Good vocalist ... terrible artist

Review Score: (6/10)
Vonda Sheppard is a decent singer, and I thought she was an exceptional artist when I heard her in the episodes of Ally McBeal. Now I know better. I seem to have been distracted during the shows. Also, the show producers only play the good snippets of Vonda's songs.

The bad parts of Vonda's songs tend to be her flourishes, where she attempt to be Mariah Carey. Vonda ... I know Mariah Carey ... You're no Mariah Carey.

In between flinching at Vonda's flourishes and fast forwarding through what I can only suspect are her "original" work, there are a few good songs which I find myself humming during the day. Those few songs are why I would not return the CD or throw it out. Maybe I shouldn't be so harsh. How many CDs have ALL good songs ? However, what makes me bad-mouth this CD are the really terrible songs and flourishes which make my skin crawl.
