My initial reaction to her singing was wow, wow, WOW! She really knocked my socks off! I stumbled upon Marieann while looking for a nice rendition of a song that I love called "Something New In My Life." Marieann's voice is a voice that cannot be ignored. It's that good. She belts out a song with the power of any one of the great female singers. If I had to compare her voice to anyone else, I would say that it most resembles Leann Rimes, with a touch of Linda Eder and just a dash of Bette Midler. That is high praise indeed. Having said that, though, I want to stress that this woman is an original. Her renditions of these songs are unique and incomparable, truly. Her version of the theme from "Valley of the Dolls," for example, is heart-wrenching, and it far surpasses the original version sung by Dionne Warwick! Imagine that! Marieann's singing will give you goosebumps for sure, and that I can guarantee! Please don't hesitate to buy this song collection! You won't be disappointed! Marieann's vocal performances equal even exceed those of the greatest female voices of song, and it doesn't get any better than that!
