Product Description
2011 release, the third album from the British vocalist. Someone To Watch Over Me sees Susan and world acclaimed producer Steve Mac reunited to present a sensational and contemporary album that will span the generations. Featuring breathtaking renditions of 'Unchained Melody' and 'Both Sides Now', Susan fearlessly takes on iconic songs 'Enjoy The Silence' and 'Mad World' giving them a new identity. Original material includes 'This Will Be The Year' by Emeli Sande and Naughty Boy with Josh Kear and 'Return' by Steve Mac and Wayne Hector. The album heralds a new era of music for Susan Boyle. New material and classics combined with a variation of tempos from the ethereal to the dramatic, the music is stripped back and showcases the voice the world fell in love with.

This is a wonderful collection of the best of Susan Boyle. Her voice varies from strong and clear to smoky and soft. Every song exudes emotion. The album is a work of art by an amazing artist. It only improves with every play. -a treasure!

This is a major dissapointment...... Her first CD showed the true range of her voice and I can listen to it over and over..... not the case for this one..... I tried liking it but still can't.

I've followed Susan Boyle's rise to fame from the early stages of Britain's Got Talent. Her first CD was wonderful. Each song seemed to be a part of her life and she sang with such emotion. However, in "Someone to Watch Over Me", I was a little disappointed. Her voice is still beautiful. It was the arrangements I didn't like. The orchestra was to big and too loud. (I find this to be a common occurance too often today. The soloist if over-powered.) It overpowered her lower register in several cases and the choice of songs kept her in that register so we didn't get the beauty of her top range and power. I wasn't crazy about the choice of repertoire. When a singer is really good at one style of song, she should stay in that style as much as possible. Susan is fantastic in straight jazz..."Cry Me a River"...and she excelled at Broadway songs..."Les Miz". I'm enjoying the CD, but it cannot be compared to her first one "I Dreamed a Dream".

Not bad
This was a good CD but could have been better. Too many songs sounded alike and on the slow side, it needed more songs like track 1 to show the true range of Miss Boyle's wonderful... Read more

Great voice
Very good interpretation of those songs. Pushing her voice to the high notes gives chills, but there is not enough of that. We just want more after listening to her CD.

"The Gift" was a hard act to follow...
My wife and I were both disappointed on first playing this CD. After the stunning performances on "The Gift", we expected more. Read more

Better than before
This is a better album than the last. Vocally the simpering is a bit too much at times, and the original material is uninspiring.
