兩顆星，還蠻慘的。
CoCo Lee
Just No Other Way
Epic/550 Music, 2000
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Coco Lee is known as the Mariah Carey of Taiwan. An American-raised pop-R&B
diva, she has scored huge hits across the Chinese-speaking world with a sound
and a look that owe, well, a lot to Mariah. Her U.S. debut, Just No Other Way,
is the kind of album that has one song called "Do You Want My Love" and
another called "Don't You Want My Love." But superslick bubblegum always needs
an original flavor, and Lee doesn't have Carey's pyrotechnical reserves or the
high-octane pheromones of Britney and Christina or the serpentine soul of
Kelly Price (her duet partner on "Can't Get Over"). She also doesn't have the
bracing grooves that could make her flexible, pretty voice stand out, or even
a great hook or catchphrase. All she has are a hundred borrowed vocal mannerisms
and a bunch of tunes made with cookie cutters that are blunt from overuse.
