Aretha disappoints...
This is a pretty awful album, except that it`s not really an album, rather a compilation, with some really cringe making moments especially the truly awful Nussun dorma(although here at least Aretha reaches some high notes, once her trade mark,not heard from her for many a year.)Worst is the `duet` with Fantasia, the title of which is gibberish unless it`s about training Aretha to shoot Pheasant or Quail. The song is one of those tuneless efforts that pass for r b these days with the lead vocalist of Fantasia unable to susatin one note for more than a few seconds-ever heard of legato? Best are the duets we`ve heard before with Elton John, Georges Benson and Michael,Annie Lennox,and Whitney. Sinatra should have hung up his vocal chords long before this effort. If you want to hear some great, unusual Aretha then go for Live at Fillmore West (expanded edition, great duetting with Ray Charles) or Aretha Franklin: Rare and Unreleased Recordings from the Golden Reign of the Queen of Soul br /
