Dicot
(France) on Shirley Bassey
"Madame Shirley Bassey"

the Lyric Theater, I think in 1973."
Alicja

"The answer is very simple - Shirley Bassey can sing. She has an
incredibly beautiful voice! It is a pleasure listening to her songs. I have
admired her for such a long time, since I was 15 years! There is no one like
her - She is the only one who can sing and she is the best!"

"This page is not large enough to hold all the
reasons why Dame Shirley Bassey is my favorite diva! Shirley Bassey has it all!
She has the looks, she has the style, the class, the personality, And last,
but
definitely not least ... the very best voice in the business! In my opinion she
stands alone! Bassey's
the best!"
John

songs."
John
(UK) on Shirley Bassey

many years. My aunt and uncle are also big fans. Every time I hear Shirley I
remember all the good times we all had together. We went to one of her
concerts at Kelvin Hall, Glasgow, a way back in 74 I believe. She gets
better as she gets older."
Steve
(UK) on Shirley Bassey

make her the 'One and Only Shirley Bassey' for me."
Richard
(UK) on Shirley Bassey
"... because neither her voice nor her stage presence have ever
deteriorated in all her years in the business. She puts her heart and soul
into every song and every performance and has the enviable knack of making
each song sound newly-minted every time she sings it. Shirley is the best and
all other popular divas (Callas excluded) cannot hold a light to her. Well
done Shirley!"

Jodey
(USA) on Shirley Bassey
"I have lived my life through her songs, her voice is unsurpassed, her
style and grace is beyond approach, she sings to me each time I see or hear
her. She's beautiful, graceful, magnetic and inspiration. She has charm,
warmth and a
sincerity unlike many others. For most of my life I have listened to Shirley
Bassey, either doing James Bond songs or singing "This Is My Life".
I love to hear her voice and to watch her perform is awesome. She is by far
the best. Even though I have not been a part of her life as such, she has
been very much a part of mine through her songs.
I love her, her music, and want to hear and see more of her in America. Thank
You and God Bless Ms Bassey. Thank You, Thank You!"

Stage presence, beauty, and talent, Bassey leads the pack!"
Sylvie
(USA) on Shirley Bassey
"Shirley reaks divadom : the quality of her movement and the enthralling
rapture of her voice, captivate the soul. I've heard famous singers before at
their work, but Shirley doesn't simply 'work' or 'entertain', she is entwined
with her craft; singing is a life within her and when she sings she gives us a
chance to share the creation of life with her."

(USA) on Shirley Bassey

singers and being a Judy Garland fan as well, I think Shirley Bassey is the
best."

Manfred
(Germany) on Shirley Bassey
"The first time I saw Dame Shirley I was a young boy of 19. My favorite
stars were Cream, Creedence Clearwater Revival and many other rock bands. The
1974 performance in Düsseldorf, Germany was a birthday present from a good
friend of mine and really, I hadn't heard anything about a singer named Shirley
Bassey. So we went to the concert and I thought: It's unbelievable what you
hear and what you see at this moment! Yes, truly I was deeply impressed by
this voice and the personality of this great woman and so I became a fan.
After all these years I can say: Sometimes when I felt sad, she made me feel
better. But sometimes when I felt good, she made me feel a little bit sad. Try
it by yourself with one of her greatest songs "What are you doing the
rest of your life?"
Mike
(UK) on Shirley Bassey
"For style, grace and power, no one can top Dame Shirley. No matter what
mood I'm in, she's got a song for it."
Malcolm
(UK) on Shirley Bassey
"I have admired the vocal brilliance of Miss Shirley Bassey since a child
and it was really a tough decision to choose her over the more modern Miss
Diana Ross and the equally legendary Miss Ella Fitzgerald (who I would place
as my second favourite - Sorry Miss Ross). Her range of material, and
vocal interpretations of songs are beyond belief and her stage performance and
presence is astounding. She appeals to all ages and has never stooped to
court popularity with salaciousness. She is beyond compare and stands
alone - Diamonds maybe forever - but Miss Shirley Bassey is eternal."
Fred
(USA) on Shirley Bassey
"Totality of her work, her willingness to travel the world to perform
before live audiences. Her nearly 50 years in the business and still going
strong. Besides, she is gorgeous."
M.A.

Andres

smoldering stage presence have earned her a special place in our hearts
as "The One and Only Shirley Bassey"."
João
(Portugal) on Shirley Bassey
"Shirley is my fav diva because my parents used to listen to her fantastic
songs when I was a child. Today Miss Bassey's voice is my favourite
of all the human voices because of its power, melody, etc. It's a reminder my
youth..."
George
(USA) on Shirley Bassey
She is deep and honest, she gives her soul to you when she sings and she is so

nn

of them. You will never see such a reception such as this ... with such
effortless ease ... she could teach the rest a thing or two, go and see her in
concert (if you can get tickets, they sell out within seconds!) you'll be
converted and it will stay with you for the rest of your life."
