Product Description

From Amazon.com

A hint: there are no Wham songs on George Michael's 10-tune tribute to the music of the 20th century. There is a song by the Police ("Roxanne"), but the reggae ballad is rendered in such a turgid manner, it resembles nothing so much as a lounge singer stoned on Quaaludes. Elsewhere, the silver-tongued former club kid covers Rodgers & Hart ("Where or When"), U2 ("Miss Sarajevo"), and Ewan MacColl ("The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face"). He pours so much calculated sentiment on top of each track that the entire record oozes a prefab corniness even Hallmark would recoil at. This is not to deny the power of George Michael's velvety, potent voice (although it does sound much better singing catchy dance-pop ditties) nor the fact that he's selected an interesting selection of ballads and folk and torch tunes. And Phil Ramone's production never veers from the middle of the road, unobtrusively shifting from smooth big-band jazz to Disney movie-ish harp accompaniment. If this CD is Michael's attempt to join the company of great song interpreters of the past, from Frank Sinatra to Billie Holiday, he will have to take a lot more chances and lose the sappy reserve. --Mike McGonigal

5.0 out of 5 stars jazzy classy, 2003/5/15
Nothing less than excellent.

I disagree with the above review by Mike McGonigal. Indeed, what is referred to as "lounge music" is CUSTOMARILY sung with UNBRIDLED ENERGY--as, say, the unquestionably-talented Harry Connick Jr does when he desperately tries to fire the audience up. But I personally prefer the SUBDUED-CLASSY style typical of the likes of, say, Laura Fygi--fully aware that many who go into a pub with a partner, sitting on a small table with a meal or drinks, talking quietly under candle or a lamp light, are not there for a show to stir their adrenalin; many of us go for the meal, for the drink, or indeed for the partner, with the music providing the AMBIENCE.

And this is what George Michael achieves with these ten songs, especially "The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face" and "You've Changed", and the faster-paced "Secret Love" and "My Baby Just Cares for Me". Even "Miss Sarajevo" is a refreshing variation of U2's original.

Play the album in the car, or while with a partner. Notice LATER how good a time you had, without the music taking centre stage. Then you'll know.

もう言う事なしの1枚ですね。

1.のダイナミックでジャジーなテイストから10.のクラシカルな雰囲気まで、
じっくり心を癒してくれる1枚です。
10.はRスチュアートもカバーしてるけど、ジョージの方がいいです!

5.0 out of 5 stars ジョージの心, 2006/4/27
このアルバムには20世紀に歌われた曲を集めたカバー。さほど有名曲はないけど、ジョージの歌声にびっくり。世界恐慌により株が暴落し大変だった頃を歌った1からやられた。よくこんな古い曲を知ってるなぁ〜と思いながら聴いていると当時の情景が頭に浮かんできて、自分まで「恵んで!」と叫びたくなる(笑)2はポリスのカバーだけど原曲よりテンポを落とし、じっくり聞かせる。個人的には原曲より好き。5はセリーヌも歌っているけどセリーヌより気持ちがすごく伝わってきてジョージの方が全然いい!その他はジャズを歌ったりジョージには珍しい曲も歌っている。どれもジョージの心のこもった歌声がすばらしい。
