The Greatest Greatest Hits Album

Advantages: Great tracks old and new
Disadvantages: None

...has to be Whitney, The Greatest Hits! Just a little background on the queen of pop herself incase you haven't heard of her: Whitney Houston was born on August 9th, 1963 and is an extremely successful recording artist and actress. She comes from a very successful family and upbringing, her aunt is Dionne Warwick and her godmother is Aretha Franklin. Music was in the blood and she starting singing gospel music in her local church at aged 11. In the ...
...I tend to think that greatest hits albums are a waste of money because if you have all the artists other CD's you probably have most of the tracks anyway but this album is well worth it. It's the one place where you can get all her old classics, as well as new songs and some funky duets. The album comes as a double CD but if you get the DVD version you also get music videos of past hits, live performances and interviews. The music videos are great ...

Review of Greatest Hits - Whitney Houston

lets make lurve

Advantages: love
Disadvantages: comedy

This is the kind of cd you put on when you want to play some mock parody of a 70s porn film with your girlfriend. It is comical but also cult listening. The tunes just get your loins moving and are inherently ‘groovy’. His voice is gut churning but in some way also melodic. The opening 5 tunes are very good and the album tales off a bit after that. The only things which are a bit stupid are the cheesy monologues at the beginning, otherwise this is ...

Review of Greatest Hits Vol.2 - Barry White

Day26 - Another Bad Boy artist poorly promoted!

Advantages: Some great songs from a new male rnb group
Disadvantages: Quite a few weak tracks on the album

For those of you who have never heard of Day26 let me give you a quick introduction. In America P. Diddy has a programme called Making The Band. The first series created a pop boy band called O-Town. The second series created a mixed rnb group called Da Band. The third and most successful series created Danity Kane. And finally the fourth series created Day26 and a solo artist called Donnie Klang. To date Danity Kane have been the most successful ...
...album, called "Day26" managed to get number one in the US. However over in the UK we hear nothing about them apart from rarely seeing one of there music videos every once in a while on MTV. They broadcast the show Making the Band in the UK so i don't understand why they don't release the albums over here. The album has 14 tracks on it and the genre of music they fall into is rnb/soul. 1) I'm The Reason - The opening track of the album. A great upbeat ...

Review of Day 26 - Day 26

DONT READ! TO BE DELETED!

Advantages: heavy tunes
Disadvantages: feeling older than what you actually are

I have always liked a couple of Roberta Flack tunes and thought she is a great performer and when i saw this album advertised on tv, i couldnt believe it! Obviously you only hear a few of the tunes, but what i heard really made me want to go out and buy this one. It has some lovely ballads and i always find that with a lot of older tunes, they can really get to you and make you feel funny . Now this probably sounds really sad coming from a 23 year ...
...to be the next album i purchase and i have no qualms blasting her tunes out and for once the neighbours probably wont moan about the noise as it is from their era and they will love it!!! Hopefully i share the opinion of alot of my generation as this album is cool!!!! ( probably cause i'm a bird though ) I HAVE ALREADY BEEN TOLD THERE IS NO POINT WRITING ABOUT SOEMTHING B4 I HAVE BOUGHT IT, SO NO NEED FOR ANYONE ELSE TO TELL ME. JUST IGNORE THIS ...

Review of Softly With These Songs (The Best Of Roberta Flack) [Remastered] - Roberta Flack

Rudolph The Funky-Soul Reindeer? It Gotsta Be Boosty, Baby

Advantages: The Funk
Disadvantages: Few songs sound 'Christmas'y'

...2006 and came as a Christmas album from Funk legend Bootsy Collins (known for his work as a bassist in The J.B.'s, Funkadelic, Parliamnet and Boosty Collins' Rubber Band). It finds him bringing his own P-Funk twist on a variety of Christmas hits in that style as well as Hip Hop and Soul as we get him producing and singing with guest appearances from Gary Shider, Fred Wesley, Bernie Worrell and Snoop Dogg. 1.“N-Yo-City” Starting the album we see that ...
...**Four Stars** 2.“Merry Christmas Baby” Here we find that we get a track that brings the Funk out in a way that you really wouldn't have ben able to anticipate (even with the introductory cut) as we see that here we have synth joining some live instrumental bass work from his brother Catfish Collins, and Boosty himself makes his first apparent on the record by coming to deliver a fly hook and half-developed verses that take you back to the times ...
