Very very good!, December 11, 1999
This review is from: Introducing Michael Fredo (Audio CD)
If you like Backstreet Boys and NSync you'll Looove Michael Fredo. He has a very different, and unique voice and his Music is wonderful. It's Pop with a little more depth. He has some very pretty ballads like "Now You're Gone," And uptempo dancy songs like "This Time Around," and "Love All Over Again." I hope that he gets more recognition and popularity besides the Tommy Hilfiger Clothing ads because he deserves it! I recommend this Cd, You'll Love it if you love good Pop.

Fredo is now K5 and Better, September 2, 2003
This review is from: Introducing Michael Fredo (Audio CD)
Poor Michael Fredo-- mistakenly teamed up with Brittany spears on his first tour. (Yikes) Producers tried to make him into a marketable boy-toy. Now as a `man' his voice has grown, and he's incredible.
He recently played the "Tommy" stage at a Tori Amos concert, last week, with his brother Joe Fredo. His music is astonishing with: tight lyrics, and unique thoughts, and filled with raw emotion. The sad part is the poor guy is actually embarrassed about his boy-toy image from earlier in his career. It seems to overshadow his incredible talent. Luckily he has set up with a band, and is putting out some new music soon. This CD has its very good moment's and will give you a small taste of his talents, but the computer add-ins are an insult to his skills. I was shocked to discover Quincy Jones was one of the producers, Ouch! All the producers involved made bad, but typical, choices.
As for last week--Their performance was incredible, and they freely mingled with the crowd afterwards, signing CDs, and striking up conversations with fans. Michael and his brother Joe are sweet small town boys with incredible talent. they pass out hugs as easily as autographs. Their new band is K5, keep and eye out for their website. For now, Michael has a website set up you can check out. He has stepped out of the bright lights, NOT sold out, and started fresh. It's rare that one turns down the chance to go through the corporate door that guarantees CD sales. Yes, give the guy another chance.
I recommend seeing him and/or K5 live, and holding out for their new CD, but this one has some of the songs they sing live. They just sound better live. Buy the CD here or at the show, and get it autographed, as I did.

Great CD!, November 17, 1999
This review is from: Introducing Michael Fredo (Audio CD)
This CD is great! It's got some great fast songs like "This Time Around" and some slow beautiful ones such as "Now You're Gone". He is a lot like all the boybands combined into one. He even writes and co-writes some of his songs! So if you like pop music this is a great pick!
