LOUDER with LEA Michele


I don't want to say like allmusic and some else, but don't want to lie either. I miss the musical numbers of her Rachel Berry character!

Lea's voice, one of the world's best, would've deserved a more rich debut album. Whole package seems boring, and most songs feels "less music" than in Glee. Even though this pop is still uplifting! My appreciation of the tunes rises and falls like elevators, never on the same floor from round to round.



most Amusing song: CUE THE RAIN

most Beautiful song: EMPTY HANDED

most Sexy song: YOU'RE MINE

most Soulful song: BATTLEFIELD

most Tedious song: CANNONBALL

most Mysterious song: THOUSAND NEEDLES

most Growing Strong song: ON MY WAY
