This soundtrack offers a pretty standard mix of new songs, old chestnuts, and excerpts from the score (here by John Debney). On the new tip, Joss Stone and Patti LaBelle engage in an overheated battle of the divas on CD opener "Stir It Up," a bouncy piece of fluff that sounds more like Aretha Franklin circa "Freeway of Love" than classic soul. Other originals include Barenaked Ladies' "One Little Slip" (this movie's answer to Counting Crows' "Accidentally in Love" from Shrek 2) and the Cheetah Girls' peppy-but-bland cover of "Shake Your Tail Feather." But the real highlights are the songs performed by the movie's vocal cast, which includes Joan Cusack, Garry Marshall, Zach Braff, Steve Zahn, and Amy Sedaris. Their group cover of Elton John and Kiki Dee's "Don¹t Go Breaking My Heart," for instance, sounds as if half of them were drunk in the recording studio (and this is meant as a compliment.) Braff's a cappella version of "We Are the Champions" is smashing and Cusack and Zahn's take on the Spice Girls' "Wannabe" is completely demented. The kids will laugh; their parents will laugh even harder for completely different reasons. --Elisabeth Vincentelli

What fun!.......2007-08-05

Great to hear the old and new songs and to remember a really well done animated film.

my little one loves Chicken Little.......2007-04-05

My husband bought the Chicken Little movie for our 3 year old (mostly to get us OFF the Cars movie that we all have memorized) and he fell in love with it! He likes to act out the scenes and loves the music. He loves this CD at night when he's going to bed. We all have to dance to One Little Slip (he knows all the words) and then we have to "shake our tail feathers" before he jumps in bed every night! I enjoy the cd too, so it's good for everyone!

this is a great kids cd!!.......2007-03-24

My daughter absolutely loves this cd. I could not find it anywhere until i looked on amazon, so thank you amazon!!

Great soundtrack for the children, especially if they liked the movie!.......2007-03-14

My son loved the movie Chicken Little, so we decided to purchase this for him to listen to on his discman. He loves the soundtrack as much as the movie, which made it an awesome investment(especially since the soundtrack has many good singers that aren't too hard on the ears for the adult crowdes either). My son was very happy with this item, and so was I.

Her favorite gift..........2006-12-23

I bought the CD to accompany the movie. My four year old watches the movie everyday. When I gave her the CD, after listening to it nightly, she takes it to bed with her everynight where I have to pry it out of her hands after she falls off to sleep. I don't get it, but she does...so it's worth what I paid for it.

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.

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.

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.

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

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

Muffled.......2006-11-03

This is a decent enough recording, but it's not anywhere near the best that I have heard. The Andre Previn/LSO recording is much better mixed; at times it seems like there's a muffle on the mikes, or that you're hearing it from a distance.

If I wanted good, dynamic background music, I'd do this. If I wanted to really listen to the music, I'd pick another version.

Somewhat disappointing........2003-09-10

I bought this for the full-length rendition of Rhapsody in Blue. I found the brass too tinny sounding, and the rhythm off in a few places. I like the snippet of this song on the "Best of the Milleneum" CD much better.

Gershwin At His Best in Hearts!.......2003-03-19

To someone who came along as a teenage boy in the mid-1940's, this CD has the elements of authenticity, even surprise, musical history, highly intense performances, and ways evoking memories of emotional highlights of my Youth. When mediocre orchestra 1st tackled Gershwin's "Rhapsody in Blue" at Smoky Mtn Music Camp we were preparing for Sunday's outdoor Concert. Pianos were played by two friends who've presided Music Dept at Carson-Newman College in East Tennessee. In the Trombone section was a skinny kid with too much hair and too big an ego! When our esteemed conductor began the opening bars the Clarinet Soloist, my close friend Danny Boy slide-up the chromatic scale with fleurish. He later became a NC Doctor! He likely plays clarinet for his own amazement in someone's Dixieland Band!

On this wondrous CD there are historic names like Bernstein, Kostelanez, John Williams and Michael Tilson Thomas, Conductors. Andre Previn, Yo-Yo Ma and Sarah Vaughan as Soloists. I would have a hard time choosing which may be called my favorite! It would depend on the day they are playing in my car... traveling to Columbia Seminary classes or GA Diagnostic Prison for lunch with Chaplain friends! I often sing along with the Rhapsody as I did in 1949 when Oscar Levant soloed with Chattanooga Orch. My very young wife was playing in the first violin section! Still today I am totally wiped out when anyone as intensely romantic as Sarah Vaughan sings "Summertime" or "I Loves You, Porgy!"

