5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent album of female singers!, December 4, 2004

I think that this was a great idea to put the hottest female singers, from the popular to the underrated, on one album! And they succeeded. There is a power ballad rock driven dominance on most of the album, but a few uptempo numbers, like Cher's fun dance number Believe to change it up a bit. I like the ones with Cher, Alicia Keys, Kelly Clarkson, Christina Aguilera, Bonnie Raitt, Natalie Merchant, Heather Headley and others. The album does focus more on women's themes in terms of the lyrics, but the feelings are more universal. Truly entertaining musically.

5.0 out of 5 stars A good mix of just the right voices, November 19, 2004

This cd is music to your ears, wonderful selection of female artists - well chosen, I recognized 17 out of 19 names and knew most of the songs and the ones chosen really capture the mood of the cd.

Most of the songs, as a whole, are slow, sometimes sad (Un-Break My Heart, I Can't Make You Love Me, Cry, Beautiful, Adia, etc.) but there are other songs that are played at just the right moment like Cher's "Believe" and Nelly's "I'm Like a Bird" which are more upbeat and uplifting.

The vocal stylings of all these very different women is so poignant and passionate, you can't help but have a deep appreciate for the music.

This is one cd I can play all the way through without skipping songs.

If I had to pick a personal favorite, I'd have to say Bonnie Raitt's "I Can't Make You Love Me" which features popular pianist Bruce Hornsby (they didn't credit him on cd - I guess to stay with the female theme, but it's definitely him on piano. I can hear his piano playing a mile away.)

This is one of those cds that's fun to sing along with when you're all by yourself and no one's watching. I can't tell you how many times I put a hairbrush to my mouth while pretending to be Leann Rimes singing "How Do I Live"

*smiles* it really is a good cd

5.0 out of 5 stars Beautiful, June 24, 2004

This cd is awesome! I can't believe the person before me said they didn't like Christina Aguilera! She's the best one on the cd. Christina is so talented. She shines on this cd. My three favorite (female) singers are all on this album (Christina, Nelly, & Jewel). You will love this mix of different genres and artists. The only song I would remove from the disc is Believe by Cher. Other than that, this cd is amazing!
