When a friend mentioned to me Lynda Lemay's name, one year ago, I had never heard of her. But I can tell you, since that time I have bought this CD, as well as the former one. I truely recommend them to anyone who speaks French. Lynda has found very special ways to talk about very personal feelings (giving birth, divorce,...). But, at the same time, she can sing very funny songs about going to the hair dresser before a date, having an terrible first name, French people,...

It is definitely pleasant for French speaking people, and it should also be helpful for French teachers because she songs in a very distinct way.

Ben, j'ai acheté ce CD seulement pour la dernière chanson--Les Maudits Français, une chansons géniale et trop juste. Lemay a un oeil pour les parculiarités culturelles françaises. J'ai trouvé les autres bien intéressantes, bien écrites--et elle a une jolie voix claire (et quel accent, d'ailleurs, j'adore!). Je donne 4 étoiles car le CD était en général bien mais pas "brillant".

I bought this CD only for the last song, "the accursed French," a terrific song that is all too true. Lemay truly has an eye for the cultural ticks found in France. The other songs are also interesting and well written--Lemay has a clear and beautiful voice--and what an accent! Gotta love it. I give the CD 4 start in lieu of 5 because it was good, but not dazzling.