Is it not amazingly wondrous that someone could create so much enjoyable music in his short lifetime of 39 years? I never wish to part with this all-time favorite 10-Star Recording!
Retired Chaplain Fred W Hood

The best America has to offer!!.......1999-03-09

This is the best collection of his songs i have ever heard. That's probably because it features conductors like John Williams and Micheal Tilson Thomas. My personal favorite is the allegro agitato from the Concerto in F. I have other recordings of this song, but none of them can even come close to matching the excitement of this one.

There was nothing like the Robeson sound, ever. To describe his deep, rich, perfectly equalized instrument is futile. Go instead to "Balm in Gilead," the opening track, and see if you can listen to the last pianissimo phrase without falling to pieces. Robeson was at his best when the music was slow and the words contained spiritual or social messages. Faster, lighter fare like Kern's "I Still Suits Me" or Gershwin's "It Ain't Necessarily So" find the serious-minded singer out of his element, lacking irony and swing. "Old Man River," though, gets a simple, dignified treatment. It's Songs of Free Men, though, that will just keep Robeson's artistry rolling along, especially in Sony's astonishing transfers. --Jed Distler

Customer Reviews:

Robeson on wax.......2007-06-19

I found this album in a thrift store last week, for a couple of dollars. It's the original pressing on four 78 RPM records, in a gatefold format. It's in pristine condition. I really bought it for the incredible cover art, although I hope to be able to listen to it in this format at some point.

The voice, the sound quality and the interpretation.......2004-09-24

Put this on your stereo and if it is good enough the depth and richness of Robeson's voice will make your fillings rattle and your chest rumble. The power of his voice is awesome. This CD is superbly recorded with no audible noise at normal listening levels.

A Voice from the 40s, often dated, often moving.......2002-09-01

"Red diaper babies" have greeted this disc with nostalgic joy, and it captures a time and an aesthetic and a political belief with precision. Anyone interested in the emotional life of the pro-Soviet left of the 1940s should buy this disc. It's something like Henry Wallace set to music. There is much more to Robeson than that, however, and Sony has given us Robeson whole: there are songs by American masters of the musical, there are labor songs, religious songs, as well as the kind of faux-folk songs which the butcher supreme Josef Stalin encouraged and which were not taken seriously inside the USSR (except at gunpoint!!) but which were taken up by dupes around the world. This is Robeson at his least savory - willing propagandist for a vile mass murderer. Songs such as "Native Land" (fittingly, Robeson is referring to the Soviet Union) and the Red Army song are the equivalent of the "Horst Wessel Song", anthems of murder, and it is difficult to listen to the worst of them without retching. On the other hand, Robeson's commitment to American folk culture was real. "Balm in Gilead" is deeply beautiful; "John Henry" is heroic; "By an' By" is both resigned yet hopeful. "Joe Hill" captures an era in labor history. Anyone interested in American popular song should hear these. Turning to Broadway, his "Old Man River" is very fine, though Robeson changed the lyrics for political reasons and Leonard Warren has done the song better. I disagree with the editorial reviewer: "I Still Suits Me" is wonderfully playful and shows Robeson using his gorgeously rich voice to tease and poke fun. However, Marc Blitzstein's "Purest Kind of a Guy" is beyond saving - another example of Robeson recording an unworthy song by a political fellow-traveller. Ugh. But for every miss there are two hits. Robeson performs Mendelssohn's Elijah with nobility, and sings his favorite song, "Water Boy", with joyous pride: "There ain't no hammer that's on these mountains that rings like mine, boys, that rings like mine."
No one need have any fears about the mono sound quality. The orchestra in the second half of the program is at times a little dwarfed by Robeson's voice, but it generally sounds clean and colorful, and the great artist's voice rings like no other.

Robeson at his best.......2000-05-12

It's hard to believe that most of these recordings pre-date the advent of magnetic tape: the CD transfer is superlative. The songs and performance are beyond reproach. Notable is the imaginative packaging in miniature 'record album' format, complete with the original cover art, and a replica of the original Columbia record label applied to the CD.

