Posted: 3/9/08 at 9:33pmSo I have had both of these items for quite sometime and I just finished listening to them both. I absolutley loved them both. Fifteen had the perfect song choice IMO for Victoria and Here & Now was the a great follow up to Songs of Jason Robert Brown (I don't know if anything will ever live up to it for me). What have been your opinions of the 2 albums. Also does anyone know if Victoria tours at all?

Posted: 3/9/08 at 9:46pmI think Clark is incredibly talented, I really do, but I just find the album way too monotonous for my taste. I guess that's more of my personal issue with the album than its own shortcoming. IMO, she is one of the most versatile theater actresses working today and I wish I had been able to see more of that on the album. Oh, and who in the world told her that she could get away with not recording "Losing My Mind" or bringing in Garber for "Too Many Mornings"?

Posted: 3/9/08 at 9:56pmO I agree on not having Losing My Mind, but I found the song choice perfect for just relaxing and drinking a glass of wine before bed...

Posted: 3/9/08 at 9:58pmVictoria Clark does do performances outside of the tri-state area. I met her a couple weeks ago in Findlay, OH at a performance for her new album. Seeing her sing the songs and hearing the stories behind why she recorded those songs, make the CD even more memorable. I don't know if she technically "tours" or just does random appearances.

Posted: 3/9/08 at 11:55pmI want to like Vicki's cd more then I do. Don't get me wrong it is enjoyable and there are a number of standouts (my personal favroite is It Might Be You), but I don't find that I have the urge to listen to the album over and over.
