Title: Surprised and Let Down
Product review: I am a Bette Midler fan and was expecting something special. Tribute to Clooney is faaaaaaarrrrrr from especially good. The songs are not incredibly orchestrated. And Bette doesn't do gorgeous interpretations of Clooney standards.The voice is fading and that's okay because Bette's aging (like all of us) but she did this as a "NOVELTY" and it just doesn't work very well.Barry Manilow, the grand wizard of Corny-ness doesn't help this album out. He just makes it's IRRELEVANCE all that much more apparent.Manilow and Midler together now is CAMPY NOSTAGLIA!The songs were done far better by Clooney. Bette should've explored how she could bring out the "freshness" of each song. She didn't do it.I'm a Midler fan who was disappointed and this cd will be up for sale very, very soon.
