Customer Reviews 5 STARS AND THEN SOME !! I wish you could still give us that joy. Oh Julie, the songs you sang on this CD are superb. If you can only sing in the low registers, give us jazz!! You can do it I just know you can!!. Pretty Sad, Her legend is built on "The Sound of Music" and "Mary Poppins" and other glorious roles. Hollywood veteran Julie Andrews has had a glorious career, but not without its downsides. Her abilities as a singer were never impressive or great, her voice often sounded weak, but she always knew how to sing around her very limited vocal range. On this collection she performs some of the greatest Broadway tunes ever written and even though she does a good job, her voice just doesn't hold up against many of these tunes. Her warmth is felt all over the album, in "Here I'll Stay" she wraps her gentle, but narrow, voice around it and in "My Funny Valentine" she sticks to the lower register of her voice. However, in the re-recording of her classic "Sound of Music" and in "On a Clear Day You Can See Forever" her voice fails her, it often sounds thin and airy and it's actually quite sad to listen to. When all is said and done Julie Andrews remains a great talent, and most of that talent is largely due to her amazing capability as a performer and her genuine warmth. . I FELL IN LOVE WITH JULIE ALL OVER AGAIN As a young kid growing up in the Philippines I remember my Dad playing his state-of-the-art Aiwa tape recorder back in the 60s and hearing Julie Andrews' voice - truly the voice of an angel! Now, hearing these songs again with adult ears I fell in love with her voice all over again ! . .
