Editorial Reviews
Multiple Grammy Award®-winning singer and legendary performer Bette Midler returns to the studio to release “It’s The Girls,” a stunning new album that pays tribute to girl groups through the ages. “It’s The Girls” is a jaunty and celebratory collection of some of the greatest harmonies performed by girl groups such as The Ronettes, The Boswell Sisters, The Andrew Sisters, The Chiffons as well as Motown acts like Martha Reeves and The Vandellas, and The Marvelettes, among others.

First I think is the utter simplicity of it. The production is slick, but there are no pretensions. It is an album of pop music covers from various girl groups, and that's it. Since the beginning of her career, Bette has done this type of "retro" music better than anyone else. Also, unlike some of the other artists I mentioned, Bette's voice still sounds as good as it ever did, to me. I have to disagree with some other reviewers on a couple of issues. One said that the vocals sound "phoned in", and a couple of others described them as "karaoke". No offense, but I don't find this at all. To me, the upbeat numbers are joyous and exuberant, and the serious ones have nuanced feeling. Highlights for me include the following:
"Be My Baby" - I always wanted a really vibrant version of that classic song, and now I have it.
"Baby It's You" - It is mellow, but subtly serious.
"He's Sure The Boy I Love" - Bette and Darlene Love have great fun on this duet, and Darlene still sounds fabulous too.
"Come And Get These Memories" - This slowed down version is very affecting.
"Too Many Fish In The Sea" - Very high energy with some funny spoken lines.
"Teach Me Tonight" - In the style of "Old Cape Cod" from "Songs For The New Depression".
"Waterfalls" - The crown jewel of the album. Despite the risk, Bette took a very popular song and turned it into a superb vocal performance.
"Give Him A Great Big Kiss" - Campy just like "Leader Of The Pack" from her first album. And we don't get to hear Shangri-Las covers often enough.
Even Bette's version of "Mr. Sandman", a song I never really liked, is tolerable. The only track I don't care for is "You Can't Hurry Love". For some reason I have never liked any version other than the original by Diana Ross & The Supremes, so I can't really blame Bette for that.
The album debuted at No. 3 on the Billboard 200, so I'd say Ms. Midler is off to a good start with this one. And from the beginning I had a feeling that it would be a winner. I feel this is an album that she was destined to make. I have only one regret: why, oh why, didn't she include "He's A Rebel"?
"Waterfalls" is a brilliant, unique cover. Midler's velvety vocals, along with the minimal instruments, truly highlight the emotional depth of the lyrics,that was perhaps overshadowed by the contagious course of the original. The Divine Miss M wisely decides to leave the refrain from Lisa Lopes untouched, and instead creates her own beautiful cut.
"Will You Still Love Me Tomorrow," penned by Carole King and sung by "The Shirelles," is another somber tune that packs a nice tender punch.
It's also nice to see Darlene Love, who Midler indicted into the Rock 'N Roll Hall of Fame, still show off her pipes in a duet with Bette in "He's Sure the Boy I Love."
Midler also always makes sure she goes back to her Hawaiian roots. And this time, she does it through the melody in "Mr. Sandman," giving the number a playful feel.
The opener, "Be My Baby," gives great insight to what the rest of the collection brings: a refreshing take on historically rich classics to prove Bette hasn't lost her touch.
I would've liked to have heard a song from an 80s girl group included here...maybe an interesting take on a Go-Go's song (like Our Lips Are Sealed), or Seasons Change by Expose. I think it would have been very interesting! But I like what's here, anyway.
I listened to the album from start to finish without skipping any songs. Some stood out more than others and will get more repeat listens while others not so much. Still, there weren't any songs I disliked enough to delete from my ipod just yet.
Recommended if you like Bette or the original versions of these songs and want to hear her take on them. It helps if you like both.

Effetti collaterali: snap snap con le dita; tap tap sul pavimento con il piede; stonare aggiungendosi al coro.
Effetti indesiderati: nessuno.
A parte gli scherzi. è bello sentire che la Divine Miss M ha mantenuto inalterata la sua verve. Ricordo ancora quando nel lontano 1972 mi regalarono il suo primo album dicendomi: "E' la nuova Streisand" (come se Barbra Streisand, in attività da appena una decina di anni, dovesse già essere rimpiazzata). Naturalmente, ascoltando il disco, mi resi conto che la personalità della Midler era lontana anni luce da quella dell'affermata collega, e da allora la seguo sia per ciò che riguarda la musica sia al cinema dove ci ha regalato tanti indimenticabili momenti di spensieratezza ("Per favore ammazzatemi mia moglie", "Affari d'oro") e qualche lacrima ("Spiagge", "The Rose"). A proposito di quest'ultimo, la sua interpretazione è stata così toccante che "The Rose" è il soprannome con cui ancora oggi viene chiamata negli States.
In "It's the Girls!", godibilissimo dalla prima all'ultima traccia, The Divine Miss M interpreta brani celeberrimi portati al successo da gruppi vocali femminili a partire dagli anni '30 del secolo scorso, uno più bello dell'altro.
Il doppio vinile è custodito in una solida copertina apribile (gatefold), è stampato bene ed è pure colorato di una bella tonalità di rosa (direi un Rubine Red) che, visto l'omaggio femminile, calza a pennello. Sarebbe stato bello trovarci anche i testi ma non si può avere tutto.
