December 13th - The Flint-Journal - Vegas on the roadBarry Manilow takes his Sin City showcase beyond the desert - By Doug Pullen
Barry Manilow says he doesn't know how much longer he'll continue his residency at the Las Vegas Hilton. "They would like to have me for a couple more years, but I'm still debating if I want to do this another year. I probably will," the singer says. "I'm made for this Vegas thing, not because it's cheesy or full of neon lights. It's not that. I love connecting with the audience and this place at the Hilton is just the right size for me. I can play around with it every night. It's like my sandbox." Click here for the full article
December 12th - Cleveland Free Times - Soundcheck: Barry Manilow
More a performer than a singer, Barry Manilow has a career that just won't quit. He's just issued a DVD boxed set that includes his television specials that aired between 1977 and 1988, and he's also put out a compilation dubbed The Greatest Songs of the Seventies that includes hits such as "The Long and Winding Road," "Mandy" and "I Write the Songs." In advance of his Cleveland show, which he emphasized is not part of a tour but rather a one-night event, Manilow spoke via phone about his lengthy career and why we shouldn't call his latest burst of energy a comeback. - Jeff Niesel Click here for the full article

December 9th - "Barry Manilow plays it BIG in Cleveland: Manilow demands power in his songs, passion in his pop" by John Soeder
Barry Manilow rawks! Kind of. I mean, when you really stop and think about it. "Most people think of Barry Manilow as, I dunno, a ballad singer, like a Johnny Mathis or somebody," says Manilow himself, who ought to know. That's NOT the kind of music I've ever made. And it's NOT the kind of music I've ever loved. I love POWER in the records I make." Click here for the full article
TV Guide Dec 3rd 2007 "Barry Manilow Brings the '70s Back to Life" by Tim WilliamsWhen he burst onto the music scene with "Mandy" in '74, Barry Manilow invented the power ballad and in the process changed prom songs forever. The rest of the Me Decade would prove the singer unstoppable (even by critics) as he produced a string of hits and created a loyal following of fans who found in his lush music an escape from the hard rock of the times. These days the Brooklyn boy is still making good, with a new CD for the holidays, In the Swing of Christmas (available at Hallmark stores), and a TV special, Barry Manilow: Songs from the Seventies (premiering Dec. 3 on PBS, check TV Guide listings), proving that much like the power ballad, Manilow will never go out of style.

He's just re-recording it. His last three albums have been covers collections, devoted, respectively, to pop hits of the '50s, '60s and '70s -- everything from "Are You Lonesome Tonight?" to "It Never Rains In Southern California." For the latest, "Greatest Songs of the Seventies," he also recorded acoustic versions of his own '70s hits, such as "I Write the Songs" and "Looks Like We Made It."
