Great, but far from her best...

"I am a huge fan....So let that be your grain of salt
with this review. I have trouble listening to her sing
in German, so this French version of many international
songs is great. They are remastering her "CHANTE PIAF" album
which is scheduled for release in about a week or two (OCT 7, 03). Her voice has a bell like quality that is unlike any
other singer I have heard. She is (so sorry) much better than
Streisand in selling a song and, well, I like her voice much
better. Her "MES PLUS GANDS SUCCES" numbers ONE and TWO are
the "MUST HAVES" after that, you'll likely want more.E Wilson"
Excellent.

"MM possesses an incredible voice. She can sure carry a tune with fabulous projection. MM was blessed with a seemingly perfect life. She realized her dream of becoming a singer. She is now happily married with children. This is why she should not be named Piaf's successor as she sometimes is (in fact, Piaf named DALIDA as her successor--far more fitting because of Dalida's personal traumas, altho' Dalida's voice is far different from Piaf's, whereas MM's is a bit closer). MM sings as if it is her craft. Piaf sings because it is her life and she lives those songs every time she sings them. In other words, although her voice is technically superb, sometimes MM's songs come off less than heartfelt or emotional. This does not bother me, though it may bother some. This CD made me become a fan of MMThe quality of these songs is 5 stars, the quality of the disk is 4 because it is just another compilation and I hate Paul Anka's appearance on this CD. I find my favorite songs to be Sta Maria, Ma delivrance, Femme amoureuse, Je veux l'aimer, Tous les enfants."
The most beautiful songs

"I am a big fan of Mireille Mathieu music. In my opinion she is the most talented French singer with the most beautiful voice. The way she sings makes your heart smile, fill you with positive emotions and raise your spirit. It is so pity that in Ukraine, where I am from, it is impossible to find her CDs. I am not sure if it is a breach of policy, but I would like here to turn to people with a request of assistance. I will appreciate very much if someone could help me to get her music. As a token of my appreciation I will send you some CDs with Russian music."
