4.0 out of 5 stars A nice mix of pop and country, January 17, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: I Only Wanted You (Audio CD)

Marie never seemed like a "genuine" country artist, but instead she offered pleasing pop music with definite Nashville overtones. The title song of this album doesn't even sound remotely country, with its synthesized drum beats and punchy rhythms, yet it's still a great song with a wonderful, energetic vocal. Other strong songs on here include the unusual "Cry Just A Little," which almost has an R&B feel, and "You're Still to New to Me," a duet with Paul Davis that reached No. 1 on the charts. Other songs on here are kind of fluffy and less substantial, but still appealing.

I Only Wanted You is a pleasing and melodic album from Marie Osmond. Her singing is very attractive and smooth. This disc is in a country pop musical direction. A total of ten tracks is included--I find every one of them to be listenable and worthwhile. The musicianship is tight, the songwriting is fulfilling, and the production is taut and polished. Three of the ten songs are pretty ballads--"Cry Just a Little," "I Know the Feeling," and "More Than Dancing." Also, one of the tracks ("You're Still New to Me") features a duet between Osmond and Paul Davis. The opening song, the ballad "Cry Just a Little," is my favorite tune of the album--it's an engaging one that displays impressive vocals from Osmond and a charming chorus. "Everybody's Crazy 'Bout My Baby" is an upbeat cut with a cool dose of saxophone playing, too. I enjoy the choruses throughout this disc. The CD insert doesn't include the song lyrics. The album is just over 33 minutes in length, also. I Only Wanted You is good and tuneful.

5.0 out of 5 stars WOW Her Best Effort, October 24, 1999

This review is from: I Only Wanted You (Audio CD)

This CD blew me away. I have her others, while they were good, this is fantastic. It is definately not pure country. It is country pop. Most songs are upbeat. You could bob along for miles to these tunes. The best of the lot "Your Love Carries Me Away." If you even remotely like the songs that you can sample on this CD from this site you will LOVE the rest of the CD
