3 out of 5 stars too much of the same.......2007-06-30

This album has some catchy tunes for sure. But the problem is that most of the songs start to meld and sound the same. I understand that each group strives to attain a particular unique sound. But there's nothing new under the sun, everything is just being reinvented. The title track "Move Along" has been so over-played on the radio that anyone would be ready to tune it out after the 200th time it seems you're hearing it. "It Ends Tonight" just comes across as whining and not a great song. After listening to this album, I can't say any particular track especially stands out. To me that would not seem to be a good thing. I think AAR needs to diversify their sound a bit. The lyrics aren't terrible, but nothing spectacular either. I would say this album is just ok. Overall score: 6.7 out of 10.

4 out of 5 stars Excellent Rock Album.......2007-05-25

I am not usually a fan of this genre of rock, but boy am I a fan of this album! Every song has a catchy tune and even catchier (sometimes tongue-in-cheek) lyrics. This is one of those albums that you want to pop into your car, put the top down, and cruise along while singing along at the top of your voice. Exhilaratingly enjoyable music!

5 out of 5 stars amazing!.......2007-05-16

There were few albums that I liked instantly. But "Move Along" is just awesome!
If you don't have it yet, get their first album The All-American Rejects, too! It's just as good!

1 out of 5 stars ALOT OF CRYING.......2007-05-14

I WAS DISAPOINTED IN THIS ALBUM. ESPECIALLY FROM A GOOD BAND SUCH AS THIS. I REALLY ONLY FOUND TWO SONGS ON THE WHOLE CD THAT WERE WORTH PUTTING ON TO MY I-POD "IT ENDS TONIGHT" AND "MOVE ALONG". AS FOR THE OTHER SONGS I THOUGHT THEY WERE VERY "CRY BABY". THEY ALL SOUNDED PRETTY MUCH THE SAME AS FOR BEING MAD AT SOME GIRL FOR EITHER DUMPING THEM OR CHEATING ON THEM. SO I WAS DISSAPOINTED TO HEAR ALL THESE WHINNY SONGS.

Picking a primary gripe about Disney's Move It is easy: In the post-Madagascar landscape of 2005, the infectious dance tune "I Like to Move It," first popularized by K.K. Project in 2002, is conspicuously, disappointingly absent. However, birthday-party booty-shakers will have forgotten their allegiance to K.K. Project's song; when Baha Men instruct them in their watered-down way to "Move It Like This." Standbys "Macarana," "U Can't Touch This," "Le Freak," "Kung Fu Fighting," and "I Got You (I Feel Good)" supply Mom ample cause to move it, too. --Tammy La Gorce

Former pro surfer Donavon Frankenreiter rides a new wave on his sophomore effort. A change in labels from mentor Jack Johnson's Brushfire to Lost Highway finds the bearded, long-haired, doe-eyed singer/songwriter channeling his inner Talking Book-era Steve Wonder on this occasionally funky and consistently engaging keyboard-dominated album. His dreamy, near-falsetto voice floats through these soulful slices of pop perfection. The low-boil funk and nonchalant vocals sometimes recall Curtis Mayfield or Boz Scaggs in their casual, yet distinctive approach. An offhand natural warmth oozes from this recording that finds the singer and his band tapping an earthy groove. Nothing seems rushed or forced, as the musicians lock into the sunshiny, blue-eyed, melodic R&B vibe. A few more upbeat cuts like the irresistible title track and the riff-driven "That's Too Bad" might have added more supple firepower, but even the ballads connect with a rootsy low-key charm. Frankenreiter hasn't entirely forsaken his tropical beach-boy charm, as shown by the closing "Beautiful Day," but Move by Yourself is a refreshing twist that proves the artist is far more than a surf bum who picked up music to occupy his downtime on a rainy day. --Hal Horowitz

4 out of 5 stars GOOD MELLOW TUNES.......2007-06-28

This is my first Donavan CD and I am in love with the soft mellow tunes that you could just sit and relax to. This will be the first of several cd's that I will purchase by him.

