Customer Reviews

Beautiful...
When I ordered this item, I didn't think I would like it because it focuses on Kristin's Christian faith (which I don't have much to do with), but after listening to the CD 7 times since I received it (just yesterday!), I can officially say I love it!

I first became a fan of Kristin when she played Glinda in Wicked back in 2003 and her beautiful voice has had me hooked ever since. Although her Broadway fans may not love this CD, I found myself loving it because her fantastic voice shines through on every track! You can tell by the songs she has chosen to cover that she has a strong faith in God and I respect her for that.

The best songs include 'Joyful, Joyful' and 'Power', but I have to say that my favourite remains 'Taylor, the latte boy' because of Kristin's original comic genius!

This is a brilliant CD and every Kristin fan should own it!

Great CD
I first heard of Kristin Chenoweth when she won the Tony for her roll as Sally in "You're a Good Man, Charlie Brown." I quickly became a fan, so when I found out about this CD, I had to get it.

Taking a different path from her Broadway first CD, this CD focuses on songs of faith, reflecting Kristin's Christian beliefs. While some of her Broadway fans might not like that, I loved it.

The CD includes some classics, like "Because He Lives," "Joyful, Joyful," "Power" and "Just As I Am." Yes, these songs and hymns are familiar, but they're wonderfully handled here.

I was especially pleased to see covers of some of my favorite lesser known songs. "There Will Never be Another" is originally from Amy Grant's second CD. "Upon This Rock" first appeared on a Sandi Patty live CD. Both are wonderfully covered here. Of a more recent and popular note, she also covers Mercy Me's "Word of God Speak."

There were several songs I wasn't familiar with here. "It will be Me" is a great song on friendship. "Poor, Wayfaring Stranger" is an old spiritual, and I really liked it. "Abide in Me" appears to be a completely new song, and it's a great reminder of where our power really comes from, God.

The final track on here is "Taylor, the Latte Boy," another original song. It's a fun song about love at a coffee shop that fits Kristin's personality perfectly.

Some of her fans won't like the emphasis on her faith; I love it. This CD has already gotten lots of airplay since I got it, and I can see it getting lots more for a long time to come.
