Editorial Reviews
Amazon.com's Best of 2001
Seven years after her debut at just 15 years old, Aaliyah assembled a third studio album that was astonishingly mature. Sadly, her death just a little over a month after its release stilled a promising voice in R&B. At 22, when most artists would just be getting started, Aaliyah had already progressed from pop to street to an unconventional retro-modern, risk-taking version of R&B. While lead track "We Need a Resolution" is as mainstream as it gets, there are fewer hits on this album than on previous efforts. Instead, this collection is an extraordinary romantic exposition of passion and pain. While Missy Elliott is cranking out jams for all her "club freaks," Aaliyah is like a modern-day (if less vocally gifted) Minnie Riperton, exploring the pains of moving from child star to adult sex symbol. Tracks such as "Never No More" and "I Care 4 U" (featuring Missy) are slinky, twisted ballads imbued with film-noir sultriness, as diva Aaliyah steps catlike away from the bubblegum R&B of her contemporaries. There's also the obligatory rock track tacked on near the end ("I Can Be"), but even this excels above the standard hip-hop/rock/R&B crossover fare with its Prince-like influences coupled with Aaliyah's own instinct for seduction. Aaliyah also signaled a move away from her long-standing musical relationship with producer Timbaland, who contributes just three cuts. Having started out heavily supported by R. Kelly, it appeared that Aaliyah was more than able to go it alone. --Jake Barnes

One of the more successful attempts by another studio (here Fox) to make a quality animated film on par with Disney was Anastasia. The music by David Newman and songs by Lynn Ahrens and Stephen Flaherty (the Broadway team that won a Tony for Ragtime) give the movie a sturdy backbone. From the Zhivago-gone-Broadway opening number "A Rumor in St. Petersburg" to the Oscar-nominated get-up-and-sing "Journey to the Past," the CD is filled with bright numbers, including low-key pop versions of several of the songs. The vocal talent is exceptional, especially Liz Callaway (Grizabella in Broadway's Cats) as Anastasia (Meg Ryan supplied the speaking voice). Bernadette Peters and Jim Cummings (doing a mean Christopher Lloyd impersonation as the speaking voice of the movie's heavy, Rasputin) offer solid support, with kudos to Kelsey Grammer as Vlad, the portly sidekick. The album's (and film's) star is "Once Upon a December," simply one of the most beautiful songs ever from an animated film. Using a waltz motif that is heard throughout the film, the song--with sparse lyrics--builds into a sweeping and memorable number. It will have your dancing princesses asking for repeats. The CD's liner notes include complete lyrics. --Doug Thomas

Customer Reviews:

Great Music NOT DISNEY.......2007-05-25

I love this music, but I mainly wanted to make the correction that Anastasia is NOT a Disney film, and this CD is not Disney. That might confuse some people. :) It is still very good, though.

If you love soundtracks..you'll love this.......2007-05-12

This CD has all the sound tracks on the (cartoon) movie Anastasia.. If you're a fan of soundtracks you should get this.. it also has songs from the movie.. lyrics are included

excellent CD...can't wait 2 get it!!!.......2007-05-06

I watched the movie w/ my cousin for the first time in years...and i love the songs (my favs r "once upon a december" and "in the dark of the night"

"in the dark of the night" has an eerie touch with a hard rock/heavy metal sound LOVE IT!!!

But the movie is extremely inaccurate w/ the history of the Romanovs and legend of Anastasia's survival. Don't watch it if you want a movie about history, cause it's not right.

Great soundtrack to a very good film..........2007-01-04

The "Anastasia" soundtrack was a pleasant surprise. I loved the atmosphere of the "set up" songs like track 1, and Rasputin's song, but the standouts are Liz Callaway's songs like "Journey to the Past", which is sang with such feeling. Aaliyah's version of "Journey" knocked it out of the park, mixing some good r&b into it. Liz's "Once Upon A December" is also haunting, and you do wish she'd remember why she sees such visions. And of course "At The Beginning" with Donna Lewis and Richard Marx was a huge radio hit, and also a great song. Definately worth a listen.

Still one of my favorite soundtracks after all these years.......2007-01-03

2007 will mark the 10th "birthday" of the animated film, Anastasia. When I was little, this was one of my favorite animated films. (All the way up in the top 10 with The Lion King) One reason I liked it so much was easily the music.

1. A Rumor in St. Petersburg-
A funny song that played near the beginning of the movie. Not something you'd want to play really loud, but still a funny track.

2. Journey to the Past- Anastasia singing about "home, love, family". Isn't that the main theme of the movie? Lovely, high quality song.

3. Once Upon a December- I LOVE this song. It's beautiful.

4. In The Dark Of The Night- O.o An old creepy man singing about killing an innocent girl? Er... yeah. Like the first track, it's not something you should be blasting on a giant stereo system... unless you want to get some weird looks from innocent passer-bys.

