"forced vocals...?" "overly breathy singing...?" "overdone...?"

Methinks, Mr. Unthank, that you are jealous. Either that, or you're clearly not listening to the same cd that the rest of us are so greatly blessed by.

Oh, and...you get "passed" on the highway. The word you want is "past." You're welcome.

Weird...I didn't see where Mr. Unthank noted anywhere on the review that he wasn't blessed by the CD. Interesting how Ms. Burrus automatically assumes that he was NOT blessed (or really even jealous for that matter) because he felt the vocals were "forced, overly breathy, or overdone".

There is such a thing as a difference of opinion. And that, Ms. Burrus would've been so much friendlier of you to say rather than your assumptions of jealousy or lack of blessings.

I wonder why people take so much offense to these reviews when they are nothing really but an opinion of one person. It's a little comical to me really. Someone having a differing opinion almost always pulls us back to the 2nd grade. Sad...

David's vocals on that song are indeed a bit overly breathy, I agree. Some of the songs are a tad over produced or at least come across that way.

This is an excellent review that reflects the sentiments of many listeners......especially those who sing.

Overall, this is an outstanding project. My personal favorite since Southern Classics. This is the sound and style of GVB music that many of us were used to in the days of Michael English era of the group. It's good to see a return to the mix between some adult contemporary styles to Southern Gospel.

You know Amy talk bout her brought back to 2nd grade...what about you? I'm not one to sit here and bash cuz were all God's children so i try to get along but you just used that much comment space to comment on the CD review and all you did was bash on Janet and didn't say one thing bout the CD or the review. Sad...and as for the review it does seem like hes directing all the errors of the CD towards David Phelps. You may not like his stykle but come on he makes Clean sound fresh and something new. And All in All is beautifully sung orchestrated and written. Don't take someone like David Phelps for granted. He's an awesome singer and were lucky to have him not only sing in our genre but to COME BACK to it. Appreciate.

I figured the review of this album would take some hits. As I posted on the blog when the album was released. People are jumping all over it for one reason or another. Some say it's not SG enough. Well as I have said before GVB isn't pure SG. The harmonies on this album is by far the best they've EVER been.

As far as the review against David. I would said many don't care for him. For some reason, people take his vocals as over produced and breathy or overdone.
Let me go on record and say that David Phelps is without a doubt the finest voaclist in gospel music period.

And sorry Jimmy, I dont agree with your comment about the review is what many think including those that sing. I sing and I don't totally agree with this review. I understand it's all a matter of opinion and prefrence but I would tend to think a lot of people don't get it because they either haven't been trained vocally or they sing SG and can't think outside that little box.

To do what he does vocally is not easy...and I'm not talking about just singing high. He has the total package.

As a vocal performance in college I can tell you he is the real deal! His talent is remarkable and many in the SG field have never welcomed him with open arms for various reasons.

Wow, I am an SG artist, and "All in All" was easily my favorite track on the cd. I just loved it. And I really don't like much contemporary music. Ironically, another one of the best songs on the cd was "He's Alive."

Funny how your 2 least favorites can be someone else's 2 favorites.
