Wine Enthusiasts - Listening Party

14. A moment like this—to be honest, it was a bit of a slog through the middle; I actually drifted off for a second there. It wasn't until things picked up halfway through that I really woke up. I'm a fan of the choir, though. 5.5/10

Forgive me, silverdrifter24 — she’s a bit repetitive, I'll give you that. But overall? Solid. 8/10.

forgive me - yessss baby, let's go. A solid 8/10 for the pivot after all those ballads... definitely earned it.

15. Forgive me? Honestly, that sounds like way too much work. I don't think I can bring myself to do it. To be fair, the chorus is actually pretty catchy, which is probably the only thing keeping this track afloat. I’d give it a 5.5/10.

Forgive Me - finally something with some decent pacing, though it’s pretty forgettable. 6/10

Mrs. Glass - total snooze fest.. 5/10

Mrs. Glass - alright, look, "forgive me" was enough, but this? This is just overkill. It's a 5/10 at best...

Nancy Collins16, forget you? haha, I wouldn't go that far...

16. Mrs. Glass - Three minutes feels just about right before things start to drag, but I’m still giving it a thumbs up. 8/10

Mrs. Glass - what the hell? 😕 I just don't get this song. 🤷 3/10

@Masho thanks for the heads up 🤣 😵 Man, I felt that track so hard I actually found myself crossing myself without even thinking about it. 😬

Run - Seriously, this cover is incredible. It actually hits harder than the original version... it gets to me every single time. 🙏 🙏 10+/10

All in all, it’s a pretty solid pop album, though it definitely has a few fillers thrown in there. The vocals are powerhouse, and the production is straight-up world-class. I just wish it had a few more uptempo tracks to keep the energy up.

WATCH - this live cover of the song is absolutely killer. honestly, top tier stuff. It’s Snow Patrol, right? Most people probably know it from that Leon singer... seriously, 10/10

Run - such an incredible cover. 🙏 Honestly, I think this version hits harder than the original; the emotion just feels more real to me. 👍 10/10

17. run - really solid stuff, though I felt the ending dragged on just a bit too long; if they'd wrapped things up around the 4:40 mark, the whole track would have stayed engaging instead of feeling a little repetitive toward the finish. Still, a very strong effort. 8.5/10

Any final thoughts?

I think the album is great. There’s a lot of solid stuff on here. The vocals are a total win... 9/10

I found this album to be a bit mediocre overall, mostly because there are just too many filler tracks. In my opinion, it would have been much more impactful to release a shorter project where nearly every song hits the mark, rather than piling on so much material that half of it feels tedious or unnecessary. I also personally would have preferred a few less ballads, though that's really just a matter of taste. On the bright side, his technical ability is impressive; he’s a talented vocalist with a wonderful range and a really lovely tone.

Where's Greco...

He popped up on Facebook to say he was around, but the idiot totally blew it...

Yeah, I'm with Donna Castillo38 on this one. It's a decent album with potential, but honestly, way too much filler. But those tracks rated 10? They're absolute bangers. 🙏 🙏 🙏

Greco flopped 😵 Probably just distracted by someone new again, classic. 🥳

Since it's her birthday today, here's what I'm thinking for tomorrow:



1. Liberty Walk
2. Who Owns My Heart
3. Can't Be Tamed
4. Every Rose Has Its Thorn
5. Two More Lonely People
6. Forgiveness and Love
7. Permanent December
8. Stay
9. Scars
10. take me Along
11. Robot
12. my Heart Beats for Love

Honestly, for a blunder like that, I probably should just lock this whole thing up.
😬

Nick seems a little feminine to me

Yeah, no kidding, definitely needs a lock.

p.s. sorry for going off-topic. 😁

Finally, we actually got the truth out in the open🎉
