Reviews of All I Need is the Girl

"Not only does Elaine St. George have a fine voice, she's excellent in every way, unfailingly impressive whether doing dramatic, romantic, or comic material. To celebrate the release of her CD, 'Just Around the Corner,' she is reprising her acclaimed cabaret show. Her rendition of 'Shanghai Lil' is uncommonly trenchant, a medley of 'He Loves and She Loves' and 'Do I Love You?' is affectingly tender, and 'Maria' from 'West Side Story' is impassioned. Plus she's bright, funny and likable." -- Roy Sander, Citysearch.com, June 1998

"Yet another lady well worth catching this week is vocalist Elaine St. George. She's bringing back her extremely entertaining show, 'All I Need is the Girl' to Judy's. The show is a collage of love songs to women from a woman's point of view. But the gay theme is no shallow gimmick. St. George is an inventive vocalist with a spunky, sassy persona and brings fresh, original perspectives to these old standards not just because she's of the same gender, but because she's a clever performer. It's worth going just to hear her knock-'em-dead cover of 'Shanghai Lil.'" -- John Michael Koroly, WRTN/WVOX-FM, June 1998

"I was quite impressed by Elaine St. George, whose show 'All I Need is the Girl,' recently completed a run at Don't Tell Mama...While she confronted her sexual orientation quite directly (vid. the title), you could think of her approach as Lesbian Lite, for she was so good natured and matter of fact about it. She handled all styles -- from dramatic to romantic to comic -- with equal aplomb, and her voice was attractive whether soft or clarion. Her rendition of 'Shanghai Lil' was far more trenchant than I'd previously ever heard -- the sense of loss was palpable....And she did a fine job on Cole Porter's jaw-breaking 'Let's Talk About Love.'" -- Roy Sander, Back Stage, December 1997
