Post subject: 'I Believe in You' review
Here is a review of 'I Believe in You'
http://music.monstersandcritics.com/reviews/article_1077786.php/Single_Reviews
'I Believe in You' - IL DIVO (feat. CELINE DION)
Unto itself, 'I Believe in You' is a beautiful song, lush in its orchestral production and celestial in its blend of Dion`s towering vocals with the classical-lite musings of Il Divo.
But if you are a proponent of the former`s career at radio, this release prompts some questions: First, with her career at AC already tentative, is a duet with such a cheesy act really a wise strategy? And second, for an artist who remains youthful and vital on the inside, why is she again involved in a project whose appeal lies with an audience whose birthdays start with 4`s and 5`s? Il Divo has found success overseas, but in the States, the act amounts to a poor man`s Josh Groban.
It is time for another 'That`s the Way It Is,' not a song so erudite that even AC radio may turn up its nose. Pretty song, yes, but hardly in Dion`s long-term interest.

.......I wouldn`t disagree with the statement about "them being the poor man`s Josh Groban " - he is AMAZING
