Product Description
From Amazon.com
The people who felt betrayed when Linda Eder covered several pop songs on 2002's Gold will be relieved that her follow-up, Broadway My Way, is a return to the Great White Way. As if to prove that she isn't limited to either the songs of Frank Wildhorn or ballads, Eder tackles some well-known show tunes. The ballads tend to be overwrought, so it's best to look for the uptempo numbers. The singer's take on "Some People" is technically fine but so va-va-voom showbiz that it lacks the deranged edge that makes the song so compellingly dramatic. Things work a lot better on "I Am What I Am": while Eder doesn't take it to the top (or rather over the top), this is as close as she gets to Mermanizing a number. Elsewhere, "Don't Rain on My Parade" (immortalized by Streisand) and "Man of La Mancha" are appropriately brassy and triumphant, with Eder roaring her way through both songs. Fans of both Eder and Wildhorn should note that the singer reprises her Svengali's "Gold," the title track from her previous album, and an excerpt from his long-in-the-works Camille Claudel. --Elisabeth Vincentelli

Amazing singer, amazing voice!,
By "gretlcello" (middle of Kansas) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Broadway My Way (Audio CD)
I know that this almost sounds like a Josh Groban review, but my first introduction to Linda Eder was when I saw her live on a PBS special. She was incredible! Then a few months later a friend gave me a CD with a couple songs of her singing on there! WOW!!!!! I don't know if Ms. Eder will be the next Streisand, but she's got talent and plenty of it!Linda, please do a duet with Josh sometime!!!!

I love Linda Eder, but on this CD she is hidden behind the orchestra. I tried it on several machines. I even used an equalizer to help bring out her voice. What a waste of money. And, hey! what a waste of Linda!!!

Linda Eder is a True Broadway Singer,
By A Customer
This review is from: Broadway My Way (Audio CD)
This is my second Linda Eder album, and it ranks the best. What drew me to this album in particular is the fact that I love broadway. I knew Linda has/had an extraordinary talent(my first album was "Storybook") and she sings with the voice of an angel. I have never heard anyone sing broadway like Linda can. She sings each song with intense passion, emotion, and feeling. "I Am What I Am" is enough reason to buy this album. My favorite songs are "I Am What I Am", "Anthem", "Some People", "Don't Rain On My Parade", and "Man Of La Mancha." Take it from me, buy this album. Broadway lovers, you won't be dissipointed. After listening to her mesmerizing voice, you'll be left wondering, "Why is it that this woman has the most beautiful voice in the world, and she wasn't in most of these musicals?" Don't believe me? Then you will miss out on one of this era's most beautiful and talented singer's. Still don't believe me? Then check out the reviews. And if you still don't believe me, then I am forced to believe that you have no taste in good music.
