"She's been at it for years. Sometimes she hits, but lately she's been missing, but not do to content. On the contrary, she's probably been making some of her best and brightest lately. Donna Summer's new single "The Power Of One" is a big grand orchestrated ballad for a silly little film "Pokemon 2", but in many ways its so much more. I think that it's going to be her biggest hit in years. The combination of Donna's rich voice with fine toned instrumentation is a real winner. The biggest winner however is the packaging. It's a single for a kiddy film and is a brilliant ballad. A nearly certain smash. The only reason Donna hasn't had a blockbuster in recent times is stale promotion. Through the nineties, Donna has stunned fans with strong ballad singles like "Whenever There Is Love", "Any Way At All" and the danceable but light pop of "I Will Go With You". It's been record companies with little or no support lately but this time, well, I know it's for real and that Donna will have major success. It's not one of her best ballads but is just an awesome work of light sounds and a beautiful voice that works. The b-side score of the song is very nice too. This single is a must have for all Donna fans who appreciate her voice as much or even more than her brilliantly creativity. She is not a writer or producer here but just the lung power. It's the power of Donna's voice that does the trick of the song "The Power Of One"."

The Power Of One!!!

"This is by far my favorite Donna Summer's song! The vocals and music match together like jelly and peanut butter (Sorry, I couldn't think of anything else!)! This is the single for the hit sountrack "Pokemon The Movie: 2000" and I'm sure that this song will be welcomed by anyone who hears this great song!!!1. The Power Of One - Donna Summer (5/5) Donna Summer's really delivers a great theme for the Pokemon movie. The vocals, music, message, everything about this song is top-rate. Let's hope this song is played in the Pokemon movie so many people will get the chance to hear it.2. The Legend Comes To Life - From "The Power Of One" Score(5/5) This is a great score! Very calm, very smoth, very good! I can't wait to pick up the Pokemon movie score.So even though these songs are from Pokemon, because the songs are so sweat and moving, I don't think you'll notice what the songs are from after awhile!!!"

Incomparable diva does it again.

"Donna's voice has taken on that vintage and timeless quality that cannot be discerned from most other female singers with time's passage. And come to think of it, hers is not a singular voice---it is an amalgam of voices, distinct, ever-changing but never conflicting. This song is a perfect ballad for her. The lyrics and music are heartwarming yet powerful. The reviewer from Hawthorne, NJ hit the mark! No one can describe it better than s/he did.I haven't heard the song played on the air, however. Am I in the wrong city or tuned in to the wrong stations? Pop/Top 40 radio stations, deejays, hello!???"
