I bought this for Maggie May, its a nice update on Rod's original. Ben is talented of that there is no doubt but it has to be said he is "jack of all trades, master of none" vocally that is reflected in the cover songs selected. He has a good voice but it just isn't distinctive enough to stand out in a crowd.
Verified purchase: Yes | Condition: Pre-owned
Ben Mills is a superb artist and I have seen him live many times. I needed a replacement cd of his first album and playing it again after a year or so I found it to be just as good (if not better!) than I remembered.
This talented young man has a unique voice, not unlike that of Rod Stewart but, in my opinion, better. For me, whatever song he tackles, he succeeds in putting over the song's message with such quality. 'Beside You' is a swingy track which suits Ben's voice well; Amazed and Nothing But The Truth are ballads and both benefit from his gravelly voice; Maggie May has been taken from Rod Stewart and made into Ben's own, with his great style. Anytime You Fall and Somebody To Love are my favourites; Ben puts such great feeling into them. I don't think there are any tracks on this album which I don't like although my least favourite is the title song 'Picture Of You'. If you enjoy something a bit different but without being overbearing and too popsy, then this album is a great buy.
Never thought I would ever buy an X factor CD, however because of track 10 (which I love) I thought I would check out the rest of the material. It was a pleasure. Friends have heard it in the car and asked who it was and have bought their own copy. Not only has this guy got great hair, he can certainly sing. His interpretation of Maggie is a pleasant change from the Rod wanna bees. Well done Ben!
Having heard Ben Mills on X Factor I really wanted to buy his CD. I was not disappointed! He sings some really classic songs, such as Rod Stewart's Maggie May, in his own style. All the tracks are fantastic and I feel it is a CD I will play again and again.