5 out of 5 stars Chill and Funky.......2007-01-20

Chill and Funky... what elese is there to say? Perfect for a sunny afternoon hangin out, driving, relaxing. Donavon keeps getting better and better. Can't wait for the next one.

4 out of 5 stars Good album.......2007-01-20

In my opinion, the most beautiful song is "The way it is" and reminds me Barry White's earlier groovy compositions.

4 out of 5 stars Frankenreiter didn't disappoint.......2007-01-03

This is a bit of the 70's groovy music beat...but his soothing voice still comes through. I liked this one due to his voice and tone, but prefer his more folkish beats in other of his albums.

5 out of 5 stars Awesome!!.......2007-01-01

Love it!!! Can't speak to the technical side like some of the other reviewers but just listening to the album makes me happy, it's nice and mellow and if you love Jack Johnson (like I do) then you will also love this album! Can't wait for more!!!

DG has put together a fascinating compilation of Segovia's art that reminds us what a protean figure he was. Segovia single-handedly put the instrument on the map by making classical guitar concerts popular events, broadening the instrument's repertory through commissions and transcriptions, and convincing even doubters that it could be a vehicle for serious music. He's heard here in brief pieces recorded between 1952 and 1969. Even in those made when he was well into his 70s, his fingers remain nimble and interpretations lively. Listening straight through, one hears many all-time Segovia favorites as Turina's Sevillana and Albeniz's Asturias and Zambra Granadina and renews appreciation for path-breaking composers like Castelnuovo-Tedesco. He wrote extensively for Segovia and his Capriccio diabolico and Tonadilla are pieces of real substance. Disc two is largely made up transcriptions and it's amazing how well so many of them work on the guitar, at least under Segovia's magic fingers. Thus the transformations of Bach's violin music and even a Chopin Prelude sound idiomatic, and the gorgeous melodies of the Canzonetta from Mendelssohn's Op. 12 String Quartet are irresistible here. An entrancing set. --Dan Davis

5 out of 5 stars A Man and His Art - Magnificently Captured.......2007-04-06

This 2-CD set produced by Deutche Grammmophon and first released in 2002 is one set of the hundreds that could have been or the dozens that actually have been made and sold successfully all over the world. The exceptional feature of this particular collection is not, of course, the performer. Quite to the contrary, the miraculous consistency of stylings and performance are amongst the most remarkable aspects of the man who was, arguably, the 20th Centry's virtuoso supreme of the classical guitar, Andres Segovia (1893-1987.) Rather, it is the collection itself - the pieces chosen to be produced on this one set - this, to steal a German word, gestalt. While his style did not remain constant throughout his long life and career, by the time he had developed his most masterful skills that included doing his own arrangements - the era represented on this particular set (1951-1960) - his playing had become completely his own - unchallenged and unmatched by even other clearly great guitarists with whom he shared this era.

There are a total of 31 pieces played on these CDs and while a playlist would be an unnecessary use of space here, a list of the composers represented is not. More than the specific pieces Segovia gives us here, the range of composers chosen by the compilers and editors - with each piece rearranged by Segovia himself, tells us a great deal about his interests, talents and musical range. These composers include:
Isaac Albeniz, Johann Sebastian Bach, Mario Castelnuovo-Tedesco, Frederic Chopin, Claude Debussy, John Dowland, Manuel de Falla, Cesar Franke, Girolamo Frescobaldi, Edvard Grieg, George Frederic Handel, Felix Mendelsohn, Frederico Moreno Torroba, Modest Mussorgsky, Nicolo Paganini, Felipe Pedrell, Manuel Ponce, Jean-Philippe Rameau, Joaquin Rodrigo, Albert Roussel, Domenico Scarlatti, Alexander Scriabin, Segovia's own composition of Estudio sin luz, Fernando Sor, Francisco Tarrega, Joaquin Turina and Heitor Villa-Lobos. A truly magnificent and broad ranging collection held together by Segovia's unique personal style, approach and sound.

