A Fair Dinkum Aussie Girl

Sure its out of print, but that's way too much for any CD!
Vanessa has just released her new CD after several years (Oct 2007. Such a good Album and what a voice!, but please check out eBay Australia before paying $123USD here. )
Lets hope we continue to enjoy her unique talent for a long time to come.


Great singer
Here's a short story, classic I'm sure in the music industry. I'm giving this cd a 5 star rating because Vanessa has an amazing voice. Vanessa wanted to sing rock music but her record label wouldn't let her so she was forced to make pop music, which to Australia means budget/cheesy production/lyrics - basically generic American pop music (which is oh so stupid because 'Tent by the Sea' is such a pretty song that Vanessa wrote). How manufactured can you get? Anyway this obviously caused problems between her and them so this album is essentially made up of songs that didn't make the cut on her last album 'The Power', hence the appearance of older songs from her debut and the song she sung at the Olympics. Vanessa didn't want to release this record at all! And then they dropped her. So here we have an amazingly skilled singer with no record deal because Australia just doesn't get it *shaking my head*. If you ignore the bad production and just listen to Vanessa's voice and the passion she brings, you can enjoy it.


Finally Another Great Talent Who Has A New Creative Voice!
I would love to see Vanessa hit North America with a bang. It is so wonderful to see another great talent. Her hit from her first album was released in North America (Absolutely Everybody)but she hasn't gotten too much more recognition beyond that. Out of all the young stars, I must admit, this young singer has what it takes. Her vocal range is outstanding! You thought Mariah Carey had it, well let me welcome you to another amazing talent. I think Mariah has new competition out there, especially with the HUGE vocal range Vanessa has. I also think she has the energy and talent of Celine Dion. Whether or not Vanessa has claimed her stake in North America, hang tight, I am sure you will hear her name mentioned, in the time to come!

So nice to hear a amazing new talent!!!.


Turn To Me is a feel good song
(And you should also watch the music video that goes with the song - it's great!) There are a few songs that are on her previous CD as well as this one, but, it is some of the best songs that are repeated, so that okay. Vanessa's title song, Turn to Me is a great feel good song. I would recommend this CD to anyone who likes both up-beat dance music and slower music.


5 stars for the VOICE
Here we go again. . another young singer with a voice that is world class. . however, with songs that do not give her the oppurtunity to really get the respect and admiration that she deserves. Vanessa Amorosi is an unbelievable talent with a voice that can put Patti LaBelle, Tina Arena, even Celine on edge. Vanessa is still young which is evident in the less than inspiring pop/dance sound that she sings over. The song selection on the whole is just mediocre. If it weren't for the voice I would've passed on the this collection. There are some really good songs however. . . For instance "Tent by the Sea" a song that Vanessa wrote is actually a wonderful song with an expressive even intimate vocal. "Heroes Live Forever" the songs from the SYDNEY SUMMER OLYMPICS 2000 is gigantic. The vocal performance is one of the most impressive examples of pure vocal power and emotion I have ever heard with a closing note that she holds for a mere 25 seconds!! Vanessa Amorosi should break out of the teen/pop sound and sing more mature songs with a more organic production so that voice can shine even brighter.
Check this CD out for the singing alone. . . the songs are "good", at best, not great, yet the voice is PHENOMANAL!.