In response to a previous question: Robeson's performance of Danny Boy (Londonderry Air) can be found on the Vanguard LP entitled "Robeson" (VRS-9037).

some of the greatest songs of the last century.......2000-05-05

In the 1940s, before rabid McCarthyism and racism had taken its toll on him, Robeson made these wonderful recordings of spirituals, classics and pop tunes. Accompanied by the solo piano of the incomparable Lawrence Brown, or by an orchestra, the songs ring out with pride, dignity, skill and unmatched integrity. The shameful treatment that Robeson was subject to from American authorities certainly seem grotesquely absurd to a modern listener. The wonderful version of "The House I Live In" included on this cd should forever kill off any suspicion that Robeson did not love his country deeply. This album ought to be heard by millions of people, world wide. Robeson's voice is nothing less than a glorious high point in 20th century music, and it's hard to think of any recording capturing it to greater advantage.

Amazon.com

A Chorus Line may be better known, but Dreamgirls was a towering achievement for director Michael Bennett. Loosely based on the Supremes' story, the 1982 musical told a typical show-biz tale of fame, backbiting, and survival. As is often the case for one-night only events, the cast in this concert version (recorded in New York on September 24, 2001) is led by an eye-popping assortment of Broadway powerhouses: Lillias White (The Life), Audra McDonald (Ragtime, Marie Christine), and Heather Headley (Ragtime). McDonald reveals a previously undisclosed comic streak, while Headley confirms her status as a rising star. Reprising the role of Effie Melody White (created by Jennifer Holliday), White belts the classic "And I Am Telling You I'm Not Going." But the beauty of Dreamgirls is that it's so packed with catchy, Motown-influenced R&B numbers that each lead can sink her teeth into some prime material and get a turn in the spotlight. This double-CD set really makes you wish you'd been there when the show was recorded: you can hear the crowd going berserk at times, and the temptation is strong to do the same thing in the comfort of your living room. --Elisabeth Vincentelli

Customer Reviews:

Dreamgirls 2001.......2007-06-27

This was the worst reproduction of Dreamgirls that I ever heard. I was so disappointed the CD went into the garbage. This is one CD that I would not sell to the public because I expect so much and get so little.

Not the real "DREAM" experience.......2007-04-04

Forget about the film sountrack. Get this CD set. And it's far better than the original cast recording which goes lacking. More songs and more everything that makes a live performance just what it is. Live (compared to film where anything can be done to enhance a performance!) -- the energy, the excitement and the performances make this a rare treat for anyone wanting to share in the real DREAM experience.

Isn't a full Broadway revival long over due. But wait: I've heard rumors that a rvial may be "in the works. I certainly hope so. Maybe this time it will receive the Tony award it deserved in the first place.

Absolutely brilliant!.......2007-01-28

There is atleast 5 new songs on this album that were not in the movie! These girls kill it I mean they are just amazing singers, and this all live! This is needed for any Dreamgirls fanatic like me! You are gonna love it! Enjoy! love live laugh :)

Amazing!!!!!!.......2006-12-04

As a theatre lover, this recording is amazing. I actually prefer this recording to the OBC. Sheryl Lee Ralph is okay, but can't touch Audra's Deena. The first time I heard Ms. White's "And I Am Telling You..", goosbumps all over my body. The only weak cast member in my opinon is Heather Headly. Vocally, she just isn't there. Too much Aida, not enough Dreamgirls. But all in all, a great live recording of a great show.

One Night Only .......2006-07-19

I was lucky enough to attend this One Night Only concert performance of Dreamgirls and it was a night I will never forget!! The cast was brilliant and the cd is as good if not better than the Broadway cast recording because it is the entire show not just the songs. Bravo to everyone involved !!!

There STILL Ain't No 'Bout-A-Doubt It.......2007-01-11

So glad to get my hands back on this album (cd) again. Larry Graham at his best!!!! FORGET ABOUT HIS SOLO CAREER (that balladeer garbage). His best musical moments were BEFORE that, when the only thing I knew about Larry Graham was GRAHAM CENTRAL STATION!!!! This album is a must have. The first 3 cuts on the cd ALONE is enough to make the album a classic.

This ain't nothin but a Warner Bros. P A R T Y! .......2005-09-14

I heard this on the AM dial when radio had some guts and variety.
Hopped on my bike and poured out enough change to go home with my prize.
Oh my, my, my what a prize. Reared on the sounds of Sly and the family stone, this hit the spot.
The Jam took guts right from the start with a overtime, overload of a FUNK with some self expression added. It took me years to realize that the same bass voice that hit the charts in the 80's with the ballad, "One in a Million you" is the lead on "Your Love." Warner Bros. FIRST. That's right, FIRST Black Gold album. Hence this band set the way for The Time, Prince etc. "It's alright", "Water" and "Easy Rider", are the uptempo fun grooves here. "I can't stand the rain" is just an awesome arrangement.
Warner Bros. Party is a fun tribute to the Tower of Power, Doobie Bros. etc. Laid back fun and inspiration "Ole Smokey" and "Luckiest People." round off a super funk outing.
I do believe after the success of this recording Warner Bros. set up a dept. for Black Music that they obviously had overlooked.