5. Learn To Do It- Cute song from another one of those "random characters burst out into song" moments.

6. Learn To Do It (Waltz Suprise)- The music from that scene were Anya and Dimitri were dancing on the boat from the middle of the movie. (Not the scene at the very end.)

7. Paris Holds The Key (To Your Heart)- Another one of those fun "random characters burst out into song" moments from one of my favorite scenes of the movie.

8. At The Beginning- Possibly the reason most people buying this album are probably buying it for this track alone. It's a sweet pop song, good enough to be played on any pop radio station. It was played during the end credits and really captures the "feel" of the whole movie.

9. Journey To The Past (Aaliyah's Version)- A sort of R&B-ish remake of "Journey To The Past". Aaliyah did a good job, it sounds lovely.

10. Once Upon A December (Deana Carter's Version)- Not as good as Aaliyah's song but I still enjoy it.

Tracks 11-16 are all instrumentals, although I think the vocals from when little Anastasia and her grandmother were singing (very beginning of the movie) are in track 11.

17. Viaje Tiempo Atras (Journey To The Past)- Unnecessary track, it's just "Journey to the Past" in Spanish... but if you know Spanish, then enjoy sitting there and bugging people how you know what the woman is singing and they don't. Still a good track, but like I said, unnecessary.

Well, I hope my review of one of my favorite CDs of all time was informative and helpful.

Aaliyah - Ultimate Aaliyah .......2007-02-03

"Ultimate Aaliyah" (2005) is an impressive two disc release (+ Bonus dvd) consisting of twenty-five tracks from Aaliyah (Aaliyah Dana Haughton, January 16th 1979-August 25th 2001). Aaliyah's death at 22 years old sent shocks through the music world, a real tragedy - may she rest in peace. In her short lifetime Aaliyah was a prolific grammy winning artist, model & actress. This release opens with the exceptional "One In A Million", Aaliyah shines like the sun on this memorable love ballad. Next to this sweet cut, my favourite Aaliyah track is the outstanding slow jam "I Care 4 U", Aaliyah comforts a man who's women left him. I remember when "We Need A Resoultion" was blowing up on the radio, its a commercially friendly track which is relevant to the everyday relationship issue's real life people deal with. Another hit collaboration with Timbaland is "Try Again" made for "Romeo Must Die" a movie starring Jet Li and Aaliyah. "Rock The Boat" & "More Then A Woman" are to more memorable joints from her self-titled album. The "I Miss You" (Remix) is a moving and powerful track, Aaliyah sings soulfully about a lost love - Aaliyah really captured the feeling of a breakup and the longing people have on this premium joint. Disc two features bonus, soundtrack, and guest appearance/collaboration material. Timbaland & Magoo team up with Wyclef and provide a heartfelt tribute to Aaliyah on "Hold On" . "Ultimate Aaliyah" is a release for any R & B collection.

Wonderful, eye-catching packaging and great selections completes this CD set! Features all her best, gems, and a DVD documentary of her life and music! No disappointments here!

A complete timeline of her career! (4.5 stars).......2006-04-14

In a span of only 7 years, Aaliyah Dana Haughton became one of the biggest and brightest stars in R&B. In 2001, she released her self-titled third album to rave reviews and was slated to star in two big-budget films later in the year. However, Aaliyah never lived to reap her newfound success as an ill-fated crash off of the Barbados coast took her life. It's still hard to believe to this day.

Since then, there's been a few compilations to harness Aaliyah's short-lived but successful career. Only one, however, has completely captured her best moments -- "Ultimate Aaliyah". Released in the U.K. in 2005, it's a three-disc set of her greatest hits, grab-bag material, and an hour-long DVD documentary paying tribute to the legacy she departed with. The U.S. saw the release of "I Care 4 U" (which was a decent hits compilation), but this is, by far, the best collection of Aaliyah's career. It includes ALL of her chart entries, (except "Come Over" and "Age Ain't Nuthin But A Number"), NEW unreleased material, and a special documentary of interviews and promo clips from some of the biggest and brightest stars who knew Aaliyah best.

In sum, Aaliyah's entire career is on display with this special collection. You don't have to look elsewhere to find Aaliyah at her best moments (unless you have to have "Age" and/or "Come Over"). As a bonus, you also get a DVD that tells her life through interviews and video clips from some of your favorite stars. This is truly the ultimate collection! Therefore, the only problem I have was its quiet release. An all-encompassing collection of Aaliyah's best moments with a bonus DVD and it gets a quiet U.K. release? Maybe it was contract issues with her label, but this record SHOULD have gotten a U.S. release. If you don't own it, it's a definite must-have, no matter the side of the ocean you're on. Highly recommended for any music fan, especially avid R&B followers.

