Lake Louise Idol
Now that I got my Formula 1 fix and pardon my 5 year old scanner.....Ok after listening to the Voices CD in, out and over night. Of the so many tracks and all these are bona fide hits, very popular as can be seen by the recommendations given....it was a close fight, but.....
Somehow they all don't move my soul, Dido, Christina Aguilera, even Cyndi Lauper (!) .... were all pretty decent but somehow, that Close to You Long to Be element was missing , except maybe for one.
In My Daughter's Eyes - Martina McBride
Ok the low down is this, a lot of singers these days, you can't tell who they are unless someone tells you. Very few singers have a distinctive enough voice that immediately gets you sitting up on your seat and going woa! thats my fav singer I think, even if you havent heard the song before.
Johnny Mathis, Barry White, Dionne Warwick, Barbara Streisand, Tom Jones, Karen Carpenter, Cliff Richard, Gloria Estefan, Olivia Newton John, Englebert Humperdinck, Barry Manilow, Kenny Logins, Sandy Lam etc all had unique voices. This uniqueness made them all superstars with a huge following, instantly recognisable.
Today you can't tell Sheryl Crow from Christina Aguilera from Avril Lavigne, I think its got to do with the style of music, kinda nasal, with a drawl. Come to think of it, a lot of today's bands sound no different from the 80's style of Metallica/ACDC etc as I was listening to the radio the other day....I had this Burt Bacharach CD with Sheryl Crow singing one of his compositions and it blew me away. If only she would sing like this more often, but she chose to be a flower girl...her latest album is so so (yes I got it)
So my take is, this album is a nice collection, wish I spent my money elsewhere though...except for one redeeming song making it a keepers..(whew)
PS: Dang I screwed up my previous template......oh well new beginnings....

I tend to agree that most of today's can't beat the most of yesterday's (with exceptions). And to Sheryl Crow's mind-blowing rendition of 'One Less Bell to Answer' too.
My folks used to listen to Johnny Mathis and Humperdinck. I think I might still have their 45 rpm vinyl records in my mum's house.
What happened to your template? LB has changed his verdana to arial and you changed from arial to verdana? kekeke...
Hey... your picture, finally!!! WOW... body builder!!! COOL!!! :D

Talking about unique voices.. I guess many new singers do have it. It's just tht there's too much emphasize and hype on the packaging, ppl tend to overlook their talent.
Just look at those black gangsta rappers! Surprisingly, I like that singer Akon.... U heard his song 'Lonely.'

Fuuwah! I thought grizzly bear in the foreground of that new profile pix. LOL
A few muscle flexing poses with those mountains and lake in the background would make a superb calendar.
