5.0 out of 5 stars BUY THIS TOO!, May 7, 2001

This review is from: Stay Pt. 2 (Audio CD)

Hey, Stay CD2 contains a live B-Side of Stephen in the Boyzone era, singing a nice song, Games Of Love (originally from the 'A Different Beat' album) and an interesting feature: Earlier this year he asked us, fans, to send him questions via his website and Brit group Hear'Say interviewed him with 20 of those questions... how is that related to this CD? The enhanced section of Stay CD2 is the interview! Loads of fun! Oh, and it is a really limited edition, in many places over UK it's already gone, so grab yours!

5.0 out of 5 stars Saving the best until last!, March 6, 2004

This review is from: Stay (Audio CD)

This was Gately's final single before parting with his record label and it is his best to date. Current, fresh and catchy, "Stay" was an album track that was revamped for a single release. Often we see reworked songs flop but this one is a definite improvement to the original!

You can't help but dance along to "Stay" and Gately's vocals suit the up-tempo pop tune! It's easy to identify how Boyzone was so successful with the presence of Gately and his noticeable talent.

Track two; "I can dream" is the complete opposite of "Stay". It's a slow, sweet ballad but it suits Gately's voice one hundred percent. Originally expected to be recorded with Emma Bunton, Gately ended up singing the whole song solo, and I think the final product deletes any doubts Gately may have had about do so. He convincingly paints a picture of how hard it can be for lovers to be separated by distance and this is done so by the emotion driven vocals.

The "Almighty remix" of "Stay" is very commendable, although it takes a little too long to reach the vocals (over two minutes!) which tested my patience a bit! The song works suprisingly well as a remix although at times the beat is a little too fast for the vocals and it sounds a bit too sped up. Well worth a listen though

If you appreciate great pop or a sweet ballad then I would definately recommend purchasing this single! The bonus video clip of "Stay" is also a reason to buy the single as it's a great clip, very fun, with a dance routine that makes you wish you were as co-ordinated as Gately!

This review is from: Stay (Audio CD)

This single is well worth the money. Im glad I bought it. The song "Stay" and the remix are fabulous. "I Can Dream" is beautiful. The video is a nice extra. I never knew who Stephen was. I found out about him while browsing Amazon. He is one of my new fave male artists. Unfortunately, I just recieved word he is finished with the music industry. He will not record a second album. If anyone who reads this review is thinking about buying his album and singles, please, dont hesitate. Buy them while you still can. You wont regret it.
