Kristin Chenoweth has a beautiful, unique voice. This is a great CD - awesome for anyone wants to take a break from hustle and bustle, and take some time to reflect and be grateful!
REally love "Taylor the Latte Boy" - very cute and fun song! Here's to Kristin finding her "latte boy". ;) |

| Kristin Chenoweth has a wonderful range to her voice & well worth hearing it time & time again. She has become one of my favorite singers & her CD's are certainly worth hearing & keeping. |

"Purchased by Accident"

Somehow this album got into my shopping cart by accident. Although I love Kristin Chenoweth, I am anything But religious. The album is beautifully done and her voice is in top shape. I have now listened to the album several times and have enjoyed it. Maybe I will be "born again?"..
Ha ha, I doubt that. |

I enjoyed the mellowness of the songs Kristin chose. I really liked how she sang some really hymn-like songs, such as "Because He Lives". I also enjoyed the humor of the showtune-ish song, "Taylor, The Latte Boy." It makes my day. As I Am is a very down to earth album. And her voice is AMAZING. I think she really did a great job.
All in all, I'd recommend it if you're feeling very mellow and reflective. |

A year ago, I didn't know who Kristin Chenoweth was. Seriously. I had heard of Wicked and, until this year, I hadn't any interest in seeing the musical. However, once I did, twice in fact - once with my daughter and another time with a friend, I began investigating the various actresses who played the part of Galinda.
The song 'Popular' is my favorite from that musical and Youtube and Metacafe have quite a list of, sadly, illegally gained vids of the various Wicked productions, so I had a lot to choose from! I'm not condoning the practice of videotaping musicals and other venues illegally, but I it's the nature of the beast, with camera-enabled cell phones, miniaturized vid cams, and the ease with uploading online, etc.
Anyway, once I discovered Kristin, I was hooked on her voice. This is not to say that the other actresses playing Galinda weren't good, they were, especially Megan Hilty, but Kristin had that 'sparkle' in her voice that appealed to me on so many levels.
So, imagine my surprise when I discovered she was also on Pushing Daisies, one of my favorite shows from last season! It was then when I remembered her character had sang at one point. That's when I began investigating KC and discovered she was - A - a Christian and - B - had made a gospel CD.
Well, I just had to buy it and I'm so glad I did. She recorded many of my favorite songs, plus a few new ones, and one that really isn't a gosple message, but it tags her list of songs rather nicely. Her Taylor, the Latte Boy was hilairous, loved it, and I even managed to catch a YouTube recording of it when she performed for a television program. So funny, her expressions and all!
But her other songs, My Tribute, Upon This Rock, There Will Never Be Another, and especially Abide in Me, ministered in ways no one else could do. Her clear, resonating voice, precise and tone-perfect with exact diction brooked no contest with quality; it was all there. Many recording artists stylize their vocals, to be different, but in that way they muddy the words to where the listener has a hard time understanding what the song is about. Kristin doesn't do this, she is a style in and of herself, and she ennunciates beautifully, making it all too easy to hear the message and understand the intent of each song. She's one of the few who can do this, in my opinion.
Yes, for those who love music with a spiritual message and a deep longing to worhsip the Savior of souls, this is an excellent CD to add to your collection. Despite the fact that a few of Kristin's personal views might not swim well with many of those of faith, she comes through her music as a very sweet individual who cares deeply for people and most especially her God and Savior. I'm very happy with my purchase. In fact, my kids are glad I bought the CD, because they were getting tired of hearing Sarah Brightman all the time! :0) And, yes, I'm still a fan of SB, but now I'm pairing her with KC. :0)
I hope the Kristin records more songs like these and maybe even a collection of the various musicals that she's performed in. |
