Carly Simon - A Moonlight Serenade On The Queen Mary 2
L**R
Carly delivers
Carly does Justice to every song in this video. And it will take you back to the era she arrived in: where there was no auto tune and artists had to sing from their hearts but when we were more thoughtful and examined life for ourselves, not subscribing to anything but joy.It brings joy to my heart to watch Carly perform and listen to her beautiful voice. And you’ll remember cranking up “You’re So Vain” when it ruled the charts - while celebrating the artist that Carly is. From my perspective, she came from that era of real music, and she brings it with her!

I'm pretty happy with this DVD.
I've always appreciated Carly Simon. This DVD has lots of her well known song along with some classics. It's nice to see her live in concert. She really seems to enjoy entertaining.

Nice to hear an pro doing something different....
A perennial favorite since the 70's, its been awhile sinceI heard from Carly Simon. This is a nice idea and I like themeshing of her two styles of music into one show on a boat.Sure at 60 your vocals aren't like they use to be during theheydays of youth but its mean spirited some bash Carly for getting out there and doing this, can't stop time and iteventually effects even the greats voices but... I'm tried of everything having to be soperfect all the time. This is very stylish, warm and entertaining and featuressome great ol songs. I'm glad Carly is dealing with stage shyness(she is a natural entertainer just watching this) and involves her daughter and friends, especially the acousticset she does which is intimate and touching. Well worth owning.

CARLY SIMON + CUNARD CRUISE SHIP LINES = Well, You Watch and Figure It Out!
Okay, I will try and make this as simple as possible. You're on a cruise ship. No, not any ordinary cruise ship - you're on the Queen Mary 2, Cunard Lines and all that. No, there are no sliding/diving boards for the kids or grandma. Once again, you're on the Queen Mary 2. Okay, you got it?Next, for your dining and entertainment pleasure, they have hired someone named Carly Simon to sing for you. No, this is no "has been" performer who was picked up in Miami at the last moment before the cruise departed, who had a few gigs with so-and-so back in New Jersey in the 1950s or '60s. THIS IS CARLY SIMON! Okay, picture getting clearer?Now, add or combine the two. Let's review: CARLY SIMON plus the CUNARD LINES must be equal to some "dang-ed" great performance to use a parlance that I think we may all understand. Wouldn't it be nice if there were a DVD/video of Bryan Ferry or some such "modern crooner" doing the same thing as Carly? Gee, I don't know. I guess we'll just have to live with this video from Carly. OKAY, I COULD DO THAT! CAN YOU?Thanks, Carly! I truly wonder what your family life must have been like growing up in Upstate New York. Thanks for your memories, because I am certain that they coincide with the memories of many others. Now, throw all that together in a grown-up way and add the elegance and setting of the QM2, and you have one heckuva DVD!For those of you too young to understand this, well, there's always Ariana Grande.Thanks, Carly!

I love this video. Carly is a true and appealing star.
What a lovely voice, easy gestures and charm to spare. It's such a pleasure to listen to and watch Carly perform Moonlight Serenade. This dvd could almost be considered a cabaret setting even though it's presented aboard the Queen Mary! It's delightful in every way. If you're in love, you'll feel even more in love and, if you're not, you'll want to be!

One of the best at anything music and the singing of it.
When I first heard Your so Vain in the early 70's I was immediately entranced and knocked out when I saw what Carly could look like on the cover of No Secrets.`Listened to much of her music on and then in the early 90's got Her Greatest Hits Live I believe it was but really locked on to Coming Around Again especially the performance with the littler children chorus she used on that performance. So much respected her all the time since and then needed to buy an item to get free shipping on over 25 dollar order and was going to get the Martha's Vineyard DVD but then saw this as it was much cheaper and just what I needed dollar wise. My wife and I put it on tonight and well..........I think miss Simon can sing the phonebook and I would be into it.........just gorgeous and you know the people in the crowd were high rollers of some type and bet it cost some huge money to get into it. Fabulous musicians all through including her daughter Sally Taylor singing backup and playing guitar so If you like music that will relax you yet you find yourself tapping your foot then get this. Marvelous picture as well..........very tastefully done.

nostalgic show
carly is in good voice, the band and back up singers (one of which is her daughter) are in perfect form as well. the filming is clear and flawless. i still can't figure out how i never saw a single camera man, considering all the constantly changing views and angles. i would have liked to see more of the ship(they show this occasionally during instrumental portions or between songs). the set is half big band standards and half her own material. it is performed in the ballroom with a mixture of regular passengers and professional dancers dancing to it, so don't expect a regular concert style dvd. this was made to reflect the old 1940's classy style cruise experience. they even use black and white filming for a short portion to give you the full ambiance of being able to step back in time right now on the QM2. the price being so reasonable, and the fact amazon seems to be the only dvd seller that carries this title make it a worthwhile novelty to own. otherwise if it were not for the sound and visual qaulity of the production the overall content would make this release just passable.

PARA MI LO MEJOR DE C.S.
Siempre me habían gustado algunas de las canciones de C.S. Sin embargo, en esta serie de videos se muestra en plenitud interpretando algunas versiones, para mi gusto, de forma memorable.
