I took a chance on this new artist based on her winning the UK Pop Idol show. I was very pleasantly surprised to find that she is really a great new artist with a lot of potential. She has a really good voice, kind of like Kelly Clarkson. The songs are very good, especially two stand-out ballads "Once in a Lifetime" and "How Can Sorry Ever Mend a Broken Heart." I'm looking forward to hearing more from her in the future!

Michelle McManus is the reason why we need competitions like Pop Idol in the world. A girl like her would probably never be signed by a major recording label because of her appearance (personally, I think she's actually quite pretty). But she has one of the most pure, unaffected voices in the music industry today and with the help of her label released what, to me, was unquestionably the best Pop album of 2004, one of the best overall albums of 2004, and one of the greatest Pop albums of the past 5 years. Here's hoping that Michelle can overcome the stigma of Pop Idol competitions and go on to have a long and successful recording career.

This album absolutely blew my mind. I am a huge American Idol fan, and so I decided to get a taste of the Idol winners from other countries. I've listened to basically all of them, and I must say that Michelle McManus is brilliant! She's an amazing and fantastic singer and I hope that there is a World Idol 2, because she could easily win the whole thing!

As a huge fan of American Idol, I was fascinated to see that the winner of Pop Idol won by such a huge margin. I ordered Michelle's CD the day it was released so that I could see if she really deserved to win by so much. I am very impressed with the CD. I would rate it far above any CD released by an American Idol contestant--although Kimberley Locke's CD hasn't come out yet. This CD showcases her voice, but doesn't seem to be tailored to it. With Kelly Clarkson, I felt that some songs were chosen to be pop hits and others were chosen to fit her voice, but the songs chosen to suit her voice were not good songs. Michelle's songs are GOOD songs that showcase her voice. I would buy everything else that she releases, and I fully expect that she will win the next World Idol (should there be a second one).

This album is my favourite album ever i have the upmost respect for this woman. She went in to pop idol as an events manager and came out a star. The album "meaning of love" absoulutly compliments her voice. My favourite songs on this are Meaning of love, Feeling good, and How can sorry ever mend a broken heart. I will never get bord of this singer and niether will you. Give her a chance.

Believe in yourself and you can do anything :-)

I love Michells music. It is simple and catchy and she has a fantastic voice. She doesnt care what people think of her weight which shows that she is a true artist who is in it for the music and not just to be a pop idol.
The best track is her number one smash "ll this time". SHe really rocks on this power ballad and shows how brilliant her voice is.
The isiots who don;'t like her and try to make themselfs look funny by saying she is fat and cant sing are just idiots who think they are cleverer than most people. Come on music lovers, show a united front and leave some good reveiws for this excellent CD.

The singing is okay but the songs are miserable. It's suprising this girl won Pop Idol because she looks like a pig.

Some of these reviews are a little mean, but a Pop Idol is not just a voice, but a look as well. I hope Michelle gets the most out of this. 5/5 for the voice. 1/5 for the look.

As n english peep i wanna throw up over every1 who disses michelle mcmanus, sure she overweight its obvios but her voice is AMAZING d albums shokingly brilliant n shes realy nice n pretty n 4 ur infomation shes on a diet n alredi looks GREAT!! so shut up n sort your selfs out, shell be back in fighting force!!!!!!!!!!

SO this is the winner of PLOP idol from the U.K then. Well they don't come prettier than this from Scotland I guess, that's for sure. As far as the music is concerned, AVOID! It's nothing but a calchony of crap. Perhaps Michelle should stick at something she is good at - eating chips and mars bars.
