3 out of 5 stars Great Song, not so remix.......2005-01-03

Reviewing this cd-single export for the extras only is not really worth the price if you are not a Madonna collector.

1. Papa don't preach (Extended Version).- Just about a minute longer than the original version, it seems that only added some nre noise and extended the rythm, nothing new.
2.- Ain't no big deal.- Dance song, for collectors only.
3.- Papa don't preach (LP Version).- The same version that in the album, so nothing new.

2 out of 5 stars One of Madonna's worst 80's remixes.......2003-08-10

man, 80's extended remixes really oftentimes slaughtered the original songs. this remix just seems too hollow, if that makes any sense. I guess it's because they removed some of the original instruments from the album version, like the acoustic guitar solo during the instrumental break. all it is is beats. the reason to get this cd is for the non-album track "ain't no big deal"

5 out of 5 stars A Stunning Classic In Every Sense Of The Word.......2003-04-26

Papa Don't Preach was the second single to be released from Madonna's massively successful third album, True Blue. The album went on to sell 20 million copies worldwide and produced Madonna's most mature and enjoyable music to date. Madonna had already proved with Live To Tell (the first single from this third album) that she could make excellent and mature music. She proved this even further when she released Papa Don't Preach. It went straight to No.1 in the UK in June 1986 and spent 14 weeks on the chart. It was also a US No.1, and her first single of five to reach No.1 in both the UK and US.

Papa Don't Preach opens with a superb violin arrangement, before breaking out with a classic beat. The drums are ever present, but the violins add that distressed feeling to the song, which is perfect for what the song's subject is about. Madonna then begins the first verse with, "Papa I know you are going to be upset, 'cos I was always your little girl, but you should know by now, I'm not a baby." The song is about an accidental teenage pregnancy that worries Madonna deeply. She dreads the day that she has to tell her father, who is against her even seeing the man who has got her pregnant. Madonna then sings a fantastic bridge before she moves into the epic chorus with the lyrics, "Papa don't preach, I'm in trouble deep. Papa don't preach, I've been losing sleep, but I made up my mind - I'm keeping my baby, I'm gonna keep my baby!" Madonna then carries on singing her second verse, bridge and chorus, all while under the dramatic influence of the violin. The song then breaks into a glorious solo with just the violin. The song then starts up again with the lyrics, "Daddy, daddy if you could only see, just how good he's been treating me, you'd give us our blessing right now, 'cos we are in love...we are in love!" And from there on, the song continues with the fabulous choruses and Madonna's ever-determined effort to make her father see the positive side that she's pregnant.

The video to Papa Don't Preach is excellent. Madonna dances around in a black room with an awful boob-tube costume on and dreadful bleached hair. In other scenes, she gets to test out her acting skills by hanging with her boyfriend and friends, before going home to tell her father about her situation. The video finally ends with her father giving his approval of her pregnancy. Overall, Papa Don't Preach is a true Madonna classic that deserves all the success it received. Madonna's vocals are on top form as she belts out her emotions to her father - something that would've been unthinkable a year previously.

3 out of 5 stars Good.......2003-04-04

There is an exploration of the existential in Madonna's work now that shows a definitive maturity. I think that the ability that sets Madonna apart the most is not simply being someone who manipulates media well but in truth two things: One, she's not a big fan of TV or indulging in the media, beign a puppet to it in watching it. Two, Marianne Williamson talks about that people who become legends do so because they tap into the concept of what the human consciousness is available to, needing to develop and that rings within all of us. It is that work that interests the rest of us.

3 out of 5 stars Mediocre Remix, Not Worth it.......2003-01-16

I bought this cd for the remix of Papa Don't Preach. The remix wasn't that great. It seemed unprofessional.

5 out of 5 stars Talent does run in the family.......2003-06-14

Little miss Kelly Osbourne released this single last summer . At first , her sister (Aimee Osbourne who chose not to be on the show) was meant to do a cover of Madonna's " Papa Don't Preach" which would be one of the tracks on "The Osbournes" TV show soundtrack . Ofcourse , Aimee didn't want anything to do with the family at all when in public so they chose Kelly to do it . Kelly got some studio time to record "Papa Don't Preach" as the popular band "Incubus" played the instruments . Kelly at first thought it was horrible and thought it wouldn't be a big hit or anything . But the people down at "Epic Records" thought differently . They thought it was really good and the song soon became a smash hit single off the Soundtrack . Soon Kelly went off to record her debut CD "Shut Up!" which was released November 2002 .

Now , this CD single contains the Album version of "Papa Don't Preach" taken off "The Osbournes" Soundtrack . It also includes a Instrumental track (No vocals , only music) , and if you pop it into the computer , you can watch the music video and the "Making Of the Video" feature where they show a documentary of how Kelly made the music video . Overall , I gave this a five on Kelly's talent and the bonus features included in the Cd . Don't wait , buy this now !

5 out of 5 stars SHUT UP REVIEW.......2002-12-11

Kelly osbourne has proven her self again. "Shut up" is a loud edgy kind of style of music that screams fun. The beats were awsome her voice was fantastic but most of all the lyrics were straight to the point. What i loved the most was that she just said it like it was she didn't have to fuss around with the music to make is "pretty" or "innocent." she definitly rocks hard.kelly is a perfect role model for people because she inspires people to be who you are and to speak your mind.Plus she looks cute and modern while kicking butt!she doesn't fit those stereo typs!

