Music reviews of Reprise

Music Review: Better than the second time around
Rating: 3 Stars

Russell Watson and his hyper publicity machine have returned to bless or curse us once again with both pop and operatic selections, over orchestrated and over-hyped as always.

I bought this CD knowing full well what to expect because I have the first 2 and had absolutely no reason to buy this other than to see how Watson would fare against a spinto aria like Canio's lament in "Vesti La Giubba".
I didn't expect it to go that well and I wasn't disappointed.
Seems this guy's voice is starting to sound stranger with each release....not bad mind you, just well...not good in an operatic context either.

Anyhow, I liked this CD much better than his sophmore CD "Encore".
The song selection is well balanced between arias, neapolitan favs and the usual fare of Euro-pop.
I even like some of his Euro-pop stuff like "In the living years".

The main reason I couldn't bring myself to give this a 4 star rating, though tempted, was because of the odd sounding vocalizations on the operatic arias. His voice seems like it's tired or pushed...I can't place it but it has me wondering why this kid doesn't take some time off, buy himself a top-notch coach / teacher, fix his vocal problems and come back better than ever.While he's at it he should really go live in Italy for a year and get a grasp of the language. One would think that over the span of 3 CD's his Italian would be near perfect by now but that's not the case....thus 3 stars.

Being a tenor myself I respect his talent, but I also believe that singing operatic selections is a touchy deal and can hurt an artist as much or more if not done right, as it can help.
I'm glad that Russell's label continues to promote his career as well as it does but I hope that the self-proclaimed "people's tenor" will give the people a finished product, vocally, in his next release.

All in all this could be called "The Voice" part 3 because the formula hasn't changed and it seems to be quite profitable to both Decca and Watson so I don't expect things to change too much in the years to come. Love him or hate him...he'll be back.
