The people who felt betrayed when Linda Eder covered several pop songs on 2002's Gold will be relieved that her follow-up, Broadway My Way, is a return to the Great White Way. As if to prove that she isn't limited to either the songs of Frank Wildhorn or ballads, Eder tackles some well-known show tunes. The ballads tend to be overwrought, so it's best to look for the uptempo numbers. The singer's take on "Some People" is technically fine but so va-va-voom showbiz that it lacks the deranged edge that makes the song so compellingly dramatic. Things work a lot better on "I Am What I Am": while Eder doesn't take it to the top (or rather over the top), this is as close as she gets to Mermanizing a number. Elsewhere, "Don't Rain on My Parade" (immortalized by Streisand) and "Man of La Mancha" are appropriately brassy and triumphant, with Eder roaring her way through both songs. Fans of both Eder and Wildhorn should note that the singer reprises her Svengali's "Gold," the title track from her previous album, and an excerpt from his long-in-the-works Camille Claudel. --Elisabeth Vincentelli

Linda Eder - Great Voice.......2007-07-06

This lady has one great voice. She can certainly sell a song. My only reservation about her is that she's a bit cocky. I think she could use some humility.

Not a voice.......an instrument.......2007-02-17

Unbelievable breath control, phrasing, and style. My 10 yr. old Granddaughter who heretofore has listened and loved the usual rap
and hip-hop, heard me playing this disc and begged me to buy her
one........and I did, and she plays it all the time, and to her
friends. Linda Eder exceeds the Streisand mystique by far.

the best female singer of the great american standards........2006-07-24

i am turning 60 years old this year. i went to my 1st.broadway
musical in 1960. over the years i have had the honor to see
almost all of the giants of american song, garland, streisand,
patti lupone, lena horne, betty buckley, barbaracook etc. in
"broadway, my way" linda eder cements her place as the best of the best. from an anthem like "i am what i am" to the lovely
"on the street where you live" captures you body and soul.
i loved this album, and don't ever miss a chance to see her live. JOHN POWER

The powerful and beautiful voice of Linda Elder.......2006-02-23

A great selection of songs. Tremendous amount of energy in Linda's voice. I just love it.

Linda Eder shines with her Broadway album.......2006-02-18

Wow! Linda Eder has an outstanding voice. She sells Broadway in the styles of Judy Garland and Barbra Streisand. After hearing this you will want more.

Customer Reviews:

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.

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.

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.

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

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

Read the Book - Love the CD.......2007-05-13

I first read Don't Stop thje Carnival maybe 5 years ago. I knew Jimmy had written the musical, and wondered if I would ever hear it. This is great. Completely captures the entire story.

different- great.......2007-03-24

I absolutely love this album. I bought it not having any idea what it was, and at first was confused- why all the different singers, what in the world is Kinja? Well, it took me a while to sort it out, with some help from the liner notes. The fact that the music was great helped me stay with it. And then, one day I found myself rumaging through my Buffett for a poolside album, and I picked this one. It's been my favorite of Buffett's later career ever since, and I can only say I love it more all the time. The songs are really great, and it's nice to hear Jimmy trying something new- that's when he's at his best. Obviously, lots of island music here. My only warning is this- the songs don't stand alone. This album is one whole story. If you dig it, and want more, read the Herman Wouk novel. They're great companion pieces for each other. Sorry, guys, it's hard to quantify what's so great about this album, but give it a try. Thanks for reading.

Best Buffett song ever.......2006-08-20

Island Fever is the best.

JMHO

cheers!

Best Soundtrack Of A Musical I'll Never See Adapted From A Book I'll Never Read.......2006-01-27

I fell in love with this quirky soundtrack after hearing snippets of the song "Public Relations" (during of all things a talk radio discussion of public relations!), but I have little desire to see the musical and none at all to read the novel it is based upon. The reason? Primarily it is the awful, downbeat, deus ex machina ending, which shockingly and pointlessly kills off a major character in order to tie up some loose ends. Secondarily, I don't get all that much pleasure out of watching someone's futile struggles against continual disaster no matter how humorously it is written. The brief synopsis in the CD booklet is enough to allow me to understand the hilariously, defiantly upbeat songs without my having to endure either the lengthier tragedy of the musical or the reportedly depression-inducing 400+ pages of Don't Stop the Carnival: A Novel.

