Amazon.com Anyone who remembers the thrill of LeAnn Rimes's debut single, "Blue," the best song Patsy Cline never cut, can't help but be bummed by how country's little Lolita has squandered her talent. Since that initial burst of glory, Rimes has largely wasted her Ferrari of a voice on lame cover tunes, empty power ballads, and undistinguished light pop. Case in point: I Need You, which builds its foundation on three Diane Warren songs, two of which ("But I Do Love You," "Can't Fight the Moonlight") appeared on the Coyote Ugly soundtrack. Nothing moves past midtempo, but Rimes steps out of her usual comfort zone with the Wynonna-ish funk of "Love Must Be Telling Me Something" before moving on to "Written in the Stars," her duet with Elton John. Listeners who suffer through that deserve what they get--the two don't so much sing together as trade bloody uppercuts and right-crosses. For the most part, this collection positions itself as an all-you-can-eat smorgasbord of pop styles, but you're hungry for something more substantial right away. Let's hope the future promises a big change in menu. --Alanna Nash Similarly Requested CDs

CD ReviewsNOT LeAnn's NEW album! Patrick | Wisconsin, USA | 02/01/2001 (5 out of 5 stars) "This album needs to come with a warning that this is NOT LeAnn's new album! Everybody is grading the album down because there are old songs on it. This is a package of previously recorded songs that were not on any official LeAnn Rimes album. Her NEW pop album comes out this spring! Everybody take a sigh of relief. LeAnn wont let you down. Now I'll review the songs on the album.1. I Need You - A gem! It's the best song on this or any other LeAnn album. It'll be hard for her to top herself on this one.2. But I Do Love You - A great new sound for LeAnn. Most artists songs all sound the same. This gives variety to what LeAnn can do.3. You Are - A wonderful upbeat song. It really makes you want to sing along.4. Soon - It's by Diane Warren so you know it's gonna be good. LeAnn's voice soars on this song.5. Can't Fight The Moonlight - One of my favorites! Britney Spears has nothing on her! LeAnn can do any style, any time, anywhere!6. Love Must Be Telling Me Something - A nice song. Sounds a bit outdated. Would have gone good on her self titled album.7. Written In The Stars - Elton John picked the perfect person to duet with. One of the most beautiful duets you'll ever hear.8. One Of These Days - A great sound but could have been a lot better. The climax of the song is at the beginning and it leaves no surprise at the end.9. I Believe In You - The best of the new songs. Would be a big hit if released as a single and video. Probably wont be.10. Together, Forever, Always - Sounds out of place on this pop album. This song is old style country. A great preview of what LeAnn can do as a song writer. Would be a big hit on Country stations. Reminds fans of her "Blue" days.Over all GREAT ALBUM!" A Good Album, Considering Storm2001 | Campbellsville, KY USA | 02/19/2001 (4 out of 5 stars) "The main thing one must remember while listening to this CD is that these tracks are not the choices of the artist. LeAnn Rimes found out that this CD was going to be released about a month before it hit store shelves. She put no work into it and didn't get the choices of what songs would be included. Her former record label, Curb Records, recycled LeAnn material they had stored away which includes previous released singles, unfinished music, and songs that she chose NOT to use on earlier records. But Curb needed some money I suppose and thought they hadn't milked from LeAnn lately and decided, "Hey let's use this girl again." Considering what Curb has done, this CD is pretty good. The songs range from well written ballads to up-tempo tracks that can be enjoyed from the typical LeAnn Rimes fan. She has apologized to her fans that her label has released this music and insures us that more (and better) is on the way." Not for the traditional L.R. fan... Sun Ce | Seattle, Wa United States | 01/31/2001 (4 out of 5 stars) "First off, I have bought all of LeAnn Rimes albums. Some I liked a lot, others, I couldn't stand. In other words, I enjoyed Sittin' On Top Of The World and consider that my favorite, though Blue is fairly good. If you have both, you will notice the difference between modern (ahem) country/pop and traditional country (errr, Sittin' vs Blue...).I was very disappointed with her last album, but kept it only because of the photos. They were most wonderful, but after Sittin', she went back to traditional sounding country.This time, she has definitely stepped into her own (just wish she would write her own stuff...). You could call it 'modern' country or even pop and it's almost as good as Sittin'. Let me say this, I didn't watch Coyote Ugly so I didn't see her freshmen acting performance, though I do recognize the songs. I Need You is a good album with a good mix of pop and rockin' country. I have found that LeAnn has tremendous range with her voice so she is very able to change to different types of music. The Elton John duet is excellent (almost sounds like a Billy Joel to me...) and the music is very groovy.Like the Vitamin C album that just came out, I wish the booklet was much larger. No lyrics, no photos, no nothing!!! It has the track listings and... Oh lovely. It almost seems like a rush job to get the disc out because of the poor booklet. Part of the charm were the wonderful pictures..."