She has already jammed with Gladys Knight in Las Vegas, eloped with influential R&B mogul R. Kelly, and scored two platinum albums--and she's just barely graduated from high school. No, she is not your average teenager, nor is she just another pretty soul singer. On One in a Million, Aaliyah expands on the smooth grooves of her massively successful debut album Age Ain't Nothing but a Number, and shows that all the life experiences have not gone to waste. The production and songwriting talents of Tim 'Timbaland' Mosley and rapper Missy Elliot give the songs on One In A Million a seductive edge with laidback grooves and cool hip-hop licks; but what really makes this album rise above is the full-grown singer at the controls. On the title track, a magical ballad, Aaliyah casts a cool spell with layered voices and a smoky delivery. With the assistance of Slick Rick, she turns Marvin Gaye's "Got To Give It Up" into a funky hip-hop jam for the end of the millennium. While with "4 Page Letter," one of the album's high points, she intricately details the end of love affair. Artists twice her age could only hope to create a work of such clarity and resonance. --Aidin Vaziri

An Album That Defines An Era.......2007-03-30

The year was 1996, Urban R&B and Hip Hop had really gone from being in the backround with Gangsta Rap and New Jack Swing to the top of the mainstream charts with a more commercial sound that appealed for a broader audience. Blackstreet, Mary J Blige, Fugees, R. Kelly and Puff Daddy. Aaliyah was 17 at the time and almost about to graduate from highschool. She already had one album in her bag "Age Ain't Nothing But A Number" produced and written by R. Kelly that she also ended up marrying, but since she was underage the marraige was shortly annuled and they both went seperate ways. On Aaliyah's second album titled "One In A Million" she teamed up with a bunch of diffrent producers, which was quite rare at the time. Jermaine Dupri, Rodney Jerkins and the completely unknown producer Timothy Mosley, better known as Timbaland. Mosley had previously worked with Missy Elliott's band "Sista" but with limited resources and not much success. He and Missy (who hadn't released her debut album yet) teamed up together and wrote/produced 7 of the songs of Aaliyah's second album. The result would be revolutionary and differ from anything that was on the radio at the time. Timbaland created a unique sound that would take R&B closer to mainstream with "stuttering bass-heavy bounce beats offset resounding high-end synth stabs" and often making cameos on his productions but no sampling, everything was created by himself. All this was known simply as the "Timbaland Sound" and 10 years later he would not only be a super-producer but the greatest procucer of his generation. Aaliyah had also matured, at only 17 she sound much older and experienced and she's was now a complete singer that can stand on her own feet and the overall result is a more satisfying effort then her debut. It's also fulpacked with hits, apart from the wonderful title track produced by Timbaland, he also produced the hits "Hot Like Fire", "If Your Girl Only Knew" and "4 Page Letter". A Diane Warren penned ballad called "The One I Gave My Heart To" reached top 10 on the charts. Other then that, we'll also find some fine remakes, like Marvin Gaye's "Got to Give It Up" with old skool rapper Slick Rick and Isley Brothers "Choosey Lover", later used by R.Kelly and Nas for a remix for "Street Dreams" and Rodney "Darkchild" Jerkin's "Everything's Gonna Be Alright" and Dupri's "I Gotcha Back". Intro and Outro included you get 17 songs of class and depth, and that is more then anyone could ask for, especially from someone so young. "One in A Million" is equally good as her third eponymous album and should end up in any music fan's collection. Sadly Aaliyah died in a plane crash in 2001 and the music world lost one of the most talented, beautiful and charismatic singers and I often wonder what she would have amount to in the future, it really looked so bright for her. Looking back 10 years in time I can clearly say that this album was something above the ordinary. R&B came closer to mainstream music, production was starting to have a bigger impact in music and Aaliyah made the best R&B album of the year together with Ginuwine's "The Bachelor" that was produced by...You know who.

Rest in peace Aaliyah.

Mixed emotions...and an endless regret.......2007-05-18

Maybe because i'm always been a great fan of "Babygirl", i've a "controversial" attitude about her third and final album. I must admit that in my mind these songs are always related to the sad memory of her death, as you know happened just a few weeks after the release of this CD.

Actually i've had a few occasions to listen the whole album without the heavy influence of her loss. However, i can say that after my few "happy" listenings i was thinking that Aaliyah was in the beginning of a new phase of her amazing career. Honestly, i was a bit sorry that Timbaland wasn't too much present in the album, even if i knew the technical problems related to the long absence of Aaliyah from the US, due to her movie projects in Australia.

Obviously she was in a personal and artistical growing process, but we'll never know what goals she could be able to fulfill...unfortunately.

