"I always found it strange that when you say in the U.S you like Michael Bolton people react like you're retareded.
I'm from The Netherlands and although he's not as famous here as in the rest of the world,his music is very much respected,not only by music buyers but also by Ducth recording artists,for example RENE FROGER wich is one of Hollands best selling singers recorded two Bolton tracks on his 1990 album "Midnight Man" the songs were "I almost believed you" and specialy written by Bolton for Froger "Am i dreaming" . But i now understand why some people in the states react this way about Bolton,its the same here in Holland with Rene Froger,they are very main stream and sold a lot of records and sell out major concerts,we'll i don't mind because i'm as mainstream as every other normal Dutch,American,German or where ever guy,i'm a security guard,i watch Stallone movies,i drive a Nissan,and i like prime time sitcoms and i also like to play Michael Bolton cd's on my Sony cd player in my average appartment.
And all i want to say to those who find that's boring is:
"SO I'M MAINSTREAM! SO WHAT!!!!
Ps:Great cd Michael!"

""Only A Woman Like You" is a truly beautiful album. Every song on here is very smooth, and the whole thing flows through very nicely. Minus the ear-splitting vocals Bolton is famous for, Michael shows that he has learned how to be smooth, and instead of his voice being strained, it's REstrained. Great, great album."
