4.0 out of 5 stars Growth as an artist... December 23, 2010

By Christopher

Format:Audio CD

I must admit at first I was not very impressed with this album. I did enjoy the single "I Cho am a woman" and expected to find that song on here and more like it, but no. My attitude toward this album changed however after seeing Margaret in concert and having her tie these songs in with her live act. I developed an entirely new take on the album and now I own it, and appreciate it way more than someone browsing could possibly do in 30 second clips. It may be hard for fans who expect a certain routine, and are too unwilling to give Margaret more wiggle room as an artist. If you go into this album with an open mind you will find her voice is strong enough to pull it off, and the lyrics are clever. As a stand alone album I will agree it feels a bit out of place, but when incorporated with her live show, it's absolutely brilliant!

1.0 out of 5 stars Oh Margaret... I really want to like you! September 3, 2010

By Alan

I've been a fan for years. I've paid and seen you live numerous times but this is just awful. I am not sure when this started, it started at various points with various people for you but lately what is the deal? First the God awful Cho Show and now this? Beautiful was funny in moments but already seems really dated because of its slapstick politics. I actually appreciate the political and comedic hand holding unlike others but Im just not into this. There is nothing really funny about this album. There isnt even any real MUSICAL talent in this album, in spite of the big name musicians who appear on the songs (some of which I adore and respect! ie: Ani Difranco). So far we have The Cho Show which was just not that funny and now this which isnt humourous at all. I really want to like you and respect your work but there has to be a steady stream of quality in your work before someone finally just says "I've had enough". Dont worry, I feel the same way about Tori Amos and Janet Jackson. I just cant bring myself to spend money on them anymore. Please don't fall into this catagory. Thank God for Rhapsody so I diddnt have to pay for it... Margaret, get your stuff together. This album is garbage.

4.0 out of 5 stars Surprising October 4, 2010

By C. Rogers

Format:Audio CD|Amazon Verified Purchase

If you're looking for a stand-up routine, look elsewhere. All Ms. Cho's other cd's have that covered. This is a music album. Some tracks are straight up comedy/spoofs, while others stand on their own as decent songs. I was very pleasantly surprised listening to the album that there are a couple tracks in there that I really enjoyed (beyond the humorous lyrics!) Good stuff, but go into with an open mind. It's music AND it's funny.
