Title: Great music -- weak vocals
Review: I'd like to set something straight. John Stevens couldn't sing on American Idol and he can't sing now. I think the only reason he even got a recording contract is that he sings "Sinatra-type" songs. You would think that he is the only young guy singing this type of music. Luckily, he is not.John Stevens still has an extremely thin voice, sings out of tune (although some of this has been fixed in studio) and sings with absolutely no passion or feeling. He still sounds like the scared, young understudy that he honestly should be. Perhaps this adds a little bit of innocence to the sound of this disc, but I would prefer to hear a stronger singer.The only reason I gave this CD two stars is that I enjoy the music and I am surprisingly listening to this CD a lot. Unfortunately, the suave arrangements can't save the weakness of the vocals.If you want to hear a young guy who can sing and sings the same style songs, check out Michael Buble. Now that guy can really sing!
Is the review positive or negative?
