Aselin Debison - Sweet is the Melody in Concert
Only time will tell whether Canadian Aselin Debison will grow, as predicted, into "the next  Celine Dion." But this PBS concert/documentary shows her developing momentum  toward that goal. She has become a show-biz veteran, though her voice is still  developing. She has been in the spotlight for a third of her life since her impromptu  debut at age 8, singing at a demonstration for miners in Nova Scotia. A film clip  shows her at that event, awesomely cute.She has replaced some of that cuteness with a precocious maturity, a budding  professionalism that has not damaged her freshness and spontaneity. The music in  this very professional production nearly duplicates that onher first CD, but the  visuals are a substantial bonus. She is shown walking on a beach, playing basketball,  harmonizing with her dog on "Over the Rainbow," and mingling with the neighbors  on Cape Breton Island who seem to have made her a kind of icon.--Joe McLellan