Tha Bawwmb!.......2005-01-08

Yeesir! This was recorded at the peak of their magic powers as a 'Fonk' outfit. Every number here is perfect. 'The Jam' still knocks my socks off eeach time I hear it, 'It's Alright' and 'Warner Bros Parrty' slam the grooves and raise dem hands!
Then there's the soulfully, Doo Wap resplendence of 'Your Love,' where all the Gospel truth about Love 'n' stuff just socks it to ya, right in the gut, the way a good fonk ballad should do.
'Water' is a clever bit of tight, backwards production, and has one of Larry's most killer slaps! Their records always finish on a religious, over the top kinda tip, but that really is the only down side to the heaviest funk and groove this of Bootsy and Kool And The Gang. Oh yeah, dont listen to other reviewers when they say, 'Get the greatist hit's,' cause every GCS album upto 'My Radio Sure Sounds Good To Me' is essential funk listening. You hear how they progress from raw funk and southern stars, to more discoish, upbeat songs. Praise tha Lawwd!

Overrated.......2003-08-20

Sure this has GCS's statement of intent "The Jam" and fun part numbers such as "Ain't Nothin But A Warner Brothers Party"
but the overrall quality of the compositions is a significant step down from "Release Yourself" and their monster debut.Best
hear it's highlites on a Greatest Hits package.

gcs: their best.......2003-01-10

As a long time fan, (in my mind, their biggest fan!), this album has always stood out as their greatest body of work!. From their national anthem "The Jam", to the other party favorites, it has stood the test of time. Definitely, a must buy!

This miraculous recital was Chang's debut recording, made when she was nine years old. In Sarasate's Carmen Fantasy you can hear some very minor flaws in the technique, which were gone when I heard her play it two years later. There's nothing else to indicate that this is a young violinist, not even the tone Chang draws from a quarter-size violin. While none of these pieces is very heavy in musical content, she shows a wide range of sympathies, from the singing lyricism of Chopin to a very hip-sounding "It Ain't Necessarily So" from Gershwin's Porgy and Bess. --Leslie Gerber

Sarah Chang -- unparalleled even at 9!.......2001-01-20

What can I say that does not smack of praise for this debut album by one of the most gifted young violinists ever of the millennium?

The one thing that I find lacking in most violinists' playing is ... fire. Oh, of course, techincal ability ranks high on the list but one has to agree that most of the prodigial virtuosi we've heard so far have most of that particular area of playing down-pat. Chang certainly has the lightning-quick fingers required for virtually all of the songs she plays here, but as the Amazon.com review states -- she also plays with a good deal of _bite_. The deciding pieces are, in no particular order: Sarasate's very famous miniatures from Carmen, the Sabre Dance from Gayane (wonderfully played, with the tempo bright and fast-moving), Gershwin's It Ain't Necessarily So (when I first heard this track, I was in heaven! What jazzy playing for one so young! The violin literally sings and swoons in her capable hands), and Prokofiev's March from The Love of Three Oranges. The last piece, compared to Midori's version (which can be found on her "Encore!" CD), I feel, is better performed -- the speed and spear-driven flashes of the bow are just right. Midori overperforms on a song that's supposed to be a march.

Interesting historical document.......1999-01-06

Immaculate technique, remarkably good tone for a quarter-sized violin, and wonderful musicality for a nine-year-old. Of course, she still has some room for improvement artistically.

Her interpretation of Gershwin's "It ain't necessarily so" is the most sensuous (almost lascivious!) one I've ever heard--such abundant, luscious, provocative slides! Nonetheless, I love it!

This disc is an interesting historical document: hear how well a nine-year-old human can play. No other violinist in history ever recorded at such a young age.

