Product Description

From Amazon.co.uk

Making A Dream Come True must certainly have been just that for 12-year-old Becky Taylor, balancing singing with a symphony orchestra one day with being back at school the next. Having appeared in Les Misérables aged seven, she won the Thorndyke Theatre Talent Competition at eight and the British Arts Awards two years later. Inevitably dubbed the "new Charlotte Church", Taylor nevertheless avoids hymns and classical arrangements, offering an appropriately youthful selection from movies and musicals. Several of these, including the specially written "Song of Dreams", continue the theme of dreaming or have fantastical, magical connotations. With a Hollywood-style production and numbers from Peter Pan ("Just Beyond the Stars" and "I'm Flying") Mary Poppins, ("Stay Awake") and The Rescuers, ("Someone's Waiting for You") there is a Disney-sweet sensibility throughout. Taylor makes a fine job of "Over the Rainbow", being a much more appropriate age for Dorothy than Judy Garland was. Moreover, she is surprisingly comfortable with "I Could Have Danced All Night" from My Fair Lady, though anyone would struggle to make much of "Thank You, Stars" from Watership Down. Demonstrating a voice years ahead of its time, this cute and innocent album promises much for Becky Taylor's future as a major stage-musical star. --Gary S Dalkin

Becky Taylor-A Dream Come True

Becky Taylor is a phenomenal Broadway singer. This girl blew my socks off. She's got to
be the most talented 12 year-old Broadway singer out there. It's a pity she didn't hit
platinum and become a superstar.
This album should have gone double platinum in no time. This should have been on of the
most successful debut albums ever.
Unfortunately because of wrong way it was marketed, and all the other complications this CD
didn't do as well as it should and could have. Unfortunately the media's tying of her and
Charlotte Church only hurt her. The media made her out to be the "new Charlotte Church,"
and perhaps that would have been well excepted now, but....Charlotte was at the height of
her career, and people didn't want a "new Charlotte." If they wanted to market her as a
"new so and so" they should have marketed her as the new Julie Andrews, or at least they
should have compared her to Julie, who was in her field. However the preferred to place her
along with Charlotte, event though they were in totally different genres.
My advice would be to re-release it, and spend big bucks on promotion. I heard EMI spent
$100,000. I think the should have doubled that.
Event with all the technicalities and sadness, of what could have been, I strongly
encourage people to buy this CD. It is phenomenal. I listen to it every single day several
times. It's amazing. My favorite's are,

1. Just Beyond the Stars
2. Once upon a December
3. Over the Rainbow
7. Song of Dreams
8. I could have danced all night
9. Not while I'm around

Although Becky does an unbeatable job on all her songs. I wish her all the luck on her new
album, "Shine." ...

This review is from: A Dream Come True (Audio CD)

Becky Taylor has a beautiful voice. I can easily see the comparison, to Charlotte Church. I really liked "Over the Rainbow". I have heard many renditions of this song, and her's is the best so far. I myself have recorded a CD. And I'm twelve to. I know people, tend to complain on younger people's singing more. I'm very classical, so I get lots of people saying things about me. But Becky did a great job. I just feel sorry for her, that she didn't get sighned up with Sony Classical. All I have to say is, great job Beacky! It would be a "Dream come true" to sing with you!
