What fun! This soundtrack of the film adaptation of the Broadway musical overflows with glossy, ol' fashioned '60s-style pep. It won't win any awards for innovation, but it may well be one of the most feel-good releases of the year. While not quite as super-energetic as the original Broadway cast, the new crew ain't too shabby: Nikki Blonsky delivers as Tracy Turnblad and Zac Efron (High School Musical) makes for a devoted boyfriend, and the supporting cast gleefully embraces the show's silly-but-generous spirit. John Travolta (who gets to utter the particularly ironic line "it's been years since someone asked me to dance") goes drag as Tracy's mom, Edna, while Michelle Pfeiffer's slight stiffness is appropriate for her uptight character, especially on the cha-cha "(The Legend of) Miss Baltimore Crabs." After Mama Morton in Chicago, Queen Latifah puts in another brassy turn as Motormouth Maybelle ("Big, Blonde and Beautiful," which is then reprised by Travolta and Pfeiffer). The show's authors, Marc Shaiman and Scott Wittman, have written three new numbers for the movie: the rollicking (and first single) "Ladies' Choice," "New Girl in Town" and "Come So Far." In addition, the CD also includes two tracks that aren't in the film but were in the show: "Cooties," sung by Aimee Allen, and "Mama, I'm a Big Girl Now," sung by all three Tracy Turnblads: Blonsky, Ricki Lake (from the source movie) and Marissa Jaret Winokur (from the original Broadway cast). --Elisabeth Vincentelli

Album Description

The Hairspray soundtrack will feature 17 songs from the film, including three original numbers that were created specifically for the film version of the hit Broadway musical - "Ladies' Choice," "New Girl In Town," and "Come So Far." Also featured on the soundtrack are the songs "Good Morning Baltimore," "Welcome to the `60s," "Nicest Kids In Town," and "You Can't Stop The Beat." The songs are performed by cast members John Travolta, Queen Latifah, Michelle Pfeiffer, Zac Efron, Amanda Bynes, Brittany Snow and Elijah Kelley among others.

The Hairspray soundtrack is produced by Marc Shaiman and features music by Shaiman and lyrics by Scott Wittman and Shaiman. It features tracks mixed by Ed Cherney (Rolling Stones, Bette Midler) and Peter Mokran (Pussycat Dolls, Christina Aguilera).

Sixteen years after the release of the original film, New Line Cinema is bringing a feature film adaptation of the Tony Award-winning Broadway production of Hairspray to life. Featuring new and original material based on John Waters' 1988 cult classic about star-struck teenagers on a local Baltimore dance show, the comedy features a remarkable collection of talent including John Travolta, Queen Latifah, Michelle Pfeiffer, Christopher Walken, Amanda Bynes, Allison Janney, Brittany Snow, Zac Efron, Elijah Kelley, producers Craig Zadan and Neil Meron (Chicago), and director Adam Shankman (Bringing Down The House). The new screenplay for Hairspray was written by Leslie Dixon (Freaky Friday, Outrageous Fortune).

I LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE THIS MUSIC! I HAVE SEEN THE MOVIE 2 TIMES ALREADY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

5 out of 5 stars Fun summer CD!.......2007-07-29

I loved the movie and ordered the CD after leaving the theater. I have listened to it non-stop in the car and even my children love it. The CD is just so upbeat and makes you smile and will have you singing along. I can't wait to go back and see the movie a second time...

5 out of 5 stars You Won't Get It Out of Your Head..........2007-07-29

The move was fantastic, and the soundtrack mirrors this... The vast majority of the songs are upbeat and unbelievably catchy. I've seen many musicals in my day, and I must say that this is the first one that actually made me feel better about myself after taking a look and listen. From the immediate attention grabbing "Good Morning Baltimore" to the undeniably infectious "You Can't Stop the Beat," the soundtrack keeps the energy high and the toes a tappin'. See the movie, and then... well, you'll buy the soundtrack =)

5 out of 5 stars AWESOME, AWESOME, AWESOME!!!!!.......2007-07-29

This is an EXTREMELY fun soundtrack! We just saw the movie tonight, and I was toe-tapping the whole time! I just about got out of my seat and danced in the aisles! I have never been so rocked by a soundtrack before! It was FUN. That is the best word to describe EVERYTHING in this movie. The music, the movie, the acting, everything! I think I'll wear this cd out playing it. :o)