Largely self-taught, Andres Segovia did things with a guitar that others only imagined. He didn't just play Bach, for example - music written for an entirely different type of instrument (keyboards.) He went a step further, and recorder Bach's keyboard lessons written for his students (the Two and Three Part Inventions) and made them sound as if they had been written for the guitar! His artistry is evident to even the casual listener and in this collection, any devote of classical guitar and/or of Segovia as an individual artist, will not be disappointed.
Perfect listening for anytime. Hypnotic and, simply, unsurpassed. A necessary addition to any serious classical guitar collection.

5 out of 5 stars What can you say - it's Segovia!.......2007-02-10

I saw Segovia perform live in my youth. What a treat! Anyone who loves Classical Guitar should love this collection.

5 out of 5 stars EVERYBODY KNOWS.......2007-01-13

EVERYBODY KNOWS THAT ANDRES SEGOVIA WAS/IS THE WORLD'S GREATEST CLASSICAL GUITAR PLAYER. THIS CD IS A COMPILATION OF HIS RECORDINGS FROM THE THE EARLY 50'S TO THE LATE 60'S. HIS GUITAR MASTERY IS UNQUESTIONED AND HE IS AN INSPIRATION. I WISH I COULD PLAY GUITAR LIKE ANDRES SEGOVIA (BUT I CAN'T AND I NEVER WILL!).

Royal Crown Revue were between releases when the short-lived swing revival turned relative newcomers Cherry Poppin' Daddies and Big Bad Voodoo Daddy into household names. Originally released in the preresurgence year 1996, this collection finds Eddie Nichols's charismatic crooning and his band's revved-up revivalism in fine form. RCR favorites like "Hey Pachuco!" and "Zip-Gun Bop," which were both featured on the band's 1992 indie debut, are given the widescreen treatment here by Van Halen producer Ted Templeman. Other highlights include a cover of "Beyond the Sea" and "Barflies at the Beach," a wild remake of Louis Prima's "Sing Sing Sing" where Nichols sings the virtues of Flipper-laden tuna and other natural wonders. (Note: "Barflies" was added for this 1998 reissue.) As fate would have it, the band that launched the whole swing resurgence never really profited from its success. But as Nichols's heroes would say, that's show biz. --Bill Forman

5 out of 5 stars Crime Jazz.......2007-06-05

Established in 1989, Royal Crown Revue launched a swing revival that's still going strong and has spawned a host of imitators, from former Stray Cats singer Brian Setzer to the Cherry Poppin' Daddies. But Royal Crown Revue still rules the roost, with entries such as Walk on Fire (1999) and Greetings from Hollywood (2004). Whether you call it the bookish-sounding "neo-swing" or use the moniker supplied by front man singer Eddie Nichols--"hard-boiled swing"--you'll need a chaser after downing this powerful cocktail of swing laced with jive and rockabilly.

The accomplished sextet behind Nichols includes saxophonists Mando Dorame (tenor) and Bill Ungerman (barry), and trumpeter Scott Steen, backed by a rhythm section sharper than a stiletto: James Achor on guitar, Vinny Lepisto on bass, and drummer Daniel Glass. Nichols is, as they used to say, one hep cat: his voice brings to mind both Louies (Jordan and Prima), and the band's work reminds you of the "crime jazz" soundtracks of Elmer Bernstein and Henry Mancini. Listen to this one while reading Mickey Spillane's Kiss Me, Deadly and downing straight shots of Canadian Club.

Their signature tunes "Zip Gun Bop" and "Hey Pachuco!" are already standards in their own right. Their lightning-quick, be-bopping "Park's Place" brings back the best of Dizzy and Bird's jam sessions. Damn! These guys play tight! On "Beyond the Sea," Nichols out-swings and out-swoons Bobby Darin. "Barflies at the Beach"--a send-up of Louis Prima's version of "Sing, Sing, Sing"--closes this outing with a politically incorrect ditty about the delights of eating Charlie the Tuna...with a fin of Flipper thrown in for good measure. Yeah, man!