My advice? Skip the story, and just enjoy the music.

the worst Buffett, ever........2004-10-27

This is the worst music Buffett has produced. Have the CD, took the family to the concert, awful. When compared to "Floridays" and "Off to see the Lizard" (both 6 stars!), this shows how commercial Buffett has become.

Described rather astutely as "The Laurel and Hardy of Danish electro pop," Junior Senior's "D-D-Don't Stop the Beat" is the coolest thing to come out of Denmark since Lego. Already huge in Scandinavia, the JS sound (think the Cramps, the B-52's, and Wham! in some gloriously incongruous pile-up) can't fail to paint a smile on the hardest of cynic's face. Fittingly their debut is full of perversely mad pop songs, referenced to the hilt and none too complex in production; for sheer goofy charm and jump-around madness, it's hard to beat. "Chicks and Dicks," an ode to misguided sexual attention, rocks along to 60s beach guitar and surfin' harmonies, while "Move Your Feet" is the sound of Fatboy Slim body-popping to "Club Tropicana." At turns clever, irreverent, and maddeningly catchy, this is a record from Denmark that other countries will want to listen to. --Paul Tierney

Album Description

Debut album from Danish duo Junior Senior is an elaborate fusion of Scandinavian pop, funk, disco, indie and hip hop, with a broad spectrum of influences ranging from Run DMC and the Ramones through to the B-52s and the Cramps. Features 15 tracks including the bonus tracks 'Coconuts' (movie edit), 'Move Your Feet' (Live Version) plus enhanced content 'Move Your Feet' (video) & 'Delta Lab Diary' (in-studio video). Atlantic/Crunchy Frog. 2003.

Customer Reviews:

better than you would think.......2006-08-21

this is a weird cd b/c it is so hard to categorize. It is danceable, dorky, gay overtoned, cheesy, bubble gummish yet, it actually rocks! There's even cool, fuzzed out guitar all over it.

It cannt be for the dance crowd b/c of the cool guitar and references to 70's punk acts.

could it appeal to rockers? It is very danceable, makes you want to jump around your car while listening to it.

Is it for the gay crowd only? I don't think so b/c there is a call for girls.

Is it top 40 trash? No, it is too damn inventive!

"Coconuts" and "move your feet" are actually cool rock songs!

I think, what the other reviewer said, is true. This is danceable Cramps/Ramones/B-52/60's garage band music.

In conclusion, since it is difficult to be categorized, that means they are more original, less derivative and therefore this is a thumbs up cd.

It has great cross over appeal since it does rock, groove, twange and is very catchy. This is the ultimate guilty pleasure cd!

catchy, but borderline obnoxious.......2006-01-25

I've heard Junior Senior put on quite a show live, and it's easy to imagine while listening to this frenetic set, but just like conversations can come across as banal or simplistic when transcribed, "D-D-Don't Don't" definitely stutters, occasionally snagged in its own groove, with some "umm" and "y'know" peppering the mix as well. Still, while JS has some maturing to do before it reaches the level of a powerhouse like Basement Jaxx, there are standouts at least worth a download while you wait. With "Move Your Feet," Junior Senior crafted the most contagious, overlooked dance gem of 2003. Reminiscent of the Jackson 5, Ohio Players and Sacramento's !!!, the song blazes in a roller disco sort of way. "Chicks and Dicks" channels a '50s girls band sound with a '60s guys garage band intensity. And "Shake Your Coconuts" has the oddly tasty distinction of sounding like Buzzcocks' Pete Shelley fronting KC & the Sunshine Band. Sadly, much of the rest of the album, I've determined after repeated listens, is either filler or musical experiments better to have been aborted. "D-D-Don't" comes across in the same vein as Bis' frenetic beast "New Transistor Heroes," like a kid on two gallons of soda in a fingerpainting competition. It's fun stuff but it's got no soul.