5 out of 5 stars What a Musical!.......2007-07-25

Tweens aren't often heralded for their good judgment and excellent taste (Heelys--hello), but if any young starlet can redeem them, it's Hannah Montana. On this, the second soundtrack from the Disney Channel series, Miley Cyrus takes her cues from her TV alter ego, who has an alter ego of her own: Disc 1 features Miley as Hannah, hair-tossing pop princess by weekend, likable schoolgirl by weekday (see "Old Blue Jeans" and "True Friends" to get a sense of each episode's un-cloying sweetness). But disc 2 is the start of something new, as her friends over on the High School Musical set might say: Miley sings strictly as her spunky, truth-telling self. This yields a number of pepped-up pop tracks bound to vibrate through the walls of pink bedrooms everywhere--"See You Again" is a boy-centric song instantly relatable to anyone who's ever been in seventh grade and suffered a bout of bashfulness, "East Northumberland High" puts a punk spin on an I'm-just-not-into-you tale, and "Clear" bounces on a reggae beat while canceling any doubt about our heroine's ability to stand up for herself. Like Hannah before her, Miley makes the best of both worlds--this well-worth-it set, by turns rockin' and reflective, is a masterful example. --Tammy La Gorce

Customer Reviews:

4 out of 5 stars Hannah Montana Vol. 2/ Meet Miley Cyrus.......2007-07-29

The second CD by Hannah Montana / debut of Miley Cyrus doesn't disappoint, but doesn't live up to the expectations that I had for it; for me because there were just so many songs. The Hannah Montana side is definitely the preferred one, though, although Miley's side can be charming at times.

My track-by-track synopsis:

Disc 1 | Hannah Montana

1.) We Got The Party With Us [8/10]: This song definitely grew on me; I didn't like it at first, because it wasn't as 'rockish', as I would've expected her album opener for me. But it is a good song.

2.) Nobody's Perfect [10/10]: This is one of the album's strongest tracks, in my opinion. It conveys a good message for everyone, and is pleasing to listen to. There are little touches of a violin playing that adds a nice touch to it. The chorus is catchy, and will get you singing along to it all day.

3.) Make Some Noise [10/10]: Cheesy? Yes. But it is inspirational. It's songs like this that kids should listen too, telling them to believe in themselves, instead of the heartbreak, that boy doesn't like me stuff that is heard on the radio 24 /7.

4.) Rockstar [9/10]: It's very catchy. It has an extremely peppy tune that will cheer you up when you're down.
The lyrics are also, I must say, adorable.

5.) Old Blue Jeans [7/10]: The seven is just for the message it says, otherwise this song just doesn't appeal to me at all.

6.) Life's What You Make It [10/10]: This is another one of the strongest tracks. It's the whole deal, good melody, good lyrics, good message, it's basically goodxalot.

7.) One in A Million [10/10]: I personally think this song is beautiful. The melody is simply gorgeous. I usually compare this to If We Were A Movie from her previous soundtrack, so while this isn't nearly as creative as that one (I'm assuming because this one is a cover anyway), I'm glad that this love song turned out beautifully. My personal favorite.

8.) Bigger Than Us [8/10]: They made her voice sound nice and sweet in this one. But, (episode reference), in one of the episodes that I happened to see, it centered around this song, and they made it seem like such a hit, but while the message is pure, it's not that great. Good nonetheless though.

9.) You And Me Together [8/10]: Again, very catchy. Again, good message. But it's nothing extremely special.

10.) True Friend [8/10]: It's undoubtedly a cute song that all 'BFFs' will hear, and it's sweet, but I just don't know what I don't like about this and the previous song. Vocals maybe?

Disc 2 | Miley Cyrus

1.) See You Again [8/10]: The chorus, I love. Otherwise, it's very bland. Not the best way to start her album off.

2.) Eastnorthumberland High [10/10]: This is one of my favorites on her album. It has a ridiculously catchy beat, and it's refreshing, new, for the topic its about.

3.) Let's Dance [9/10]: It's not a bad song at all, but she should leave the 'rapping' to the rappers. It doesn't suit her or the song.

