Highlights from an actual Amazon Spotlight review of Ultimate Barry Manilow (From Just Thunkin')

Reviewer: Jerry McDaniel from Leesburg, OH USA January 26, 2003

"While i don't agree that the CD should have been called "Ultimate Manilow" (that honor goes to "The Complete Collection and Then Some...") i am glad that Arista has compiled 20 of the essential Manilow hits on one CD................ one reviewer simply lists a bunch of his songs as "poo"(?) and never really says the reason they think they're "poo", whatever that word means......... what's wrong with a pop singer having sincerity and care for lyrics? who said that pop singers have to prance around that morons ( Metallica, Aerosmith, Kiss, REM, etc.) and sing about killing their wives/girlfriends or glorifying America's obsession with material items? (Madonna, Britney Spears, Christina Augueilra or however her name's spelled, Avaril Lavigne, etc.)........ you know, nobody has the right to tell someone that they're too sentimental or mawkish. fine if such things make you vomit, but remember that you're not the only ones who listen to music, either! get this CD and you'll be amazed at Barry's wonderful vocals and his trademark 'power ballads'."
