Internally divided

I've bought the CD and am a little ambivalent in my judgment. First: Ronnie Milsap has one of the finest and most expressive voices I know, and many of the songs (especially "You look too close") are lyrically to die for wonderful ... but - and here's my review: Many texts drifting wonderful phrases in really terrible platitudes from, and Ronnie Milsap it creates in my eyes not to give each song its own imprint, somehow it sounds everything to order production and not by right tiefergehendem feeling. Absolute low: Dalida "He was just 18 year." I admit I'm biased because I appreciate very much Dalida for their interpretations and the great feeling she puts into the most banal melodies and of their own more than 2000 CDs, plates etc ... but precisely what This wonderful in and of itself constitutes song in Dalida, longing, love, disappointment, inner conflict, which is worn simultaneously by a great tenderness, lost completely in Ronnie Milsap and suffocate in melodramatic tragedy, there remains the intention of the actual song hardly anything left (the same was already on another CD in "My songs are my life" so that was in the original at Dalida a wonderful "Mourir sur scène", which then for the British market under the title "Born to Sing" newly recorded and in which the Milster was then eindeutschen the English text version), which is a pity - because it really with far less effort could have done better. So one longs in this song - and, unfortunately, in other - to the originals that go more under the skin, although they are actually interpreted with poorer votes. But all this is as I said just my opinion, others may see it differently, there is at the grandeur of the voice certainly no doubt.
