Can't get enough of it!
When will the CD come out? August what?
I like Together Wherever We Go but some of the other tracks I don't care for. I really feel that the Lupone factor is something that must be experienced in person. And though I love her, I can't stand listening to the Some People on this CD. So in all fairness, I probably won't. It's not the vocals at all! It's really all about whenever Lupone speaks as compared to sings, I don't feel the emotion when she speaks on the CD as opposed to live.
Some People sounds too bipolar. Her singing is superb and energetic and her speaking SOUNDS overacted, like a mom who is reading over lines with you before an audition.
If Mama Was Married still gives me chills and I LOVE listening to their harmonies! AH!
Everything's Coming Up Roses is spectacular. You really get her emotion throughout the entire thing, I can't get enough!
Together Wherever We Go is very accurately portrayed, I love this one too.
Rose's Turn sounds great in probably, 85% of the song, in my opinion. Other parts I think it's hard to understand why she's acting the way she is when you haven't seen the show. For those of us who have it's not a big deal, because we've experience Lupone in action!
These, of course, are just my opinion and are not expected to hold true to every individual

For Ivan and the others here, the tracks on YouTube were the CD sampler mixes. The tracks for the finished CD were all remixed and reedited. They were pretty good for quick mixes, but the completed CD is really pretty glorious. I've heard details in the orchestrations that I've never heard before and the cast sounds great - honestly, I think LuPone sounds better on the disc than she does in the theatre. The bonus tracks of cut songs is the proverbial cherry on top of the sundae. I can't imagine the CD being anything less than indispensable for any fan of the show.