5 out of 5 stars Swing has never been done better!.......2006-01-05

This is such an awesome band! The lead singer was born to sing swing! You will fall in love with every one of these great tunes! You cannot listen to this great CD without tapping your feet!

This was the album that discovered Swing music for my ears. Great sounding, energetic album.

If you want a good introduction to Swing, this is THE perfect album to get. Also check out "The Contender" by Royal Crown Revue, it was their follow up to Mugsy's Move. Great album as well.

I would highly recommend this album.

5 out of 5 stars Oh Man i love this music.......2005-06-08

Simply a brilliantly fun album that shines in the band's musicianship. The group is so together and the songs are well balanced, flowing seamlessly through the changes in the songs that keep you listening and relate as a group of stories that are greta ot listen to and fun to dance to!

A very strong album that is a fun and fresh approach to the best type of music out there- swing baby!

5 out of 5 stars Simply the best of neo-swing.......2004-08-05

This is my favorite RCR cd. If you are a jazz fan in any way, shape, or form this cd is for you. It has a great combination of slow and fast songs, and their original pieces as well as awesome renditions of classics.... buy it today!

Customer Reviews:

5 out of 5 stars Fabulous for any Broadway-lover.......2007-01-30

Packs into 5 CD's a sampling of Broadway tunes from the 20's thru (almost) today, mostly from original cast recordings. Includes not just well-known hits, but also some lesser-known gems. Sound quality is first rate, booklet is informative too. Have given this as a gift to several friends with rave reviews.

5 out of 5 stars Top Shelf.......2007-01-04

This is THE definitive collection of Broadway hits. I have other collections, and none of them measure up. A great deal of care was obviously taken in compiling and presenting this box set. It covers a lot of ground, starting with some long-forgotten but still very enjoyable hits from the days of yore, and finishing with present-day favorites. To the best of my knowledge, the recordings are by those who made them famous. You won't be disappointed.

5 out of 5 stars TERRIFIC CD'S.......2006-03-23

THESE BROADWAY MUSICALS CD'S ARE A BROADWAY LOVERS DREAM. WITH EACH SONG, MEMORIES COME FLOODING BACK. BOTH THE FAMILIAR AND THE FORGOTTEN SONGS ARE A TRUE LISTENING PLEASURE. IF YOU LIKE BROADWAY, YOU'LL LOVE THIS SET.

5 out of 5 stars Great Collection of Broadways greatest Songs .......2005-06-14

This Collection was perfectly made it has almost all the most famous Broadway songs on this 5 cd set. The Music is great and has Broadways greatest treasures like "Memory""People""With One Look""Give my regards Too Broadway" just to name a few of this numerous cd set with over 100 songs. This is a great buy if you like musicals or The music of Broadway

5 out of 5 stars Great Compilation!.......2005-01-17

If you are a fan of the Broadway Musicals, this is a collection that you should purchase. Since I got the 5 disc set I've enjoyed listening to it. The majority of the songs are done by the original singers. The collection is priceless considering that you will have over 100 songs from popular musicals since the beginning of Broadway

4 out of 5 stars When Dance Music was Dance Music.......2007-06-22

I bought this album a few months ago for the song "Just Another Dream"; it brought back memories of when Dance music was actually music and not the processed, remixed trash that it's *generally* become today. I've found that I like most of this album, most notably "All Night Long (Touch Me)" and "C'mon and Get My Love". (I feel that "Too Many Walls" didn't really belong on this album; it seemed very out of place) Cathy Dennis is a talented singer/songwriter, and I am grateful to her for turning out one of the best dance albums of the 90's. Any fan of Dance music should give this album a try, if only to hear music one can actually dance to.

5 out of 5 stars LOVE HER VOICE!!!.......2007-01-04

Cathy Dennis has a great voice for Pop Music. This CD is great to have as compilation.

