Customer Reviews:

5 out of 5 stars Fabulous for any Broadway-lover.......2007-01-30

Packs into 5 CD's a sampling of Broadway tunes from the 20's thru (almost) today, mostly from original cast recordings. Includes not just well-known hits, but also some lesser-known gems. Sound quality is first rate, booklet is informative too. Have given this as a gift to several friends with rave reviews.

5 out of 5 stars Top Shelf.......2007-01-04

This is THE definitive collection of Broadway hits. I have other collections, and none of them measure up. A great deal of care was obviously taken in compiling and presenting this box set. It covers a lot of ground, starting with some long-forgotten but still very enjoyable hits from the days of yore, and finishing with present-day favorites. To the best of my knowledge, the recordings are by those who made them famous. You won't be disappointed.

5 out of 5 stars TERRIFIC CD'S.......2006-03-23

THESE BROADWAY MUSICALS CD'S ARE A BROADWAY LOVERS DREAM. WITH EACH SONG, MEMORIES COME FLOODING BACK. BOTH THE FAMILIAR AND THE FORGOTTEN SONGS ARE A TRUE LISTENING PLEASURE. IF YOU LIKE BROADWAY, YOU'LL LOVE THIS SET.

5 out of 5 stars Great Collection of Broadways greatest Songs .......2005-06-14

This Collection was perfectly made it has almost all the most famous Broadway songs on this 5 cd set. The Music is great and has Broadways greatest treasures like "Memory""People""With One Look""Give my regards Too Broadway" just to name a few of this numerous cd set with over 100 songs. This is a great buy if you like musicals or The music of Broadway

5 out of 5 stars Great Compilation!.......2005-01-17

If you are a fan of the Broadway Musicals, this is a collection that you should purchase. Since I got the 5 disc set I've enjoyed listening to it. The majority of the songs are done by the original singers. The collection is priceless considering that you will have over 100 songs from popular musicals since the beginning of Broadway

Of course, we couldn't expect time to freeze its relentless path and forever preserve the Welsh sensation Charlotte Church in a chrysalis of precocious youth. And yet, at 15 and now taking bolder steps into expanding her repertory on Enchantment, the soprano remains a marvel of a prodigy. Here, she scours a wider range of sources than on her previous albums. Church moves with breathtaking ease from classic Broadway (West Side Story, Show Boat, South Pacific) to traditional Celtic, film ballads, and even a couple of high-operatic numbers. Church's straightforward approach to the melody of "La Habanera" may not exactly be what Bizet had in mind for his Carmen, but fans will get double pleasure out of the singer's exquisite duet with herself on the haunting "Flower Duet" from Delibes's Lakmé. What's more, there's a greater freedom of expression and sense of how to shape a phrase in many of these tracks--notice how much there is to savor, for instance, in "The Water Is Wide" and "Carrickfergus." It all adds up to a widely varied course, demonstrating the continued growth of a singularly gifted young artist. --Sarah Chin

1 out of 5 stars Bleck!.......2007-05-30

Charlotte has a producing voice, not quite mature, but it's bearable. I don't really appreciate opera unless your name is Sarah Brightman, Hayley Westenra or Holly Stell. Carrickfergus and Somewhere are decent for her voice, but "The Prayer" and "The Water is Wide" is very damaging to my ears due to the fact, her Italian sucks, her range is not wide enough in "Water".

4 out of 5 stars Voice of an Angel!!.......2007-02-05

I enjoy listening to this cd by Charlotte Church! She has such a lovely voice. I especially love listening to Habañera and The Flower Duet as both are sung beautifully by Ms. Church!!

5 out of 5 stars fun cd.......2006-12-29

I love this cd and have had it quite a while. I was just enjoying it again today and thought I'd write a review because I do enjoy it so much. It's just a fun, enjoyable album. Pretty orchestration, a lovely voice, nice to sing along with. Especially at the top of my lungs in the car (alone when no one can hear me!)
I really don't know why one would NOT enjoy this cd.

