"Taking songs from his Centre Stage and The Musicals cds, Michael Ball has compiled the best of musical theatre from the classics (Something's Coming) to present day gems (Seasons of Love). Three tracks alone make this a worthy CD to buy: Music of The Night -- Michael proves that he could be a worthy successor to the original Phantom with his rendition of this song. Love Changes Everything -- Michael's signature song and Anthem, from Chess. This was the first time I'd heard this particular song and I had chills as I listened to Michael sing it. If you are a new fan of Michael Ball, this would be an excellent introduction to the music Michael does best. Highly recommended to everyone who enjoys Michael's singing."

"This a terrific cd by the best voice in musical theater today. Michael can make you feel every nuance in each and every song. His rendition of You Will Never Walk Alone will bring a tingle to your spine and make you want to listen to him sing the "phone book". He is the best there is."
Pretty Good Anthology!

"Michael Ball definately has one of the creamiest tenor voices in Musical Theater today, and this culmination from a couple of his CDs is definately a bargain. Besides a "live" version of his "Love Changes Everything", this is a great cross-section of showtunes past & present. What's wonderful about Michael is that he's fearless as a singer, and NOT afraid to sing songs usually credited to females: "I Dreamed A Dream", "Don't Rain On My Parade", "Tell Me On A Sunday", and my personal favorite from this CD- the haunting ballad "Tell Me It's Not True" from Willy Russell's BLOOD BROTHERS. With 18 fabulous shows represented here, any lover of Musicals should welcome this collection."
WONDERFUL CD!!!

"Michael Ball is still one of the BEST male musical theatre singers around right now. Most of the songs on this CD have been heard before, as he's done some on other CD's or T.V. specials. Still... it's nice to have them all compiled. ANTHONY WARLOW sings half the songs on this CD better, but it's hard to compare the two. They are two very different and talented singers. Purchase the CD and enjoy..."
Wish there was more

"I first heard of Michael when I bought Les Miserables-In concert at The Royal Albert Hall Video and I thought he was amazing. His voice gives me chills (good ones!). He is truly a rare talent. I wish there were more songs on this CD. I'll just have to buy more and I intend to."