4 out of 5 stars Soulful Dance Diva.......2006-01-06

Awesome, Moving. Cathy confronts the issues of love in an upbeat euphoric and soulful manner, is this for real or "Just Another Dream" and the sexy "Touch Me (All Night Long), the dance hit featuring D Mob "C'mon And Get My Love", the hard to get love ballad of "Too Many Walls", the lost love ballad "Tell Me". the saucy dancefloor classic "Everybody Move", show me a sign of how you feel in "Move To This". The sweet romantic feelings of love in "My Beating Heart", the commitphobic "Got To Get Your Love" and giving love a chance with "Taste My Love".

4 out of 5 stars good songwriter with good music.......2005-12-31

I remember loving the song Touch Me in the 90's and just wrote her off as one of the other europop artists to come and disappear. But then in this decade I heard that she was the songwriter behind Kylie's Can't Get You Out of My Head, Britney Spears Toxic and a track from Janet Jackson's Damita Jo CD called "Island Life". Cathy is a very talented songwriter who has the potential to enhance the dance/pop genre if she continued writing songs for many other artists, or made a comeback herself since dance music is coming back thanks to Madonna with her latest album Confessions on a Dancefloor.

5 out of 5 stars One of the best early '90s albums.......2005-06-07

I bought this album after Touch Me went down on the charts and Too Many Walls would later become the next single in early 1991. Little did I know that this album would be the stepping stone to where she is now as a songwriter and artist. This is a solid dance album all the way with a huge emphasis on melodies and rhythms! I still love C'mon and Get Your Love, Just Another Dream, Touch Me and many of the other funky dance numbers on here. And I hear Too Many Walls a lot in some stores here--it's timeless sound still holds up. Dennis could really pull it off on a much slower, softer song. I think people were drawn to the song's low key, quiet landscapes against the more hyper hip-hop driven songs that it had to compete with on the charts. When I think of Cathy's recent successes with Kylie Minogue's comeback 2001-2002 hit Out of my Head and the endless playing of the catchy American Idol theme song that she co-wrote, I can credit this first album as its influence. A classic '90s album in all its true sense!

5 out of 5 stars Great Music.......2006-11-02

This is a great cd, lots of wonderful blues from a rare talent. If you get a chance to see her live, go. She was "2006 Female Comtemporary Blues Artist of the Year" for a good reason.

1 out of 5 stars nice try.......2006-07-14

nothing new here, same old worn out blues, nothing that really moves the soul,seems to play it safe, we have heard all of this 40 years ago, nice try

5 out of 5 stars Understands the blues.......2006-05-19

I recently saw Janiva in Grapevine, Texas and it was a relevatory experience. This is not your slicked-up, bogus blues parlayed by so many. This is gut bucket, down in the dumps reality. Hot singing, hot combo playing, nothing produced or pretentious. If you like the blues, old school variety, KoKo Taylor, Bessie Smith, etc., you NEED this cd.

5 out of 5 stars Easily Janiva's best album to date!.......2006-04-25

I first became aware of Janiva Magness when I got a promo copy of her 2001 release, "Blues Ain't Pretty" from a fellow programmer at our local community radio station. Janiva's vocals were strong, the original music was great, and I really enjoyed her cover of the Ray Charles/Percy Mayfield tune "Tell Me How Do You Feel". I was hooked from day one.

Her subsequent releases have always been 'must buys', and she keeps getting better and better with each release.

"Do I Move You?" continues that trend. Janiva shifts gears often, giving a varied view of the blues that sure is pleasing. Yes, Janiva is easy on the eyes (as evidenced by the cover artwork), but the view I speak of is the imagery she paints of a Chicago blues joint with her cover of Willie Dixon's "Workin' On Me Baby", then south to a Texas roadhouse with Delbert McClinton's "You Were Never Mine", over to a Tennessee honky-tonk with Ray Batts' "Stealin' Sugar", and finally down the Mighty Mississippi to a Bourbon Street blues hall with "I Can't Stop Crying", one of three songs written by Jeff 'Big Dad' Turmes.

