Music reviews of Miss Bette Davis
Music Review: Not bad at all!
Rating: 4 Stars
This CD is a must have for anyone who proudly sticks on their bumper a "Why be normal?" sticker. No one with average tastes or interests would give this record the time of day and would no doubt ridicule it to death. That's their loss. For the iconoclastic and weirdos (meant as a compliment, mind you), out there, rejoice! Bette is no Bing Crosby in the vocal department, but who is? Accept her limitations behind the microphone and enjoy her undeniably good phrasing and the personality she brings to each song. The highlight is "Wrong," the haunting Max Steiner theme from Now, Voyager. This one song is worth the price of admission, I promise you. Bette brings a breathless, mesmerizing quality to the song, almost Dietrichesque in its pathos. In addition, the arrangements are excellent. Gord Jenkins or Nelson Riddle would be suitably proud of the string section.
Other reviewers claim the CD is so bad it's good, but I humbly disagree. If you're just looking for a campy, laugh-out-loud experience, look elsewhere. The comedic element here is minimal. Bette doesn't butcher the songs all that much. If you adore this legend, then you have excellent taste and this will allow you to embrace this oddity in all its many facets. And I will go to my grave that her interpretation of Wrong is beautiful in its own pathetic way.
