Sings Vangelis - GioAria

The last hurrah for Sing-Sing

Advantages: A decent mixture of tunes
Disadvantages: They only made 2 albums

Sing-Sing were formed in 1997 after Emma Anderson left Lush & was joined by singer Lisa O'Neill (who appears to have had no life prior to the formation of this group at all), the group existed as 2 members but with other musicians who joined them for live performances. Anderson wrote the songs, played guitars (all of them) but O'Neill mostly sang but did write 5 songs on this album and co-wrote one too. Sing-Sing started out releasing EPs much in the same way as Lush but had a much smaller fanbase, they struggled with record companies working their way through Bella Union, Sanctuary Records and Poptones before creating Aerial which was their own label and it took fan power to keep the band financially stable enough to record this which was their 2nd and final album which had taken 4 years to come to fruition.

Review of Sing Sing And I [ECD] - Sing-Sing

The Singing Detective

Advantages: Different and very entertaining.
Disadvantages: None.

I came across this movie while searching through my brother's DVD collection and was quite interested as I had watched the T.V. series ' The singing Detective ' by Dennis Potter (which I thought was brilliant ) I did'nt know it had been made into a movie and on seeing that Robert Downey Jr was playing the lead role among some other good actors I thought it was worth borrowing. Although based on the TV series of the same name and the same storyline there are a few differences.................. The TV series is set in 1940's London with a big band music theme whereas the Movie is set in 1950's America with a Rock 'n' Roll musical theme ! Dan Dark (Robert Downey Jr.) is a successful writer, who writes fictional detective stories, but his life and his writing has come to a bit of a standstill when he is admitted to hospital ...

Review of The Singing Detective (DVD)

HSM Wii - Fun singing game

Advantages: Fun for young girls
Disadvantages: Pricey, Will lose its appeal

Well what can i say? You have to be a huge High school musical fan to buy this or the person your buying for must be. You must have really seen both films and know some of the songs and characters. This game was brought for my daughter for Christmas, i personally would not have gone out and brought it myself because before Christmas i thought it was over priced at £39.99 - £49.99 as it was retailing for. Its currently at £29.99 on game which would have been a better price for me to have considered. The game is basically Karaoke singing and some dancing. You choose which character you want to play and which song you wish to sing and away you go. You need to follow the song to the words and the correct time and speed, if you do this you get a better score. You can also play in solo mode or Duet mode, i find duet mode more fun. Some ...
