Query: Unworthy encore

Russell Watson has given us an unworthy successor to his first album. Whereas that first recording boasts an imaginative choice of music and some sturdy singing, this new release is much more unimaginative in its production. Worse, Russell Watson's singing has greatly deteriorated and he is merely a shadow of his former self.I think that if the singer is in poor voice, the record company should wait until he has recovered until getting him into the studio. Artistic excellence should always take precedence to commerical considerations.
