CD ReviewsUnbearable Melody Adam Todd | 02/11/2004 (1 out of 5 stars) "When this was released in Australia I was pretty disappointed to see that the two other tracks were songs that Will Young, the UK Idol winner, had already released. Getting the runner up to release the same songs seems really pointless and when you hear Gates' versions of "Evergreen" and "Anything is Possible" you'll wonder why Gates bothered. His vocals are weak, and the passion in his voice is lacking. These two tracks seems like an attempt of karaoke rather than a number one selling hit. Unchained Melody isn't much better. He managed to make a classic song as far from emotional as the orginal. This is definately a case of "don't touch the classics" and hopefully Gareth's original material will make up for this cover." Rubbish clarence22 | Melbourne, Australia | 02/11/2004 (1 out of 5 stars) "To me, Gareth Gates symbolises everything that is wrong with the world of manufactured pop. He may be a pretty face if that is what you are into, but there is no substance behind it. His vocals are weak and boring. He lacks passion and obviously has not had a deep emotional experience like the one described in the song as he doesn't have the capability to reproduce it. Definitely one for the under-15s. If it was slightly less bad it would be boring. As it is it is so bad it is kind of funny."
