Nina doesn't live up to hype in live album

THERE'S been no escaping Nina for the past three years. Ever since she debuted on the scene, the so-called "Soul Siren" has been appearing here, there and everywhere. And, with the recent triple-platinum success of her "Nina Live!" album, it looks like we'll be hearing and seeing even more of her!

Covers
This collection of live covers is the singer's third record, and its success is a testament to Nina's popularity--but not, we must say, to her talent. If anything, this non-studio-embellished album shows us that the singer still has a long way to go before she can qualify as a major diva.

Sure, there's been a great deal of hype about her for some time now, but hype does not necessarily indicate the existence of eat-you-heart-out talent.

Hype is just hype, and we're sorry to say that Nina does not live up to hers--and we base this conclusion on several hours of listening to her live compilation.

Going unplugged is one of the best ways to measure a singer's worth, after all inasmuch as studio equipment can cover up a multitude of "sins."

Not that Nina has a large number of failings--but the few that she does have are rather conspicuous.

The biggest of these is her distressing tendency to go out of tune. You can forgive your six-year-old sister for not hitting the right notes, but not someone who's being touted as a diva. Singing in tune is the least one expects from professional singers, after all.

Direction
Another thing we don't particularly like is her joining the birit-style [high-pitched] school of singing. It doesn't approach eardrum-shattering Regine Velasquez levels yet, but she seems to be leaning in that direction. Unfortunately, her voice has a thin and forced quality--and it makes for painful listening.

Nina, in this album at least, has a knack for leaching the vitality out of her material. Take carrier single, "Love Moves in Mysterious Ways," for example. A dulled-down version of the Julia Fordham original, it's uninventive and soporific-a state of things brought about by the lack of dynamism in Nina's rendering.

Then again, it hit No. 1-so maybe it's just us! Have a listen at the material, and judge for yourself.

As for us, we won't be listening to Nina's music until she starts showing a little more of the soul she's supposed to have in spades.

Songs
Other songs in the 19-track "Nina Live!" collection include Celine Dion's "I Love You Goodbye," Chaka Khan's "Through the Fire," Jennifer Love Hewitt's "Cool With You," Aaliyah's "At Your Best," Brenda Russel's "Piano in the Dark," Gloria Estefan's "Anything for You," and the Eagles' "I Can't Tell You Why."
