Summary:She opens this February 2007 set with the angry, lacerating You Never Get What You Want from her 1996 debut disc Living with Ghosts. Her tiny frame almost convulses as she belts out the vitriolic lines: "You spend your whole time thinkin' 'bout why I'm so deranged." Try [Tina Arena]'s alluring take on The Look of Love. You've heard it a million times by a million artists, yet Arena's voice resonates with so much enthusiasm you're reminded how special the song is. Similarly Dusty Springfield's signature songs I Only Want to Be With You and I Just Don't Know What to Do With Myself. Arena doesn't try to make them her own, rather celebrates songs that have rightfully perched themselves in the musical ether. It's far from karaoke -- To Sir With Love is given a modern twist on a retro sound, and there are two Diana Ross hits.
