Excellent CD My first from this artist. But it has now been playing constantly in my truck wherever I go for the past 3 weeks or so. There is not a dud on this CD. I am looking forward to getting the next one.
Better than Gareth's Effort This album is not really my thing, but it's better than Gareth Gates's effort. I used to like it, but I don't really listen to it much, but I did recently.
Songs worth 1 star: None
Songs worth 2 stars: "Lover Won't You Stay" "Love Struck" "Long And Winding Road" "Side By Side" "What's In Goodbye" "Fine Line"
Songs worth 3 stars: "You And I" "Over You"
Songs worth 4 stars: "Evergreen" "Anything Is Possible"
Songs worth 5 stars: "Light My Fire" "Cruel To Be Kind" "From Now On"
Worst Song: "What's In Goodbye" Best Song: "Light My Fire" Overall Verdict: 3.1 out of 5.0 stars
This album is okay, but if you'd like a better effort buy "Friday's Child".
From now on I'm Straight Will Young, the guy who fooled the voters into the fact that he had a girl all the way through the competition and then announced he was gay. The singing is alright. But I prefer a musican who is more thruthful than this guy.
Our Idol Will Young WOW!! An album to be proud of. From start to finish this album will blow you away. You and I, Evergreen, Anything Is Possible, Light My Fire and many many more. A Pleasure to own and listen to. If you dont own this take a chance and you wont be disapointed
Will Young is AWESOME I first heard Will Young on the World Idol television special. I immediately fell in LOVE with his voice. His sound is very soulful, with a hint of jazz and pop in the mix. I think his voice sounds similar to that of frontman Mick Hucknall of Simply Red. On this cd, you can definitely hear why he won the UK Pop Idol competition. I was a huge fan of the British music scene back in the 80's, and still love most of them that are still making music (Boy George, Simply Red, Annie Lennox, etc), but I have completely fell for Will. Not only does he have a voice like an angel...he has the look of one as well. What a perfect package.