4.) G.N.O-Girl's Night Out [9/10]: Good chorus, good lyrics. It's a good song for when you're just sick of boys and want to go out and have fun.

5. / 7.) Right Here/ Start All Over [5/10]: I just don't like them. Lyrics do matter, and these have the lyrics, but these songs just don't have the 'whole package' with a catchy hook or anything. And while good hooks aren't necessary, when your voice is nothing special, or strong, in that case, they are.

6.) As I Am [8/10]: Pretty song; the guy described is the guy all girls should find.

8.) Clear [8/10]: It's very...tropical; which surprisingly suits the song very, very well, seeing it's about finally seeing how things are going in a relationship, making it 'clear'.

9.) Good and Broken [9/10]: Another one of my favorites, it's a good song.

10.) I Miss You [10/10]: Good way to end the album. The version heard on the show was a lot prettier, but this one is still sweet anyway.

Final thoughts: It's not a bad CD, but I think it would've been better if they were released separately. 20 songs is a lot to listen to in one listening. Otherwise, above solid effort.

Thanks for your time!

5 out of 5 stars My Daughters Love It.......2007-07-26

5 out of 5 stars Awesome CD!.......2007-07-24

Hannah Rocks! Love it, love it, love it. CD came quicker than I thought it would.

5 out of 5 stars great role model; great singer.......2007-07-23

This is a young girl with quite a voice. My daughter (10) and her friends know every song by heart. Personally, I love the GNO (Girls Night Out) song best. Good Rock and Roll beat without heavy metal. Obviously Miley is a CW crossover hit as well.

Sorry gal, this girl's going to be around for a LONNNNGGGGG time. She's got talent and has everything working for her: good backing by Disney, great parents, music and entertainment contacts and simply put her TALENT. For such a young kid, she's amazingly balanced.

Even those allergic to musicals may be won over by Once, a tender-hearted Irish romance with songs by Czech Republic-born Markéta Irglová and Frames frontman Glen Hansard. (The film's director, John Carney, actually used to play bass in the group.) The trick here is that Irglová and Hansard also play the leads; because their characters are shown busking, writing music, or rehearsing, the songs are smoothly integrated in the film. The overall acoustic mood won't surprise fans of the Frames--some tracks ("Say It to Me," "When Your Mind's Made Up") have even popped up on the band's albums, though the arrangements are more pared-down here, befitting the scruffy, street-musician setting. Being the lesser-known entity, Irglová feels like a revelation; she sounds a bit like a folkie Björk on "If You Want Me," and her song "The Hill" is downright heartbreaking. Irglová and Hansard had already made the 2006 album The Swell Seasontogether, so their collaboration here feels really organic--they sound particularly good together on the title track, for instance. Now that's the kind of magic you want from musicals. --Elisabeth Vincentelli

Customer Reviews:

5 out of 5 stars Inseperable from the movie.......2007-07-30

For some reason subsequent listening to the track outside the movie are not as powerful. The film itself and the sountrack together are very moving but without it I'm not sure the sound track is as cohesive. Still, it's faultless, beautiful acoustic soundtrack.

The two scenes from the movie that are still haunting are the songs "If you want me" and "Say it to me now". I would actually suggest getting the DVD for the full experience. Awesome stuff.

5 out of 5 stars Soundstrack of movie "Once".......2007-07-29

If I could give it more stars I would. Went into see this movie that my husband had picked out. He said it was described as an unusual musical. That's all I knew. I loved this movie so much. Couldn't get the tunes out of my head. Went home right after the movie and bought the CD on Amazon. Went to see it again and brought my brother-in-law and his wife to see it. They loved it. I had already bought two CD's (planned on giving them one) even before they had seen the movie. This is one of those inexpensive movies that become an incredible hit. Trust me, go and see it.

5 out of 5 stars Great soundtrack.......2007-07-28

This is a great CD. I saw the movie and like many others ordered the CD. Marketa Irglova has an incredible voice. I highly recommend this CD.

