    2. In the Philippines, Inquirer.net posted a review of A Wonderful World by Rito P. Asilo, “Feel-good carols, pop charmers spread holiday cheer”. The review in its entirety:
    “For its part, the recording “A Wonderful World” may be Susan Boyle’s lowest-charting album on the Billboard 200 chart (it peaked at No. 150, while 2014’s “Hope” debuted at No. 16), but it is also ironically one of the performer’s most accomplished collections.
    “The 10-track compilation, her seventh, cleverly utilizes the 55-year-old songstress’ celestial pipes in tunes that suit her singing style. The lineup astutely uses her stratospheric trills in arrangements that make her sound nothing less than angelic, especially in her covers of Paul McCartney’s “Mull of Kintyre,” the Disney classic “When You Wish Upon a Star,” Abba’s poignant “I Have a Dream,” Robbie Williams’ “Angels,” and Boyle’s understated but exquisitely sung version of Louis Armstrong’s “What a Wonderful World.”
    “Yes, the album still feels “safe,” but there are numbers that demonstrate the songstress’ willingness to “stretch and diversify”: She sings a duet with a “digitized” Nat King Cole, who died in 1965 at age 45, in Victor Young and Edward Heyman’s “When I Fall in Love,” and with the steel-voiced Michael Bolton in “Somewhere Out There,” which was first popularized by Linda Ronstadt and James Ingram in 1986.
    “If these don’t impress you, jump to the album’s ninth cut, and you’ll hear Boyle singing Madonna’s “Like A Prayer” like an ethereal church hymn—and, the good news is, she doesn’t disappoint!”
