Deception...

""This is it" sounds like a deception. Everything was there to make a good album: Twisted, one of the best house label, famous producers( Danny Tenaglia, Peter rauhofer, E-Smoove, Maurice Joshua, Cevin Fischer,...)...The result is desappointing and very heavy: Celeda's voice is restricted and boring, lyrics are conventional and demagogic to the utmost, songs aren't very original and often similar ("burning up", "try again",..). A few songs are good ( club 69's"let the music use you up", Maurice joshua's"this is it") but forgettable. The real and only treasure of the record is Danny Tenaglia's beautiful "be yourself (and no one else)", a deeeep and sensual track, the reason why i give this album 3 stars. Celeda is cool but doesn't possess the strenght of a diva and can't compare to Martha wash, Jocelyn Brown or Kim English....Really."

THE TRUE DIVA HAS ARRIVED, LONG LIVE CELEDA !!!!

"WHen I I first heard Celeda it was on Music is the answer and that song alone had me jumping while I was in Greece. You can feel the influence Sylvester has on Celeda. The only traq I couldn't get into was # 10. But nonetheless Celeda deserves a five from me, caus I've never anticipated getting a cd as much as I anticipated getting this on. My search is over, I can rest in peace !Eric a.k.a Johnny Rokko b.k.a. Ace"

YOU GO GIRL!!!

"Not since Sylvester have we had a transvestite dance artist with the spunk of Celeda. Each song on this CD makes the toes tap, the feet move and the arms wave in the air. "Be yourself" is going to push "I will survive" and "I am what I am" out of the top place as THE gay anthem for years to come. Get this CD - it brings you joy - and we all have too little of that these days."