Pretty decent dance music - definitely a guilty pleasure - 3.5 stars.......2005-12-30

Let it first be known that this album is VERY silly and cheesy. Don't listen to this expecting the next "Abbey Road." However, for the style of music that Junior Senior creates, it is pretty entertaining although kind of forgettable longterm (though there's an odd charm with some of the songs that make you like them, a sort of guilty pleasure). Unfortunately, the second track on the album, "Rhythm Bandits", has an EXTREMELY better single version than what's on the album which completely baffles me (it's one of my favorites by Junior Senior). Junior Senior is entirely about fun, and if you listen to it without that in mind then you'll be sorely disapointed. If you don't like pure fun and silly albums then you'll be disappointed. Not essential at all, but buy it if you are looking for a silly and dancy album or if you have nothing better to get.

Highlights include:
"Go Junior Go Senior"
"Move Your Feet"
"Shake Your Coconuts"
"Boy Meets Girl"
"Shake Me Baby"
"C'mon" (barely)
"Good Girl Bad Boy" (barely)
"Dynamite" (barely)

AWFUL!!!!!!.......2005-09-25

Don't even buy this album if you wanna save money. This is the worst album of all time and you will be disappointed if you hear this album. Believe me. No other album can compete against this album. Not any other album on this Earth, not albums in 50's,60's or 70's. No decade. The only good song is "Don't Stop the Beat". The song "Who Are You Gonna Do Tonight" is just plan nasty. It sounds stupid at that. Mark my words do not get this album!!!!

Yuck.......2005-08-15

Don't buy it, you'll regret it. I did. The title track is catchy for awhile. It eventually gets old. Besides, how cool can it be if VH1 used it in all their ads?
If you are looking for fun, unusual music to bring to a party, just to watch all the rap boys and girls freak out, purchase an album by The Soft Pink Truth. Their latest release "Do you want New Wave or do you want the Soft Pink Truth puts this watered down drizzle to shame.

Irresistible.......2005-07-29

From beginning to end this CD is pure delight. A great recording has great music, a great performance, and great sound; this one scores on all three counts.

Rodgers and Hammerstein's musicals dominated Broadway in the 1940s and 1950s, and American musical theater has produced no more consistently eloquent and durable voice than Richard Rodgers. From his fertile genius flowed a surprising number of memorable songs, many of which have passed into and become an accepted and beloved part of modern American culture.

This well-filled CD (77:36) features symphonic arrangements (all but two by Robert Russell Bennett) of the music from Oklahoma (1943), Carousel (1945), State Fair (1945), South Pacific (1949), The King and I (1951), Flower Drum Song (1958), and The Sound of Music (1959). All the great tunes are here in suites from each musical that average 10-12 minutes in length. The arrangements are expert: rich, varied, and colorful. The performances are polished, idiomatic, and irresistible; Kunzel and this orchestra are thorough masters of this kind of material. And Telarc's sound (recorded 1991) is state-of-the-art (engineer Michael Bishop deserves to take a bow).

In short, there's nothing here to cloud your listening pleasure (the only quibble I can imagine is that some of your favorites may not last long enough), so it's hard for me to envision anyone with ears and a taste for music who wouldn't enjoy this CD. Warmly recommended. Finally, if you like this one as much as I do, you might want to know that the same team has produced a companion volume, the Lerner & Lowe Songbook for Orchestra.

"Some Enchanted Evening" with Kunzel and the Cincinnati Pops.......2003-12-26

Erich Kunzel's Rodgers and Hammerstein anthology with the Cincinatti Pops Orchestra is one of the best and most ravishing instrumental Rodgers and Hammerstein albums of all time. With sumptuous arrangements and warm, natural Telarc recording, this glorious 77-minute CD presents sweeping, melodic arrangements of over 60 Rodgers and Hammerstein selections, spanning eight scores, and Kunzel allows the Pops to play with a characterful and polished understanding of the Rodgers and Hammerstein idiom. The disc is enough to cheer you up on a dull day and make you smile, and it might even want to make you feel like a convert to Rodgers and Hammerstein musicals.

