Customer Reviews of At Last
CD- Cyndi Lauper -At Last I knew I loved this CD, as a friend has it. It's every bit as good as I remembered! A more mature style for Cyndi. My favourite version to date of "Unchained Melody".
Amateur hour, starring Cyndi Lauper
The 4 and 5 star ratings show that Lauper has a large fan base that is largely tone deaf or simply doesn't care how their idol sings. The 1 and 2 star ratings indicate that there are some people that have heard the definitive versions of these classics and won't be folled by bad imitations. Nothing typifies the out-of-key, poor delivery of these classics more than Cyndi's failed attempt to sing "If You Go Away", a song so lovely that I didn't think it was possible to ruin. Just listen to this great Jacques Brel ballad, known as Ne Me Quitte Pas in the original French, sung by anyone else and you'll have to agree that Lauper doesn't even come close to expressing the poignancy of the song. I recommend that you listen to Nina Simone, Patricia Kaas, Neil Diamond, The Seekers, Dusty Springfield, Julio Iglesias and others that can stay in-key and deliver it masterfully.

>She also had no business attempting Unchained Melody, Walk On By and Don't Let Me Be Understood. Her producer deserves as much admonishment for steering Lauper's song selection in the wrong direction.

>Lauper should stick to the fast paced pop that allows her to wail with abandon on simple, small-range melodies. For this reason, her delivery of "Stay" is acceptable.

Cyndi a Light Jazz stylist? Yes.
She sounds good with heavy or light production and the soft, classical piano intro. on the title tune told me I'm gonna pretty much like this album. I can say now I love *parts* of this album and that's saying something. Other similiar efforts by Harry Conick, Rod Stewart, Etta James, and Elvis Costello...well, they're not as good.
<
>Her vocal on the opener mentioned above will penetrate to your spine, then enlighten your mind, and enliven your soul. She goit to me on True Colors and she's done it again. Her final note is a bit strained and I daresay off-key, but the *feeling* is undeniable.
<
>Walk On By is equally memorable - i've got to place it alongside Dionne Warwicks' and Isaac Hayes' recordings.
<
>"Hymn To Love" has more melodious tones emanating from the heart. The quiet support does the trick.
<
>Until You Come Back To Me..., actually the first track I accessed, is a nice "lounge" sound, but lounges are good - sip that club soda with lime....and dream along to this little chunk-a wunda.
<
>Let's see, "Makin' Whoopie" with Tony B., don't dig it - they shoulda dueted on When Will The Bells Ring For Me?
<
>The closer, On The Sunny side Of The Steet, ahs some cool contrast, but, 12 songs sell the CD. To me. To anyone.