3 out of 5 stars Good? Yes. Great? No. Over-rated? HECK YES!.......2006-12-15

I bought this CD when I was still in high school, singing soprano I & II in choir. It's not bad but she does much better than even some older kids attempting soprano. I think due to the popularity she gained this poor girl has endured much harsh criticism. True, we can't cut her slack JUST because she is a little girl but on the other hand for someone to sing opera at that age her work IS superb. Whether she's a prodigy or victim of over-ambitious parents & media, she deserves credit where it's due. At least she DID break out as some-what of a mainstream artist & exposed this type of music to those who stereotyped it as fat ladies w/powder-white make-up belting out notes that would shatter glass. Some say the same for Josh Groban who broke into the scene as a mainstream tenor/baritone vocalist. As far as skills & talent, he not the greatest either but many people adore his music. The same credit should go to Charlotte Church.

As far as feedback on the quality...
It's VERY hard to believe the deliverance of her performance. A 15-year-old (even younger on her debut cd) singing songs about love & being able to see the world seems silly. Cracking voice? Yeah, you can really tell she had a difficult time hitting the high note in The Laughing Song because it got all air-y. Honestly, some trained sopranos over-shoot their high notes too & get extremely SHARP so I didn't mind her air-i-ness. I think she did a great job on The Flower Duet though. It still has the same relaxing quality as some other versions I've heard from various movie soundtracks. But compare this to the likes of professionals - real professionals - she's merely tolerable. Try Sarah Brightman if you want to listen to some nice musical sopranos. She even has some pretty remakes of modern songs.

4 out of 5 stars Enchantment Indeed!.......2006-08-20

This CD is simply amazing! However, I am sick and tired of people pressuring her to be someone that she's not! Trying to fit into today's popular music scene, Charlotte has turned to pop, and her career isn't flying well because of it! Her voice is simply amazing for opera, and I will not hear another insulting word about her!

Anyways, the CD is genius! Tonight from "West Side Story" is beautifully sung. Carrickfergus, Habanera, and Bali Ha'i are sung with a hypnotizing beauty. Papa, Can you Hear Me and The Flower Duet are amazing as well!

However, on The Flower Duet, Church's vocals seem strained a bit. The Little Horses is a decent piece, a remake of the standard English folk song. I prefer it straight instead of a varied beat, so that Church's voice could soar on and on.

From my First Moment is a fairly nice song, but The Water is Wide is simply amazing! Her vocals are soaring and mezmerizing!

Can't Help Lovin' Dat Man is NOT the song for her, because she puts a weird accent on the song, like she's trying to sound like a hoodlum! The Laughing Song is something that SHOULD NOT be tried by children, because the vocals are so strained! If I Loved You is a simple yet wonderful piece!

A Bit of Earth and Somewhere are both beautiful pieces, with excellent work from the orchestra.

Overall, this CD is very beautiful! BUY IT!

Named after the thriving rap subgenre he popularized, Lil' Jon's Crunk Juice makes no claims to be anything but XXX-rated, hip-hop mosh pit music. Three 6 Mafia's crunked-out compositions may predate Lil' Jon's, but Jon's unique production methods continue to dazzle on cuts like "What U Gon' Do," where protégé Lil Scrappy's vocals create jarring audio effects. The trademark futuristic blend of Miami bass, Jamaican dub, electronica, and punk--littered with call-and-response chants--is in full force on "Crunk Juice," "Get Crunk," and "Da Blow." More impressively, he's broadened his crunk palette to include a brilliant rocked-out Rick Rubin collaboration, along with more conventional R&B tunes featuring Usher and R. Kelly--he even looks to D.C.-style go-go beats for inspiration on "Aww Skeet Skeet." The vulgar yet hilarious Chris Rock comedy cameos help make this album a winner, even if it's intentionally zany and lyrically vacuous. --Dalton Higgins

2 out of 5 stars It is what it is! Club music!.......2007-06-02

Does anyone sell singles anymore? This is not a play all the way through type of CD. But neither are many of the "Greats" as the most harshest critics of this bunch have listed! I do think a 'Hits' CD would be better in their case, because it is sad to have to buy a whole CD to listen to a few good songs. It's even sadder though to see people who know they don't have any interest in a group or music genre, write a review out of sheer need to criticize and bash other people's musical choice. Go somewhere and voice an opinion where it matters on something more rediculous than music that you DON'T have to listen to, such as kids passing every class but can't graduate because of TAKS tests, or pitiful health care, or the war or something!