As another proof of her talent and her unique personality, this album was truly above the average of the R&B music on air in that period. But i'll always consider "One in A Million" (my favorite R&B album of the past decade) the best disk of her discography.

While her third album was the first glimpse of her future evolution, the previous has been a milestone of the contemporary R&B history, thanks to the perfect match between her voice and the totally "innovative" (in those times) Timbaland's beats.

When i see some "overrated" artists that release a new song every month (always recycling the same ideas) i love to think about a singer like Aaliyah...because she loved to release a disk only when she thinked to have something really new to propose to the audience. This is the reason why she has left us only three albums...but this is even one of the many reasons why i miss her so much...and i'll always consider her someone special.

Always and forever...my favorite artist.

"Aaliyah", just ordered it from England.......2007-04-05

I guess you have to do, what you got to do, in order to get great stuff! I ordered "Aaliyah" from For Your Entertainment (F.Y.E.), and it arrived from England 7 days later. It also featured "Try Again" on it. And the whole packaging of the album was different. It folded out, instead of just opening up the plastic regular case. Now, I cant stop listening to the unique and lovely sounds of Aaliyah's voice. This album is timeless. And so many people are hating saying that this album isnt that good. Well, a lot of people probably expected Aaliyahs younger sound from 1996's "One In A Million". She grown up a lot from that sophmore album, and Aaliyah must of had likes varieties of music. So when people bought this album they were a little dumbfounded, just remember that artists do not like to put out the same old material. But back to "Aaliyah", the album is amazing, and really deserves 5 stars!!!

nice cd .......2007-03-09

i heard about this cd back in june 2001 i heard about thought friend i grew up on aaliyah remebering aaliyah from her frist cd not her 2nd one back in 94 i didn,t that this didn,t sell much when released until this year. i follow aaliyah from age anit but number to her frist movie romeo must die the people who are saying bad thing about have a right to the person who that said aaliyah wasn,t known until she died that not ture the media and people know who before her passing. or they won,t tell you that she died the ture is as she wasn,t popluar as brandy or monica that means you won,t hear about her as much you did them she would come and go while brandy & monica where in limelight she did the oposite of thesse two this cd is good but not like one milion this cd was aaliyah best cd up to date this cd fall short to that we need resoultion made it the top 40 but this single would that would make it she had no problems with the frist and 2nd cd. but she left for 5 years so she would porblems comeback no wonder she wanted other people on this cd because she knew be as successful .

A Little Off Target.......2007-02-16

This is a decent album, but something seems to be missing. I don't know if it's because the tracks seem too similar w/ one another, or if it's because the beats weren't catchy enough... but, it doesn't hit the spot for me. It's not a bad album, since "I Care 4 U" and "We Need A Resolution" were hits, and a few of the other tracks seem to be nice, but it certainly could have used a couple more solid jams to make it a better album. Aaliyah is stunningly beautiful and sexy, but this album doesn't do her justice. If you don't have any of Aaliyah's albums, I'd recommend getting her first release than this one.

To light and chessy........2007-03-13

The only good song is back and forth the rest of the songs do not stand out they all sound very cheesy on this first cd she has no identity of her own if you want a great aaliyah album pick up her self titled 2000 release aaliyah she finally has a unique identity.

The beginning of my love for R&B began..........2007-01-25

With this cd. My first compact disc purchase when I was 14, due to the song "Back and Forth." I enjoyed Aaliyah's style and song interpretation, so when I bought this cd, I was amazed at her vocal talent. Taking aim at the Isley Brothers with her version "At Your Best(You are Love)", and completely updating it and acheiving kudos for it? At 15 years of age, not an easy task to acheive. I will forever listen to this cd, with rememberance of walking a mile to the local store to buy it, and turn me on to the wonderful world of R&B.

R.I.P MY ANGEL.......2006-09-09

Aaliyah the start of her (short lived) Dynasty.
There isnt more I can add that hasent been said.
She left us too soon.At your best is one of my favorite songs she ever did,and puts a smile on my face when ever I hear it.The fact that its a remake and it Sounds Just as great as the original(Done by Ron Isley)showd her talent at a early age!

R.I.P Baby girl,you will continue to live on through your Music.