Turmes has played with dozens of blues greats, and wrote a number of tunes on Janiva's past CDs, including the title track of her last album "Bury Him At The Crossroads". My favorite Turmes tune on this album is a really tasty acoustic Delta blues number titled "Don't Let Your Memories".

Producer Colin Linden and Tom Hambridge (author of Susan Tedeschi's hits "It Hurts So Bad" and "Rock Me Right") co-penned "I Give Up", a nice shuffle about working way too hard.

Another cover is the Cara Bell/Mike Hanks tune "I Want You To Have Everything", an up-tempo soul song originally recorded by Lee Rogers in the mid-60's. Also covered is the George Jackson/Eddie Harris tune "I'm Just A Prisoner (Of Your Good Lovin')", previously recorded by Candi Stanton and Clarence Carter.

Finally, the best cover on the album is the title track "Do I Move You", written and recorded in 1966 by the late, great Nina Simone. Janiva really dug into the vault in choosing some of her covers, and did a very respectable job on them all, but "Do I Move You" is something special. It really shows why those three Handy nominations for Female Blues Artist have been so well deserved!

In all, every track on "Do I Move You?" is worth playing time and time again. There are some real fine blues, with some sweet soul thrown in for good measure.

I have had the pleasure of seeing Janiva perform live several times, both in club and festival settings. An evening with Janiva is well worth the price of admission, and worth a pretty darn long drive, even at today's gas prices!

4 out of 5 stars great funk.......2007-03-24

just a purely great album of funk, and some of the best bass work you will ever hear.
One star loss due to too much talking and filler between songs.

3 out of 5 stars Get infected........2006-11-20

I'm not sure if one would call this a side-project, or supergroup, but it's a good listen. Members are from other bands such as Suicidal Tendencies, Metallica, and Jane's Addiction among others. To my ears, this basically sounds like a funkier version of Suicidal. I'd say it's a must listen for ST fans. Call it....funk-rock. It a bass slappin', drum poundin', yelling good time. Get it if you see it, as it's out of print at the moment.

4 out of 5 stars Funkalicious and fun.......2005-06-27

What happens when you take the bass virtuosity of Rob Trujillo (ex-Suicidal Tendencies, later joined Metallica), the vocal stylings of Mike Muir (Suicidal Tendencies), multiple guest drummers (including Stephen Perkins of Porno For Pyros and studio drummer Josh Freese of Vandals and A Perfect Circle fame), and even more guest guitarists and miscellaneous instrumentalists, throw them into a blender on the 'puree' setting with a gallon of funk and a few quarts of punk/metal?

You get Infectious Grooves.

It's funky, it's rocking. It makes you dance and it makes you bang your head. That's what Infectious Grooves is all about.. groovin' and rockin'.

The strongest element of the album, naturally, is the incredible bass work of one Rob Trujillo. Rob shows his true colors on this album, always laying down the solid groove and occasionally stepping outside of the pocket to display incredible work with both the left and right hands. The guest guitarists on the album are all of a high level of musicianship. The title track has an incredibly sick-sounding guitar solo that is usually only heard amongst the likes of talent such as Steve Vai or John Petrucci.

The only downfall of the album is that Mike Muir has never been what I would consider a "good vocalist". He is, however, very fitting to the Infectious Grooves sound. The songs are all humorous, both musically and lyrically. Muir does a great job of keeping you laughing, whether it is his classic funk "Hey hey hey's" or the ridiculous lyrics ("You lie.. and yo breath stank.. smells just like.. a septic tank.") The skits, may I add, are amusing the first time around but the novelty quickly wears off. I was also a bit irked that the album ended with a skit track as opposed to an actual song.

If you like funk and are open to experimentation, I highly recommend this album. Being an individual who has an undying love for both funk and metal, this album is extremely appealing to me.

