5.0 out of 5 stars Styx Fans LOVE THIS CD!, April 21, 2000

I have been a Styx fan since 1974, and I don't appreciate someone speaking rubbish and claiming it to be the general feeling of Styx fans. Most of us true Styx fans have matured over the years. As my tastes have matured, so have Dennis DeYoung's artistic endeavors. It's ironic that most singers' voices get weaker as they get older and Dennis DeYoung's voice has actually gotten better. He has the most pristine tenor voice in pretty much any genre! This CD is wonderfully arranged and produced for optimum effect. DeYoung continues to stretch his talent into all different genres of music and does them all beautifully! Pilate's Dream from Jesus Christ Superstar, which is a song that he sang as a member of the cast, is on this CD. In February, I attended a sold out DeYoung concert that was packed to the rafters with Styx fans. It was Dennis with a 50 piece orchastra, Styx music, a couple of his better known solo efforts like Desert Moon, a couple of broadway tunes, AND music from a musical that DeYoung wrote {The Hunchback of Notre Dame (non-Disney version)}; the thousands of Styx fans in attendance were blown away by the enormity of this man's talent! I traveled from D.C. to Chicago for this concert and it was sooo worth it! May 12th, I will be there again as DeYoung kicks of his national tour and tapes his PBS special, but in the mean time, I will pacify myself by listening to this CD, Styx CD's, The Ultimate Collection, Hunchback, and periodicly reliving that incredible concert by viewing video clips of February's concert on DeYoung's official web site. As to the previous reviewer's insights about the innovative Tommy "Girls with Guns" Shaw, I need not waste my time on pronouncing what a lot of Styx fans think of his recent innovations because the empty seats at the recent Styx concerts, speak volumes! Amazon has a real winner here and at a great price! Buy it! You WILL love it! Sincerely, A true Styx fan!

5.0 out of 5 stars WOW, February 21, 2002

I have always been a STYX and DEYOUNG fan, but I was not prepared for this cd. Showtunes, come on, that was my reaction when I heard that was what his new cd was about. But after hearing it, I was amazed. Sure it not your normal music from him, or STYX, but who cares. Dennnis' voice has never sounded better. People have complained about him changing this and that about the songs. Who cares, that's what its all about, your idea on someone else's song. And what he does is fantastic. Someone to Watch Over Me, Memory, On The Street Where You Live, Bring Him Home, and It's in Every One of Us, are some of the greatest songs I've ever heard. And rest of the songs are not far behind, almost makes you forget that Dennis has forgot how to rock.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Perfect 10 on Broadway, December 3, 2006

I have known of Dennis DeYoung for a time now with his work with Styx. He never was a favorite singer of mine when it came to rock music. I bought "10 on Broadway" expecting it to be a self indulged crossover album done by a great rock singer who did a stint with "Jesus Christ Superstar" as Pilate. I put the cd on this morning and boy was I wrong. Not only did DeYoung out do himself, but it made me even think that he might be one of the best rock vocalist when it comes to technique and proper vocal emission. That never crossed my mind until I heard this album today! If you do not know who DeYoung is after listening to this album you would think for sure he was a broadway singer. This is legitimate as it comes folks. His voice on this album has a nice quality and blend especially for the more modern plays like "Jeckyl & Hyde", "Chess", "Les Mis" etc. that requires a pop edge anyway. Even the older Gershwin tunes was done in a fresh interpretation. The overdone song "Memory" even took me by surprise. His clear tenor voice is in tune, and belts out some high notes in true Broadway fashion. I have seen many modern plays on Broadway and I am telling you that DeYoung sounds better to me then some artists I have seen on stage without a doubt. The album is recorded in good taste not to mention that the acoustic production is flawless. Many of you DeYoung fans might be expecting some keyboard work from him, but he lends his hands on the accordian for only tune. To me this album shows DeYoung in his true vocal glory! This album is a perfect 10.
