专辑回顾- “This Time… It’s Personal”
热门歌曲专辑 “This Time… It’s Personal”-2000
It’s fascinating to note that despite the fact the majority of fans discovered Michael via his array of Musical Theatre roles, when it comes to his albums, the ones that frequently get mentioned are the ones comprised of music almost entirely from outside the theatre world. One of his most enduring releases is This Time It’s Personal, where Michael selected songs that meant a lot to him.
This was really the first album where Michael was able to properly display his fondness for Country songs, where he tackles Garth Brook’s ‘If Tomorrow Never Comes’ and Shania Twain’s ‘Still The One’ with spectacular results. The more heartfelt numbers arrive in the form of ‘The Greatest Man I Never Knew’ and especially ‘The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face’ which is stunning.
There’s upbeat fare with the likes of ‘Walking In Memphis’ and a great version of the Texas hit ‘I Don’t Want A Lover’. On top of that, we saw the first real glimpse of what was to come, with ‘Just When’ and ‘Never Coming Back’, a pair of songs Michael wrote with his friend Brian Kennedy. While he may play down his earlier songwriting efforts, these two tracks have aged very well and remain popular with the fans.
有趣的是，尽管大多数歌迷是通过迈克尔在音乐剧舞台上的表演而发现他的，但在讨论他的专辑时，经常提到的是那些几乎完全由非音乐剧曲目组成的专辑。其中一张最持久的专辑是《This Time It’s Personal》，迈克尔在这张专辑中选择了对他而言非常重要的歌曲。
这真的是迈克尔第一次能够充分展现他对乡村音乐的喜爱，他在这张专辑中出色地演绎了加斯·布鲁克斯的《If Tomorrow Never Comes》和夏奈亚·特温的《Still The One》。更加感人的歌曲包括《The Greatest Man I Never Knew》和尤其是令人惊叹的《The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face》。
还有一些欢快的曲目，如《Walking In Memphis》以及对得克萨斯（Texas）的热门歌曲《I Don’t Want A Lover》的出色版本。此外，我们看到了未来的一瞥，《Just When》和《Never Coming Back》，这是迈克尔与他的朋友布赖恩·肯尼迪（Brian Kennedy）合作创作的两首歌曲。尽管他可能低调地评价了自己早期的创作努力，但这两首曲目至今仍然广受歌迷喜爱，经久不衰。