1 out of 5 stars What the hell is this?.......2007-05-31

How on Earth did this ever get accepted as music? Just a bunch of idiots incoherently screaming over some stupid beat. I can't bear to image how bad the next music fad will be.

1 out of 5 stars A Perspective Of An Expert Butcherer.......2007-03-17

Lil Jon is one of the many reasons why rap is given a negative image. Let me give you a list and explain why I loathe this talentless, shameful act and his disgrace towards society:

1. Voice - Just how can that guy's senseless yelling be tolerated? All this guy does is yell. He doesn't even rap. It's just thoughtless, obnoxious "YAY-YAH" over and over (along with some other stuff). I bet his music couldn't even be considered rap if it weren't for all those guest musicians.

2. Plagiarism - The name "Lil Jon" originated from the Robin Hood tale. It may have a slightly different spelling, but it's just bad enough that he could disgrace history like that. He also uses samples from copyrighted songs and completely butchers the purpose and meaning of that song. I mean, is mixing Slayer's "Raining Blood" intro and Lil Jon's abysmal bellowing necessary? Not at all.

3. "Crunk" - This is also meant to be a plagiarism issue as well, as Dirty South rappers were the first one to coin that phrase. However, Lil Jon wants to take all the credit by taking the word and overusing it over and over so that he seems to be the inventor of that word. Sorry, Jon Smith, but you do not possess credit for creating that word. You just made it into a derivative word that people say, yet they probably have no clue what it means (it means to get drunk and baked).

4. Image - Golden grills make you look like some person who cares less about his dental hygeine. Do you ever remove your sunglasses? And your crunk juice is just a marketing scam.

By all means, avoid this annoying, meaningless, plagiarized trash. Rap isn't (mostly wasn't) just like that way, but thanks to your plague, you have given a once tolerable music genre a bad name.

1 out of 5 stars Punk Juice.......2007-03-05

I only liked two songs of this album Real N***a Roll Call(because of Ice Cube) and Grand Finale(T.I., Bun B, Jadakiss' verses were hot but Ice Cube steals the show). Lovers and Friends might have been a great song for the ladies until Lil Jon decided it was a good idea to rap and ruined the old Michael Sterling classic. More Disposables: Da Blow(chopped and screwed up garbage), One Night Stand, Stick That Thing Out(the second worst track on here), Stop F*****g Wit Me(the worst track one here and Lil Jon gets to annoy metalheads with his bad rapping on this rock/rap infusion. Big Plus!), Awww Skeet(What the.....?) and the rest of this album. Bottom Line: Lil Jon is the worst thing to come out of ATL since..........Jermaine Dupri! Dude couldnt flow to save his pathetic life and the guest appearances are just as bad plus his beats are too redundant now. Besides those two songs that I liked this album should be avoided like a Jehovah's Witness passing out watchtowers.

its a great cds to get you pumped up and blast out the car or work out to, anyone buying it expecting great lyrical talent is retarded

Placido Domingo's blazing tenor enriches these traditional Broadway show stoppers, supported by mammoth orchestrations in perfect balance and enhanced by his trademark musicianship and intelligence. In "All I Ask Of You," he excitingly explodes like a bursting water balloon. His duet with Carly Simon ("Last Night of the World") works in an intergalactic way--music makers from separate planets can successfully collaborate. In "Send In the Clowns," we are reminded of the tune's prettiness; while others find a poignantly delicate moment, Domingo's personal revelation is the size of Mt. Olympus. And why not? He is a god of song. An exception is made for "Our Love is Here to Stay," winner of the most-likely-to-appear-in-an-elevator award. Overall, a dazzling music experience. --Barbara Eisner Bayer

