Paula Past and Present

what the critics say

 


“Paula Johns delights local audiences in The Virgin Islands…
Not only does she have a great sense of humor,
she can make you cry as you listen to “P.S. I Love You” or “It Had To Be You”. 
— The Island Trader, Christina Tarantola

 

“Paula brings an “up-to-date” breathe of fresh air to this orchestra
for which she blends beautifully.
— Home News Tribune, William T. Piostrowski

 

“Her voice sports a wider vibrato than I usually like, but her glowing tone,
unaffected projection, lilting phrasing,
clean diction and rhythmic vitality more than compensated
- and, I hasten to add, Johns was never in anything less than
complete control of the vibrato,
and she employed it expressively to communicate
the obvious and not-so obvious meanings of the lyrics.” 
—Chestnut Hill Press, Michael Caruso
