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.

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.

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!

This CD blew me away I didn't know that there were still teen acts that wrote good music. "Love All Over Agian"is one or the best songs I have ever heard. Even though he didn't write all the songs on his album the ones he did write are really good. I think that it was a good move that he appered on the Tommy Jeans commercial. He dirserves all of his fame. Props to Andy Hillfigger to getting this guy signed.

I heard his song, "This Time Around" on the Tommy Hilfiger commercial and I loved it. His CD is really cool and I like his voice. If you don't know if you should get it or not..get it! (Listen to a sound clip!)

If you have not went out and bought the cd, or the single of "This time around," you have got to be missing out on something special.Michael's music is beautiful a combination of pop and r&b is great.This is a cd for all ages.MICHAEL IS SIMPLY THE BEST IN THE WORLD RIGHT NOW!!!!!

Mike Fredo has an incredible talent. He can capture you far too easily with his voice. www.MikeFredo.com
Due to poor promotion, not enough people heard of Michael or were blessed enough to hear his CD. But if you give it a chance you'll add it to your list of favorites!
Mike has been working on a lot of new music since his release in '99 and soon you'll be able to add another CD by Fredo to your collection.
So if you LOVED this CD as much as I did... Then pass the word about Michael along...
This Time Around Michael is doing it right - he's putting out an album he can really be proud of ;)

I knew Michael when he sang in the church choir I directed. He was great then and I knew he would go far, but he just keeps amazing me. His voice is so smooth. We used to call it "angelic". I think the term should still apply. He has mastery of a wonderful range, both vocally but artistically as well. My favorite is "This Time Around", but I am also entranced by "Heartbreaker". I feel the emotion and pain in his song for his father, "Your Gone". What a song writer. I hope Mike continues in his success and that he continues to surprise us all. You can help. BUY THIS CD NOW!

Michael Fredo is nothing special, so to speak. His songs are produced with the chorus coming up quick and he doesn't have a great voice to make up for the sap. Maybe he would be gaining in populairty if he came before Backstreet Boys, NSYNC, or even Britney Spears (but then again, BSB, Nsync, and Britney _have_ talent). But, he did not. I would also like to give my review of Michael Fredo singing live (he was an opening act on Britney Spears' 1999 summer tour)... let's just say that he was not good at all. His performance did not keep the crowld interested and his voice could not carry in a live situation. Another thing that annoys me about Fredo is that he is being backed by his Uncle Tommy Hillfiger, even getting his own commercial that is totally fake. One last note of warning, do not pick up this cd, borrow it from a friend.

MICHAEL FREDO's debut album is unfortunately very weak. His voice is mediocre but his choice of cuts on this disc has done him total wrong! The up-tempo tunes are not catchy enough to make you want to dance and his ballads lack emotion...the only positive element? FREDO has penned several decent tunes on his album, perhaps he should pursue song-writing for other up-coming pop bands......