Busta Rhymes's sixth solo album loosely follows in the tradition of his 1998 Extinction Level Event and 2000's Anarchy, offering up lucid, timely commentary over futuristic beats. In fact, his previous new-world-order rants provide a perfect prelude to his post-9/11 analysis on the title track. While Busta offers his unpredictable array of flows across the usual balance of club tracks ("Make It Clap"), hottie songs of praise ("Hey Ladies"), and obligatory street anthems ("What Do You Do When You're Branded"), one can't help wonder why he'd mix in tired concepts (south Asian compositions on "Take It Off Part 2") or perform the pimped-out, playa routine on "Taste It," with its sundry (yawn) sexual references. Like its predecessor, Genesis, this album is sonically superior to most in the marketplace, thanks to contributions from the Neptunes. While big-name collaborations with Mariah Carey on "I Know What You Want" (where Busta croons) and Carl Thomas ("The Struggle Will Be Lost") don't exactly change the price of butter, hey, at least Busta's not pointlessly advertising chi-chi liquor companies this time around. --Dalton Higgins

The One Busta Album Not Worth Buying.......2006-10-23

"It Ain't Safe No More" is Busta Rhymes's sixth and arguably worst solo offering of his career. Where did he go wrong on this album? Well, his unique, outrageous flow and hard deliveries seems to be ultimately lost over these mystic, often substance-lacking tracks. At the same time, Busta was most likely being influenced to releasing a rap album leaning, towards pop/hip-hop, something that would have a public appeal. Unfortunately, what came of the album was no-brainer club tracks. This album does have it moments don't get me wrong, where Busta shows a flair of his old self but on a big scale, "It Ain't Safe No More" does not reach any quality he has had prior or following this release.

This album actually opens up a strong note, with the self-titled track boasting some solid rhymes over a fairly hard toned beat. "What Do You Do When You're Branded" is in my opinion the best song on the album. This is classic Busta Rhymes with his tight flow, many voicings, and intricate rhyming structures. "Call The Ambulance" is a solid song until we reach the otiose chorus, which is simply bland and uncreative. "We Goin' Do It To Ya" has some good qualities to make a rap song, but doesn't really stand out for much. "What Up" has a spacey beat, which gives us a brief reminder of his E.L.E. days, and his flow is on the mark here too. "Turn Me Up Some" is decent, but lost in its forgetabble beat and lyrics. "Make It Clap" opens the stage for the worst of the album. It's dull attempt towards being a hit club banger is lost in it's tasteless lyricism and sappy beat. "Take It Off Pt. 2" is downright awful, and is recorded a completely different style than its predecessor. "Taste It" and "Hey Ladies" also remain wasted space of an album. "I Know What You Want" is without a doubt memorable, but Mariah Carey's feeble pop vocals do not fit well at all. "Riot" puts the album back on reasonable ground and "Together" has a catchy beat. "Struttin' Like A G.O.D." wants to be far too epic for what it actually is, and its chorus is very bland. "Till It's Gone" is a tight track however, with some fine work by Busta Rhymes on his delivery.

Overall, "It Ain't Safe No More" felt very rushed, and overproduced. It also represented a poor direction for Busta Rhymes, heading towards brainless club tracks. I am happy to report though, that he came back with "The Big Bang", an excellent rap album for 2006, with his raw voice and flow, and some hard-hitting gangsta beats supplied by the best producer in the game, Dr. Dre. All of his other studio albums are recommended.

Okay, i guess.......2006-10-01

i love busta, but this cd just didnt do anything for me. i couldnt get into the songs and i was left wondering what happened to busta. only cop it if you are a die hard busta fan.
rating C+

Tight.......2005-10-09

This is a great CD. I held off buying it for a long time, but eventually came into some money and got it. I certainly wasn't disappointed. Busta's rhyming style is incredible. He can seem disinterested for half a song, then all of a sudden step it up to the next level on the chorus, and go back to his unemotional style on the verse. The lyrics at times can be a little shallow, as he falls into the 'Cars, Money and Bitches' category, but apart from that the album is great. Buy it!

you gotta get this!.......2005-07-23

this is easily his best CD but I'm not sure. I think the best is "Taste It" cause it's got an extremely twisted beat. If you're looking for some good funk, then here you go! If you are looking for deep meaning in the lyrics then you do not want this cause he doesn't really talk about anything that's meaningful. Although I've always found him to be the best rapper out there. He has a jamaican voice without the accent. You should check out his videos. Those are crazy wicked!

Weak.......2004-04-03

I love Busta Rhymes, but this is bad. I gave him 2 stars only because of Call the Ambulence and because it is Busta Rhymes.
Why did he do the song with that ************ Sean Paul.
Busta is falling down.

A superb recording in every respect, from the perfect intonation, blend, and balance to the unique style and sound of this talented group! An array of tunes to delight the casual listener and music critic alike. Perhaps my best recording...certainly a favorite! As a saxophonist and teacher, I would like all my students to hear this fine recording.
