Free Music Notes for The Songs that Got Away
Free Music Review: Pleasant, but not up to standard
Hit: 3 Stars
I love Sarah Brightman's singing and her musical style as presented on Eden and La Luna. This CD is completely different in style from those two. I find it enjoyable, but it is not my favorite. Her singing is nothing special on this CD, it doesn't display her vocal range or talent in the way that her other CDs do, especially her CD "Surrender", her vocals are absolutely stunning on that CD.Free Music Review: A heroine....a LANDMARK?
Hit: 3 Stars
Now, don't think that I'm trashing Sarah Brightman; I respect her as a heroine with attitude, no goddes but just an average person with unique styles. However, I don't think this CD is really up to it like her later releases are. There are some good tracks but most of the rest don't cut the mustard. Only really recommended for die-hard theater and SB fans. She's got better works out there.Free Music Review: Why The Puccini Aria?
Hit: 3 Stars
Sara Brightman's pleasent but limited voice finds a good home in the wonderful world of Broadway.However, she has no business singing Puccini's "Chi il bel sogno di Doretta"! She completely lacks the volume, power, and musical espression essential to convey this song effectively. Listen to a clip of Renee Fleming performing this masterpiece and you'll see what I mean!Free Music Review: Good, for Sarah Brightman
Hit: 2 Stars
Some people just love Sarah's voice, but I don't see what's so special about it. She sings in two sorts of ways, the first one is lovely, simple, forgetable, and the other sounds like Stitch with a high voice. This CD does her justice, though. A lot of the tunes are catchy and nice (how she sings them could be better) but the one I really like is "Three cornered tune." Now that's a good song! She does not have a particularly bad voice, but nothing interesting - that's for sure. And when she tries to act in her music she sounds even worse! But that's alright. After all, everyone has a different style. A highlight of this CD includes "Mr. Monotony," which, unfortunatly, did not come with lyrics in the CD case. Too bad, because its a great song. At the end of this record, though, she writes about these songs and - wow! It is amazing how many shows that song was taken out of! At one point it said it had Judy Garland singing it, and when I try to imagine her doing it I know that must have been awesome. I really want to hear Judy Garland singing this song sometime. Maybe I'll find it here on Amazon... But anyway, back to Sarah Brightman. The only other thing I can think of to say at the moment is that from what I've heard of her records, this is as good as it gets. And also, the track titled "Dreamers" is nice. I like the tune and she doesn't sing it too bad, either. It would be a good song to be played at a graduation. Only after a while the sound of it gets a little creepy and annoying. And its sticky, too. "Silent heart" is a classic, though she shouldn't sing it twice. For you see, she sings it, and then you think, "Ah, that's a sweet song. Wonderful words, soft tune," and the music gets at a great stoping point and then comes back for an encore (as one of Sarah's other records is titled). And then we have to listen to it all over again - and its not as good the second time. So overall is it good? Yes, it is. Though perhaps not good enough.Free Music Review: BIG disappointment
Hit: 2 Stars
Well, they should have let these songs stay lost. This was not very good at all. I did not like the song selection. Her voice was good, but the songs were rather limp; not what I call easy to listen to or to get into. I love it when she sings opera though, so maybe that is why I don not like this one at all. I suppose if you like show tunes that never were popular, you might like this CD. I should have listened to the previous posts!!!
