Broadway The Way It Should Be!
, March 2, 2003Reviewer: Mandy - See all Mandy's reviewsLinda Eder's seventh solo album, Broadway My Way, is some of her best work yet. With songs from many of Broadway's most-loved shows, including My Fair Lady, Gypsy, The Sound of Music and Man of La Mancha, the album showcases Eder's vocal range and stamina. From light jazz ("On The Street Where You Live") and magical Celtic sounds ("Edelweiss") all the way to bold, brassy swing ("Some People") and full belting Broadway glory ("Anthem"), this album has it all. If you can appreciate the finer things in life, then you will truly savor every single note of Broadway My Way. ...

Pro Reviews: Broadway My Way
| EXPERT RATING: From AMG Reviews Almost exactly one year after her last foray into the pop music realm with Gold, Linda Eder returns to the Broadway style that made her a sensation with this 13-track tribute to the Great White Way. Tackling such famous songs as "On the Street Where You Live" from +My Fair Lady, "Some People" from +Gypsy, "Edelweiss" from +The Sound of Music, and "I'll Be Seeing You" from +Right This Way, Eder puts her own spin on some of her favorites while retaining the emotional draw that made them popular in the first place. A rather eclectic set, one might question why Eder would choose two songs from the same musical (+Man of La Mancha) and one ("Gold") from a show that is still in the works (not to mention that it was the title song from her previous release), when there are so many other selections that her fans, no doubt, would love to hear her cover. Also troublesome is that two recordings ("Man of La Mancha" and "Unusual Way" from +Nine) were taken from Eder's 1997 release, It's Time, causing the listener to wonder if time restraints created the need to duplicate, or if these songs are so close to Eder's heart that she felt compelled to include them on this collection. Either way, it really doesn't matter. As the album title states, this is Eder's Broadway, and style and substance make up for any false steps on this outing. A timeless talent that will far outlive many of those taking the undeserved spotlight on the Top 40 charts. - Daniel Malich, All Music Guide |

Instead of copying Barbra (who was imaginative in the 60's and 70's) Linda Eder needs to find a style that fits the new age! One that's her own, and not a carbon copy of every old singer that ever sang Broadway. The album is full of repeat Eder songs off of old albums, or cover songs that have been immortalized by other singers. Eder, at 42, cannot out do Barbra in her 60's and shouldn't even be trying. She
should sing her own material, and leave "Don't Rain On My Parade" and "Some People" to people who can sing that type of material, like
Liza and Barbra. I saw Linda Eder in her short
few week stint as Lucy in Jekyll and Hyde, and I agree with the critics who stated that she couldn't act. Although she is touted as a Broadway Diva, she has not earned that title yet, and I don't belive her voice is suited to Broadway. She doesn't have any of her own emotion or style to her voice. Just copies of other's emotion. I say,"Find your own style!" I give this album 1 star for the bad effort. ...
