Bernadette on fire!5
This is probably my favorite recording of Bernadette (too bad it didn't include "Chico's Girl"). Bernadette's voice has a tough, raw quality to it on some of the songs like "Only Wounded" and "Other Lady" where you can literally hear her voice crack and cry with emotion. That's why I love this...because it is so emotional! The hit single "Gee Whiz" is a great throwback to the 50s and Bernadette was able to score points on Radio (and even an appearance on American Bandstand). This is great stuff that shows why Bernadette Peters is a Broadway Idol!

I Don't Know Why I Just Do5
There are parts of this recording that will get to you. Like the medley "I Don"t Know Why/Mean to Me". You really feel for the gal depicted in the song, and that takes real singing and real acting. In fact, you may even want to join a group that fights for the dignity of women. This album is not as polished as her next album, but then, she had a decade to polish herself up for that one. But it is a great album, highly reccomended.

Bernadette "soars"5
I am a fan of Bernadette Peters and have been since I first heard her sing in the delightful show "Dames at Sea" - so many years ago. My admiration for her singing and her interpretation of wonderful songs have done nothing but expand. This particular recording is mostly made up of music recorded in 1980 and 1981. Beginning with Steven Sondheim's "Broadway Baby" from Follies and ending with Harry Warren's "You'll Never Know" this is packed with great songs and magnificent singing. While I like every single one of the songs, the poignant "Other Lady" by Lesley Gore and Ellen Watson seals the fate of this CD to be at the top of my most listened to stack that I keep handy at all times. Wonderfully subtle renditions of "Mean to Me" and "If You Were The Only Boy" help to make this CD one of the best collection of Ms. Peters' singing that is available. Trust me - if you like good songs, terrific singing, and Bernadette Peters - RUSH to get this CD.