Pop history teaches that posthumous releases generally fall into one of two categories. There's the creep-out, with eerie lyrics that appear to foreshadow the artist's demise (see Michael Hutchence's solo disc). And there's the cash-in: the label or management scrapes the barrel to turn a buck. Luckily, Aaliyah's I Care 4 U is neither. Serving as both a greatest hits collection and a summary of stuff she'd been working on before her death in August 2001, the disc is a keen reminder of just how talented the 22-year-old was as a singer and song stylist. Sure, it's easy to have rhythm aplenty when R. Kelly and Timbaland are guiding you, but Aaliyah's silken phrasings are her own, and her ability to unearth tenderness in even the funkiest jam is a testament to her vision of R&B as musical comfort food. Songs from her three studio albums are well represented. Among them are "I Care 4 U" and "More Than a Woman" from Aaliyah; the title track and "Got to Give It Up" from One in a Million; and "Back and Forth" and "At Your Best" from Age Ain't Nothing but a Number. Of course, the universally praiseworthy brand-new tracks--"Come Over," "All I Need," "Miss You," and "Don't Worry"--are the real goods. An accompanying DVD featuring a handful of videos and behind-the-scenes footage makes I Care 4 U crucial for fans. --Kim Hughes

Great cd/dvd...but be cautious!.......2006-04-30

This is a great cd, although I bought it for the dvd, which contains her music videos. This is definitely a must have for any Aaliyah collector. Definitely worth the money.

However be cautious. I ordered this and it was missing the dvd when I recieved it. The tracklist for it was included, but the dvd was gone. After a bit if digging, I found that there were many others that had the same problem. And there is nothing that Amazon can do about it because it is the product manufacturers fault. So i ordered it again and it included everything. There have also been people who got the dvd, but no cd. So keep this in mind when ordering (even though the chance of this occurring is small.

Just enough for the casual listener.......2006-04-14

Aaliyah's career was cut short due to a fatal plane crash in August 2001. "I care 4 U", released after her death is a mix of new material and old classics. The songs on this disc capture some of her most popular hits such as "Are you that somebody", "One in a million", and "Try again". Beyond the few hits on this disc, the remainder lack depth and creativity.

If you are seeking a light R&B experience, Aaliyah does the trick with her angelic vocals and soulful production (Missy Elliot & Timberland). However, this CD is not one of my favorites in this genre due to its repetitive nature and simply dull non-hit tracks.

Overall this an average listen and nothing more. If you are a fan of Aaliyah this will make a great addition to your collection.

A prelude to "Ultimate Aaliyah" (3.5 stars).......2006-04-11

You have to remember the timeframe to understand the reason for this album. Aaliyah had just passed and the string of incredible hits from her self-titled effort had started to wane. As a result, record execs thought it would be logical to release a half-hit/half-unreleased material to capture Aaliyah's greatest moments and bless them with new music. In theory, this strategy should work. But in practice, it doesn't always receive well and in Aaliyah's case, the response was lukewarm.

One of the biggest reasons for that response was the exclusion of hits. While most of them are here, three huge ones aren't ("If Your Girl Only Knew", "Rock The Boat", and "One I Gave My Heart To") as well as three minor ones ("4 Page Letter", "We Need A Resolution", and "I Don't Wanna"). That's 6 hits that SHOULD have been here, but I guess can't include them all if you are going for that marketing plan.

On the other hand, the unreleased material is very enjoyable. My favorites include: "Miss You" (Aaliyah's farewell anthem), "Come Over" (a sweet, syrupy ballad), and "Got To Give It Up" (remix). I would venture to say this material is BETTER than the album tracks from the self-title release. And that's saying a lot, given Aaliyah made a name off album tracks that should have been singles.

This disc was a quick compilation to accomodate Aaliyah's sudden tragedy. You can tell by its hurried release and exclusion of major hits. But there is some very good unreleased material. Therefore, I will say it's a good disc for die-hard fans, but a casual listener would be better off picking up "Ultimate Aaliyah".

Grade: C+/B-

We still Miss You Aaliyah.......2005-07-16

This album is a beautiful tribute to our beautiful baby girl. Fans will recognise some of the best most successful songs from Aaliyah's recording career and also six new and exciting tracks. Aaliyah's voice sounds amazing on every track regardless of the producer. Timbaland clearly emphasised Aaliyah's talent, but on the new tracks Aaliyah still manages to shine even when she is not collaborating with Timbaland. Miss You is very moving and it is clear that we will always remember this fine and respected artist who was a true star long before Beyonce was crazy in love and Ashanti was foolish We love you and we miss you. We care 4 U Aaliyah

Perfect.......2005-06-22

She would have done so much more had she lived, she kinda reminds me of Selena and Tupac idk why.

