Negative Positive
Title: ....HUH?.....
Review: I really think that Russell Watson is getting a little bit too much credit than he deserves...I personally feel that this CD is a pre-mature, unfortunate offspring of a short-lived hype. While he is backed by a touching story of his rise to the public eye, his voice is not the quality that I expect from an album what has such a title as "THE VOICE". He does have a pretty voice, but it's not the kind of voice that fits such arias as "Amor ti vieta" or "Nessun dorma"...both songs send chills down spines and cause goosebumps because it is well written music. Mr Watson will probably do well in crossover repertoire.. along with Sarah Brightman maybe, but in terms of being the new phenomenal tenor, he probably needs to allow his voice to mature some more, and in the meantime, listen to Pav, or Domingo, Carreras, Bjoerling, Gedda, or Wunderlich..just to see how it's really done.. In short, don't buy this CD.
Is the review positive or negative?