4 out of 5 stars Generally, a pleasant surprise.......2003-01-19

This is a compilation of lovely Broadway songs, beautifully sung. I liked most of the selections in every way--singing, orchestration, etc. I found the piece from "Miss Saigon" ("The Last Night in the World"), with a moving duet with Domingo and Carly Simon, to be astonishingly beautiful. I was surprised that these two could collaborate so well reminiscent of Mary Martin and Ezio Pinza), I have enjoyed repetitive listening of this track. The only downer, in my view, was "Over There." Sad to say, Placido does not do justice to George M. Cohan. For reasons I don't completely understand, he substitutes "The boys are coming" for the very triumphant "The Yanks are coming" line, which is the heart of the song. Toss this ridiculous mistake out, maybe a fifth star.

4 out of 5 stars Very pretty!.......2001-01-14

I found this one in my library system and checked it out because of "So In Love" -- and quickly fell in love with the rest of it! There are classically trained opera singers who cannot pull off singing Broadway, but Domingo is not one of them. Granted, the idea of hearing "Oh, What A Beautiful Mornin'" sung with an Italian accent seems a little strange, since everyone knows that a cowboy is supposed to be singing it, but I think Domingo's accent adds to the charm of the songs.

I only gave this album four stars because I didn't care for the arrangements of the songs from "West Side Story" and also because the combination of Domingo and Carly Simon seemed mismatched. The duet with Rebecca Luker, however, in "All I Ask Of You," is what I would consider the highlight of the CD. Their voices blend so well and they have the same classic style. Ted Huffman's boy soprano adds a lot to "Try To Remember," enhancing the soaring prettiness of the melody. The arrangement of "Send In The Clowns" is a masterpiece, while Domingo sings it with convincing sadness. Also his portrayal of "Our Love Is Here To Stay" has the gentle simplicity that I believe the Gershwins meant for it.

As for the rest of the songs, they are just plain GOOD! All in all this is a very enjoyable recording and it goes to the top of my wish list.

1 out of 5 stars You'll be disappointed.......2006-09-02

Not the original artists. Very weak versions of beloved songs by marginal to downright bad vocalists.

5 out of 5 stars Pretty good musical mix.......2006-03-10

Lots of great and clear vocals. I was looking for a musical mix and this has a nice sampling of many major songs but also some more recent stuff. I haven't purchased an import before but I would do it again if the opportunity presented itself. It is somewhat annoying to have three cds when I think it could have fit onto two. Still, more than I have complaints, I have compliments about it.

The world according to Atlanta-based DJ Lil Jon and his merry band of Eastside Boyz is one of sexually charged dance floors, masculine aggression, and 'nuff bass frequency. Bringing more heat than the cover's burning Confederate flag, the rowdy repetition and call and response on Lil Jon's Put Yo Hood Up are simple yet contagious. Like most southern DJs, Jon isn't much for rapping, but there are plenty of guests to handle mic duty: Too $hort, Ludacris, Kilo Ali, Goodie Mob's Khujo, Three 6 Mafia, and, interestingly, Brooklyn's own M.O.P. What Jon and the boyz do know are bounce-driven catchphrases--"Who U Wit," "Where Dem Girls At," "Bounce Dat" ("Bounce to the beat while you touch your feet!")--that would wear out most aerobics instructors. But with stripper anthems like "Nasty Girl" and "Live at the Blue Flame," the boyz are fixin' to work up a sweat in a whole new way. --'EL Juba

5 out of 5 stars Better when you are wasted.......2006-12-16

this music is terrible if you're in a sober state of mind but once you start drinking its great party music. lil jon and the eastside boys are kinda of like a drunken male cheer leading squad

1 out of 5 stars You eatin off hip hop and I hope you choke onthe gimmick!!!!!!!!.......2006-07-25