Amazon.com

The fourth in the series of Top 40-tracking compilations strikes a good balance between pop radio played-to-death singles, R&B standouts, and straight-up rock chart stormers. The beginning of the disc is packed with requisite teen pop; however, the Britney Spears offering "(You Drive Me) Crazy" will probably disappoint those who were hoping for the more recent "Oops!... I Did It Again"). This disc, where the Italian group Eiffel 65's dance-pop smash "Blue (Da Ba Dee)" lives in the same space as Blink 182's "All the Small Things," Ben Harper's "Steal My Kisses," and Macy Gray's "I Try," is like channel surfing during drive-time radio hours and scoring with every hit of the "seek" button. --Beth Massa

Now 4.......2007-02-15

Backstreet Boys - Larger Than Life: This was a great song to dance too at the club when it came out. A

Britney Spears - (You Drive Me) Crazy: This is my favorite Britney song of all time. Not only is the beat great but it makes me want to sing along. A+

Marc Anthony - I Need To Know: No I don't need to know and this song is just awful I always skip it when I listen to this cd. F-

Mandy Moore - Candy: Great song and great singer. I always did like Mandy Moore's music. A

Eiffel 65 - Blue: This song was awesome; that is all I can say. I loved the song and the music video. This is one of the best songs on the cd. A+

Sonique - It Feels So Good: It depends on my mood with this song. I like the singer but this song was overplayed. C

Lenny Kravitz - I Belong To You: This wasn't one of Lenny's best songs and this song was 2 years old at the time this was released but it is catchy none-the-less. B

Savage Garden - I Knew I Loved You: I liked this song; I danced to it at my wedding reception. It is very romantic. B+

Joe - I Wanna Know: Like the previous song, this is another romantic song that brings back memories. A-

Jennifer Lopez - Waiting For Tonight: This was a good hit for Jennifer. I have to admit the music video was better. B

Montell Jordan - Get It On Tonite: Please don't get it on tonite, this was the second song I didn't like on this cd. Even the music sounded bad. F

Ben Harper and the Innocent Criminals - Steal My Kisses: An average song, have no complaints. C

Train - Meet Virginia: I am not a big fan of Train but I did like this song. I liked it the first time I heard it. A-

blink-182 - All The Small Things: This was a great song. The beat and the way it went was good enough to buy the cd. A

Vol. 4.......2006-07-18

A step up indeed was Vol. 4 in the Now! series, for with this contribution we recieve almost an entire album of quality songs with very few 'skipable' tracks. Sadly, the first track is 'skipable'. The Backstreet Boys offered some very decent tracks on their sophmore album, but the single 'Larger than Life' was not one of them. It's regurgitating pop/shlop at it's worst and should be avoided at all costs. And to think they had so many good tracks on that one CD alone. Britney serves up a great pop song with Crazy, although the 'Stop' remix for the film was better. Marc Anthony has never been my favortie latin artist, but I have always loved 'I Need to Know' so despite my distaste for Anthony himself, I don't skip this track.

Superstar Mandy Moore, who at this day and age is better known for her acting than her singing, serves up her debut single 'Candy' here and shows us that pretty face aside this girl can sing too. Out of all the pop queen diva's, next to Christina of course, Mandy has the purist voice, deffinatly surpassing Britney and that 'shoot myself if I ever have to hear her sing another song' Jessica Simpson.

There are some questionmarks here and they come in the form of Eiffel 65 and Ben Harper and the Innocent Criminals, both of which turn out tracks here that are less than impressive. I never was a far on 'Blue' and until this disc had never heard of 'Steal KIsses' but neither track makes me want to listen. I label these 'Skipable'...

I actually like 'It Feels So Good' mostly becasue it's not average and while it takes a little getitng used to it's still worth the listen. Finally a Lenny Kravitz song I like!!! 'I Belong to You' is a great song and it really showcases Kravitz talent, talent I wasn't privy to until this song. Savage Garden was big with a lot of my girlfriends at the time (both platonic and romantic) and 'I Knew I Loved You' was truly one of the best...plus I have a special place in my heart for that track (some naughty things happened while that track was pumpin').

Some strong tracks by the late Aaliyah (RIP) and a killer track by Montel (love this guy) help round out this album, making it more about the music than any particular genre. And yes J. Lo delivers with 'Waiting for Tonight' which is one of the best dance songs out there, and while some hated it I absolutly loved Trains 'Meet Virginia' for it was our first chance to meet Trian and they are truly one great band. Even Macy is forgivable here for she adds something to this album that no other artist could have...and that's an air of toleration. Notice I didn't list her with the 'sucky' songs for even though I'm not a huge fan of her or 'I Try' I've always respected her talent for what it was even if I just didn't quite get it.

Blink closes us out with yet another great song, though a bit overplayed...but it's Blink and you have to love them. Great collection of the best the year had to offer. Yes some were missed, some great and some not so, but what was shared was still memerable and well worth the storage space.

