Advantages: Songs, mix/range of artists Disadvantages: None
I love this CD. The songs may be over five years old now, but I think that they stand the test of time (in my lifetime anyway). The songs released nowadays under the "dance" genre all sound the same with no originality and are all about the same sort of stuff. I'll start off talking about CD One.
There is a range of different artists on here including Kylie Minogue, Justin Timberlake, Kelis, Blue, Atomic Kitten & Jamelia. I like how not all of the songs have been remixed and edited, and how most of the songs by the artists are the "originials". I don't like MC Jig's version of the Cha Cha Slide. It lacks the bounciness DJ Casper's had, and it doesn't feel right to try and do the Cha Cha Slide to it either. All in all, the first CD is good but not my favourite. I love CD Two!!
I find CD Two is the disc to switch on if you're having ...
Advantages: A good all round mix Disadvantages: You may end up getting off your bum and jiving!
My daughter is at that age where she loves to know all the latest dances so when I saw this advertised on television last year I knew it would be perfect for her.
It is advertised as the complete party package as not only does it have 25 songs on a CD, but an extra DVD disc that shows you the dances to 8 of the most popular party songs. Also included in this are 11 Karaoke tracks.
The cover is bright and alluring. The lettering is bold 3D in an array of colours to catch your eye. A group of people dressed in all types of uniform doing the conga gives it a good party feel even before you play it.

A GREAT SOUNDTRACK
I love the film "Save the Last Dance" which stars Julia Stiles and Sean Patrick Thomas as star crossed lovers trying to have a multi-cultural relationship much to the disgust of their peers. Their relationship begins through a mutual love of dance, although their ideas of what constitutes good dancing are entirely different. In the film, Thomas's character teaches Julia's how to appreciate and move to r & b and hip-hop music and the soundtrack of the film reflects this. Which is one of the reasons why it is one of the few soundtracks I actually own and love.
THE GREAT TUNES
The album opens with "Shining Through", the theme-tune to the film. This features rapper Fredro Starr and soul singer Jill Scott and samples the Cyndi Lauper hit from the eighties with the same name, combining this with Starr's rap which is ...
