreamed a Dream" is included, but with overbearing orchestrations on this and other songs. Let the woman sing, for heaven's sake! I won't be listening again and again because it gets annoying to hear the solemn songs all the way through.Get more detail about I Dreamed A Dream.