"NOW 4"; Not 4 Everyone.......2005-04-08

I feel that the "Now That's What I Call Music!" series is one of the best things to happen to the music industry in quite some time. Especially in our age of illegal downloading; it provides a legal method to obtain great single without bankrupting your wallet. Ussually, the albums are well worth the purchase because they are solid collections of quality singles. That is not the case with "NOW 4"; one that is too much of a mixed bag. For every really good song, there is one that ranges from bad to average. Unfortunetly, the two types are scattered throughout (so we can't skip an entire section). The mixed bag of tracks:
(1) Backstreet Boys "Larger Than Life" A+. Commonly known for their ballads, the boys deliver a perfect dance number here. Everything is pumped up to create an energized, stormin' pop/rock track flowing with solid beats. You can't help getting caught up in the energy and excitment this gererates. One of 1999's best singles.
(2) Britney Spears "(You Drive Me) Crazy" C+. Fun beat and production, yet very shallow in the end. Sticks to memory afterwards, but after examination we realizie that the song is about nothing. Though it isn't terrible; there are many more songs out there which are more worthy of our time.
(3) Marc Anthony "I Need To Know" A. Simple content that is filled with so much energy, zest and excitment to make it work on all levels. Anthony shows himself to be a very versatile vocalist, and a person who can flow perfectly with his beats. The song is wisely on the short side, any longer could have ruined it. This is a true treasure of 1999.
(4) Mandy Moore "Candy" B+. The material doesn't have much in terms of depth, but Mandy brings enough flair and style to make it work. Her voice is effective as it gives a certain conviction and urgency to the lyrics. Not a brilliant "teen pop" song; just a very entertaining one.
(5) Eiffel 65 "Blue (Da Ba Dee)" B-. This song is very dificult to review. As intriuging as I find the lyrics and get mesmerized by the beat; I still wish the song would pull together and complete what it ventures into. Although it isn't a complete success; it is never boring.
(6) Sonique "It Feels So Good" D+. She sounds extremley high pitched, and the voice is so odd and strange, that the song is irreversably crippled by it. If there is any substance to the song; it becomes lost a muddled through out. This is an example of a dance song failing.
(7) Lenny Kravitz "I Belong To You" B+. It is rather refreshing to hear Lenny shed the massive beats, because that gives him the opprotunity to showcase his vocals. He sings this track with utter conviction and heart throughout. That gives the song a certain depth and emotion.
(8) Savage Garden "I Knew I Loved You" C. A well made song that just plays it safe, and never does anything new or exciting. The vocals are decent (beats are almost none-existent), but there is no real depth in them. In the end, the song lacks the impact that could have had from a better group (i.e. 98 Degrees, Backstreet Boys)
(9) Joe "I Wanna Know" B+. In contrast to many songs; this is a retro R&B track which works. The material is as old as time, yet Joe's classy, polished voice make it sound convincing and touching at all times. As they say: a very good singer can make an old song sound new; and that's what he does here.
(10) Aaliyah "Try Again" A-. There's a really nice undercut of hip-hop here, which gives the song alot of it's edge. Aaliyah's voice adds conviction to make the lyrics sound passionate, and add some depth to them. Proof that not all R&B has to be sad; you get completely wrapped up in Timbaland's production.
(11) Jennifer Lopez "Waiting For Tonight" B. Well made, but it doesn't fully display J. Lo's talents. It's catchy, fun and light, yet we know that the song could have been more than that. "On The 6" was her debut LP, and it seems average compared to her later albums, particularly "J. Lo".
(12) Montell Jordan "Get It On Tonite" C. His 1995 single, "This Is How We Do It" is a memorable R&B classic. Shame that the qualities that made that work (the slick vocals and beat) are all-together lacking here. What's left is a standard R&B tune with no life to it. A real step back for Montell Jordan.
(13) Ben Harper and The Innocent Criminals "Steal My Kisses" D. Their ungainly mix of R&B, funk and folk is a total failure. The beat has no impact, the lyrics have no substance and there is no impact or meaning at all. Strange that "NOW" would use such an odd mess.
(14) Smash Mouth "Then The Morning Comes" B-. The begining is so brilliant, original and different; I wish the song kept up that pace. It's not in the same league as "All Star", but still remains a solid pop/rock single. You can't help listening to the opening over and over.
(15) Train "Meet Virginia" C-. I really liked "Drops Of Jupiter" and "Calling All Angels"; those were rock tracks filled with emotion and power. I don't see any purpose to this song; the emotion isn't there and it's very uninvolving. I guess Train just had to find their skills.
(16) Macy Gray "I Try" B-. This is a beautifully written song with heartfelt lyrics, made unsuccessful by one factor: Macy's voice. Her voice is very weak and not very appealing, thus she detracts from the impact of her work. This song would be much better if someone else sung it.
(17) Hanson "This Time Around" D. It's not as irrating as "MMMBop" (few songs are), but there is nothing good about it either. All that the song does is cement the fact that Hanson was a talentless group. A very disposable song.
(18) blink-182 "All The Small Things" A-. A very good song that delivers everything we expect from blink-182. In fact, it even has more dimension and relevance than most of their music. It's short, but that helps create a nice, little breeze of a rock single. A good ending to a so-so album.
Bottom Line: **1/2. A real step backwards after the great heights that "NOW 3" was able to reach. I liked some of the songs, but I really could have done without a handful of them. Limp Bizkit's "Break Stuff", 98 Degrees' "I Do (Cherish You)", Q-Tip's "Vivrant Thing", Brian McKnight's "Stay Or Let It Go", Destiny's Child's "Say My Name" and Big Pun's "It's So Hard" all would have been better selection. I can not tell you to rush out and buy this, but put it on your wish list or hope for it as a gift.

