Karaoke - Teen Idols - Various Artists

pop idols reunited

Advantages: The welcome return of some faces.
Disadvantages: The not so welcome return of others.

After the intial wave of attacks on the public's senses with the television programme, singles, tour and countless column inches in the press the Pop Idols and Simon Cowell began their latest money-making venture on Moday with the release of the first album, Pop Idol The Big Band Album. The choice of album I suppose was fairly obvious after the success Robbie Williams enjoyed recently with his Swing When You're Winning album. However the title does worry me slightly, I mean is the public supposed to also lap up, "Pop Idol The Abba Album" and "Pop Idol The Judges Choice Album", as well as countless others or is this a one off album just to quench the public's thirst? I suppose that the answer to that will lie in the success of this first album. After all the negative publicity which Pop Idol has generated concerning the treatment ...

Personally, my 'Idols' are the songwriters...

Advantages: Fantastic songs and a great orchestra
Disadvantages: Some of the 'Idols' ae obviously unused to this sort of music

Who'd have thought a year ago that I could have in my possession two Number 1 albums of big band music? Maybe the world is at last discovering how great these songs are, but I have to say I was a lot more sceptical about buying a CD which said 'Pop Idol' than 'Robbie Williams.' And no, this isn't as good as Swing When You're Winning, but it's still a great album. I don't think Pop Idol needs any introduction, even if, like me, you were one of the three people who didn't actually watch it. This is the first album spun out of the project - I'm told the big band round was one of the most popular. It features ten bright young things singing thirteen bright old songs, some of (in my opinion, of course, though I'm not alone) the best songs ever written: Let There Be Love Ev'ry Time We Say Goodbye I've Got You ...

Sing Song Fun, 2001!!!

Advantages: great to practice singing or for parties!
Disadvantages: Might not be popular with the nieghbours!

Karaoke is great fun for all and this Karaoke CD is great for any party or you could use it as a backing track for an audition. The good thing about this CD is that it has a mixture of classic songs from 2001 and if you don't know the words, know need to panic as it comes with all the lyrics! Here is a song list and bit of information about each group and singer! I have tried to provide with as much as I can, hopefully this will help you get a sense of the songs available on the CD. 1.Pure & Simple: This song is a cheesy pop song! Great for a group number! Group: By Hear Say the pop group formed from the first ever Pop Stars TV programme, the group was made up of Kym Marsh, Suzanne Shaw, Myleene Klass, Danny Foster And Noel Suluvian. The band has since spilt but this is still a classic pop song! Kym Marsh has since ...