When are we gonna start boycotting this bubble gum pop bull S%%T! Lil john is one of the worst emtertainers on this earth. His flow is rough and terrible and he wastes beats on a regular basis. I guess all of the zombies and sheep won't appreciate me dissing this retarded muppet but someone has to stand up and say something. This album is a just like a vicious string of herpes infecting the youth of many nations. We need some hip hop penicillin like KRS ONE, Mos Def, and kweli

5 out of 5 stars Great Album.......2005-10-28

This album is a great start for BME Enterprises/TVT Records. Like all Lil Jon & the East Side Boyz albums, this one is filled with many guest appearances. Khujo of the Goodie Mob, Bo Hagon, Ludacris, Too $hort (underrated), Chyna Whyte, Big Kap, Quint Black & the Nation Riders, Three 6 Mafia, YoungBloodZ, Gangsta Boo, Don Yute, M.O.P., 8-Ball, MJG, Oobie, Sky, Kilo Ali, & Jazze Pha. This means a good album.
Here's a track by track run-down.

1)Yall Ain't Ready (intro) - (n/a) - Nothin too special.

2)Uhh Ohh (featuring Khujo of the Goodie Mob & Bo Hagon) - (10/10) - Good track to start off the album. It has a good beat and hook by Bo Hagon. Everyone drops good verses and I'm not dissapointed.

3)Put Yo Hood Up - (9/10) - Everyone's heard it. It's got a great beat and hook. The only problem is there's no rapping on this song.

4)Bia Bia - (11/10) - 2nd straight single in a row. The beat is great and the hook gets your adrenaline pumpin. Ludacris, Chyna Whyte, & $hort Dogg (Too $hort) drop great verses on the Lil Jon beat. It's perfect.

5)Bia Bia Check-In (skit) - (n/a) - Boring.

6)Who U Wit - (6/10) - Dumb song with an actual dumb Lil Jon beat.

7)Let My N**ts Go (featuring Too $hort, Quint Black, & the Nation Riders) - (10/10) - Great song with a laid back beat. Too $hort, Quint Black, & the Nation Riders drop great verses to go along with the hook. Lil Jon has a more upbeat verse that makes the song that much better.

8)Move B***h (featuring Three 6 Mafia, Gangsta Boo, YoungBloodZ, Chyna Whyte, & Don Yute) - (10/10) - Everyone drops amazing verses to go along with the great part of Lil Jon's hook. You already know it's gonna be good with these guests.

9)Heads Off (My N****s)(featuring M.O.P.) - (12/10) - The Best track on the album. The intro is one of the best I've heard and gets you pumped up for the rest of the song. M.O.P. drops great verses on a great beat. I can listen to this song over & over & over...

10)Sexlude (skit) - (n/a) - Pretty funny.

11)Can't Stop Pimpin (featuring 8-Ball, MJG, & Oobie) - (10/10) - At first, I didn't like this song and I don't know why. Now, I love it. 8-Ball & MJG drop good verses and a great hook and singing by Oobie (surprise). Listen to it again if you don't like it at first.

12)Bounce Dat (featuring Chyna Whyte) - (8/10) - Nothin too special. The beat is good but it can get very boring.

13)Nothin's Free (featuring Oobie) - (8/10) - Okay song but it just seems worse when Lil Jon puts it on Kings of Crunk as well as Put Yo Hood Up.

14)Searcylude (skit) - (n/a) - Dumb. Pointless.

15)Where Dem Girlz At (featuring Sky) - (9/10) - This song has a good beat that's similar to the one of Uhh Ohh (track #2). The hook is good and I like it.

16)I Like Dem Girlz (featuring Jazze Pha) - (8/10) - The best part about this song is that you can follow along with Lil Jon's verses and hear what he likes about dem girlz. Jazze Pha doesn't add much to the track.

17)Nasty Girl (featuring Oobie) - (7/10) - Probably one of the worst song on the album. It gets really boring after the first listen.

18)DJ Hershey Live At The Blue Flamelude (skit) - (n/a) - OK skit.

19)Go Shawty Go (featuring Kilo Ali) - (9/10) - The beat is good and you can follow along with the hook. It's a solid track.