The One/Hot Like Fire/Death.......2005-03-28

What a great combination of singles fit on one maxi-single! The first one, The One I Gave My Heart To, is phoenomenal and extraordinary. It tells of love being shot down. The vocals are so great and the lyrics are the jam. Hot Like Fire, telling of a major hottie, is fresh. The beats and ad-libs are great and the remixes(especially Feel Mah Horns) best suit Aaliyah's voice and the song. Just when you thought the maxi-single's album and remixes were over, Death, an unreleased track is a great slow-medium song. I love Aaliyah's raspy voice and I'll miss her foreva.

The One Song I Gave My Heart To ...............2003-09-26

In years, I had been listening to the album version of "The One I Gave My Heart To", and wondering when will I be able to find the single version again. Finally !! I got it !!
The vocal opening of this version is so touching, beautiful and make me remember passed love.
I keep listen to this single again and again. Aaliyah and Diane Warren combine, did a wonderful piece of music, which will last and be remembered --- just like old loves .......

We Miss You Baby Girl, But Thank You For This!.......2006-09-22

2001 was the year that music lost one of its finest R&B singers - Aaliyah, the exalted one. Not only was she an excellent singer, but she was also a promising actress, a beautiful, caring woman and -most noticeably- one of R&B's most influential icons. Stacks of artists, ranging from Missy Elliott to Brandy, have respectfully payed tribute to this gifted woman, which stand completely justified with her self-titled third album. Even after 5 long years, her blend of risk-taking R&B still sounds as fresh as it did back in 2001, loaded with classic gems and upbeat dance numbers that balance Aaliyah's smooth, soulful vocals with stellar production.

Highlights go to lead single "We Need A Resolution" -a sexy Aaliyah/Timbaland duet where her seductively smooth, lightly sinister vocals ride over Timbaland's eerily dark production as she sings thoughtful lyrics about struggling to find a resolution towards a faltering relationship-, "I Care 4 U" -a beautiful ballad where Aaliyah angelically empathizes for a broken-hearted man over a simplistic, slow groove- "Try Again" -a slinky, minimalist club banger where Timbaland's infectious, synthesizer-heavy production combine with Aaliyah's smooth vocals for another thoroughly enjoyable listen-, "Extra Smooth" -another slinky, minimalist club tune where Aaliyah gives the boot to a self-absorbed lover overly eager to please- and the lusty slow jam, "Rock The Boat". Other unavoidable cuts include "More Than A Woman", the anti-hater Aaliyah/Static duet "Loose Rap" and the infectiously sassy "U Got Nerve".

As expected, this album has its fair share of filler and/or unsuccessful genre experimentations. In this case, Aaliyah's forays into Heavy Metal & Latin on the Las Vages-esque guitar riff-craziness of "What If" & "Read Between The Lines", respectively, lack both the vocal force and emotional heft to keep the tracks rolling consistently. One moment which does work, however, is "I Can Be", where Aaliyah's vocals dance and twist around dark synthesizers and wicked guitar riffs while she sings about having no problem being another man's lady "on the side", even if she's capable of giving that same man more than what his front woman can.

Ultimately, Aaliyah's untimely passing is tragic, but the gift she left behind, which was this album, is anything but tragic. 4 stars!

N/B:
In response to critics and other individuals who believe that her death overshadows her music, I personally believe that such a statement is not true. It is not her death that makes us sympathize for her music, but her music that makes us remember and mourn for her after her death. Aaliyah was a truly gifted woman, and in her short-lived life, she blessed us with many things we, her true fans, will never forget. R.I.P. Bay Girl, R.I.P.

Also, some international versions and re-releases will include "Don't Know What To Tell Ya", "Erica Kane" & "I Miss You".

A RIP OFF.......2006-05-24

this 2004 Germany re-release of Aaliyah's 3rd self titled album SUCKS. It is copy protected. I can't put it onto my I pod. Music piracy is wrong but so is copy protection. If I wanted a way not to be able to put this album on my I pod, I would have bought the US Vinyl LP or cassette release. STOP COPY PROTECTION. RIP AALIYAH
