comedies, complete with one of the Bard's funniest and toughest heroines, Rosalind. Based on Thomas Lodge's Elizabethan novel Rosalynde, As You Like It follows the discontented Orlando as he is exiled from the tyrannical French court of Duke Frederick. By chance Frederick also banishes Rosalind, daughter of the usurped Duke Senior. The play then moves to the Forest of Arden, where chaos and misrule ensue, as Rosalind cross dresses "all points like a man", disguised as the saucy Ganymede and encourages the naive Orlando to "woo me, woo me, for now I am in a holiday humour". Meanwhile her clown Touchstone causes hilarity and havoc amongst the exiled lords and the pastoral inhabitants of the forest. The play concludes with Rosalind's extraordinary "unmasking" Epilogue addressed to the audience, where she offers to "kiss as many of you as had beards that pleased me". As You Like It remains one of Shakespeare's most popular comedies, yet it is also appreciated by critics for its complex exploration of cross dressing and sexual politics, and its interest in relations between the country and the city. --Jerry Brotton
Advantages: Brilliant songs and track quality. Disadvantages: Might get on you nerves if you dislike the music style.
...CD a while ago and Im addicted to it! I especially love the songs Headstrong and He Said She Said.
A brilliant album for teenagers everywhere. It has a very up-tempo pop theme like many other artist's but it is also very unique.
Ashley Tisdale is a brilliant singer and her music is the type you can listen to over and over agin and never really get bored of it. Also the lyrics to them are very good and they make you just want to sing along.
The sound quality on this CD is excellent and the pictures (on the front etc) are professional and good quality too.
However, if you don't really likeAshley's style this CD would get on your nerves a lot.
I'd rate Ashley Tisdale- Headstrong 5-stars and I highly reccomend it....

Advantages: great lyrics, rhythms and vocals Disadvantages: some people don't like the tone of her voice
...Ashley Tisdale showed us her talent in High School Musical. Now with her very first album she really hits the stage. This album is great filled with excellent songs all for a wide audience. This would be an ideal gift to a child or pre-teen, but adults would like it too! The genre is pop music and songs are catchy and meaningful.
A great buy!
One of my favourite songs in the album is called 'Headstrong'. The song has a really good strong beat to it and the vocals are excellent. I got hooked when I first listened to the song!
More of my favourite songs are called Be Good to me and He said she Said. As Ashley is still hound she has a lot ahead of her. The two songs I just mentioned are really catchy. The electronic beats make the song much more easy to listen to and the extra vocals work well with the song. They do not have...

Advantages: A Brilliant Compilation Disadvantages: One CD is enough
...Theis is an excellent introduction to the pioneers of folk rock in Britain. Fairport are still going strong today , (with a much changed line up) and are still releasing albums and hosting the Annual Cropredy festival which is documented in another three CD set available.
This compilations covers the years 1969 and features a nicely produced family tree inlay.
Some of the names are Richard Thompson, Sandy Denny , AshleyHutchings, and Dave Swarbrick which may be familiar .
Stand out tracks include the ten minute Sailors Life featuring a guitar / fidle duel/duet between Swarbrick and Thompson, Matty Groves, Sloth and the beautiful Who Knows Where the Time Goes featuring Sandy Denny.
This is now available on mid price and should make you want to at least check out all their other albums.
This hAs been since superceded by Meet...
