Editorial Reviews

Amazon.com

Given the multimedia frenzy that accompanied Princess Diana's untimely death, it's somehow appropriate that the tragedy should inspire this album--a 2 CD set featuring 36 old and new tracks by an array of international stars--with a portion of the proceeds going to a Memorial Fund established in the late Princess' name. But, with Diana's death as the only unifying thread (and a tenuous one at that), it's not a particularly consistent or cohesive listen. But it's hard to argue with such an impressive array of stars including Celine Dion, Michael Jackson, Whitney Houston, the Spice Girls, Barbra Streisand, Paul McCartney, Bruce Springsteen, Puff Daddy, Aretha Franklin, R.E.M., Sinead O'Connor, Seal, George Michael, Des'ree, Bryan Ferry, and Michael Bolton (joining opera star Placido Domingo to perform "Ave Maria"). --Scott Schinder

5.0 out of 5 stars A Fitting Tribute., December 16, 1999

By 

Becky Deline (Michigan) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Diana Princess of Wales Tribute (Audio CD)

This is my favorite CD. It is a fitting tribute to a very special woman. Some of my favorite songs on this CD are: "Make me a channel of your peace," "You are loved," "Angel," "Hymn to her," just to name a few, but I think the one song that best describes the way people feel about her passing is "Gone too soon" by Michael Jackson. May Diana rest in peace. God Bless Her.

3.0 out of 5 stars Beatiful album cover, good idea, too big a variety of music, January 20, 2002

This review is from: Diana Princess of Wales Tribute (Audio CD)

I got this album when it first came out, like so many of us did, and was a little disappointed. Many musicians contributed to this album, some of them first released their songs here, but the variety is too great. While I like the idea of a tribute to the Princess this double album is a very strange mix of music, I've always wondered how someone came up with the selection. I do like many of the selections, but was this list compiled from artists in Diana's colllection of recordings or did various family members come up with people they liked? I do like the idea that someone thought to include "I am in love with the world" by Chicken Shed, they are a childrens group that the Princess was a Patron of.

4.0 out of 5 stars Choked everytime, February 14, 2000

By 

Richard Singleton (USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Diana Princess of Wales Tribute (Audio CD)

"Gone too soon" has been mentioned already by one of the previous reviewers. It is Impossible NOT to cry when listening to this track on a jet plane - close(?) to heaven.

I always toast people who have gone when i'm at 39000 feet.

Try it and see if you don't agree.

God Rest you Diana.
