4.0 out of 5 stars Caroline is at it again!!!!, June 18, 2001

Being a huge fan of her first cd "what I did for love" I thought that this would be better, in some ways it is, and in some ways its not. Caroline really reaches out in her selections on this CD, in ways that is good and in ways its bad.

1. Perhaps, Perhaps, Perhaps: this is a cute song not very memorable though

2. What Kind of Fool: again cute not very memorable

3. If you Love Me: done very nicley

4. Look What Happened to Mabel: I LOVE this for some reason, i find myself listening again & again.

5.People: not as good as Babs, but good none the less

6.Buenous Aires: One of the beter songs on the recording, I can so see her playing Evita after listening to this.

7.Kissing you: I adore this song and Caroline dose it well, who would have ever thought to do it, though. leave it to Caroline

8.Aquarius: ???? Why? Why? Why?!

9.Diamonds are a Girls Best Friend: cute and VERY memorable, what a gem (no pun intened)

10.Mein Herr: 1 word: SUPERB!!!

11. I Can Cook Too: one of the best songs on the recording

12.The Impossible Dream: okay

13: Big Spender: Intresting with only one person, i like it

14. Dancing queen:???? Why? Why? Why?, yet i always listen to it more then once

15. My Man. Best song on the CD, just as good or even better that Babs!

5.0 out of 5 stars An interesting complement to the 1st CD, March 16, 2003

I acquired the Mack and Mabel CD with Caroline in the cast 2 years ago. I was immediately smitten by the singer belting "Time Heals Everything". ... Two months ago, a friend suggested I listen to "What I did For Love". I instantly liked the 1st CD. And decided to acquire her second CD. Well, the collection is interesting. Similar with the 1st Cd, it is also diverse. However, what is unique with the CD is that it offers less drama and more FUN. ... Aquarius is very interesting. Perhaps and perhaps and What Kind of Fool have instant "grab". However for me, the most cherished songs are "If You Love Me"; "I Can Cook Too", "Big Spender", and "Kissing You. I do hope she would include in her upcoming recordings more Sondheim songs, and "As if We Never Said Goodbye".

Caroline's first solo CD 'What I Did for Love' has been one of my favourites for quite a while, so I was eager to get my hands on a copy of her second solo recording. Featuring songs taken from her one woman show 'From Stage To Screen', this CD is a compilation of songs from various films and musicals. I must admit when I first heard this CD I was a little disappointed. It didn't have the initial 'grab' of her fist solo CD. But slowly this CD has really grown on me. With an interesting choice of numbers (including a version of Abba's 'Dancing Queen'), Caroline's wide vocal range once again shines as she pours raw emotion into her voice. It's amazing to hear how easily Caroline slips from the musical jollity of 'I Can Cook Too' and 'Look What Happened To Mabel' to more comtempary hits such as 'Dancing Queen' and 'What Kind Of Fool'. This is a must have CD for all Caroline fans, and if you love wonderful voices that stir the senses and tingle the spine, be sure to give this a listen. I'm sure you'll be pleasantly surprised.