This CD has all the scores arranged chronologically. The OKLAHOMA! suite that opens this disc promises a feast for the senses, Kunzel ably evokes the territory's "bright, golden haze" in the way he conducts the various excerpts, until you feel the atmosphere of the country charm of the show, and the love-affair between Curly and Laurey. Then, in CAROUSEL, he ably evokes the pathos of this tragic R&H masterwork, especially in the truncated Waltz, but he leads a wonderfully melodic "June is Bustin' Out All Over" and a devotional "You'll Never Walk Alone." Although this suite does not include Billy's pivotal Soliloquy, it includes "If I Loved You" as an expression of his love for Julie, and within minutes you could be soaked in the ups and downs of the show's mood.

After a brief STATE FAIR suite, with sweeping renditions of "It Might As Well Be Spring" and "It's a Grand Night for Singing", we are brought into the disc's showstopping highlights. These highlights are the excerpts from SOUTH PACIFIC, THE KING AND I, and THE SOUND OF MUSIC. But yet Kunzel conducts the rest of the disc until the various suites amount to a series of showstoppers. These three suites present wonderfully-arranged versions of their many familiar classic songs, with well-played solos. The SOUTH PACIFIC suite presents the songs in chronological order, yet preserves the atmosphere of the show at the same time. Kunzel ably brings out the romance in "Some Enchanted Evening" and "Younger than Springtime," and contrasts it with the exotic and dreamlike "Bali Hai'i" and the comic "There is Nothing like a Dame" and "I'm Gonna Wash That Man Right Outa My Hair". Although the suite ends quietly with a reprise of "Dites-Moi" rather than the reprise of "Some Enchanted Evening," within minutes we are swept into the KING AND I suite. Kunzel ably brings out the Oriental pathos in this score, and he captures the warmth of Anna's rapport with the King's Siamese children in "Getting to Know You", and with the King himself in "Shall We Dance." There is also romance in the love ballads "I Have Dreamed" and "We Kiss in a Shadow." Similarly, in the selection from THE SOUND OF MUSIC, Kunzel conducts this until the orchestra soaks itself in the atmosphere of this Austrian R&H score. This SOUND OF MUSIC suite has more of a feel of the score compared to the bonus track on Sony's reissued version of the Broadway recording. You can almost feel as if you are following the progress of the Trapp family and how it lifts its spirits with the joy of music. Kunzel gives us a soaring version of the title song, and spirited versions of "Do-Re-Mi" and "My Favourite Things." He balances it with the open-air quality of "Edelweiss" and "The Lonely Goatherd." Although this suite could have included "Something Good," the love ballad written for the film, the three recollections of the songs that were cut from the movie only last for a while. And, the towering version of "Climb Every Mountain" crowns this portion of the disc, and this sumptuously-produced recording. But, I should also mention the infectuous FLOWER DRUM SONG medley, where Kunzel turns this underrated score into a work of art, until it convinces you to buy the cast recording. And, don't forget about the brief CINDERELLA WALTZ, too, when Kunzel conducts it magically, until you feel like you are in the company of Cinderella and the Prince. He is able to show how this R&H score marked a comeback for R&H after the failiures of Me and Juliet, and Pipe Dream.

Overall, this glorious Rodgers and Hammerstein recording is guarunteed to make you want to pucker your lips out for a whistle or sing along (to paraphrase another revew for Kunzel's Disney Spectacular disc) - even if this recording is music only, and as long as you know the words to the songs (and you might know a large handful of them already.) There is always a certain magic in this fine CD that makes you feel like you're sitting in the theatre watching these musicals, until it makes you feel like it is truly, to borrow two R&H song titles, "Some Enchanted Evening" and "Something Wonderful" to be in Kunzel's company for this R&H offering. It would certainly be one recording that could make you feel willing to buy the complete cast recordings of the shows. And I guaruntee that it will make you feel willing to pull out your existing copies of the cast recordings to listen to them again. I also guaruntee that it will be a cornerstone in any Rodgers and Hammerstein collection, just as it is in mine. Recommended heartily to any Rodgers and Hammerstein enthusiast and to fans of Erich Kunzel's work. And, you can play it while reading the Richard Rodgers biography, Musical Stages, until Rodgers himself would count this as his favourite disc in the afterlife.

