It is a crying shame that these so called artists will get recognition from their horrible and I mean HORRIBLE cover of Ryan Adams’ beautiful ballad “When the Stars Go Blue”. I just heard the Corrs version and I was mortified. Ryan hasn’t even gotten attention for this song from his album “Gold” which hasn’t even been out a year yet and the Corrs have the audacity to record a terrible rendition of it and release it on record. And if that’s not bad enough they had to get the mighty Bono to make it even worse. Is nothing sacred in this world? I guess not. This entire album is nothing more than boring tripe for the 30 and over non-adventuresome mainstream sheep who think what they listen to is cool and makes them cool. Get a clue people. Ryan Adams isn’t dead yet but if he were he would be rolling in his grave. I may purchase a copy of this so I can burn it.

another smudge in the dreary american music scene. when things start to look up, the bad things keep crashing back thanks to vh1. this album is boring, another boring album in a succession of boring albums. it seems the music never takes off and without studio enhancement comes off very weak performed live. i purchased it in hopes of an improvement from what i’ve seen on vh1 in music videos but realized after the first two tracks i had only blown fifteen dollars.

While serious music fans lament the popularity of Britney Spears and other slickly packaged and marketed youth music “product,” they’d also best be wary of what’s happening in the adult music scene. Artists like Shania Twain and others have scored older fans by baring midriffs and making overproduced albums with one or two hits followed by a string of filler songs or, even worse, bad covers.
Filling snugly into this category are The Corrs. The cover of their live VH-1 album will likely leave you dead in your tracks, since every member of the band/family is heart-stoppingly attractive. But aside from that cover shot, the band is more a wolf in sheep’s clothing. They’ve got nice voices, and they do seem to play their own instruments, but that’s about as far as it goes.
Hits like “Breathless” are as cream puff as you can get, but the Corrs really begin to offend all musical reasoning when they start to cover classic songs like “Little Wing” and “Ruby Tuesday.” The latter, complete with lighter fluid from Ron Wood, turns a golden rock oldie into an adult contemporary piece that would be excellent accompanying music as the barista at Starbucks makes your double caramel latte.
This isn’t really rock music. It’s the music neo-yuppies listen to as they plan their next excursion to Banana Republic. It doesn’t get lumped in with all the pre-packaged glop out in the market right now, but it belongs there. Even an appearance by world ambassador and occassional musician Bono can’t help it. In fact, it hurts his credibility more than it helps that of the Corrs. Fitting then, that this disc come from the folks at VH-1. Michael Bolton feels edgy by comparison.

Boring, boring, boring. Does “Runaway” have to apppear in every The Corrs release? They’re a very talented band and they really sound nice. I only hope that they come up with new material. It’s frustrating for a collector like me to spend money on something “new” that I already own.
