Nice Suprise and Real Bonus

Review Score: (10/10)
I'm a person who likes singer more than movie star. I like Vonda and I'm also a fun of Sting. Before I bought the CD, I had had suspected about the quality (I can not imagine someone shares the song" every breath you take" with Sting. Is it a joke or something? They are going to ruin one of my favorite songs) and I even thouthgt not to waste money on it. Because usually when movie stars get involved in music, what they really do is just for fun and what they sell is just their reputation in movie. However I have to admit this time it is a nice and amazing exception after I listened to it.

1) Surely Vonda is as wonderful as she is always. Personally I like "For once in my life" and "reason to believe" as well as " alone again (naturally)". She tells us again what a good musician she is through her voice. 2) My surprise is from the duet "chance are". Robert Downey Jr.'s voice is just so deep, which matches Vonda's voice and seems like it touches your heart directly. Although I tried to be picky, I have to say indeed that's a very nice duet. Then my real concern "every breath you take" is coming. I have all kinds of Sting's CD since 1980. But at the beginning of listening to the song in this CD, I could barely distinguish which voice is Sting's and which is Downey's. I have to admit again this guy does have something amazing. Now I know there is another flavor about this song, which is good! The final thing that converts me totally is the song written by him. What can I say about it? It is just thrilling! This Guy definitely gets talent in music and he is worth the words which Vonda put in her thanks" you are amazing!" Now it is I to say: "He is amazing and his songs in this CD are the real bonus for me."

Anyway, Thank God! I'm glad I did not let my prejudice lead me too much, otherwise I would just miss out on this wonderful CD. My suggestion: Buy it and listen to it, you will like it.
