Luton Girls' Choir - Luton Girls Choir

Advantages: Sublime
Disadvantages: None

...When I say that my grandmother's maiden name was Davies, and that she was the last person in the family who had any understanding of the Welsh language, you will probably understand why I love Welsh choral music so much. Well, apart from the fact that Wales is truly the land of song, with the best history of choral music in the entire world., that is! This CD (produced by EMI and Music for Pleasure) has a wide range of Welsh Male voice Choirs from all over Wales. The competition between the different choirs and indeed the different parts of Wales are fiercely competitive. But the strong, intense rivalry is always friendly. Well, MOST of the time, that is!

This is a CD that I play quite often and enjoy every time. The Tracks on this CD: 1) Sailing 2) Abide With Me 3) Jerusalem 4) Land... Read review

Advantages: The ultimate pop songs by the ultimate pop band!
Disadvantages: I'm a bit tired of Nadine singing EVERYTHING

...Back in the Summer of 2002 something special was happening; something that would have massive repercussions for the music industry and the future of reality TV; ten beautiful girls and ten moderately attractive boys were battling it out in a London studio in front of three famous music industry insiders for the chance of winning a music contract and achieving worldwide fame. Now, put like this, it might not seem like the most exciting prospect in the world but it was this show that not only eventually launched the most successful girlband since the Spice Girls, but it was also their success that proved to all the doubters who had, erm, doubted the significance and credibility of reality TV since the sad flop that was Hear'Say that televised talent shows would, and could, generate talent, longevity and music worth listening...
