Don't like her version of I Know Him So Well much - Emma's voice sounds lovely as ever. I really didn't like her version of I Don't Know How To Love Him on Superstar. There's just something about the way she sings them - not how I like Musical songs sung.

Looking forward to this. Love Melanie. Not sure what the point of seperate artwork is though The CD version is much better than the digital cover.

This CD is fantastic. I have been listening all morning. Girls had vocal training, that is very obvious. Good tunes.
