They wisely included "Dreamin" as a track here. This track is the track that proved Vanessa Williams was the real deal. The vocals here are passionate without being over the top. That's another thing great about Ms. Williams. Not only is she beautiful, but she's a competent singer. Granted she's no Aretha Franklin, but she never pretends to be. If a track requires attitude ("The Right Stuff") she gives it and she always handles a ballad tenderly and with aplomb. Vanessa posses a certain and unique tone of voice that really gives the vocals on these tracks a special quality. There is no substitute for her uniqueness. Not everyone can make a track their own and Vanessa handles both up-tempo and slow songs beautifully.
After Vanessa had her biggest hit with 1992's "Save the Best For Last" she more or less left r&b behind to become an adult contemporary singer. I don't think it was the best decision, but on the other hand she handles gems like "Colors of the Wind" and "Betcha Never" excellently. The vocals are never too overbearing. Never too loud. Always pleasant and always believable. No matter what she sings Vanessa fills it with conviction. Not every track here is a classic, but everything is performed well. Recommended. 4/5 stars.

Eine schöne Zusammenstellung von ihren Songs.
Ich kann mir die CD immer wieder anhören :) So eine schöne Stimme :)
Einfach schön zum Träumen :) Auch zu zweit für romantische Stunden ;)
Ich kann die CD jedenfalls empfehlen :)
