Free Music Notes for Love Songs
Free Music Review: Great voice - a few surprise choices :-)
Hit: 4 Stars
Yes I do love this cd - don't get me wrong - I just don't understand some of the choices. This is titled Love Songs and yet out of nowhere is Little Drummer Boy! Hello! Doesn't anyone else think that is strange? Having said that, Jordan is still a great vocalist. He has a beautiful range (he does a good falsetto) and some of these songs make that range shine through. He does the most beautiful song with Deborah Gibson called Say Goodbye. It is stunning and a definate favourite of mine. I also love his versions of She's Got A Way and Drive. I love those songs at the best of times, but he's changed them up a bit and really done a great job. The only song I don't like is Careless Whisper. It didn't do anything for me. He's already prooved that he can write music, so now he's entitled to do some covers.
If you put out of your mind the fact that he used to be in one of the biggest and most successful boy bands in music history, you will also see for yourself how talented he is. This cd is really worth listening to and I am sure you'll enjoy it. It is fantastic.
Free Music Review: must have for JK collectors
Hit: 4 Stars
I've been a JK and NKOTB fan since 1989.. of course i'm one of the fans that puts teh FAN in Fanatic. this lastest album is better than the last (the Fix) and very different from his first (give it to you). I love hearing some Old favorites with some new ones and a few of these are on "the Fix" also. If your a NK collector like me, its a must have.. if your not that into him and love these old "love songs" its a must have. My husband wrinkled his nose at the old classics covered by Jordan, but then my husband just doenst get the JK thing.Free Music Review: Remember the 80s?
Hit: 4 Stars
Even if you don't remember the 80s this album will let you know what you missed. Jordan's voice has only improved with age, and his soulful renditions of 80s classics like "Careless Whisper" and "Waiting for a girl like you" combined with several original recordings make Love Songs a CD you need to have in your collection.Free Music Review: great
Hit: 4 Stars
great voice, great songs, great atmosphere that is created, great to get it on with the girls...Free Music Review: Jordan, "Where Is Your Heart Tonight"??
Hit: 3 Stars
Jordan Knight is one of the best, underrated singers alive today. However biased I may be, I would not say this if I didn't truly believe it. Both his falsetto and tenor have held me spellbound for over 15 years. He's one of those rare singers who can sing upbeat and slow songs equally well. Why, then, does "Love Songs" leave me wanting?? Probably because there is not enough of Jordan himself in these songs; his voice rings true, and yet, it's as if he's holding back. Sometimes, this is a good strategy; one can easily be too over-the-top and ruin an otherwise decent song. But not here; personally, I would've liked to have heard Jordan pour out his heart much more and use his trademark falsetto more often--certainly not on every song, which would've made even that boring--so as to convey the album's theme far more powerfully. Also,while I often wondered how certain songs would come out if sung by Jordan, now I know: as high-grade karaoke. 80s favorites such as "Careless Whisper", "Waiting For A Girl Like You" and "Drive" are all well sung, yet not sung differently enough for Jordan to make them truly his own. That's disappointing; given the overall feel of his debut and how "I Could Never Take the Place of Your Man" came out--and not many should even attempt to remake a Prince song--this compilation should've been far better than it is. The original songs here are what I really like and wish there were more of: first single "Say Goodbye" w/Deborah Gibson, "I Wish", and "Have You", "Where Is Your Heart Tonight"(previously heard on last year's EP, "The Fix"); all are heartfelt, bittersweet, midtempo ballads but each with their own unique character. Unfortunately, the split personality of the CD--half original, half covers--makes for a choppy listening experience, rather than a smooth transition from one song to the next. And "Little Drummer Boy" makes for an odd choice as a "bonus track", further disrupting the flow of the album--again, sung well enough, but why is it even here? (On Best Buy's edition of this CD, you can use a code to download another bonus track, Hall & Oates' "One on One" as remade by Jordan; QVC includes a 5 song bonus disc including acoustic versions of certain tracks from the album.) All in all, a good CD but not worthy of Jordan at his best, in days past.
