Members YRBB Posted September 30, 2011 Members Share Posted September 30, 2011 Susan Boyle's new album, Someone to Watch Over Me, is set to be released on November 01. The first single of the album is a cover of Depeche Mode's Enjoy the Silence. And, while it sounds like a terrible idea, it really is not: Beautiful, haunting and touching.

Members EricMontreal22 Posted October 1, 2011 Members Share Posted October 1, 2011 I wanna like this... I honestly do, but can't. I actually am impressed--her first album she used her voice so colourlessly-- Here she actually seems to be feeling the lyrics for once (she certainly never did when singing I Dreamed a Dream), but the arrangement, which starts great, never even goes into minor keys! I'm biased, it's one of my fave songs--I miss the dramatic key changes within each measure. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mDsR1JJCeG0 The lead single, from the brilliant ABBA (well, Benny/Bjorn) musical Kristina is sung well by her, but again needs more depth the lyrics. Compare: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iNqNFHwaXhw to (even though she sucks at English) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=34vWDb5Fvb4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members JellicleCat Posted October 1, 2011 Members Share Posted October 1, 2011 I disagree, it was a bad idea!! But then again, I think giving her a recording contract was a bad idea. I think she is ridiculously overrated. Her voice is really nothing special, and it is completely devoid of any emotions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members quartermainefan Posted October 2, 2011 Members Share Posted October 2, 2011 Yeah, I think she has a talent to hit all the right notes but there is just something missing from her singing. She is human muzak. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
