5.0 out of 5 stars Michael Crawford's voice will fill your heart forever., September 5, 1999

This review is from: Favorite Love Songs (Audio CD)

I hve been a fan of Michael Crawford ever since I first heard "Music of the Night". This man has one of the most beautiful voices of any singer I know. I have all of his CD's and listen to them on a daily basis. I truly believe that anyone who can apreciate his music has an apreciation for all. He has a way to open hearts through his music, just like he has opened mine.

5.0 out of 5 stars Michael Crawford is definitely THE Angel of Music, June 24, 1999

Michael Crawford is my favorite singer, and I love this CD. It has all of my favorite songs on it. Especially the "Power of Love." I have to listen to it about three or four times before i listen to the rest of the CD. I especially like how the base drum is used on the line, "The sound of your heart beating," to simulate the beating of someone's heart in the song, "Power of love." Ya gotta get the CD.

What I loved best about this album(and what makes it stand out from other albums of the same genre)is the GENUINE feeling that is heard in Michael's voice. He does not simply SING a lyric, but rather PERFORMS it, as an actor would not simply SPEAK a line but instead BECOMES that character he is playing.

Like all GREAT singers, Crawford has the gift to make you FEEL his emotions, and experience WITH him what he is describing in song. His vocal performance is made all the more powerful by his technical prowess: he has TREMENDOUS control over his voice and can effortlessly soar up and down the musical scale, holding a high note and/or bending it WELL BEYOND the capabilities of most singers nowadays.

I loved his beautifully effective interpretations here of old standards, but what REALLY delighted me was his performance here of "The Music Of The Night". I think THIS version easily outshines the ORIGINAL, for two reasons:1.the musical arrangement HERE is more delicate, so Michael's voice comes across more clearly; 2.Michael paces his voice more slowly and deliberately, allowing the listener to really FEEL the wealth of emotion to be found in that GLORIOUS voice of his!

I would highly recommend this album to any fan of Michael Crawford, and ESPECIALLY to anyone who says that there are NO current theatre actors whose voice offers anything MORE than mere technical skill. To THEM I'd say "Do yourself a FAVOR, check out MICHAEL CRAWFORD!"