By the way, most of the arrangements for the suites on this CD were done by the veteran R&H orchestrator Robert Russell Bennett, and it surely adds to the appeal of this recording. This itself is enough to amount to the icing on the cake, since Kunzel conducts them well on here, and since this recording still allows the suites to have the original theatrical atmosphere. And, although this recording is like the Mauceri collection of the Rodgers & Hammerstein overtures in compiling orchestral suites of Rodgers & Hammerstein, I think that I like the Kunzel recording even more because Kunzel has more magic in his conducting of these suites.

Excellent!.......2003-04-08

This is one of the best Erich Kunzel/Cincinnati Pops collections we own! A must for Rodgers and Hammerstein fans, too.

Great Arrangments.......2001-09-02

This is a first rate album with great arrangments and orchestrations. If you're a Rodgers and Hammerstein fan, you can't afford to miss this specatacular album

Great!.......2004-06-21

If you're into classical music and Fleetwood Mac then this album is for you! It's actually quite nice! I think this string quartet did a very nice job remaking Fleetwood Mac's masterpieces! It's quite interesting to listen to, especially if you're a big Fleetwood Mac fan! I would most definately recommend this album for big Fleetwood Mac and classical music fans!

Don't Stop!.......2007-03-02

Just received my copy from amazon in the mail. Housed in a jewelcase with front & back inserts, this fun package came as a surprise before even listening to the fun mixes. The front cover art features the band member's legs. When you flip the box over, the picture continues but upside-down. I think this is a cool design concept. ;) The four-page booklet includes band & credits info. Disc is white with 'raised' blue graphics and a cyan-toned thumbnail of band. Titling is in red.

Tracks one and two are practically the same. I like the keyboard arrangements and appreciate these tracks for those arrangements alone. Track two contains less Sabina therefore making this an almost-instrumental version of track one. It could've been omitted from the tracklist and something more dancier could've been added instead. Track three is the album version, which is the best song on their debut CD. Track four has an extended 'beat-based' intro before the song actually starts. Track five features Sabina's 'breathy' acappella rendition. It is the original vocal layer. Since it is a vocal-only track, Sabina's smokey vocals are evidently clearer because there's nothing to distract the listener's ear. That's how I finally realized she was saying "......let's drink some tea and smoke some herb".

Tracklisting:
01- Don't Stop (Riton Re-Rub) 5'35
02- Don't Stop (Riton Re-Rub Dub) 5'35
03- Don't Stop (Album Version) 3'50
04- Don't Stop (Brazilian Girls Extended Mix) 6'31
05- Don't Stop (Acappella) 3'51

Buy it for collecting purposes, and to support this remarkable band. Not quite the clubbing single, I do appreciate it anyway.

Best girls.......2005-06-17

The first single from The Brazilian Girls are anything but funky and a little cheeky. Mixing a little of dance, electronic and laid-back lounge, the first single is a sweet fusion. It doesn't hurt that the lyrics go: "Don't stop, don't stop...just keep on going until I come" :)

Nothing beats the album version. Riton's Dub essentially make the song more danceable which also means it loses some of that funkiness of the original.

Customer Reviews:

What's up with the packaging?.......2007-04-17

First, I loved this album growing up, and I am glad to finally have the remastered import CD version. However, the packaging was a great disappointment not only for this CD, but all the Olivia Remastered CDs. Sure it comes with a booklet of lyrics and pictures from the original albums, but EVERY photo is so grainy that it looks absolutely amatueristic. This includes the front and back covers and the photos inside the booklet. I would have sworn they were booklet copies if I hadn't purchased them from Amazon directly.

Lots of Great original tracks by Olivia.......2005-07-21

This was the first Olivia Remaster I got, as I suffered for years of only having this album on Cassette (went through two of them actually) Not only was I completely grateful I had this on cd, I was BLOWN AWAY by the sound quality of this particular release in comparison to my MCA Cds.

