This review is from: Someone To Watch Over Me (Audio CD)
There is a quality to Susan Boyle's voice that makes you sit up and listen. On some tracks she sounds an innocent 21 year old, on others a sophisticated mature lady, but on all tracks on this CD she certainly surprises you with the sincerity of her performance.
It is the best of the three albums she has released with a choice of songs that ranges from the very well-known to the obscure but all are extremely listenable. YOU HAVE TO BE THERE from the musical KRISTINA is a fantastic Diva song and Susan treats it accordingly unlike UNCHAINED MELODY which is given a light emotional touch. BOTH SIDES NOW and MAD WORLD are successful because of the Boyle interpretations and a piano version of SOMEONE TO WATCH OVER ME is a loverly adept conclusion to the album. All the tracks are ballads and I wonder if ever she will make an uptempo album. If she does I'm sure she will succeed and a change of pace could cement her as the most popular British singer ever.
