Title: Donny, what were you thinking?? Why do "Muzak" 70's songs?
Product review: Oh Donny...what were you thinking?? This album is absolutely horrendous! (Which is heartbreaking for me to say, as I'm such a huge fan of yours. I love everything you've ever done...except this.)Perhaps if you'd tried new, fresh arrangemets for these tired, tired 70's songs, it MIGHT have worked.But why pick songs that have been relegated to elevator/grocery store "Muzak" when there are so many great songs out there to cover??? (And adding insult to injury, to do them with arrangement virtually identical to the originals??) I don't get it.Perhaps next time Donny will cover some classic Motown songs with cutting edge arrangements (songs he performed extraordinarily well during the concert segments of the 70's "Donny & Marie" Show), Stevie Wonder or other songs. (Or even more Broadway tunes, such as "I Dreamed A Dream" from Les Miserables and other classic shows would have been wonderful compared to this.)
Would you say this review depicts the product in a flattering or unflattering light?
