LeAnn Rimes Album: “Blue [US Single]”

A 13 year old sensation, singing beautiful songs with her powerful and lovely voice. This is my favorite LeAnn CD. All the songs are wonderful. My favorites are "Hurt Me", One Way Ticket (Because I Can), "Honestly", "The Light in your eyes" and her duet with country legend Eddie Arnold in a great all fashion country song "Cattle Call". She sounds remarkably like Patsy Cline but with her own wonderful style. A truly sensational talented singer. I would highly recommend this CD.

Leann Rimes has an extradornary voice. She sings with such style and grace and does a good job of singing Patsy Cline's "Blue." That's the song that made me purchase this CD. With such a strong voice it's almost impossible not to be enchanted by her voice.

With songs like Blue, Hurt Me, One Way Ticket (Because I Can), and The Light in Your Eyes you're automatically hooked~

My Baby is also a great song. Sure she's young and there have been controversal issues on if she was too young to sing a song this mature, I think she does an excellent job. Young or not!

Honestly is a beautiful ballad thats filled with emotions and sang with such honesty and innocence.

The other songs Talk To Me (Leann took part in the writing of this song), I'll Get Even With You, Good Lookin' Man, and Fade to Blue are all excellent too. Cattle Call (Duet with Eddy Arnold) was also a pleasure to listen to on this CD.

This CD is enchanting! A great start for Leann and this CD shows how Leann started her very successful music career!

Wow, this album blew me away. I am in awe of LeAnn's vocal talent. This girl has IT. This album is an unbelieveable work perfectly well-crafted to suit her voice.

What she can do with her voice is amazing, as she proves in the title song "Blue." "Hurt Me" is a painful ballad, and LeAnn delivers all the emotion of that song with her voice; the drawl she sings with expresses the lyrics precisely. "My Baby" is a mature song far beyond her 13 years but she handles that song like an experienced adult. I'm also impressed by her ability to sing softly and be convincing at it, which she is in "Honestly," "I'll Get Even with You," and "Fade to Blue."

No wonder LeAnn became a superstar with this album. This album is incredible. The songs are perfect for her voice and LeAnn's extraordinary talent gives her the uncanny ability to bring justice to each song.

At age 13, when this album was recorded, LeAnn showed the world her remarkable vocal talent. With a voice that's very mature for her age, she tackles subject matter that's way beyond her years, but as she certainly does not sound 13, every song is believable. And she even tried her hand at songwriting. She co-wrote "Talk to me" on this album. These days though she is becoming more and more cross-over, but back in 1996, she was pure country. As pure as they come! This is a great album....highly recommended.

LeAnn Rimes has some voice. It is unbelievable. She uses her voice in ways that no one else can do. I doubt any other singer can sing in ways that LeAnn can. Her voice stands out from other singers because no one else can sing like she can. Like when she sings "blue" in the song of the same name. Or reach and sit on top of those high notes. The album is a wonderful debut. Many of the songs are traditional country, and LeAnn's voice makes them sound so country. The music production is simple and not overpowering, which is the way music should be on an album so that the music doesn't drown out the singer's voice. No wonder this debut turned LeAnn into an overnight superstar. It is a fine album all around.
