***** "Tonight" is my favorite"
Reviewer: Rick Dunwoody, GA.
.....you sound so much like early Kate Bush, particularly on "Wish". The music is eclectic and I like it. "Tonight" is my favorite and I like the quirkiness of Counter Calysmic".


*****I was impressed...
Reviewer: Buck H. from GA. on Jayne's TV interview with B.B. Webb on wctv12.com

I was finally able to watch the entire interview this Friday morning. Great interview. I enjoyed the four songs especially "Let me be there" and "Tonight". Great words, tune and presentation. ("There is No City as Pretty as Savannah" would have been great also)

I was impressed with the knowledge of Jayne having been commissioned by CBS for words and tunes for their shows. I was impressed with Jayne's heritage being from Russia with her being a "second generation" person.

.... my regards and respects for her talents and sincerity.

*****that was a major mind blower!
Reviewer: Alan L. Salt Lake City, UT.
I just watched (the) tv show (wctv12.com with BB Webb) WOW!!!!!
Girl - that was a major mind-blower!!!!
this was just terrific! I really enjoyed the show - each part kind of built up to the next..

I have been getting more into the quantum physics way of explaining and doing things, and we've come to really appreciate it. After watching "The Secret" about 6 months ago, a lot of those "weird" things that happen now & then, just don't seem so weird any more. And then, there you are on my computer, singing "Real Life"! How cool was that!!!!! I just sat here shaking my head - it was perfect!!!

"Crossing the Border" was powerful, hearing you tell the story. And "Tonight" - I'm sorry, but that's not just a song - that's a work of art. For whatever my opinion's worth, I think it's definitely a stand-alone.  As I was listening to it, I was picturing it being a theme for a movie (maybe good enough for a nomination?)

It kind of gives you hope for the future of music. You've got something very special, Jayne,

***** I really love the song!
Reviewer: Leah from Atlanta, GA.
I really love the song, Crossing the Border.  I love the fresh, rugged aspect of it; it's a sound you rarely hear in any kind of music. Very unique.

***** I really believe you have a mass-appeal hit
Reviewer: Randy Adams, national program director of the year for AC/HOT AC stations from New Music Weekly of Hollywood, California
I really believe you have a mass-appeal hit with "I GOT PLENTY" (Tiffany Milagro). Refreshing piece of music that is unique in delivery, has a positive message, and I plan on playing it as an extra beginning next week. Give it a shot nationally. I've been in the industry for 30 plus years. I think this song is very well done.

***** It is stunning... 
Reviewer: J. Reikhart CT.
I got the CD ("Crossing the Border") last week.... In a word, it is stunning! The sound, the musicianship, not to mention the songs themselves - everything about it is mindblowing. Early favorites (after the first listen) are Touch and Go and There is No City as Pretty as Savannah.... I wanted to let you know how much I enjoyed it and I will be listening to it frequently.

*****Here's hoping Tiffany Milagro finds success with Why Can't It Just Be Christmas? She has a beautiful voice...

Reviewer: Richard Banks. Review from www.christmasreviews.com
(Reviewed in 2006)

On the heels of her debut CD What's It To You? comes a Christmas single by Tiffany Milagro, the latest phenom to hit the pop scene.

The single, Why Can't It Just Be Christmas? finds the young artist in good voice, with an arrangement laden with youth appeal destined to garner some buzz this holiday season. I enjoyed the song, which asks the musical question 'why do we need so much commercialization of Christmas?' Not a new question, but a good one, and one that bears repeated asking. On that note, here's hoping Tiffany Milagro finds success with Why Can't It Just Be Christmas? She has a beautiful voice, and it's a good song.

Written, Produced, engineered and all instruments performed by Jayne Olderman and J. Donte Harris
Guitar: Julio Miranda
Background vocals: Tiffany Milagro, Jayne Olderman and J. Donte Harris.

***Hey Jayne-girl,
Reviewer: Tim (former owner of THE NIGHT FLIGHT, River St, Savannah, GA

Crossing The Border.....it's the work of a true professional from the songwriting angle and the production level - not to mention the superb performance. Many congratulations. I look forward to listening to it a bunch more and to discover new things each time.

It was really fun to hear, now and then, echoes of the eautiful, wonderful Jayne who played at Night Flight. There are certain qualities to your voice that are clearly rooted in the way you sang back in our innocent youths.
 

*****love the songs and production....
Reviewer: Catalina (Catalina Music) Miami, FL

Love, love the album cover to "Crossing the Border", love the songs and production as well, cant believe I was there when you were working on the pronunciation  of the words in Spanish for "Just Right" It came out phenomenal!

I really like your creative touch on Tiffany's record.

You are truly an inspiration...

*****Your music has touched me in so many ways...
Reviewer: "Moe Duff", Atlanta, GA.
Your music has touched me in so many ways and i think my favorite song is "Crossing the Border." i just love that song so much. i put in on my ipod and listen to it all the time. Re: photo gallery:... I love the photos....i love how you include the people who helped you along your journey to get to where you are today and the people that help you now a day in the photos. it shows that you really care about people and your music. Love, Moe Duff

*****The writing is really imaginative.
Reviewer: Dave W. from East Hampton, CT.
I received the CD (Crossing the Border) a few days ago. It's great! The writing is really imaginative. I especially like the Joey Melotti tune (Touch & Go), where your voice sounds really torchy, like you're leaning on the piano in some smoky club in the wee small hours...I could listen to you doing a whole album of standards that way!


*****I was so impressed with your music
Reviewer: Lee from Florida
I was so impressed with your music--the writing, singing and everything in between on your CD's. I know how much work is involved there.Thanks for your energy and for your inspiration with your music...
Blessings,
Lee

***** LOVED the new CD Crossing the Border !!!!!
Reviewer: Suzanne from Wilton, CT.
Count me in as one of your true fans!