My favorite song is A Thousand Conversations. The Kangaroo song is Corny, but makes me smile. I also love Every Face Tells A Story, an underrated single. And of course, Sam and the title track are just wonderful. A Really really great record. You also get the priviledge of hearing her sing accapella on the intro to Last Time You loved. Great Idea for Olivia.

Olivia's Best Ever Album By Far.......2004-02-27

ONJ went to Hollywood from London, but stopped on her way in Nashville to record the best album she's ever made. The title cut is breathtaking and is oh, so very true. I love A Thousand Conversations, Compassionate Man, and Hey Mr Dreammaker. As a 2 sided album, the weakest song on side one was New Born Babe, but it's still a beautiful song. Side 2 brought probably her last country hit, Every Face Tells a Story, and, of course, Sam. The two songs after that are the weakest points, if I had to choose one. But she makes up for it with The Last Time You Loved. It is simply one of the most beautiful songs she's ever done, and with a minimum of vocal overdubbing. John Farrar didn't let many songs go without 2 or 3 Olivia's singing together. On this one, he did. The lack of overdubs shows that she was/is a really good singer and not just a beauty, which many thought that's all she was. Sometimes, Mr. Farrar forgot that. This album should have been her comeback, before Grease. Her sales were beginning to slack, and continued to do so until Grease, but this one should have put Livvy back on top.

This is the best record of Olivia Newton-John's career.......2003-09-16

I got to meet Olivia one time, and this CD (wish I'd brought the LP) was the only item of the hundreds of momentos I own, I asked her to autograph. Awesome, one of a kind. Furthermore, it's structure (song selection and order) remind me a lot of the long deleted If You Love Me, Let Me Know, the album that made her a star, but with all original songs instead of covers.
She should have recorded all her albums in Nashville. Simply the best work she has ever done. The title cut should have been a huge hit, especially considering the time of release

Soothing, comforting sounds from Olivia.......2003-09-07

First off, let me say that I am a proud fan of Olivia Newton-John's and I have been for many years. Something about her voice soothes me and I often play her records when I need to relax and 'de-stress'. This album, in particular, is one of my favorites to unwind to. I especially love the title track. Listen to the lyrics and you'll discover that the song is one of her most inspirational and comforting songs. It basically says that no matter how bad things are going in your life, you have to keep holding on and doing your best and eventually you'll pull through. The rest of the album is equally soothing and many songs are quite lovely especially the biggest hit on here the longing 'Sam' as well as the bittersweet 'A thousand conversations'. The one song I could do without is the somewhat annoying 'I'll bet you a kangaroo' but it isn't all that bad and the quality of the other songs on the album makes it easy to overlook this one small misstep. Overall, I highly recommend this album to people who want to hear an album of songs that soothe the weary mind and touch the heart.

A CLASSIC TO HAVE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!.......2006-02-08

EVER SINCE I HEARD HER ON THE RADIOS IN 1998 WITH HER DO YOU NOW WHAT IT TAKES SONG. I BECAME A BIG FAN. THEN WHEN BRITNEY SPEARS CAME ALONG IN 1999. SHE SUDDENLY DISSAPEARED. AND FROM THEN ON SHE HAS MADE CD'S BUT ONLY REALSED IN SWEDEN WHICH I THINK SUCKS. I THINK THAT SHE THOUGHT HER CDS WERENT GOING TO SELL IN THE US ANYMORE. WELL I HOPE SHE MAKES A COME BACK TO THE US. I KNOW HER MUSIC WILL MAKE A DIFFERENCE IN OUR LIVES IF THEY PLAY THERE MUSIC IN THE STATES. THIS ALBUM IS VERY DIFFERENT, EVERY SONG IS DIFFERENT WHICH I LIKE. AND WITH VERY FUTURISTIC BEATS.
KEEP THIS FIRE BURNING - THIS SONG JUST MAKES U WANT TO DANCE, IT'S VERY CATCHY. IT KINDA REMINDS ME OF BRANDY'S SONG "WHAT ABOUT US". 5/5

DONT STOP THE MUSIC- THIS SONG HAS A GOOD MEANING BEHIND IT. IF YOUR FEELING DOWN JUST LISTEN TO THIS SONG . 5/5

O BABY - A GOOD SWEET BALLAD. WHEN U LISTEN TO THIS SONG U COULD KINDA HERE ROBYN ALMOST CRY AT THE END OF THIS SONG. THIS SONG TALKS ABOUT HAVING PEOBLEMS IN A RELATIONSHIP. AND KNOW SHE WANTS TO WALK OUT OF IT.