4 out of 5 stars Way better than Madonna's version.......2002-09-07

Kelly Osbourne's version of "Papa Don't Preach" is way better than Madonna's original version. Kelly has a stronger voice, and the song is faster-paced, rather than slow and rhythmic. Recommended for those who enjoy today's music.

5 out of 5 stars Thank you Kelly!.......2002-08-13

when you hear Kelly osbourne, you know where she comes from. such talent so young, she's a lucky girl. Her version of "papa don't preach" is full of energy and you just have to listen to it once to feel good for the rest of the day. And it's really nice to have the video and the making of on the cd. Many artists should follow the steps of Kelly. She rocks!

4 out of 5 stars Better Than You'd Think.......2004-07-08

I was expecting the worst when I heard this song. For one thing, Kelly Osbourne is a very easy target when it comes to music careers. You wouldn't be wrong in saying that she only got to make a CD because of who her dad is and her TV show. Also, "Papa Don't Preach" was one of the biggest hits of the '80s and didn't need a remake.

However, I like this song. It puts a different spin on a well-known song and fits Kelly very well. It may not have been as big a hit as the original, but it is very good in its own right. It's worth checking out.

5 out of 5 stars A definite hit!.......2002-09-14

Kelly has breathed life into the Madonna original, making it into a rocky song. It's funky and easy to sing to. Some people say Kelly is cashing in on her father's celebrity status and the tv show, but I reckon she has talent. She can sing, just listen to the track! The video is great and I love dancing to this song! A definite listen, and watch out for more from this girl! She is a positive role model and one of my fave girls. Brilliant stuff!

5 out of 5 stars Fantastic!.......2002-09-05

I haven't ever written a review before, but I really enjoyed this single, and I had to tell everyone not to be prejudiced before you hear this. I really advise people to listen to it and judge for themselves. It's not exactly like Ozzys style, but I can see she has had a positive effect off her dads influence. There is no doubt that this young lady is very talented, and I hope she pursues a music career, because I really am looking forward to hearing hear more of her in the future. The only possible criticism I have for her is that she needs to develop her voice, and get training or something. Also I would like to hear something original, but of the same sort of style of this single. Apart from that I totally applaud her, because I can't stop playing this song. I also have excellent comments for the video she appeared in for Papa Don't Preach. Miss. Osbourne has a very unique and individual style of music and dress sense, and I have to say that she pulls it off quite well. I like the clothes that she chose to wear in the video, and I liked the sixties feel that I was getting from it. Well done, and two thumbs up!

5 out of 5 stars Kelly Osbourne's 'Papa Don't Preach' A Hit!.......2002-08-15

Good on Kelly for doing such a good job with Madonna's classic hit 'Papa Don't Preach'. Kelly does Madonna proud here, she does not steal the song but gives her version of it with a punk/rock feel to it. The song makes you either want to sing along or tap the steering wheel while listening if in the car, it is extremely catchy and the beats are excellent. The song success may also be because of the help Kelly had by Incubus co-producing. The only thing not so good about the single is we only get the main version of 'Papa Don't Preach' and the instrumental/karaoke version. With a single like this we will be hearing from Kelly Osbourne a lot more. Her album will hopefully be out sometime in the near future.

5 out of 5 stars Kelly Isn't Just A One Hit Wonder!.......2002-08-15

Kelly Osbourne the daughter of Ozzy Osbourne has released her debut single a cover of the Madonna hit 'Papa Don't Preach' and she handles it very well. Kelly has a strong distinctive voice that overpowers the music. The song which was co-produced by Incubus is quite different to Madonna's original version it has a more punk/rock feel to it. With a song like this Kelly is bound for big things. She also has an album coming out in the near future.

5 out of 5 stars Awesome Stringed Tribute CD!.......2006-03-16

Very well orchestrated and performed by the Da Capo Chamber Players. Are these guys for hire or what? Amazing! I'm now looking into their other works as well. Highly recommended!

3 out of 5 stars clue ya in.......2004-06-03

1. madonna doesn't write music (she backs this fact up)
2. madonna co-writes songs. ie. she's not the main poet on her albums. she adds stuff to already-written lyrics. did you know "like a virgin" was originally intended for a man to sing? gotta love this pre-fabricated pop!

anyway, she's not a musician, but she is overproduced. she just sings "her" songs and dances along to them at concerts

4 out of 5 stars Madonna and chamber music.......2004-04-24

I knew that the Da Capo Chamber Players released excellent tribute recordings of Björk and Radiohead, I was very curious and excited to hear what they'd do with Madonna's work.
Madonna has used strings in her music since her Like a Virgin album, but this cd explores even more the core of her music, which is quite a test, since people usually assumes she's more a celebrity than a real musician.
Madonna and chamber music? A funny thought, but here she passes the test. Even though one might argue about the choice of songs (it's a shame they selected more of her earlier material), the arrangements are really well written, staying true to the originals, yet revealing her skills as a songwriter and melodist.
One highlight: 'Ray of Light', full of sparkle and energy, just like in the original version.

      This reminds me of their former next-door neighbour Pat Boone and his daughter, Debby, who had her own hit with "You Light Up My Life" 25 years ago. Kelly is now making her debut album and the second season of "The Osbournes" has finally started.
