multivolume Quintessential Billie Holiday umbrella, this package goes straight for the love songs, the heart of Holiday. Ranging from such playful lyrics as "Let's Do It" and "Them There Eyes" to such essential Holiday as "You Go to My Head", "The Very Thought of You" and "Easy Living", this set is guaranteed to keep the home fires burning brightly. Lay this one on your lover next Valentine's Day. As was so frequently the case with Holiday, the ensemble support is impeccable, including many of the swingers from Columbia's Greatest Hits package. The bonus here is Count Basie on piano, leading his swinging big band on "They Can't Take That Away from Me". --Willard Jenkins

Advantages: matured and nice songs Disadvantages: none
...Billie the kid? Well this kid has produce songs like do you have a girlfriend, what the hell is that about? It was like a very baby-ish song. She recently turned 18 and definitely matured and her songs reflect that. She has got a good singing voice but I think the songs that she sings are not that good but they are ok to listen to. It is rumored that she is going to get a role in a film, another pop star going in to acting but will she be successful?...

Advantages: Gorgeous song + video Disadvantages: She looks bad on the cover
...This is a fantastic song that's infectiously catchy, fantastically gorgeous and really shows off Billie's voice. It was really different from her previous material but was still the best thing she's released. The acoustic version is lovely and the Delakato Mix isn't bad either, despite the fact I'm not the biggest fan of mixes on CD singles. It includes the video which I always love, and this video is a fantastic one! The cover of it unfortunately makes Billie look unflattering, and the colour schem on the CD isn't particularly pleasant either. Other than that the quality of what's on this CD is amazing!...

Advantages: Most of the songs are very good Disadvantages: Some song that are not good, Bad connections with some songs
...I had never been a fan of Billy Talent, the first songs I hured from them was the song Red Flag I did like this song but I did not know if Billy Talent was any good. I was searching for music to put on my Ipod so I went and bought this cd I am very impressed with it so far.
The band Billy Talent is a very high quality band. I also am a very big fan of the style of music that they sing so that is properly why I like them so much. I first enjoyed this cd so much that It was the only thing that I would listen to responsibly because there are so much good songs such as Surrender and Covered In Cowardice.
The high quality of the band is not what I expected from them I did not know what to expect but I did not expect what I hured which is very good. Just the other day I wanted to find some songs from Billy Talent that I had not hured before...
