Every Great #1 Hit

Amazon.com
Hard to believe in retrospect, but the Supremes actually gave the Beatles some stiff competition during the '60s. In fact, the gals outsold the Fabs in America for a brief period in 1965. Thus, nearly every one of their best-known hits reached No. 1 on the Billboard charts. You can do a lot worse than this compilation. Nevertheless, since a couple of hits--including the wonderful "My World Is Empty Without You"--didn't quite make the coveted top chart position, you'd be better off with one of the more open-ended collections. In fact, you can't go wrong with Motown's terrific Anthology box set. --Bill Holdship

A Great Gaye Retrospective.......2007-04-11

The great Marvin Gaye has been the subject of many, many retrospectives, as someone with his greatness and talent deserves, and this is one of the best ones released to this date.

His great duets with Tammi Terrell are here ("If I Could Build My Whole World Around You," "You're All I Need To Get By," "Your Precious Love," and "Ain't Nothing Like The Real Thing"),his great 60's songs ("I Heard It Through The Grapevine", "Too Busy Thinking About My Baby,and "How Sweet It Is (To Be Loved By You)," and hias early 70's hits ("Mercy,Mercy Me," "Let's Get It On," and "Trouble Man."

This is a great Marvin Gaye collection.

High Cost, Little Quality.......2007-06-07

This CD is such a disappointment! I sing with a traveling theater group and thought I could practice to this karaoke disc. Not a chance! The quality is poor-synthesized instruments & wrong notes and chords all over the place!Don't even get me started on the sample vocal tracks! I actually discarded this part of the pack as it was painfule to listen to. The vocals are horribly off key. Please, save your money. I know it's exciting to find this wonderful musical in a karaoke version but keep looking. Don't waste your cash on this one!!!

i'm 13, and i need help. (by the way, GO WICKED! luv it.).......2007-05-29

Hey ya'll.
i'm giving this 5 stars because i love wicked a lot (and it's not my top 1, but top 3.so i'm not biased) but i really need to know if the karaoke part is worth buying. i don't care about the instructional singers, just the music. i want to perform this, but plz tell me if it's worth the MUCHO money? thnx!

Don't waste your money.......2007-02-01

My daughter needed the karaoke version to perform one of the songs for a show at her school. This version is absolutely horrible. Neither one of us can even stand (or sit)to listen to this cd. What a terrible waste of good hard earned money. Everyone who has purchased this should receive their money back plus 10% and an apology for being subjected to hearing this. Shame on the people who produced this cd and are making money from it.

"well-sung, theatrical vocals..." What cast did they listen to!?.......2007-01-07

I bought this CD from the local Wal-Mart for a hefty sum. I was a little nervous, as I always am when I purchase something without listening to it first, but figured what the hey, it's Wicked, it CAN'T be bad. I really just wanted an alternate take on some of my favorite songs, since I can't afford to go see the musical in person yet.

I was wrong. I was very, very wrong. I realized I wasn't going to be getting the same level of performance as in the OCR release. But, after reading the reviews when I got home, I opened it. I popped it into my CD player, and my ears were immediately assaulted by their Gahlinda's warbling. Yes, Gah-linda. No other name fits so well. It's plain the group assembled to sing was trying, in part, to emulate the original cast's performance, and sadly, they failed miserably. Gah-linda's voice was off pitch and screetchy, frequently. Thinking perhaps I was merely comparing her unfairly to other performers, I played it for a friend, who all but begged me to turn it off. It was plain to us both that she was trying to sing far above her natural range. The other cast members, save their Fiyero, were decent. Their Elphaba was amateur good, and their Nessarose was surprisingly talented for the few moments time she got.

On to the music itself.

I have a reasonably high quality speaker system, yet the background music sounded like a midi file someone had made of the real music. Like something out of an old 16 bit game, or perhaps a talented teen trying to coax music out of an old keyboard. Thinking perhaps it WAS the sound system, I tried it in another media player. Same sound. Realizing that perhaps the guide CD might have simplified music apart from the karaoke CD itself, I swiftly switched to CD2. But wait. There was no CD2, because I had recieved two copies of CD1.

