3.0 out of 5 stars Good start to a legendary career, July 10, 2002

This review is from: Soy Como Quiero Ser (Audio CD)

"Soy Como Quiero Ser" is a good starting point for Mr. Miguel.
The duets with Laura Branigan and Rocio Banquells in the songs "Sin Hablar" and "No Me Puedo Escapar De Ti" are just beautiful and juvenil. The songs "Ahora te puedes marchar" and "Perdoname" are great interpretations and adaptations from songs that were orginally in English. Other songs that stand out are "Soy como quiero ser" and "Cuando calienta el sol". The former is a song written by Luis Miguel's father the late Luisito Rey a Spanish singer. This is a powerful song that expresses both father and son's personal feelings of looking at the world and their self-suffiency and Independence. The later is a song that made Luis Miguel the "Sol de Mexico" and a sex symbol in his native Mexico and in the Latin world. This song is a very upbeat positive and juvenil song that just makes you feel good and have a good time at the beach and play volleyball with friends. I know that it seems that I am exaggerting but trust me the song is that good. This isn't his best album but if one is going to have a collection of this artist then this album is a great starting point! Have fun with this album!

This review is from: Soy Como Quiero Ser (Audio CD)

"Soy Como Quiero Ser" is an enjoyable collection from Latin pop king Luis Miguel. All of the songs are in Spanish, and many of them are Spanish versions of pop songs that were popular in English. Listeners may recognize such tunes as "Perdoname" (in English, its chorus was "All by Myself") and "Sunny," among others. There is a good mix of faster and slower tempo songs.

Luis brings great enthusiasm, as well as a strong and versatile voice, to his performances. I was particularly impressed by his rendition of the title song. There are two duets, including one with Laura Branigan ("Sin Hablar"). Overall, not his best album, but still good collection of songs.
