Mamma Mia (The Movie Soundtrack) - Various Artists

...decided to buy me the Mamma Mia movie soundtrack CD. I secretly suspect that they really wanted it for themselves and this was just a good way of getting it! This was an excellent present for me though as, having recently watched and absolutely loved the film, I have found myself singing all the songs around the house. Listening to the CD really does bring back that feel good factor I got when I was watching the film. Just for the few uninitiated ...
...ABBA faithfuls are included - Mamma Mia (Meryl Streep), Gimme! Gimme! Gimme! (Amanda Seyfried, Ashley Lilley and Rachel McDowell), SOS (Pierce Brosnan and Meryl Streep) and Take a Chance on Me (Julie Walters, Stellan Skarsgard, Colin Firth, Christine Baranski and Philip Michael) to name but a few. As it is the actors from the film singing all of these songs they are not perfect (and let's face it a lot has been said about Pierce Brosnan's singing!) ...

...great cover. 3. Mamma Mia - Meryl Streep (****) I'll try my best not to go on about how strong Streep's voice is! But this is another great cover of the original. The title of the film itself, and it accompanies quite a humourous part in the movie itself. Meryl Streep puts so much feeling into every sung word. 4. Dancing Queen - Meryl Streep, Julie Walters, Christine Baranski (***) Everyone knows this song, and so to many Abba fans, i guess it ...
...song, well the whole album, would be murdered. However, i really think they've done it justice, as long as you don't take the whole album too seriously! 5. Our Last Summer - Colin Firth, Pierce Brosnan, & Stellan Skarsgard (*) Okay, this is a bit cringeworthy! But like i've just said, this is NOT to be taken seriously. I do tend to skip past this song. Especially the way Colin Firth pronunces 'Sand' as 'Saiind' to almost rhyme with 'rain' and 'remain' ...

...Honey, Money, Money, Money, Mamma Mia, Dancing Queen, Our Last Summer, Lay All Your Love On Me, Super Trouper, Gimme! Gimme! Gimme, Voulez-Vous, SOS, I Have A Dream / Thank You For The Music and many more besides that are sung by the all star cast. The favourite song on the album has to be Dancing Queen and i have to say i was pleasantly suprised about the vocal talent of Meryl Streep as i have only ever seen her act and her singing was great. ...
...toes to the music this is definately one for you, i on the other hand thinking that the music was ok would not recommend it to those that were not overally impressed. But on the other hand my nan cannot stop playing it so i think it has very mixed reviews. ...

After seeing the film Mamma Mia all I could do for the next few days was sing the songs and dance around the house, so I had to go out and buy the cd and it has proven to be my favourite cd of the last couple of years. The songs, like the film, are catchy and uplifting. Any Abba fan should be proud that such a great cast managed to sing the tunes with such feeling and power, enough to make this flawless cd. A non-Abba fan myself, I have been converted ...
...about the room to. Any Mamma Mia fan who loved the film will love this cd and not be able to take it out of the player. It promises to help you re-live the film in your car, in the kitchen, in your living room or wherever! And an added bonus that many cds do not have these days is lyrics in the cover sleeve, what more could you want?! ...

Review of Mamma Mia (The Movie Soundtrack) - Various Artists

Mamma mia brought the Abba to the silver screen, introducing up and coming star Amanda Seyfried alongside Marilyn Streep and Pierce Brosnan. THe soundrtrack has been mixed, mastered and produced by the Abba musical geniuses Benny Andersson and Bjorn Ulvaes, and it is a great soundtrack. Everyone that really love Abba should buy this soundtrack album, that contains songs sung by Amanda Seyfried or the same mamma mia, sung by Marilyn Streep. The same ...
...she sing in pair with Amanda in the song Slipping Through My Fingers. Many people consider this musical one of the best ever rapresented and they told it is very funny and enjoyable. Music has been considered superb by the reader's comment into a web site I visited, and I do agree with this point of view. I heard the album and I have to admit it is a classical musical, with the typical schemes that always we imagine into a good musical. All in ...

I went to see the film and loved it so decided i needed the soundtrack, when i got it i was not dissapointed because it reminds me of the film and is a great sing a long CD for anyone, you don't even have to be a big ABBA fan to enjoy listening to the soundtrack. i do think though that you would enjoy it more having seen the film as an understanding of the songs helps. ...

Review of Mamma Mia (The Movie Soundtrack) - Various Artists

This is a great soundtrack, a good variation of singers, and the actors aren't that bad at singing. Anybody who hasn't seen the film and is thinking of buying the soundtrack should realise that the film is very comical and therefore you can tell that the actors are not taking themselves seriously! I have been listening to this soundtrack all week, since I bought it and can't get enough of it! The only disadvantage to the album is that it features ...

The soundtrack is a fabulous way to bring back the memories from the film which was set in idllyic Greece. The songs are lively, and the young girls voice is lovely to listen to. All actors try to live up to the voices of the Band Abba, but add there own sense of fun to the songs! It really brings Abba back to life and I would recommend it for anyone who used to or still loves Abba. The cover of the album provides you with the idea of what you are ...

After going to see Mamma Mia in the cinema, and spending the majority of the film dancing and singing with my friends, I decided that to not buy the soundtrack would be almost a crime. And boy, am I glad I splashed out on this one! It's FANTASTIC! There's an amazing mix of classic ABBA songs, ranging from Honey, Honey to Dancing Queen. Meryl Streep's voice is amazing, and the whole cast manage to fantastically portray the energy behind the film, ...