20)Outro Chynalude (featuring Chyna Whyte) - (8/10) - It's a skit turned into a normal song. Chyna Whyte drops some of her best rhymes but it's only 2:23 long.

21)Bia Bia 2 (featuring Too $hort & Chyna Whyte) - (10/10) - It's got the same beat as the first one. In fact, it's pretty much the same song. The only difference is Ludacris isn't featured and doesn't have a verse, there isn't an intro like the first one did, & Too $hort, Lil Jon, & Chyna Whyte have different verses. It's still a great track.

Top 10 (not in order):

1)Heads Off (My N****s)
2)Bia Bia
3)Move B***h
4)Let My N**s Go
5)Bia Bia 2
6)Put Yo Hood Up
7)Can't Stop Pimpin
8)Uhh Ohh
9)Where Dem Girlz At
10)I Like Dem Girlz

And thats my review.


2 out of 5 stars Not meant to be taken serious.......2005-10-02

This album is like a double edge sword. You really can't take anything lil john does serious. This album is just meant for one dimesional people who's life is to party. The beats is what makes people cop it. So if your lookin at it from that point of view, then this a great album. But if your like me and your lookin for true mc's who can actually spit bars then you gon' hate everything this guy puts out. I gotta give props to the south cause they know how to party, but the south is the reason why people who don't listen to hip hop say it's stupid and sounds the same. The mainstream stained hip hop's reputation forever.

5 out of 5 stars Difford looks back without becoming maudlin........2006-09-28

If you're reading this, you likely already know Chris Difford was the lyric-writing half of the Difford and Tilbrook partnership that was Squeeze. This collection is Difford's take on the Squeeze catalog, including some hits and some obscurities. His unique vocal style (best remembered from "Cool for Cats") is bolstered by harmonies from a female singer and the other guitarist. Chris and his backing musicians (two, sometimes three acoustic guitars and a pedal steel guitar) perform warm covers of 10 Squeeze songs on the CD. Sometimes the tempo is altered, changing the original mood of the song, but it never sounds "gimmicky."

I also want to point out that this $13.99 domestic release version includes the same DVD as the $40 import release, even though Amazon doesn't list it in the description. The DVD is wonderful, capturing a December 2005 performance of the same band that plays on the CD, and includes live performances of 16 songs:
1. Up The Junction
2. Labelled With Love
3. Cowboys Are My Weakness
4. Slap & Tickle
5. Goodbye Girl
6. Lamas Fayre
7. Another Nail In My Heart
8. Tempted
9. Pulling Mussels (From The Shell)
10. Take Me I'M Yours
11. Hourglass
12. Black Coffee In Bed
13. Cool For Cats
14. Encore: Slaughtered, Gutted & Heartbroken
15. Cool For Cats
16. Take Me I'M Yours

Between songs, Chris tells stories about the songs, or the circumstances during which they were written.

The final overall feel of the CD and DVD is a little bittersweet, as Chris mentions in the liner notes that this is his way of closing a chapter in his life (ending rumors of a Squeeze reunion any time soon), but his obvious affection for the songs comes out in the performance, making this a celebration of the band's history, and definitely not a "greatest hits" package designed to make some quick cash.

    5 out of 5 stars Tenors on Tour - Versatile and Beautiful.......2001-06-20

    Tenors on Tour is a CD which will live forever. The opening songs by Placido Domingo, His arrangement of Blue Moon and Moon River, set the tone for the CD. To hear Richard Tucker do "Climb every Mountain" was a wonderful trip down memory lane. Who will ever forget him? Placido continues with Broadway..Maria from West Side Story and a Beatles song "Yesterday". Mandy Patinkin's "Over the Rainbow" is classic and wonderful! But in my opinion Jose Carreras has the most "goose bumping" production on the entire CD. His Ave (Maria) is so beautifully done it may just bring tears to your eyes. The "King" Pavarotti is the "clean-up Hitter with selections from LaBoheme,and he does "O Sole Mio" as only He can do it. This CD is a treat for anyone who enjoys fine music. You will play it over and over again.