    Although it squarely falls in the "jukebox musical" category, Jersey Boys doesn¹t try to integrate its songs in an artificial plotline. The show tells the story of the early-1960s group the Four Seasons, and the musical numbers tend to be introduced in context, as when songwriter Bob Gaudio comes up with a tune, or the quartet performs a show. This allows Jersey Boys to flow better than some of ill-fated peers, and the actors can shine without having to bend backward to accommodate an inane book. The show's most (only) daring move is to start with a hip-hop-tinged French-language version of "December 1963 (Oh, What a Night)," an actual hit in France in 2000. After that it's all VH1-biopic territory, but it's done with so much flair, taste and energy that the ride's a fun one. The Four Seasons had enough hits ("Sherry," "Big Girls Don't Cry," "Rag Doll," etc.) to easily fill an evening at the theater, so it's left to the cast to do right by them. And it does, particularly John Lloyd Young as the band¹s star lead, Frankie Valli. Young hits all the falsetto notes and brings real freshness to the part. His "Can¹t Take My Eyes Off You," a second-act peak, is signed, sealed and delivered with a star's acumen. --Elisabeth Vincentelli

    Album Description

    Recounting the rich history and reliving the timeless sounds of the phenomenal Frankie Vallie & The 4 Seasons, the new Broadway musical Jersey Boys answers the musical-and philosophical question, "How did four would-be wise guys from Newark, NJ, become one of the greatest chart-topping successes in pop music history?" Jersey Boys celebrates legendary Rock and Roll Hall of Famers Frankie Valli, Bob Gaudio, Tommy DeVito, and Nick Massi who, as the 4 seasons, wrote their own songs, invented their own identity, and sold 175 million records worldwide-all before they were 30.

    This is one of the best CDs I have ever purchased. The cast of Jersey Boys gave an outstanding performance. They were just as good as the original Four Seasons. I relive many happy memories when I listen to this CD.

    This is a great way to re-live the musical. And even if you haven't seen it, it's a great way to be introduced to the songs of Franki Valli and the Four Seasons. Wow! It's amazing all of the songs you recognize that have been re-done over the years. But the originals are always the best. Check it out!

    For its fifth cinematic installment, the Harry Potter franchise gets a new composer as England's Nicholas Hooper (a usual collaborator of new director David Yates) succeeds Patrick Doyle and John Williams. The screeching electric guitar that suddenly irrupts on the very first track, "Fireworks," lets the listener know that all is not quiet on the Hogwarts front. The kiddies are growing up, evil is spreading: which is worse?! But actually this modern sonic touch is deceiving: Hooper works within an old-school format and mostly sticks to tried-and-true effects. His score is best when it goes for tension and unease, particularly in its use of low, rumbling tones: A choir starts by humming in a menacing manner in "Dementors in the Underpass"; the sound at the beginning of "The Death of Sirius" feels as if it's being belched out from some deep, dark, scary place, creating an effective atmosphere of dread. Elsewhere, the beginning of "Possession" feels as if it belongs in a J-horror movie, and then the track becomes deceptively calm before the storm hits again. Keen listeners will recognize Williams' "Hedwig's Theme" in "Another Story," but mostly Hooper is his own man. Just like the overall series, which gets darker and darker as it goes along, this CD makes for a rather brooding listening experience--the pizzicato violins on "Umbridge Spoils a Beautiful Morning" provide one of the few jaunty touches. --Elisabeth Vincentelli

    Album Description

    Featuring a colorful and inspiring score by Nicholas Hooper, the soundtrack to Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix takes the movie-goer to the next level of magical enchantment right along with Harry and his friends.

    5 out of 5 stars Well done.......2007-07-31

    I thought it was fantastic. Hooper intigrated in music from the earlier movies, which were ignored by Doyle (not to say I disliked Doyle's). I felt the music really reflected the chaos and turmoil that surrounds Harry in this movie. The one thing I disliked was that the cd was not set up in a cohesive manner. However there is an easy fix to that, load it on an ipod.

    2 out of 5 stars Horrible.......2007-07-31

    All I can say is this. If the producers want the last two movies to do well, one of the main things they need to do is get a decent composer. Seriously, do absolutely whatever it takes to get John Williams back, or get James Horner, or Howard Shore, or Danny Elfman. Really, anyone that is a serious film score composer and knows how to write for an epic action adventure movie. Stop hiring people whose only credits are writing jingles for stupid TV shows.
    Not related to the score, they need to also get a real director who has had experience with large film budgets. Get Spielberg or Bruckheimer to produce it. And please, please, PLEASE recast Dumbledore. Michael Gambon may be a great gangster, but he is a horrible Dumbledore.

