Music reviews of Hit Man Returns: David Foster & Friends (CD/DVD)

Music Review: Hitman did it again.
Rating: 5 Stars

This is a 2-disc collection of some of today's and yesterday's best artists. The DVD gives you the whole concert which was held at Mandalay Bay Resort Casino in 2010, including a 12-minute behind the scenes video, while the CD is a shortened 11 song selection from the video.

David Foster was introduced to the crowd by 2 Olympian skaters, Kristi Yamaguchi and Brian Boitano, both of whom have skated and performed to David Foster's music back when they were actively competing.

Kenny Loggins started the program with a couple of songs, he sang "Heart to Heart" and "Forever". He was followed by Gary Wright, one of those artists that I have never seen before, but certainly heard before. "Dreamweaver" was beautiful.

Chaka Khan's first appearance was her signature "Through the Fire". It was nostalgic.

When "All-4-One" took the stage, I said wow! How they changed. Still, they sang 2 of their chart toppers "I Can Love You Like That" and "I Swear", which were very nicely done.

Natalie Cole hasn't changed at all. She moves and talks so elegant, except that her dress gave me a bit of vertigo. I don't know how she feels being compared to her father, but I can't help but notice the similarities. Her voice is calming and mellow, it gives you chills. A duet with American Idol champion Ruben Studdard.

Jackie Evancho - I love Charlotte Church, until she wrecked her life and eventually her voice too. I think Jackie is the new voice of an angel. Her cherubic innocence is disarming. She was followed by the "Canadian Tenors", who sang only one song.

Michael Bolton and Seal. Why I can't disassociate Bolton with the movie "Office Space", I can't really tell. It just stuck there in my head. Both have very soulful voices, they did an interesting medley of "When a Man Love's a Woman" and "It's a Man's Man's Man's World", segwayed to Chaka Khan's "I'm Every Woman".

David Foster described "Earth Wind & Fire" as his most favorite band ever. They started the second part of the show with a bang.

Lara Fabian did a very entrancing version of "Caruso". Enchanting.

One of the highlights of the night must be Charice's voice climbing the stratosphere. I was so nervous when she was about to get to the part of the song "All By Myself" that David described as insane. She nailed it, and the last note which ended with one of the longest standing ovations.

It was an eclectic combination of talents, from young R&B artists like Charice & Neyo, operatic performances by Evancho, Lara and the Canadian Tenors, disco and country singer Martina McBride, all shared the same stage in one stellar night.

The last number was performed by disco queen Donna Summer with the a song appropriately titled "Last Dance".

Great pure entertainment.

The first David Foster & Friends Hitman Show on PBS was one of the highest rated pledge shows of the last decade and was viewed by millions of fans.
'This turned out to be one incredible show. I was thrilled to be able to get some of my very favorites on this go round who weren't free last time out, including Earth, Wind & Fire and Chaka Khan. There were so many magic moments that night. I'm especially proud of the terrific combinations of talent including a medley with Chaka, Seal and Michael Bolton, a breathtaking duet with Natalie Cole and Ruben Studdard and a standout performance by Charice, Ne-Yo and Robert Randolph. And of course, accompanying the great Donna Summer on keyboards for 'Last Dance' brought me right back into the studio when we first recorded the song,' commented Foster about the show.
