[.ca] Sky With Stars

This is H-O-R-R-I-B-L-E - HORRIBLE!:
The comparisson to Heather Nova was ridiculous. The only thing these women have in common (and we all know it isn't talent) is that they're both capable of bearing children. You can find better-sounding music on any amateur night in any bar in any city in any country on any continent. Maybe that's a bit much. The thing is - this woman doesn't sound bad, necessarily; it's that she doesn't necessarily sound good either and I find my level of apathy toward her to be a good indication of how GENERIC she sounds. Create a soundtrack to your life - don't just fill it with this tepid mall music. In the end - don't waste your money or your time.

Powerful vocals make for an awesome CD:
I read about Michal in an issue of "Teen" magazine last spring. I immediately downloaded "Juliet's Refrain" to see what it sounded like -- and was amazed. It's one of the best songs I've ever heard. Right away I ordered "Sky With Stars" from Amazon.com. Unfortunately, they were out of stock for weeks and weeks, and finally I gave up after a few months of waiting. I called all the music stores in town, and they can't get "Sky with Stars" in either. I even resorted to downloading, but Michal's music isn't available online either. Hopefully something will happen that will get this amazing artist out there -- I want to hear more of her work.

Near perfect:
I came across Michal in a most unexpected place. While heading off to work, I passed the TV where my mom was watching "One Life to Live". Michal was performing on the show for some Valentine's special. I fell in love instantly and tracked down this CD. Absolutely fantastic! Although some of the songs are a little too poppy for my taste, even the pop tracks are really good. Better than most of the pop garbage on the airwaves today. I think my absolute favorite would be "Free Dirt" which is just as grungy and dark as the title would make you believe and yet you can tell there is emotion behind it. Most of her songs are like that. Think Alanis Morrisette without the high annoyance factor and more musical and singing ability. I'd recommend this heavily to fans of Srah McLachlan & Heather Nova.

Beauty on the inside and out:
Michal puts a definate sophisticated spin on teenage angst. Scratch that,on personal angst. She hits the nail right on the head,catartic should be this woman's middle name. Not a whiff of "oh baby baby" or bubblegum. Michal incorpoorates piano with guitar,unlike mainstream artists,it's classy but raw. 10 stars definatly go to Michal

:Sophisticated Spin On TeeN Angst::
Michal has DEFINATLY proved herself worthy to be crowned as a new voice in singer/songwriter genre.But her's aren't all bubblegum and pathetic,Michal has extrodinary writing skills.The lyrics are extremly brilliantly crafted together along with her smooth and polished piano playing.But with some heavy and moody guitar settings,this can EASILY be known as a definate power album.Her vocals are quite astounding,they fit perfectly with the lyrics,Michal definatly gets thumbs up for just letting the world know that yeah there is teen angst(i.e.-heart wrenching love,rejection,but also some catchy rock/pop tunes like "My Friend)and she definatly doesn't sugar coat it like bubblegum songer writers Michelle B. or Vanessa C. Michal puts a sophistacted whirl on the angst we all have inside
