Music reviews of Siempre Vivire
Music Review: Is it time to retire?
Rating: 2 Stars
A very disappointing album from the Queen of Salsa. I'm a huge Celia fan but couldn't help but feel unsatisfied with my purchase. It all starts off terribly wrong with Celia's tribute to the late great Tito Puente with "Celia's Oye Como Va". Tito must be rolling in his grave. I've never heard anything so tacky in my life. It will ruin "Oye Como Va" for you, please don't listen to it! How she could completely destroy one of the greatest songs of all time is beyond me. My understanding of Spanish is limited (though improving!) but some of the lyrics she adds are absolutely ridiculous. She has done sooooooo much better than this and you're reminded of it when she suddenly breaks out into a tongue-twisting phrase of "Oye-como-va-Oye-como-va, Quimbara Quimbara Quimba Quimbara Quimbara Quimba Quimbara Quimbara Quimba-Quim-bam-ba". Why Celia??? It is totally out of place and just reminds me of a time when you were great. The rest of the album doesn't get much better. She screams too much and sings too little. She even manages to frighten me in some songs."Por Si Acaso No Regresso" is one of the few inspired tracks--a wonderfully sensual Cha Cha (??? I'm not an expert in these numbers, so please correct me if I'm wrong.). It is the only song that saves this album from getting 1 star. It is very sexy and nice to dance to. The title track "Yo Vivire", a cover of the famous classic "I will survive", is pretty good but Celia doesn't know when to keep her mouth shut. She is(was?) a wonderful singer but it would have been nice if she would just let the music take over for a while. She yap yap yaps through the whole thing. Frankly, I kept wishing for Gloria Gaynor to take over. If someone could just overlay a salsa beat to her original it would be great...cause it's a great song to dance to.
If anyone else feels the same way about this album please speak up and write a review. I can't be alone here.
