Cabaret belongs to Joel Grey

Advantages: One of the best musical scores ever; Joel Grey
Disadvantages: Not enough of the score...

...least six professional recordings of Cabaret available, this being the recording from the 1972 film version featuring Joel Grey and Liza Minelli. It isn’t the best of the recordings available – that is a toss-up between the original Broadway album and the studio recording featuring Maria Friedman and Jonathan Pryce among others; nor is it the cheapest – the London revival cast recording with Wayne Sleep is a snip at five pounds. ...
...on stage at the eponymous cabaret are included, and these are all accompanied by the small band one would expect to find in such an establishment. This does mean that the album is fairly short, only twelve tracks long, and that some of Cabaret’s best numbers are not included. This makes it an appalling choice if you want to buy something to remind you of the stage show, but it is a fine record of the film score and is an easier listen than ...

The one and only Streisand

Advantages: Great Music
Disadvantages: None

...a circle with the words Hello Dolly going around the edge of the circle. Of course you have the voice of a very young Micheal Crawford, but he did manage to sound quite reasonable and hasn't he improved with age. After seeing him in "Phantom of the Opera" who would have thought that the gawky boy in Hello Dolly would end up becoming such a renowned star of screen and stage. We also must not forget the wonderful Walter Matthau who played such a ...
...voice in the world. If you haven't seen the film that this soundtrack comes from (though I cannot think of anyone who hasn't), it is all set in New York City and Yonkers, New York. Barbra Streisand as Dolly Levi, the matchmaker who is trying to match up Walter Matthau (Horace Vandergelder) with a wife, but Dolly Levi ends up snaring Horace for herself, and at the same time manages to fix up two young couples - Michael Crawford/Marianne McAndrew ...

Madonna, not just the queen of pop.

Advantages: Lots of emotions and antonios Banderas voice
Disadvantages: Mostly slow songs, some depressing

This soundtrack and film shows a surprising amount of vocal talent for crowned quuen of pop. I have always been a fan but this is the other end of the spectrum formher usuall `holiday` and `whose that girl` days. Maddona shows that she can act a powerful role and hold a powerful and emotional tune which does Andrew Lloyd Webber proud. Every song is full of emotion, songs such as `you must love me`, another suitcase another hall and the classic ...
...get wrapped up inthe emotion and feel the triumph but sadness of the charecters. There is the slightly depressing `requiem for evita' but completely fitting for the film. We also have a sample of the lovely Antonia Banderas voice in ` oh what a circus, which he carries of with his lovely ancent, and makes a change from the other slow down beat songs. The albulm is full of well written songs which forms a well fiting soundtrack for the film. ...

This Is It ... The King Of Pop's Musical Legacy Lives On !!!

Advantages: A wonderful album featuring many of Michael Jackson's greatest hits and a few new surprises.
Disadvantages: Despite being a two disc CD the second disc only has three tracks ...

...a copy of Michael Jackson’s This Is It (having been to the cinema the night before to see the concert movie that the album itself is based on). For the last couple of hours I have been listening to the album whilst writing this review. I have never written a review of a music album before and, to be honest, was not entirely sure where to start !!! Many of you will be familiar with the music reviews written by XICripZ … now there’s a dude who (in ...
...album. I could never describe this album as well as I know he could because I simply don’t have his ear for music. I do, however, have a few ideas and my hope is that this review will … 1) Reveal some of my own thoughts about Michael Jackson 2) Shed a little light on to the story behind the creation of the album itself 3) Provide information about the tracks included on this album 4) Allow me to share my initial feelings having just listened ...