BLOW MY MIND - I LOVE THIS SONG, IT'S VERY FUTURISTIC AND WITH A SWEET MEANING TO IT. STRAIGHT UP FROM THE HEART YOUR MY NUMBER #1. 10/5

SHOULD'VE KNOWN - ANOTHER FAVORITE SONG OF MINE. GOOD MEANING TO IT LOVE THE BACKGROUND MUSIC TO IT. 11/5

MOONLIGHT - I COULD PICTURE MYSELF LISTENING TO THIS SONG IN THE SUMMER TIME AT THE BEACH IN THE DAY TIME OR AT NIGHT AT A BEACH PARTY. 100/5

AINT NO THING- THIS SONG IS GOOD I LIKE THE BEATS TO IT. IT'S VERY R&B. 5/5

BIG CITY - ANOTHER SONG I LIKE. I LIKE THE GUITAR RIFF IN THIS SONG. HAS A ROCKISH R&B FEELING TO IT. 5/5

STILL YOUR GIRL - I LIKE HOW THE PIANO SOUNDS IN THIS SONG IT'S VERY AWESOME. 5/5


I THINK ROBYN COULD HAVE HAD MORE SINGLES FROM THIS ALBUM LIKE : MOONLIGHT,SHOULD'VE KNOWN, AND BLOW MY MIND COULD HAVE BEEN A DANCE SINGLE.

TRULY, THIS ALBUM IS GOOD, AND I HOPE ROBYN WILL MAKE A COME BACK TO THE US SOON.

Pop at its best.......2005-11-28

The impressing voice she may not have. Still Robyn knows what's going on in the pop music. "Should Have Known" and "Blow My Mind" are the little sparkling gems produced by Guy Sigsworth, who also collaborated with Bjork, Imogen Heap and Madonna. All the other songs would make Britney and JLO really envy, but I shouldn't even compare Robyn to those mediocre ladies. Just get "Don't Stop the Music" and you'll know what I mean.

For Those Who Danced To Robyn Songs In Middle School.......2004-05-06

Robyn has definately grown with us! Definately the same GREAT voice, she still has the ATTITUDE and style , but she's got a lot more. She's got soul, diversity, and she's got the ability to REALLY write some good songs! The end of almost every song has these amazing 'bridges' a good change of pace that doesn't seem out of place. You'll get samples of the songs on her sight but when you actually buy it, and you really should you'll be pleasantly surprised that the good songs are great! Its so worth the import costs. Get it guys, thank me later!

1. Keep this Fire Burning- This song is great song with great lyrics you'll love it. 10/10

2. Don't Stop the Music- A great dance(/hiphop/rock) song about overcoming obstacles, very empowering! Has a great chance at being an anthem. 8/10

3. O Baby- I love this song, its a ballad with a perfect groove to it, the lyrics are simple but oh so heartfelt. Showcases her voice really well. 10/10

4. Blow My Mind- This is a [really good] song! I guess this song sounds kinda techno pop, its a mid-tempo song with a nice beat to it. These are the kinds of lyrics Christina and Britney really wanna sing. Robyn's voice in this song is very thin, whispery and kinda soft child-like, it goes really well with the song. Also the song has this sillyness in the background, its very quirky. 9/10

5. Should Have Known- This song starts out with the sound of the wheel as it slows from wheel of fortune, it's so great! The background music sounds very simplistic in the beginning, almost not there, then it gets very lush. I love, love, love the background music in this song. The lyrics are very straight foward in the song and you can absolutely FEEL the emotion. Also she says the f word a few times, and that to me is all the reason to buy this cd!!! j/k 10/10

