9.2 (118 个评分) 王菲 类型: 流行
发布日期 1995年1月1日 出版发行: Cinepoly新艺宝
王菲的出现,令香港歌坛有了一点生气,执迷不悔、胡思乱想、十万个为什么虽然都是‘影印’别人,然始终有她独特的风格,讨好自己,更是出色之作,这次翻唱邓丽君老歌,亲自挑选非太熟的歌曲,重新编曲,重新演绎,完全是王菲式,刻意摆脱邓丽君的影子。 DB
但,邓丽君是她偶像,不知听过她的歌曲多少遍,深印于脑中,完全不带任何邓丽君风格并非易事,因此,部份地方听上去仍容易令人联想起邓丽君的声音,而且,王菲的声底与邓丽君实在有点相似。
翻唱老歌从来比推出新碟的路难走,因为别人先入为主,新歌则像一张白纸,无从比较。王菲此举实在相当冒险,不过,她只为一偿心愿,好不好卖,别人的评语好坏与否,绝对影响不到正在北京休假王菲的心情。
此碟仍由梁荣骏监制,十三首歌曲并非首首皆为人熟悉,可是王菲又能赋予老歌新生命,让老歌再活一次。菲靡靡之音是王菲起的名字,意思明显不过,说邓丽君的歌曲非庸俗不堪,为当年受此指摘的邓丽君作出大平反.

8.5 (49 个评分) Sarah Brightman 类型: 古典
发布日期 2000年8月29日 出版发行: Angel Records
专辑LA LULA(月光女神)无论是从演唱技巧上讲,还是从古典与流行的融合上讲,都无疑堪称莎拉·布莱曼的巔峰之作。此专辑使她第三次成为“古典跨界榜”冠军和流行排行榜的TOP20之一,是爱乐的朋友不可错过的上佳音乐。
其中有改编自Beethoven(贝多芬)的“迷失的孩子”,有70年代红极一时的二重唱“史卡保罗市集” ,有西班牙西班牙最受欢迎的合唱团Meoano1988年的畅销金曲“Hijo De La Luna(月亮之子)”,有全球网友推荐的最具“神秘色彩”的 单曲GLOOMY SUNDAY(忧郁的星期天),让人惊诧高音演绎的忧伤同样婉约和美丽,有被称为古典摇滚第一经典的THE WHITE SHADE OF PALE(灰色的剪影),最后一首是《月亮河》,那熟悉的旋律,让人沉醉在逝去的年代。或许世纪之交是宜于怀旧的,在莎拉.布莱曼歌声的引领下,听者与歌者跨越时空的阻隔,相约在音乐的国度。

Medusa is the second solo album by the Scottish singer Annie Lennox, released in March 1995. It consists solely of cover songs, all originally recorded by male artists. It entered the UK album chart at No. 1 and peaked in the US at number 11, spending 60 weeks on the Billboard 200 chart. It has since achieved double platinum status in both the U.K. and the U.S. and sold more than 6 million copies worldwide.
The album yielded four U.K. singles: "No More I Love You's" (which entered the UK singles chart at No. 2, Lennox's highest ever solo peak), "A Whiter Shade of Pale", "Waiting in Vain" and "Something So Right".
The album was nominated for Best Pop Vocal Album at the Grammy Awards of 1996, losing to Turbulent Indigo by Joni Mitchell, however, Lennox took home the Best Female Pop Vocal Performance award for her work on the first single "No More I Love You's." This album was re-released in late 1995 in a double jewel case containing the album Medusa and a nine-track bonus CD featuring the studio version of Paul Simon's "Something So Right" (with Simon guesting on vocals and guitar) and eight tracks recorded live from the concert in Central Park: "Money Can't Buy It", "Legend in My Living Room", her Eurythmics hits "Who's That Girl?", "You Have Placed a Chill in My Heart" and "Here Comes the Rain Again", along with "Why", "Little Bird" and "Walking on Broken Glass" .