***** I have almost worn out the Crossing the Border CD.
Reviewer: Sue from Blythe, CA 
I play it all the time in the car. That's my favorite.

***** I have been listening to your CD everyday!
Reviewer: I. Berrios, GA.
There are so many wonderful healing affirmations within your music. You are a shining star- I know your music is changing lives ...Shine on, Beautiful Jayne!!

***** I'm having a problem getting Meant To Fly out of my head
Reviewer: Joe R. CT.
When I first listened to the CD ("Crossing the Border"), ...a couple of songs hit me right away (Touch and Go, Savannah). I've been listening for the past couple of weeks and, besides enjoying the CD from start to finish, there are a couple of new favorites. I'm having a problem getting Meant To Fly out of my head - I walk around during the day humming it. But my real fave is Wish - what an absolutely beautiful song! ~ Joe "Spuds"

***** Totally awesome... 
Reviewer: D. Cely 
I just don't know what else to say....the moment I got home I just had to tear open the wrapper on "The Journey" and do something I haven't done since I "burned out" on music many years ago... I put on the music and enjoyed it to the depths of my soul. What bliss! 
Thank you, Jayne. I love your music. 
And thanks to you, I love music again. 

***** I am soooooo excited!
Reviewer: K.S. Kent 
I LOVE The Journey CD... I can't stop singing the songs!!!!!!!! "Whatever Makes Your Soul Sing" brought tears to my eyes..... This CD has so much to offer and your talent leaves me in AWE. One minute I'm listening to "Love Big" and groovin' in my car and then the romantic, "Tonight" comes on changing the mood, and then I'm teary eyed and inspired by "Whatever Makes Your Soul Sing", then I'm back to groovin with "Sweet 'Lijah". 
It truly is a Journey (so well named). You may just be the key to me finding what makes my soul sing :-)  

*****If you haven't heard this yet, you are missing out on an amazing CD.
Reviewer: Joe Riekert
From songwriter to musician, to arranger and producer, Jayne does it all - and the result is excellent! It's a shame that you can't go back in time to last week and order it so that the CD would be in your mailbox today. I would write more, but I have to go and listen to it again.


***** WOW!
Reviewer: Catie Smith
Ever had one of those WOW moments? I did the first time I heard this cd! I can't seem to turn it off..gets under your skin and stays there! This cd is true artistry through and through!


***** Fantastic
Reviewer: Sherry Ringo
Wonderful! Finally music from artists I can relate to that bring their life experience and talent to the table!!


***** Jayne gives good car....
Reviewer: Mike Thigpen
If drive time played stuff this good everyday I'd move further from my job....


**** Unique and refreshing, a journey for the soul
Reviewer: Cathy Sinnott
The spirit of this CD carries you on a gentle journey, its soul provides pure inspiration. It is really fine music!


***** Finally, something new that touches my heart and makes me move!
Reviewer: Candace McGovern
Lyrics that will take you back to secret moments and places in your life... unstated plans, precious memories. Melody and rhythms that pull you into your future... an album about becoming whole.


***** LOVE IT. Song arrangements, talent, production, it's a 10!!!
Reviewer: Don Monopoli
Need I say more? What planet are these singers from? I'd give my right antenna to be half as talented. The producer (Jayne) should be nominated for a Super-Grammy!( A new category for something more than the usual.)


***** Loved it!
Reviewer: Joey Melotti
Very happy to hear some fresh, honest material. It comes from the heart. Thank you Jayne.

***** I've been listening to your CDs all week...

Reviewer: Joanie from St Louis
I like "Better Let it Go," best. The funky groove is addictive. All of the songs on (the CD) "Love Big" are beautiful and sound like they were inspired from Above.
"Love Big" is my favorite (song); lyrically and musically it moves me. I also like "Tonight" (from The Journey CD). The vocalists singing your songs are wonderful, however, I think your voice is unique... your songs are poignant and express a lifetime of living, loving, learning and wisdom that only seems to come with time.
I am impressed with the quality of the work as well. Your journey is a beautiful work of art. You have a gift. Thanks for sharing it...
One last note or humor... my 13 year old daughter Julie just discovered the song "Love Big" and has been playing it over and over until my 11 year old son lost his cool and they had a big fight over it.
Just know, there is someone out there driving down the highway singing your songs as she goes about her day, many miles away from you. Peace, Joanie

*****LOVE BIG DELIVERS!

Reviewer: John Stringer (of the band JaD)
This CD has top-notch vocalists, songwriting and production! LOVE BIG, the title track, is my personal favorite, but there are several gems for your listening pleasure. I'm a musician, so it is great to find this kind of quality music... especially with such positive messages. After hearing the title track and learning that part of the proceeds for LOVE BIG CD sales goes toward making a difference in the world (via Charity), I had all the motivation necessary to buy a copy. After listening, I couldn't be happier with my purchase!

*****I am IMPRESSED....
Reviewer: W. Boston

For the last 4 to 5 years,... I have stopped buying commercial music (to programmed, overproduced, no talent & no live instrumentation). I am currently listening again (to the disc) and I am IMPRESSED. Thanks for sharing your talent(s). I have truly missed GOOD music like this. Keep me posted on any future projects because this is definitely making my SOUL SING. Thanks again.

**** Inspires the soul....

Reviewer: Amy Moon, Athens, GA.
"Inspires the soul....Jayne's touching lyrics inspire my soul and spirit in a positive light. It is refreshing to hear such melodious comfort. When I need an uplifting inspiration I turn to Jayne's work."
