Actually my Mom got Dylan's newest CD and I listened for a bit. Not bad at all. I like it.

But Madi's voice makes me shiver every time I listen.

BTW, there is a great review/interview of Madi in the Sept 12th New York Times.

I agree, the album is a treat. But I can't see why even arguing over Dylan, Waits or anybody. They're all uniqure, great artists and she did a great job covering Cohen and Dylan and the forum's all about tolerance & discussion, anyway. If anybody doesn't dig Dylan, that's alright with me. I won't get preachy with "you don't know what you're missing" stuff, but try and listen one more time, the same goes for Waits. Or Cohen or any artist, if you wish. As far as I go, I joined the forum 'cause I love good music; a very special hello from Slovenia and how's y'all doing?

Them that's got shell get ...

It is hard to imagine how caustic some can be. Anyone who has ever had the pleasure of seeing this performer live knows what an extraordinary talent she is. Truly unique, she reaches right into your soul. It's no secret about some of the nonsense she's been through, and perhaps this gives her presentation a certain edge, but that's OK with me. Another amazing effort - I cannot wait to see her perform live here in New York again.

PourMadi, toujour!

I don't want you to respect my opinion nor think it's worthwhile.
I don't care about Barry Manilow or Bob Dylan.
I don't much care about Tom Waits although I like his work.
Please enjoy him and visit his forum often.

To whom would I rather listen?
Why Madi, of course.
(A preposition is a poor thing to end a sentence with.
<giggle>)

I'll ignore your future posts.
Enjoy the forum.
Thanks for visiting.

I hadn't read it in a long time, actually.
Tom Waits is "OK". Am I supposed to think your opinion on Peyroux is
worthwhile after that assesment of Tom Waits?
He doesn't have Madi's voice. And??? Dylan doesn't have Barry Manilow's
voice. Who would you rather listen to?

And blah to you too.
Unoriginal :-) Like really?
Tom Waits is OK and original.
He's not got Madi's voice.
You didn't like her live show and you seem unable to get over that.
Why not stop reading her forum :-)

The "best jazz vocalist of our time"? Sorry, folks. She's unoriginal and
overated. And, please, couldn't she just sing the line "shave your face"
rather than change it to "feed" your face. You don't need to change the
lyrics to great songs to accomodate your gender. We'll get it. Don't mess
with Tom Waits. He, by the way, is an original.

Hello Daniel,

Thank you for the review. I look forward to buying this CD when it comes out. I have only heard two songs from this cd so far. One, The copy of "California Rain" that was posted on this website and Two,"I'm Alright" which I heard played on a new music preview show. I liked both of them but "I'm Alright" blew me away. I heard some of the longest phrases I have ever heard Ms. Madeleine sing. It was like listening to a more mature singer. I knew it was Ms. Madeleine yet she had more depth. To me if this is a sample of the whole CD then WOW I think it is indeed reveltory.

As for some of the selections, it is difficult to access the situation from down here in the cheap seats. Certainly with the success of "Careless Love" you would think that Ms. Madeleine might have more creative control, but it is only her 3rd CD and there was such a long break between the 1st and the 2nd. Also Ms. Madeleine is definetly a rising star and it seems to me that alot of singers would want to do duets with her and if they are people who are in the Business longer she might be in a position to do music that fits them better that her. I am grateful for your insight and wait with anticipation for the CD's release. As for me, I consider Ms. Madeleine the best jazz vocalist of our time and the more she records the happier I am.

Thanx - Ron Kobe.