    1 out of 5 stars Disappointing.......2007-07-31

    The soundtrack from the Order of the Phoenix was terribly disappointing. It does not incorporate much of anything from the previous soundtracks, making one wonder if this was, in fact, music from the movie. Not worth the money.

    5 out of 5 stars A must have..........2007-07-30

    This is a must have for any REAL HP fan.....had to have it! Along w/ the other ones available :)

    1 out of 5 stars Poor Music written ignoring the other soundtracks........2007-07-30

    Compared to the other Harry Potter Soundracks, this is just a huge sequence of orchestral chords with some crescendos and diminuendos, but nothing to do with the tradition of music in Harry Potter films. It has no powerful melodies, which were a main characteristic in the previous soundtracks, specially those made by Williams. I say a good melody is the one people can easily remember and even sing, and this soundtrack can be easily forgotten!

    We have to accept it's hard to make a soundtrack as good as John William's. And I don't say this just because I like him as a composer, but because of the experience he has on film music making. But Patrick Doyle made something real good with the Goblet of Fire soundtrack (previous to this), a bit far from William's work, but definetely fitting in the movie. But this Hooper made just amazingly weak music for this movie. The peaks on tho movie just don't have peaks in the music.

    Who would have thought that Duncan Sheik would succeed where Paul Simon and Randy Newman failed, successfully transitioning from the pop-rock world to the Broadway stage? With Spring Awakening, Sheik and book writer/lyricist Steven Slater (who had already worked on Sheik's 2001 album Phantom Moon) have created a thoroughly exciting show that incorporates a contemporary art-indie idiom (including a small rock band instead of an orchestra) into a dramatic musical-theater context. The unlikely setting is that of a Frank Wedekind adaptation, but as it turns out, teenage angst is perennial, whether it's in contemporary America or in a 1891 German boarding school. Songs such as "The Bitch of Living" ("with nothing going on, asking just what went wrong"), "The Word of Your Body," "I Don't Do Sadness," and "Totally Fucked" ("You're fucked if you speak your mind and you know you will") resonate with the rage, frustration, confusion, excitement, joy, anger, and of course budding lust of those hormone-driven years. The show is greatly enhanced by its youthful cast members (they're all pretty close in age to their characters), who sing their hearts out. --Elisabeth Vincentelli

    Album Description

    Decca Broadway presents the cast recording for the acclaimed new Broadway production, SPRING AWAKENING. Written by pop music composer Duncan Sheik and playwright/lyricist Steven Sater, the musical explores emotional earthquakes in the lives of teenagers.

    SPRING AWAKENING is based on Frank Wedekind's controversial 1891 drama, which was scandalous in its day for addressing sex violence and suicide. The story, dialogue and costumes suggest the 19th Century, and are perfectly wedded to a beautiful alternative pop music score by Grammy® nominated singer/songwriter Duncan Sheik. The creative team also includes Tony® Award Winning director Michael Mayer (Thoroughly Modern Millie) and legendary choreographer Bill T. Jones.

    5 out of 5 stars Spring Awakens.......2007-07-30

    This new musical by Duncan Sheik is pretty damn amazing! The singers are backed up by a minimal orchestra of violins, guitars and a few other instruments. This helps you really get a grasp on the emotional vocals that these young teens are producing. Spring Awakening is a fresh, new musical that takes an outlook on the pains of growing up and the pressure that one is put through when going through puberty. I love this musical and being a musical theatre student i feel that it is essiental for every musical theatre lover! To put it plainly----this musical ROCKS!!!

    5 out of 5 stars Surprisingly Moving and Original.......2007-07-27

    I've heard so much buzz about Spring Awakening, so it was a little difficult to believe all the the rave reviews before I bought the album. All those reviews are right though! It should be a discordant mixture - a 19th century German setting and a pop-rock musical score, but Sheik pulled it off perfectly. Spring Awakening has a soundtrack that will hold both angst-ridden MTV watchers and hardened Broadway buffs enthralled. It is slightly reminiscent of previous musicals, such as Rent and Bare, but it has a spirit and vibrancy all its own. I strongly recommend this! Definitely a highlight of the last few years of Broadway cast recordings!

