Ocean Blue — flirts with being cheezy (canned ocean sounds, the “I don’t want to hurt you” passage in the lyrics) but is still pretty good. Again I’m impressed with her voice. She’s got a great vibrato. She’s like a cross between Carol Carpenter and the girl in Heart (can’t think of her name). In fact, it wouldn’t surprise me if she has problems shaking the rap that she doesn’t sound modern enough, that she’s too 70s. I like the period vibe though.
Thanks again for your input! I really appreciate your opinions. Many people have said that Michele sounds like Karen Carpenter or Ann Wilson from Heart.
