[.ca] Disney Album

From Amazon.com:
This is a love letter to that special pop song genre cultivated in Disney films (and in some cases, musicals). Instead of the chestnuts from Disney's classic canon, Michael Crawford has chosen a program of contemporary Disney creations (except for the vintage "Baby Mine" from Dumbo), but these are destined to become evergreens in their own right. For starters, the magical combination of melody, atmosphere, and gentle lyrics showcases the Disney folks' uncanny ability to patch together sensational creative teams, drawing on such diverse artists as Alan Menken, Elton John, Randy Newman, and Phil Collins. And Crawford's mellow tenor, with its hint of Peter Pan innocence, is well suited to these expressions of joy and love, which include a memorable duet on "If I Never Knew You" (from Pocahontas) with Sherie René Scott. The production is lush and polished, but the length, a mere 40 minutes, is disappointingly skimpy. --Sarah Chin

Youll be in my heARt:
MIKE VS. PHIL COLLINS ON "you'll be in my heart"-- WAY BETTER AND CARRIES MORE MEANING THAT PHILL COLLINS COULD ATTEMPT.. HECK, IF NOT TO PUT DOWN PHIL COLLINS -HE IS GOOD, BUT MIKE IS A WHOLE NOTHER BALL GAME OF EXCELLENCE--!!!

WOW!!! Mike should have sang in all the Disney flicks!!:
Just finished watching Pocahontas and I knew Mike sang a song from Pocohauntus but didnt know which one-turned out it was the song in the end credits "If I Never Knew You".. wow the duet on the end credits of the flick as opposed to Mike singing it--they dont hold a candle to Mike--I mean that--the performers arent as good as Mike, its just not the same appeal as Mike... But the movie is great IMO!!!!!

A wonderful album!:
I have been a big fan of Michael Crawford's for many years and very highly recommend this album. Michael has such a beautiful voice, like an angel. He sings with so much love, warmth, and emotion. I'd give this album 100 stars if I could. If you buy this album you are in for a real treat!

A music connoisseur:
For anyone willing to hear typical disney music, this album could be something "musically" unfamiliar. There is no typical orchestrated booms and metronomic drums, but melody guidance. This could be more like the best musicals of broadway than an action series television program. The orchestration and musical arrangements of this recording are simply outstanding and the voices are as richly and powerful as they could be. If you appreciate fine music and you have this special feeling about disney's, you will TRULY enjoy this album. Michael crawford's voice has grown and matured wonderfully from his appearance on Hello Dolly some years ago...

5 stars does not do Michael C Justice!!:
"If I Never Knew You", hard to hold back my watery eyes!!! Way too much emotion in Mike's music makes me almost cry. A great way to listen for best quality: Stick a Mike Crawford CD in your computer CD drive- Buy some good headphones. It will feel as if Mike is right there with ya!!! So expressive, so genuine, so real, so Michael. Sings with such meaning- Unlike other vocalists- notice how they sort of "go through the motions"??? Mike seems to truly love his gift of music-and he only gets greater!!! OH YEAH- DOES ANYONE ELSE AGREE WITH ME THAT MIKE SHOULD RELEASE RELAXATION TAPES??? I have all of his CD's - need to be more from the man himself!!! I could praise this guy on and on!!!!!
