Product Description
Amazon.co.uk Review
Making A Dream Come True must certainly have been just that for 12-year-old Becky Taylor, balancing singing with a symphony orchestra one day with being back at school the next. Having appeared in Les Misérables aged seven, she won the Thorndyke Theatre Talent Competition at eight and the British Arts Awards two years later. Inevitably dubbed the "new Charlotte Church", Taylor nevertheless avoids hymns and classical arrangements, offering an appropriately youthful selection from movies and musicals. Several of these, including the specially written "Song of Dreams", continue the theme of dreaming or have fantastical, magical connotations. With a Hollywood-style production and numbers from Peter Pan ("Just Beyond the Stars" and "I'm Flying") Mary Poppins, ("Stay Awake") and The Rescuers, ("Someone's Waiting for You") there is a Disney-sweet sensibility throughout. Taylor makes a fine job of "Over the Rainbow", being a much more appropriate age for Dorothy than Judy Garland was. Moreover, she is surprisingly comfortable with "I Could Have Danced All Night" from My Fair Lady, though anyone would struggle to make much of "Thank You, Stars" from Watership Down. Demonstrating a voice years ahead of its time, this cute and innocent album promises much for Becky Taylor's future as a major stage-musical star. --Gary S Dalkin

At just twelve years old Becky Taylor hold the maturity of a person much older than she is. Her voice is clear, true, and fills you with a joyful, happy feeling. I find myself singing along to the tunes most of us know so well! Sounding a little like Charlotte Church and a little more like Julie Andrews I encourage you to buy and listen to this CD.
