Yuridia graduated in 2005 from La Academia, a Spanish-language singing competition akin to American Idol, but she still can't escape the show's karaoke trappings. Her first disc, La Voz de un Angel, was a collection of classic covers she performed during the show. Follow-up Habla el Corazon finds the singer crooning Spanish versions of English-language pop hits. Yuridia's ardent fanbase has made her a star, and she's even eclipsed Academia winner Erasmo. (Yuridia took second place.) But her rich, emotive voice deserves better than this recycled pop fluff. To date, Yuridia's only original works are collaborations with Yahir and Victor Manuelle. She does what she can on Habla el Corazon, which finds her interpreting light-rock hits from Roxette, Bonnie Tyler, Bryan Adams and Bon Jovi. Her version of "The Rose" (in English) is lovely, but like most of the tracks, it suffers from a wimpy, inconsequential arrangement. And whoever thought to include Billy Joel's "Piano Man" deserves a stern talking-to, indeed. Only fresher material and a savvy producer (Rudy Perez, Sebastian Krys) will allow this admittedly talented angel to truly take flight. --Joey Guerra

2.0 out of 5 stars I wish she would sing original songs...., December 17, 2006

By	L. Rodriguez "Unbiased & Honest" (Inglewood, CA USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Yuridia has a beautiful voice. That is undisputed. But this CD doesn't fully showcase the strength of it. I wasn't too fond of her first CD... I bought this one hoping she'd matured since but it has yet to happen. Most of the songs on this album are lackluster. Three captivated me... including (and surprisingly) a cover of Sarah Maclachlan's Angel (in Spanish) which she nailed with such perfection, but mostly, the album is dull. It's not all her fault... it's also the arrangements on the songs. Boring for the most part. I hope her next CD embarks on original music from her. She sings "The Rose" in English... (which Bette Midler made famous) but it didn't seem that Yuridia put much effort into it, surprising given the fact she does speak English rather well. Great range and potential... just poorly guided is best I can summarize. Hopefully she can get out of this funk by her next album.

1.0 out of 5 stars No es Original/ Not Original, January 26, 2007

A Kid's Review

Yo anticipe el segundo disco de yuridia desde hace meses y por fin descubri que lanzo otro, pero mis esperanzas fueron rotas este CD es de lo peor no tiene el mismo nivel de calidad que el primero y ademas cada cancion es un cover, O sea yuridia es LA REINA DE LOS COVERS o que honda, no para nada me gusto el disco y no creo que este disco fue el que decian que ella estuvo grabando en espana, o sea es de lo peor, Parecen las canciones de sobra que no llegaron al primer disco, muchos de la academia ya las interpretaron, y no es original y el retrato del disco parace la yuridia del 2005, Yuridia ya tiene un nuevo look, no no no este disco fue lanzado no mas porque los envidiosos de Azteca saben que cualquiera cosa con la imagen de yuridia va vender. Perdon pero este disco es de lo peor es M*****

2.0 out of 5 stars Lo peor en mucho tiempo..., January 29, 2007

By	Hector Castillo "Futurista Vidente" (Mesa, AZ United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Los fans de Yuridia podran decir que este album es un joya o el mejor, pero hay que hablar claro. Este album es uno de los peores disco del a~o pasado en la musica latina. No hay duda alguna que Yuridia tiene una gran voz. Eso no es punto de discussion. Pero hay que ser honestos, este album parece que lo hicieron en uno o dos dias. Son los covers mas horibles que he escuchado. No puedo creer como masacro la cancion de The Police. No hay nada rescatable. Solo hizo este disco por hacerlo. No tiene alma. No tiene feeling. No tiene corazon. Esta nulo.
