Having just viewed Challenge Anneka having recorded it earlier on Sky+. I went onto iTunes and bought this fantastic charity album.

Anyone who saw this programme on ITV1 cannot have failed to be emotional.

In this challenge Anneka had five days to find 11 singers to record songs from the musicals, arrange a recording studio and appoint a record producer. She also had to arrange a gala concert for the children to sing at, accompanied by an orchestra.

The songs/artists are:

1: Somewhere over the Rainbow ~~ Duncan James & Mylene Klass
2: You\'re the one that I want ~~ McFly
3: Fly me to the moon ~~ Jimmy Osmond
4: The way you look tonight ~~ Curtis Stigers
5: Climb every mountain ~~ Lesley Garret
6: No matter what ~~ Andrea Ross
7: Consider yourself ~~ Richard Fleeshman & cast of Avenue Q
8: Secret Love ~~Cerys Matthews
9: Young at Heart ~~ Gavin Creel
10: I didn\'t know how to love him ~~ Bonnie Tyler
11: The time of my life ~~ Jermaine Jackson & Jocelyn Brown
12: New York New York ~~ Michael Bolton
13: Talk through me ~~ Jo Collins & The Chicken Shed Choir.

The money from this CD goes towards helping children from 40 hospices around the United Kingdom.

Please, please consider buying this album for yourself and while your at it buy one as a gift and help this worthwile cause. The cost on itunes is £7.90.

If you are looking for it in the shops the cover is very distinctive. The background colour is white with a large multicoloured butterfly on it. The title "Over The Rainbow" is printed at the top of the cover.

The CD is (p) 2007 Universal Classics & Jazz
