Title: Not Subversive Enough
Review: Sinead O'Connor is a great vocalist. Forget, for a moment, all the publicity that ended up destroying her career (aside for the few remaining diehards) and think back to the first time you heard that voice. That voice. The one that gave you goosebumps on "The Lion and the Cobra" or brought you to tears on "I Do Not Want What I Have Not Got." Then, imagine it singing a batch of show tunes. Intriguing idea? Absolutely. Unfortunately there isn't enough attitude here.What this ends of being is a straight forward collection of these songs, which might be great for Barbara Striesand, but for Sinead we expect more. We expect a certain subversion and, sadly, we don't get it here. Oh the voice is still there, but the passion isn't. Diehards may like it, but then again by the time this was released, they were the only ones still listening.
Is the review positive or negative?