    2 out of 5 stars What's all the hype?????.......2007-07-23

    This one totally escaped me...I can't believe it won so many Tony Awards. Most of the music sounds the same ...without a real melody to be found. A Rent wannabe that falls way short.

    1 out of 5 stars Spring Awakennings? I don't think so!!!.......2007-07-23

    Having seen the musical of Spring Awakennings at the beginning of this year I would strongly reconsider purchasing this broadway cast recording. I am a theatre goer (at the age of 29) and have seen the majority of the lastest musicals for example, Grey Gardens, and The Pirate Queen. Anyway I was discusted with the musical of Spring Awakennings; why is it cool to show a couple simulating sex and watching a ploke pretending to toss off? constant swearing etc... - How sick is that!!!!... and you call this a musical worthy of nominations (of the year awards)! What is the world coming to! and what drugs are these so called critics taking?

    In my opinion buy something else with your money such as 'The Pirate Queen' which has no longer showing.

    5 out of 5 stars One of the best musical soundtracks ever!.......2007-07-22

    My favorite tracks are "Don't Do Sadness/Blue Wind", "The Song of Purple Summer", "The Dark I Know Well", "My Junk" and "Totally F*ucked".

    As befits the soundtrack of a music biopic, most of the heavy lifting here is done by the movie's subject: iconic French singer Edith Piaf. She was the Gallic Judy Garland, a natural performer who overcame one personal tragedy after another and was never more alive than on stage, forging an uncommon bond with both material and audience. Since actress Marion Cotillard lip-synchs in the film, the first 11 tracks on the CD are by Piaf herself, and give a good overview of her biggest hits (though we get the English version of the title track) and her feverish, ultra-dramatic style. But Piaf wasn't only a tragedienne of song: Her lighter side is represented by "Rien de Rien" and "Mon Manège à Moi," which she infuses with wonderful flair. Tracks 12-20 are made up of Christopher Gunning's richly symphonic original score (check out "La Mort de Leplée"). The last third of the album offers Piaf without Piaf, with contemporary singers Jil Aigrot and Maya Barsoni performing her songs (apparently because the originals' poor sound quality meant they would have stuck out in the movie). Watch out, however, for Mistinguett's hilarious "Il m'a vu nue," a slice of French music-hall history preserved in amber. --Elisabeth Vincentelli

    Album Description

    Official motion picture soundtrack to the film La Vie En Rose, the dramatic real-life story of French chanteuse Edith Piaf, starring Marion Cotillard and Gerard Depardieu. This release contains 27 tracks featuring 11 of Piaf's most popular songs remastered including "La Vie En Rose", "Hymne A L'amour" "Milord" and "Non, Je Ne Regrette Rien", plus the original score by Christopher Gunning.

    If the 9-year-old in your life hasn't alerted you already, consider this your heads up: Not since Hilary Duff has Disney delivered the masses a tween sensation as hot as the double-life-leading Miss Hannah Montana. More important for speaker-blowing second- to seventh-graders and the parents forced to buy them CDs, though, no small-screen sensation transcends the tube more convincingly. Part party girl and part plain old good girl, Montana--a sweet-voiced, playful performer--never skimps on the pipes. Country fans will chalk that up to our rhyme-named heroine's lineage; 14-year-old Miley Cyrus, who plays Montana, is the daughter of Nashville star Billy Ray Cyrus (who duets on this disc's sentimental, twang-resistant last track). The rest of the world, though, is apt to find itself belting along based on Hannah's unsinkable hooks and frothy Ashlee-meets-Hilary vocals alone: theme song "Best of Both Worlds" bumps around off a Joan Jett-reminiscent springboard; "Who Said" rips a page from the emo diaries; and "Just Like You" ladles on harmonies sweet enough to attach a stick to. Additional tracks like Jesse McCartney's "She's No You" and B5's Earth Wind & Fire redo "Shining Star" are first-rate complements to the proceedings, but make no mistake: this dance-happy hybrid belongs to the reigning pop princess alone. --Tammy La Gorce

