Title: Awful, just awful!
Review: I'm glad that a current pop star would sing this material, bringing these classic American standards to a new audience...but I'm not happy that it's THIS "singer"! The man has no voice at all, he sings out of tune, his diction (in a phony sounding "American" accent) is terrible, and his "interpretation" of material that cries out for personality, communication and emotional commitment, is monotonous, uninvolved and flat.But who am I to say? The man makes scads of money...Maybe his ugly sound works for his own songs, but not for these!Harry Connick Jr. does it better, not to speak of Sinatra, Tony Bennett... Avoid this disc!
