Nothing like it

There is absolutely NOTHING like this in the music field. She has found a niche and it is beautiful. Her voice is so pure and lovely. A lesser singer could never upstage Lou Reed on his own song, but she has with Perfect Day. While Lou's is incredible and full of feeling, Susan's is lithe, sweet and piercing. The entire album is so completely set apart. Just listen to a few and you will be won over.
Beautiful Voice

A Beautiful Voice

Ms Boyle has such a pure sweet sound. My only criticism is that her vocals are almost secondary to the background music. Her voice seems a step softer than the music. Her voice doesn't pop the way it should though out. another reviewer called the performances uninspired. I think that is a good way to put it. The music is good, the voice is good, but it lacks the emotion and feeling it should have.
The Gift

Weird! Susan Boyle has a beautiful voice. However, I wonder if she really understands what some of the non-holiday selections are really about. If you read the liner notes, she does admit that "Hallelujah" is an abstract choice. But she presents "Don't Dream it's Over" as a party song, yet sings it so slowly and sadly that I can't figure out what kind of party's she's going to. And "Perfect Day" is a song about a breakup. Bizarre choices. I'm all for abstract choices and irony, but I don't get this.

Susan Boyle has returned again with 'The Gift' which seems like it should be a christmas album, but it's not really. Again, ole' Susan starts out the album with another cover, which turns out to be Lou Reed's 'Perfect Day' which once again is ruined by Susan Boyle's slow, old touch to it. The second track is yet another cover, which is 'Hallelujah' which is much too over the top for what it is, she just glams it up so much with the background singers, & everything. In the end, 'The Gift' is another Susan Boyle album that really isn't that great.
Amazing

As much as I was loathe to listen to and like Susan Boyle, I really like her singing style. I especially like her rendition of "Don't Dream It's Over", originally by Crowded House. I origianlly listened to this song performed by Sixpence None the Richer and fell in love with it. I just love how Susan added a much more orchestral and choral feel to it, making it poweful. I feel that, after listen to Susan's performance and Sixpence's, Susan put's so much more depth, feeling, and meaning into the lyrics.
I also really liked her performance of "Hallelujah". "The First Noel" was just beautiful! Susan sang it so gently, and delicately, really placing the listener into the True meaning of the Holiday Season.
Brava, Susan, Brava!
Heaven sent!

What a wonderful rendition of this classic song..... Well done! Mostly a rehash of good or awesome standards and two of the songs could not be called Christmas songs but overall a good solid effort. Those reviewers who gave this a single star need to give better reasons other than the lack of songs only sung by susan Boyle.
Beautiful Music and a voice that can sing it.

Susan Boyle is certainly a phenomenal singer. Though she is relatively new to the industry, got there in a flash, and for sure is still a diamond in the rough, her voice is perfect for this genre of music. A shocking surprise on this album is the remake of Crowded House’s “Don’t Dream It’s Over”. I love the original but Susan’s version is nothing short of angelic. The rest of the song selection provides a subdued, sweet and mystical trip through some of the more common Christmas Songs. It is certainly a journey to enjoy. Bravo Susan!
Almost but No Enough Punch

This is good album to listen to but it seems to be missing the FIRE that the Susan Boyles of the World bring. The I Dream a Dream shows heart and Passion and, of course, sheer Volume. This is good, but seems to miss that Knock you Off Your Feet and Take Your Name attitude that we know she is capable of doing. My rating is Average (which really means that I expected so much more - probably a 4 to 5 stars for an Average performer) so Susan, get to work, prove to us (and Simon Cowell) that you can Bring It On again.