I reiterate.. HIGHLY recommended.

5 out of 5 stars A lost gem in my collection.......2003-12-19

I'll make this short and sweet: GET IT, IT'S ONLY $4.00!! Being a big fan of Suicidal at the time, I've had this since it came out in 1991. I hadn't listened to it for years, even though I knew it was really good. Well, today I resurrected it, and holy moly it's really good. Super bass funkiness, catchy hooks, addictive riffs, sing-a-long refrains...maybe that doesn't sound good but it really is! And funny too. Like I said, this is a lost gem in my collection.

5 out of 5 stars Grooooooooooovy.......2002-04-18

Uauuuu... that's funky man! Funk with heavy riffs. Funny and mostly: groovy!!!!
In my opinion Sarssipius Ark's is better (the sound quality and mix is better).
Try to hear "Feed the monkey" or "Stop funk'n with my head". Yeah!! I like it so much!!!!!
I think all Infetious Grooves CDs are excellent. Buy them if you like funk, metal distortion & riffs and a "bass in your face" sound.

A Chorus Line may be better known, but Dreamgirls was a towering achievement for director Michael Bennett. Loosely based on the Supremes' story, the 1982 musical told a typical show-biz tale of fame, backbiting, and survival. As is often the case for one-night only events, the cast in this concert version (recorded in New York on September 24, 2001) is led by an eye-popping assortment of Broadway powerhouses: Lillias White (The Life), Audra McDonald (Ragtime, Marie Christine), and Heather Headley (Ragtime). McDonald reveals a previously undisclosed comic streak, while Headley confirms her status as a rising star. Reprising the role of Effie Melody White (created by Jennifer Holliday), White belts the classic "And I Am Telling You I'm Not Going." But the beauty of Dreamgirls is that it's so packed with catchy, Motown-influenced R&B numbers that each lead can sink her teeth into some prime material and get a turn in the spotlight. This double-CD set really makes you wish you'd been there when the show was recorded: you can hear the crowd going berserk at times, and the temptation is strong to do the same thing in the comfort of your living room. --Elisabeth Vincentelli

1 out of 5 stars Dreamgirls 2001.......2007-06-27

This was the worst reproduction of Dreamgirls that I ever heard. I was so disappointed the CD went into the garbage. This is one CD that I would not sell to the public because I expect so much and get so little.

4 out of 5 stars Not the real "DREAM" experience.......2007-04-04


Forget about the film sountrack. Get this CD set. And it's far better than the original cast recording which goes lacking. More songs and more everything that makes a live performance just what it is. Live (compared to film where anything can be done to enhance a performance!) -- the energy, the excitement and the performances make this a rare treat for anyone wanting to share in the real DREAM experience.

Isn't a full Broadway revival long over due. But wait: I've heard rumors that a rvial may be "in the works. I certainly hope so. Maybe this time it will receive the Tony award it deserved in the first place.

5 out of 5 stars Absolutely brilliant!.......2007-01-28

There is atleast 5 new songs on this album that were not in the movie! These girls kill it I mean they are just amazing singers, and this all live! This is needed for any Dreamgirls fanatic like me! You are gonna love it! Enjoy! love live laugh :)

5 out of 5 stars Amazing!!!!!!.......2006-12-04

As a theatre lover, this recording is amazing. I actually prefer this recording to the OBC. Sheryl Lee Ralph is okay, but can't touch Audra's Deena. The first time I heard Ms. White's "And I Am Telling You..", goosbumps all over my body. The only weak cast member in my opinon is Heather Headly. Vocally, she just isn't there. Too much Aida, not enough Dreamgirls. But all in all, a great live recording of a great show.

5 out of 5 stars One Night Only .......2006-07-19

I was lucky enough to attend this One Night Only concert performance of Dreamgirls and it was a night I will never forget!! The cast was brilliant and the cd is as good if not better than the Broadway cast recording because it is the entire show not just the songs. Bravo to everyone involved !!!