This was the final insult, for me. I contacted Stage-Stars and asked for my money back, explaining the variety of reasons I thought I deserved it. The woman I spoke with was polite and understanding, and, after getting my address, overnighted me a new copy of the title, shrink wrapped. It went immediately back to the store, and I got my money back.

On another note, on hearing the samples given on various sites of the CD2 music, I must conclude that it is the same quality on both CDs. In all honesty, you'd have more fun just setting the money on fire. Don't waste it on this purchase.

I could play it better myself on a kazoo.......2006-12-13

I bought this karaoke cd because I was told it was the only one available for the musical and even though I had heard it was bad I figured it couldn't be all THAT bad. I was wrong. It's so bad that it hurts the ears of anyone with an ear for music and can throw off even the best trained singer - even when watching the cd+g graphics. I don't know what solution to offer instead since it's the only karaoke track that I know of... but you may be better off just going without.

The picture.......2006-12-11

I haven't purchased the CD but the picture of the inside of a church on the cover is not of a British church, like one would assume since it says its a recording of British choirs. This picture is of Notre Dame Basilica in Montreal, Quebec, Canada. Just thought i'd let you know. I'll be honest; I'm one to judge things by it's cover and if the company took such care to choose a 'British' church for their British choir CD, I'm willing to bet the music is equally well selected... I'm being sarcastic. But I gave the product 5 stars because I didn't want to hurt its ratings just because i'm cynical. But check out the church if you're ever in Montreal, it's truly beautiful... here I'm not being sarcastic.

A collection of good songs, but not perfect........1999-08-30

The Supremes produced some great music in the 60's, and this is a good collection of it, even if it lacks some of their songs. Definitely deserves a solid four stars.

Not A Good Compilation.......1999-08-22

There are a number of far superior compilations for them, including Anthology and Ultimate Collection. This is simply not worth your time or money.

Great, but-------.......1999-03-01

If you're looking for nostalgia, don't buy this album. Go for the "Ultimate Collection" by Diana Ross and the Supremes. The latter album has all the songs that this one does plus many more! If I had been more aware of this, I would not have bothered with this one!

This compilation includes 15 of Marvin Gaye's signature songs, including 9 No. 1 soul-chart hits. It's a handy compression of his Motown career, but those who want a deeper understanding of the artist should opt at the very least for the packed double-disc Best of Marvin Gaye. --Rickey Wright

Marvin, the man and his music. Simply put, the best R&B singer ever... Listen and feel the magic of every album, every song, it's pure genius.

THE GREATEST.......1999-12-16

I CAN STILL FEEL THE PAIN FROM THE DAY I THOUGHT SOMONE PLAYED THE WORST APRIL FOOL'S JOKE EVER. THE DAY MARVIN DIED WAS THE DAY THE WORLD LOST THE GREATEST ARTIST THAT EVER LIVED. FORTUNATELY WE CAN STILL KEEP HIM ALIVE IN OUR HEARTS AND MEMORIES BY LISTENING TO HIS WONDERFUL MUSIC. LISTENING TO THE LYRICS HELPS YOU TO IDENTIFY WITH MARVIN'S EMOTIONS AND THE TYPE OF PERSON HE WAS. HIS MUSIC LIVES ON AND IS STILL THE BEST I'VE EVER HEARD. BUY THIS ALBUM OR ANY OF MARVIN'S MUSIC AND GET TO LOVE AND KNOW HIM AS THE INCOMPARABLE MAN HE WAS AND STILL IS.

let's get it on..........1999-08-24

It's wierd that I would like a cd like this... I'm more into bands like Smashing Pumpkins and Portishead, but Marvin really calls to me... I love it, buy it even if you don't think you like Marvin Gaye, because I bet you will anyway.

Marvin at his best.......1999-08-05

This album is perfect for all you Marvin Gaye fans. Some of the songs that I've never heard before I'm now humming the words to. I wish "I Want You" was on this album, but other than it it's spectacular!

this is a great song, i would definitely buy it........1999-02-06

Customer Reviews:

Being Observed- "that's just how I feel, Mom!".......2007-01-10

Our daughter is a 4th year teacher who puts her whole heart into teaching, but dreads being observed. The song on this CD made her cry because it expressed just how she feels- observers tell her she is a remarkable teacher, but she is sure they will say she's no good!
We knew she would like this CD as she raved over the first one.