6. Moonlight- This song is the song of tranquility. Her voice soothes. The chorus is perfect for feelings of love. 10/10

7. Breakdown Intermission- Okay this song is strange. Its as techno as you can get also rocks a bit. But it is a breakdown intermission a far cry from the other songs. Still I like it, I just have to be in the mood to listen it. Great to dance, and boogie to! 7/10

8. Ain't No Thing- Funky, R&B song. This is a real dance song something that could've been a hit for her had she released it back in the day. This is a song that's not about the lyrics it just has a great sound that you can't not be happy listening to it, and when the singing is over the music keeps going back and forth like the theme song of a clumsy clown. You just gotta hear it. 9/10

9. Big City- This is a real R&B song, with very surprising lyrics. I don't know what to say besides this is just a GREAT song. It could a hit if it was released here I'm sure, #1 radio single kinda thing. 10/10

10. Psycho- Okay this song is called Pycho and that is how it sounds it can be kinda scary to listen to at night. But it's a great hard-edged dance song. Great lyrics too, its funny, and she uses profanity, and sarcasm. 9/10

11. Still Your Girl- This is the best song on this cd. Hiphop, Soul, R&B. She has a great flow during the hooks, her voice shines! I love the lyrics, the background vocals, the music, the feeling you get when listening to this song. Its great! This song is truly addictive. 10/10

12. The Hidden Track- Its an old swedish song and I don't speak the language at all, but that didn't stop me from LOVING this song and singing along. I actually made lyrics according to what English words sounded close to what she was singing and it made since! This song is great for her strong yet soothing voice and although I don't know what it says the feelings of longing and hope, and bliss help me when I'm down and out. Besides the music is so empowering and energetic along with her voice. It builds up so perfectly to the explosive ending! You WILL want to sing-along! 10/10

Overall its a mix of rock, hip hop, r&b, dance, pop, and that calming, wave like music. More importantly the album as a whole strings together very well, it fits, and has an overall ambience to it and that means you can put it in and never have to switch songs as long as you're not in an overly ecstatic or overly miserable mood and only wanna listen to songs that reflect exactly what you're feeling. Go out there and get it.

Why Is This CD So Good?.......2003-12-27

Why is "Don't Stop The Music" so good? I had my doubts after visiting Robyn's BMG/Jive website and watching the videos for two songs off this disc. Gee whiz...whoever produced them ought to be shot or something. The title cut video ought to be named "Robyn Can Walk On Walls" -- but she's definitely too old at 24 to be playing Alice In Wonderland. The other video -- for "Keep This Fire Burning -- is a little better but it has some guy who looks like the "after" picture of Scott Weiland, if you know what I mean. If this video is supposed to be a dream sequence Robyn ought to be on medication. Or more medication.

Add to it the lofty price of an import CD and I ought to be on medication, too, for buying it.

Except for one thing: the core of this album is by far her best work. Robyn works with some of the best producers in the R&B genre but this effort is much more her own work than her first two CDs. She also works with some of Sweden's best musicians and that's much more evident here, too. "Blow My Mind" and "Moonlight" add a beautiful touch of New Age to her pop style. I think they're also an indication of the direction she wants to take her career in her next production. If she does it'll be a sea change. Anything like these two tunes and she'll have the most ethereal yet subtly whimsical album since "Yellow Submarine."

But there's still a lot of the "old" Robyn to appreciate, too. It is, after all, a dance album. [After ABBA, it's like dance CDs are now required by Swedish law!] "Keep This Fire Burning" is actually a good tune despite the bad video but if you want to dance, try "Big City." And if you dance way too much, there 's "Psycho." Our Girl has a dark side to her that attracts I-don't-know-what but telling these guys off must be the highlight of her life. She also borrows a couple of bars from "Lady Marmalade" that make "Psycho" kick like a stiletto heel.

Of course I'm 105 years old and maybe I'll be the only one to appreciate a Big Band standard from the 40's called "Regntunga Skyar" ("Rain-Soaked Skies"). Alice 'Babs' Nilsson is a legend in Sweden and Robyn's voice is a fitting tribute to her. And I'll definitely be the first in line to buy an entire CD of Robyn as cabaret singer. I should live so long, but Robyn definitely has 60 years of experience in a 24 year-old voice.
