Forever My Love - Freddie McGregor

Advantages: Good variety of songs
Disadvantages: Doesn't contain Like a Virgin

...I bought this CD after watching the film countless times and being astounded by the music featured. The soundtrack contains almost every song from the film, apart from Like A Virgin by Zidler, which I must say is most disappointing. However, all the other songs make up for that. It includes all the duets between Ewan McGregor and Nicole Kidman and what fantastic voices they both have! The Elephant Love Medley and Come What May are the definite show grabbers. Your Song my Ewan McGregor is also on it and you can appreciate the emotion from just listening as you can from watching the film. It doesn't just only contain the show songs, but also had tunes from Fat Boy Slim and Beck. There are a few strange song however, including two mixes of David Bowie's Nature Boy and a french ballad from Rufus Wainwright. You also can't help but laugh... Read review

Advantages: let's you relive the film, 10 outstanding tracks, Ewan McGregor and Nicole Kidman singing...you won't find that on any other album...yet!
Disadvantages: Some tracks don't fit in (Diamond dogs, Rhythm of the Night) and Lady Marmalade sounds like it's being sung by a cat's choir

...For those who had the (mis)fortune to read my ranting (probably rabid) view on the film, you may have gathered that I enjoyed the film immensely. It didn't take me long to decide that the soundtrack was definitely on my shopping list as soon as I received my first pay check (yes folks I now have a REAL job!) but my kind sister bought it for me before that event occurred! It was a bargain at £10 and, well, I'm pretty glad my sis purchased it for me. The film, for those who don't know, is a spectacular musical extravaganza, featuring the singing voices of many of its stars (Ewan McGregor and Nicole Kidman being the most notable among others) and the songs combined the lyrics from many contemporary classics such as Elton John's 'You Song', Madonna's 'Material Girl', U2's 'Pride(in the name of love)', Nirvana's 'Smells like Teen Spirit...

Advantages: Excellent and raw. You will not want to stop playing it.
Disadvantages: The only problem about it is the cover

...I remember listening to this album when my wife brought it home. She raved that it was really good so she put it on. Wow is all I can say! Very funky and full of soul. This album was definitely to do with John Deacon. The lyrics and Freddie's range of vocals on Cool Cat was brilliant. Freddie will be forever remembered for this, though a lot of fans wouldn't agree. Listen and learn! If you like funk and soul you will love it! The only thing that I had a problem with was the cover. If you can see past that, you will be swept of your feet. Very fast and toe-tapping. David Bowie sounds good on Under Pressure and pretty much at his best. If you only buy one album, buy this one: You won't be disoppointed!... Read review
