Customer Reviews:

1 out of 5 stars Avoid all her albums!.......2006-06-18

The popularity of Amy Gilliom is an ongoing mystery to me. Apparently, she was classically trained and started off as a Country singer. She should have stayed that way.

She does have a strong voice with a fairly pretty tone. However, she hasn't a clue how to use her voice. She sings all over the place with little attention to expression and coherence.

Ms. Gilliom needs to learn that singing is not about flash and technique; it is about communicating from one heart to another--at least in this type of music:.

If all of the above seems harsh, I would suggest this: Compare Amy with

Willie K who sings on some of her albums. Note the difference in expressiveness between the two.

Raiatea Helm (a younger singer) who is a far superior singer to Amy.

Genoa Keawe (the legend) who is also way better than Amy.

Nalani Olds (an older singer) who sadly does not get a fraction of the recognition that she deserves.

When you compare you will hear the difference and, I think, agree that Amy just doesn't have it. At least not yet.