YOU DON'T HAVE TO BE A TEACHER.......2006-02-19

You don't have to be a teacher to enjoy this album. We all have classroom memories that will be stirred by the selections. We have teachers than have inspired us; we perhaps have even known our own "Bill, the janitor." The vocal quality is superb; the sound quality is excellent. This is probably the best gift you could give to a teacher, or to anyone who loves kids. If you buy one as a gift for your favorite teacher, just make sure you have one to keep for yourself.

Judy has done it again!! She has taken those experiences common to all teachers and made them enjoyable and humorous in her songs....If you need a laugh and a little stress relief....just pop in her CD...instant P.D.for the teacher in all of us!!!

A HILARIOUS WINNER!.......2005-12-08

As a fellow educator, TEACHER OF THE YEAR makes me take a more objective--and humorous--view of myself and my vocation. Judy is able to take the joys, sorrows, and frustrations of teaching and set them in such a light that you remember why you went into education in the first place. TEACHER OF THE YEAR is a motivator and a hilarious winner!

And the true songs about teaching just keep coming!.......2005-12-01

"Teacher Therapy" was a great album, so how could Mrs. Bowen top or equal it? By coming up with a whole batch of new songs that continue to be the best discription of what being a teacher is all about, that's how! If you are a teacher, this is the newest and most delightfully funny, honest, and genuine view of classroom teaching you could possibly find. And if you know a teacher and are searching for a gift that will be most appreciated, this is it.

La Cage aux Folles.......2005-08-10

I am hosting a musical La Cage aux Folles night where my guests are invited to perform a song. This karaoke CD is perfect for my purpose - ten great songs followed by the same ten in music only.

The BEST of Karaoke Times!!.......2005-02-26

This is without a doubt the best karaoke version of a Broadway show I've ever heard!

I've purchased or listened to dozens of these types of CDs. The background tracks only versions are not interesting. My friends and I enjoy the Stage Stars recordings because their selections are more complete and the actors they use (while sometimes uneven) are terrific. And this is absolutely the best cast of actors and best choral work on any karaoke CD I've heard. The chorus sounds full and rich and the harmonies are GREAT. The tempos are perfect - just like the original cast, so very easy to sing along with. And the orchestrations are very good, if still a little too synthesized and overpowering. The leads are all wonderful! In particular, I'm a big fan of Miles Phillips. His solos as Georges are literally BETTER than either Broadway production and better than any recording I've ever heard (and I've heard em all)! It's worth buying this CD just to hear him sing Song On The Sand and Look Over There. The entire CD is worth just sitting back and listening to for pleasure. The fact that you get a second set of tracks to sing/rehearse/entertain with is almost a bonus! Great job, Stage Stars! Keep the quality coming!!

Customer Reviews:

Champagne Music!.......2006-07-09

Thank goodness that these well filled CDs of selections from three of Offenbach's most entertaining and tuneful operettas are available. Exactly the thing to provide some hearty nourishment for Winter nights. Ideal also for a Summer barbecue. In both cases, a glass of champagne, or at least some other bubbly beverage, would be good to have at hand - everything here no doubt will call for a toast or several.

It is so nice to be able to hear in these translations the witty words, sung with welcome clarity and meaning by these admirable artists. As I recall, there were no microphones in sight, and perhaps not even used, when this production of Orpheus In The Underworld was brought to Australia, with a few cast changes but the same sparkle as shown here. Crisp diction and lively, often lovely, singing - a great recipe for enjoyable listening indeed.

The recording sounds a bit shrill here and there, but what a churlish quibble; to Hades with such curmudgeonly qualifications! This is music to raise the spirits, and not just those from Hades.

Customer Reviews:

at last I was able to find a Liverpool Express album.......2006-04-19

Since the first time that I'd listened the song "you are my love" and " don't stop the music" I started a search for an album from this group. I was no lucky for a long time. Thank to the Web I was able to get into its official page and buy this greatest hits album.
The album has got very good songs (including the two main previously mentioned), but to my taste it's rather a little soft, let's say I wanted for more diversity of sounds like E.L.O. or Supertramp.
Anyway, I think it's an album that well worth the money you invest in it.
