Wow, what a fab debut album!! It's just a shame that 'somebody' decided that the single GMYAS wasn't going to be released (tho' some got thro' the net!!)as a hard copy. Lee's voice is superb! The ballads are smooth, velvety and 'chocolatey'. His vocal range is extremely impressive. I feel that 'Paint it Black' could have had a more 'raw' edge to it (as in ADWD show) but it is still fantastic! I admit I'm biased as have been a fan since seeing his first audition on ADWD and said then that he would win the part. I think some people may be surprised that he hasn't released an album of songs from the musicals but I think that doing this album showcases his amazing vocal ability for all music. A must have CD and one I play endlessly!!
I loved Lee Mead in the Joseph tv programme and have seen him twice so far in the West End production so was very much looking forward to getting his albumn. It is very good but why oh why did they release that silly David Essex cover. It does not allow him to deliver a belter of a song that he has the voice for. If he must do covers then why not Tom Jones or even an Elvis song, his voice is deep and strong enough?? I thought his record producing team would have advised him better! Release Paint it Black - that has got to be the best song on the albumn and he just looks so sexy singing it too (obviously not on the albumn!!!). Enjoyed it very much overall but can't help thinking he is better to watch than just listen to!!!! Great for the car and kids loved it too. Overall I would give it a go if you liked him on the show, I think his charisma is going to pull him through and hope to follow his career, as once you get to like them on the show you do feel part of their success so I wish him well with everything.Read full review
This takes the prize for the most disappointing CD I've bought in 2007. He may be a charismatic and reasonably talented performer (the whole family really enjoyed the live show) but this CD is a very poor collection. It seems as though he rushed together a load of songs just to get the CD out (and make some money). Go and see the show but don't bother with this CD unless you need something to help you sleep!
A great first album from Lee Mead. He is definately a star in the making. Watch this space. His raw talent is there for all to hear on his debut album.Lets hope theres more to come.
I bought this new cd rather sceptically as he might have been a brilliant Joseph, but not sure about the rest....However, apart from Gunna make you a star, I LOVE this cd. His voice is very special and recognisable, and I prefer to listen to him rather than watch. Paint it Black is still my favorite track and really makes me speed up on the treadmill in the gym. If you liked the Joseph programme - you'll love this.
