"This cd is music to your ears, wonderful selection of female artists - well chosen, I recognized 17 out of 19 names and knew most of the songs and the ones chosen really capture the mood of the cd.



Most of the songs, as a whole, are slow, sometimes sad (Un-Break My Heart, I Can't Make You Love Me, Cry, Beautiful, Adia, etc.) but there are other songs that are played at just the right moment like Cher's "Believe" and Nelly's "I'm Like a Bird" which are more upbeat and uplifting.



The vocal stylings of all these very different women is so poignant and passionate, you can't help but have a deep appreciate for the music.



This is one cd I can play all the way through without skipping songs.



If I had to pick a personal favorite, I'd have to say Bonnie Raitt's "I Can't Make You Love Me" which features popular pianist Bruce Hornsby (they didn't credit him on cd - I guess to stay with the female theme, but it's definitely him on piano. I can hear his piano playing a mile away.)



This is one of those cds that's fun to sing along with when you're all by yourself and no one's watching. I can't tell you how many times I put a hairbrush to my mouth while pretending to be Leann Rimes singing "How Do I Live"



*smiles* it really is a good cd

"This cd is awesome! I can't believe the person before me said they didn't like Christina Aguilera! She's the best one on the cd. Christina is so talented. She shines on this cd. My three favorite (female) singers are all on this album (Christina, Nelly, & Jewel). You will love this mix of different genres and artists. The only song I would remove from the disc is Believe by Cher. Other than that, this cd is amazing!"

Very Good!

"It's all great! The only change I would make is that they should have used Kelly Clarkson's "Miss Independent" instead of "Low." That song is better, it was a bigger hit, and it fits better with this CD's theme. Other than that, if you love girl power, this is for you!"
