Ms. O'Hara has a beautiful voice. She is also very versatile -- few vocalist's can go from a sultry hushed vocal like on "Slowly" (you're dead if this doesn't put you in an amorous mood!), to a modern pop song like "The Sun Went Out", to a standard pop tune like "All the Way", to raising the roof in an almost operatic version of "I Have Dreamed".

Kelli O'Hara-Wonderful!:
This collection of songs is new and refreshing. Having heard Kelli sing on Broadway in Pajama Game, My Fair Lady, South Pacific and others, I was well aware of her talent and passion! These selections by written by Harry Connick, Jr., Billy Joel, Greg Naughton (Kelli's husband) and Kelli, herself, are wonderful. Her voice is crystal clear and her beauty shows through and through. This is a cd that you will enjoy over and over.
