heard Melody Gardot?

What I noticed on listening to this CD is that on the first half she sings with quite some vibrato and on the second half see sings with less vibrato.
Overall it is an excellent CD, but can become a little boring near the last tracks.
Anyone shares my opinion related to the vibrato

Vinylmeister,
I hadn't noticed the difference in the vibrato speed...you're VERY observant.
What I think is also VERY interesting is her emotion, the way she emotes so strongly, really selling the words.
A great friend and I were auditioning a piece of gear the other day, and I pulled out an old Karen Carpenter Album...for my taste, NOBODY has ever sold the emotion of a song like Karen did. The fact that, again, for my taste, her textures and richness of voice were just the bonus which made her have the most heavenly voice EVER for a female.
I wish that the GREAT Winston Ma would remaster some of her old recordings, doing what he has to some of the old classics! Can you imagine hearing Karen Carpenter after Winston and his people put their magic into a great remaster? Plus, Richard's arrangements were absolutely brilliant.
What a shame she's not 50, and still singing today...sad.

Great group of folks responding on this particular question! Thanks guys!

I also own both cd's, I put her in the ''romantic mood'' category. Not exactly for critical listening (at least for me) but, perfect for an intimate dinner. Women tend to love her voice in general. It's very atmospheric and cool music.

I picked up both of them too. For me, the first is average and it only got played once. The first half of "My One.." though, up until Les Etoiles is fantastic, and the second half loses it somewhat. Can't believe she's so young!

My Euro GF thinks that she's very influenced by Charles Aznavour, an artist from her youth listening in Belgrade. I'm still waiting for her dad to send the lp up for a listen. I'll post once I hear it.

I would agree with the Aznavour influence...he was a stylist, better for interpretation than vocal ability--nevertheless I loved to hear him sing.
