Amazon.co.uk Review

Aimed principally at those who love posing in front of their bedroom mirror pretending they're the next Madonna or Robbie, You Can Sing is a bluffers' guide to singing pop. The main feature follows teenagers Danni and Peter as they receive coaching from two of the UK's leading pop-vocal coaches, Carrie and David Grant. Unlike the cut-throat competition of Pop Idol and Fame Academy, this is a cosy step-by-step guide to singing, with the Grants adopting cuddly teacher personas. The two students are not your everyday pop wannabes either, having seemingly been dragged in from stage school rather than the street. The feature climaxes with the pair putting into practice Carrie and David's seven steps to success (ranging from breathing technique to vocal range) by professionally recording tracks such as Williams's "Angels" and Christina Aguilera's "Beautiful".

The show includes advice from some of the Grants' most recent and successful students—among them Will Young, Melanie C and Lemar--and there are also brief guidance segments on topics such as whether it's safe to sing with a cold. Critics might say that a programme such as this simply encourages more second-rate karaoke singers to dream of pop stardom; but at the very least it might ensure that future pop-reality shows aren't short of talent.

On the DVD: You Can Sing's somewhat lacklustre main feature is boosted by the interactivity of the extra material included on the disc. The songs "Angels" and "Beautiful" can be practised at home in karaoke-fashion, with the lyrics flashed on to the screen. There's also the opportunity to feel what it's like to perform in front of a roaring live crowd. The interviews with the star graduate can be watched in their entirety via the bonus material menu and the short feature on correctly holding a hair brush as if it is a microphone is fun and informative.--John Galilee

5.0 out of 5 stars Very Informative, 8 Oct 2003

By A Customer

This review is from: You Can Sing [VHS] (VHS Tape)

Was looking forward to buying this, and I wasn't disappointed!! I've been singing in a musical theatre company for 10 years, and I have to say that I learnt more about vocal and singing technique in this video, than I have done in the whole 10 years I've been singing. I've noticed changes in my voice already, after only doing the exercises once or twice (the forward placement technique is fantastic!).
I look forward to my voice going, literally, from strength to strength, and may well wear this video out!
Perhaps I should buy the DVD........!

4.0 out of 5 stars For the budding singer, 3 Feb 2004

By A Customer

This review is from: You Can Sing [VHS] (VHS Tape)

I got this for my partner and even though he is almost 30 years old he enjoyed it very much. The video is pratical with lots of 'take part' exercises - fun for all ages and it even has a chance to sing-a-long some of the tracks you will have learnt in the video (oh and his voice has improved too - the in the shower singing is much nicer!)

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent but..., 1 Sep 2006

Dodster (UK) - See all my reviews
(TOP 500 REVIEWER) (VINE VOICE)

This review is from: You Can Sing-Seven Steps to Singing [DVD] (DVD)

This is not a quick fix. If you are looking for a dvd to give your singing a quick improvement (if there is such a dvd!) this is not it. To improve requires time, practise and dedication.

The instruction on the dvd is excellent. Carrie and David present the techniques in an accessible, understandable way then take you through each technique showing how to master it. Then it's up to you to persevere and practise.

If you're serious this is for you, if not forget it.
