An Internacional Debut for Sandy E Junior,
By Sandygirl (New-York, USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Internacional (Audio CD)
This is Sandy e Junior's first English-Language CD. And I've gotta say it's GREAT. They are from Brazil but they can sing in English perfecty. Sandy has a beautiful and angelic singing voice. 18- year-old Sandy Leah Lima is now all grown up, you can tell by her choice of songs. This Cd includes a beautiful lyric booklet. There are beutiful photos of the duo on silky paper. All the English lyrics are included PLUS there are translations in Portuguese for the English songs. Plus there is a music video for the hit "Love Never Fails" that can be viewed on a Windows'98 computer. My favorite songs include "Love Never Fails", "Right Thing To Do" and "Must be Magic". Sandy sings solo and main vocals. And her 17-year-old brother Junior sinds solo in songs like "Don't Run Away In My Heart" and "This Is Me". There are alsi 2 bonus tracks in Portuguese. Enjoy

Sandy & Junior are to music what Xuxa was to TV,
This review is from: Internacional (Audio CD)
You haven't heard of these two? Well neither has anyone else outside of South America and this CD while making a valiant effort, shows us why.
Xuxa couldn't even keep our interest in the 90's when she tried to bring her kids show over here and the Lima siblings are no different. There is just a communication gap between the USA and Brazil in terms of entertainment. It's not a lack of talent, just a question of style. "Love Never Fails" is a great track, but is too tame for American radio, the same goes for the rest of the tracks featuring Sandy on vocals. Although she has an extremely beautiful voice and almost non-existent accent, you can tell she doesn't feel what she's saying-there is not a complete comprehension. Junior on the other hand, has a terrible voice and trying to push that through a Marc Anthony filter, when the USA could care less about that guy's music, was a bad choice. But "Precious Time" would be a great single if Marc Anthony or Ricky Martin ever wanted to make a comeback. In the end, American audiences want brother/sister duos like The White Stripes, not the latin Donny & Marie. Sorry kids, talvez num tempo diferente, num outro mundo. Boa sorte! |
