Alison Moyet Album: “One Blue Voice”

I most definetly agree with the prior review of this DVD concert. Moyet has always been one of my favorite singers because of her depth & strong voice: at times it sounds strong & robust and in a few seconds she sounds delicate & tender; just an amazing vocalist with a great range. I liked all the songs but I really liked the renditions of:

Satellite, This House, Almost Blue, Ski, If you don't come back to me, Windmills of Your Mind, Momma Momma, You don't have to go & Only You; but my 3 favorites were: Satellite, This House & You Don't Have To Go. Watch it & be the judge; and yes PBS take notes & broadcast this concert please. She's certainly "England's Best Kept Secret", indeed.

As a longtime Moyet fan, I was a bit leery of this disc being able to capture the essence of her live performance quality.

Wow.

From the first track until the end, all one can think is that this is the greatest vocalist of our times. Her control and pitch are beyond perfect, and the way that she delivers is...beyond description. Her songwriting skills are just as equally as perfect. Only once in a great while does such great talent emerge, and we are all blessed to be living during one of those such times. Holiday, Fitzgerald? May I introduce to you, Moyet.

Thanks Alison...you done good.

Having been a fan of Alison since the days of YAZOO - I had always wanted to see her in concert - and I was lucky enough to do so AND meet her during her ESSEX tour of the USA - words cannot describe the voice/stage presence that Alison gives off.

While most singers are jumping around and acting stupid - Miss Moyet stands there and puts so much emotion into her material, and the material of others, that you want to hear more and more from her...and on this DVD we finally get to see her at rare form!

The production quality is SUPERB to say the least - the extras are quite nice, the band is an amazing compliment to her vocals - and Alison herself looks fantastic.

Each song is a pure joy to hear - WINDMILLS< ALMOST BLUE< THIS HOUSE....stunning songs...and my personal fav after THIS HOUSE - WRAGGLE TAGGLE GYPSIES. it's a pleasure/honor/treat to have known her material for so long, and to have stood next to her and chat for a brief moment, but buy this DVD and see what the raving is all about - the UK loves her, her loyal USA fans adore her, and this DVD is just a sampling of the many vocal talents of this wondrfully gifted human being! Cheers to you Alf - well done ole' girl~! :-)

This is a flawless concert. Alison Moyet has many facets, my favorite being the bluesy singer of the "Hoodoo" era--but she is also a good interpreter of standards, and this is the focus of "One Blue Voice." The intimate setting, before a small audience of devoted fans, suits the material. It is recorded well, and features mostly songs from her last two albums, "Voice" and "Hometime," the first being standards, the second one of her very best albums of originals. Alsion is very candid and intelligent about her work, and the bonus interview is better than most of its ilk.

Great Product: There are 2 female singers that are the greatest of all time. Alison Moyet, in my opinion, is one of them. This DVD is exceptional and includes interviews with her. Get this while you can. Astonishing. Great Price. Fast Shipping.