    Yep, it's hard to believe that a man of thirty-one years is writing a review of the "Hannah Montana" soundtrack but it's true. My daughter, age six, has always enjoyed the TV series that this soundtrack was put out in support of. She naturally wanted to get this disc and did so for her birthday a little over a month ago. Since then, I can't tell you how many times I've been subjected to my daughter singing many of the songs on this album. It is pure bubblegum pop. It's not too offensive nor is it too risque for the younger crowd. It's also easily digestable for parents of children enthralled with Miley Cyrus' portrayal of Montana. Despite being rather fluffy lyric-wise, these songs still manage to be better that pretty much all of today's reigning pop princesses. Cyrus' vocals are much better than the likes of Ashlee Simpson and Avril Lavigne. She also seems like an altogether nicer person than either of them. I've always respected her father, who real fans of country music know spent many, many years trying to make it before hitting with "Achy Breaky Heart." The guy isn't as cheesy as you'd think, and is actually a truer country artist than most of today's mainstream stars like Tim McGraw and Kenny Chesney. It appears that he and his wife are taking the right steps to prevent their daughter from turning into a teenage burn-out queen like Britney Spears or so many other teen stars who couldn't handle being on top.

    Highlights of the album include the show's theme, "Best Of Both Worlds," "Who Said," and "This Is The Life." A few of the songs are from other artists and other than the Click Five's "Pop Princess," they are a definite step down from the pop quality of Cyrus' tracks.

    Overall, I'd have to say that any person who really enjoys pop music will find that this is one of the better albums out there. It also looks as if many of its songs will have a longer shelf life than many other pop songs that are currently out there. Definitely buy this if you have a daughter between the ages of six and twelve. It's great music for them to listen to.

    I highly recommend this album.

    She loves it!

    1 out of 5 stars Pathetic Beyond Belief.......2007-07-19

    The daughter of a mullet-haired hick called Billy Ray Cyrus only gets her stardom because...well, she's the daughter of that guy. Miley Cyrus is a hick herself, and when it comes to a teenybopper music, she knows how to sell her schmuck to the middle school students. She can't sing to save her life, regardless of whatever you are told. She's just a Hilary Duff offshoot, but with a redneck accent.

    And I can tell you, I actually listened to part of her song. It cursed me. It raped my ears. It made me lose all of my shreds of sanity. Plus, it's on the Disney Channel, which has basically become a channel of generic, derivative and lifeless teen-based shows that use the same kid actors over and over. It's pathetic.

    Unless you want to lose your sanity for eternity, destroy your eardrums and make Walt Disney spin in his grave a couple more times, by all means should you purchase this. Just be warned when you're using this to support your drinking glass in a few months.

    There will likely be lots of scoffing at Marc Anthony's interpretation--both on disc and onscreen--of late salsa singer Hector Lavoe. But let's not forget that Anthony is a salsa superstar in his own right. He has anchored some of the genre's most thrilling moments and has taken salsa to audiences not normally exposed to the sweltering sound. The El Cantante soundtrack is a solid effort, notable for Anthony's dedication to recreating Lavoe's distinct delivery and phrasing. He puts aside his own emotive stylings for a more subdued performance on several tracks, including the celebratory "Mi Gente" and the mournful "Escandalo." Anthony is virtually unrecognizable during "Che Che Cole," "Quitate," and the standout "Que Lio," which makes the project all the more intriguing. Jennifer Lopez, Anthony's wife in real life and onscreen in El Cantante, croons pensive closing ballad "Toma de Mi." Even without the film, the soundtrack stands as an earnest homage to a tragic icon. --Joey Guerra

    I really was enjoying this CD! 9 tracks of 70's style Salsa (something I grew up listening to) done with new arrangements and STELLAR vocals by the swesome Marc Anthony...

    ...up until track 10! I really, REALLY wish hubby Marc would be honest with Jen and tell her SHE CAN'T SING! A well written song with a HORRIBLE singer, brings this CD down from 5 stars to a 3! Talk about buzz kill.

    A high recommend, if you can somehow edit out the 10th track.

    I wonder why Hector's best song was not included on the soundtrack?
    The song "Periodico de Ayer" (Yesterdays Newspaper") is to this date one of the best Salsa recordings.

    I never bother writing reviews, I just read them until now... Well 2 things, the music is beautiful (just as Marc's voice), but the movie... is fantastic! I saw it 6 months ago in a survey screening and it was great, both Jennifer and Marc did an excellent job. And the Music sounds even better in the movie!! I can't wait to watch it again...Did I mention I love Marc? :P
