I LOVE this CD!

"Seeing the video of Shayne singing Over The Rainbow gave me goosebumps, and still does every time I watch it. And now, I can hear the song whenever I want on this amazing CD. What a voice this guy has. All of the contemporary songs are beautifully rendered, and the live Over the Rainbow cut is just a very fine bonus. I will no doubt be giving this CD to a lot of people this Christmas."

"This is a way above average debut album for a youngster like Shayne. I do not skip a single track when I play this cd - and I play it often. I own 1,500+ CDs including Operas, Piano Concertos, Trance, Country, and a lot of Foreign Language music. Shayne Ward has a great future ahead of him - if he can stay in good management's hands. My favorite tracks are #3 "Stand By Me" & #11 "Better Man". If you like the music and singing of Irish Band "Westlife", you will be ecstatic about this cd - buy it!!!"
Shayne Ward - Beautiful Voice

"Shayne Ward - the winner of the X-Factor in Britain, has a wonderful voice and is gorgeous. Although he did win the U.K. version of basically American Idol - do not let this deter you from buying the album. The song "Stand By Me" is a powerful love song - and is followed by some more pop inspired songs. American audiences will definately find the low points of the album the cover of Brian McKnight's "Back at One" and the cover of K-Ci and JoJo's "All my Life" - however he does a great job in covering those hits.
There are deficiencies in this album, however, for it's high points, it is well worth the purchase. Even if just for "Stand by Me" - which is not the original 60's version - it is worth it! Buy the album!"
Great music!

"Although he was on a reality tv show that made him famous, Shayne proves that his voice can give him staying power in the music industry. This cd is definately a must buy!"
