It seems like everyone puts down Michael Bolton.I was watching a movie yesterday,and they were making jokes about this,"No Talented,Grammy award winning artist."I don't get it!!Just listen to his newest CD,"Only A Woman Like You," ONCE,and you will CHANGE YOUR MIND.The first single,"Only a Woman like you," co-written by Shania Twain,is my all time favorite song by Michael.I love the Orchestration,and the fantastic key changes.The first track,"Dance With Me," would be the next single I WOULD RELEASE.This great Spanish,Marc Anthony style number could be tearing up the dance floors this summer if it gets some air play.Track number 2,"I Wanna Hear you say it," is my second favorite cut.It just moves like a wave in the ocean."All that you Deserve"is a heart breaker,just like "How Am I suppose to live with out you,"(Written by Michael) teared you up inside.This is a GREAT CD,and its already going down the charts in Billboard(129,after peaking at 36)All I can say is EVEN A MICHAEL BOLTON BASHER COULD LOVE THIS CD.

I listen to Michael every day. Seriously! I come home after 10 hours of workday, and want to just wind down! He does that for me. I have several CD's and have downloaded countless artist's music, but I always place Michael's in my player.

He is truly one of the best....I especially love his Vintage CD.

Michael Bolton is the only singer I know who can make me get goose bumps all over from listening to his voice. The title track Only a women is a perfect ballot. I heard it on the Lifetime network and decided to buy it right away. Its great. especially if you do alot of driving!. Michael is back with that super voice, alot of emotions and handsome as ever!

Not only does Michael sing great love songs he also adds different types of genres. Some have a pop feel and some are a latin sound. It's a shame the album didn't do much in the states. The big problem, I think, was his new record label Jive. Jive focuses on young artists ,therefore, leaving Michael at the bottom of the list for promotion. I am so surprised Clive Davis didn't grab him on his new label J. Records.

I always found it strange that when you say in the U.S you like Michael Bolton people react like you're retareded.
I'm from The Netherlands and although he's not as famous here as in the rest of the world,his music is very much respected,not only by music buyers but also by Ducth recording artists,for example RENE FROGER wich is one of Hollands best selling singers recorded two Bolton tracks on his 1990 album "Midnight Man" the songs were "I almost believed you" and specialy written by Bolton for Froger "Am i dreaming" . But i now understand why some people in the states react this way about Bolton,its the same here in Holland with Rene Froger,they are very main stream and sold a lot of records and sell out major concerts,we'll i don't mind because i'm as mainstream as every other normal Dutch,American,German or where ever guy,i'm a security guard,i watch Stallone movies,i drive a Nissan,and i like prime time sitcoms and i also like to play Michael Bolton cd's on my Sony cd player in my average appartment.
And all i want to say to those who find that's boring is:

"SO I'M MAINSTREAM! SO WHAT!!!!

Ps:Great cd Michael!

Not a Michael Bolton fan, but a real fan of this album. I heard "Dance With Me" on a station and was like "that's a great Latin tune" The tune stuck with me and I found out later it was Bolton from this CD. I was shocked to know it was a Bolton song. I'm happy to say that Dance With Me isn't the only great tune on this CD - "I Want to Hear You Say It" is also very strong. A lot of people used to ridicule Bolton's music as too pop, but this CD is really mature and easy to listen to and like, even for a non-fan.

"Only A Woman Like You" is a truly beautiful album. Every song on here is very smooth, and the whole thing flows through very nicely. Minus the ear-splitting vocals Bolton is famous for, Michael shows that he has learned how to be smooth, and instead of his voice being strained, it's REstrained. Great, great album.

I didn't think that Michael Bolton would come back again, but this is a good album from him. He sounds better too. The writing is stronger on the songs, the ballads are better, and he was smart to stay away from remakes. The title song is one of his best. I like the opening Dance With Me and its Latin rhythms. And I liked the songs he did with Max Martin. For some of you you're saying Max Martin does a song with MICHAEL BOLTON?! There goes the world! But Michael pulls it off and Max avoids the teen pop sound for a mature effort with him. A very superb pop album for Mr. Bolton!

My son is seven years old. He has every CD and song list in order that they play memorized. His favorite is this tape that I need to play in the car everywhere we go. I do not mind it a bit. He has all of the words memorized to each and every song. I have no idea if it has anything to do with the fact that I listened to everything I could buy of Michael Bolten's while I was pregnant with him, and after he was born his favorites were the ones I listened to the most. This CD has songs on it I never heard him sing before, but my son and I just loved this CD from the first time that we heard it. Mrs symmington

Just got this album and have been thoroughly enjoying it. Brings much feelings of love to the heart. Sweet. Soulful.

Many great songs.
