High School Musical : The Songs.......2007-06-13

High School Musical Special Edition CD $12.98


Did you like the High School Musical movie? If so, try the soundtrack! It's the same great songs, singers and fun. Every song (there is eleven) is the same as in the movie except now there is a chance for you to multi-task while enjoying the same singers from the film. Some include Mathew Gerrard, Ray Cham, Adam Watts, Faye Greenberg, Jamie Houston and Kevin Quinn. I really enjoy these songs because they describe what is going on in the movie. For example: when Troy is playing basketball (Get'cha Head in the Game), Ryan and Sharpay's callback song (Bop to the Top) or when Troy and Gabriella meet each other (Start of Some thing New).


I really enjoy these songs. I have memorized each and every one of them and sing along when I listen to this CD. Every song has a catchy tune, so soon, you'll be singing along too. With a High School Musical soundtrack, you can even sing along when you watch the movie. My favorite song is "When There was me and you". It is when Troy and Gabriella don't think they should go to callbacks. Just a little bit after this song they decide to go to callbacks.


I recommend this soundtrack for those who like the movie, High School Musical. The songs are a mix of upbeat, sad or just plain silly. Everyone will enjoy these just as much as they liked they movie. Those who haven't seen the movie will want to see it after listening to this soundtrack.

thought it was a TRUE karaoke version.......2007-06-02

Having already owned the original movie soundtrack, I purchased the "karaoke" version to use with my middle school choir for "We're All in This Together". My idea of a karaoke song is background music only (instruments, not vocals.) It wasn't until I listened to the cd that I discovered that the song included ALL background chorus vocals. The only thing left out were the solos by the main characters. Quality was fine, content was disappointing.

Very good.......2007-03-31

This is a very good soundtrack for a very good movie. The first disc is the original soundtrack and the second disc is karyoke versions of most of the songs.

Not my choice if you're looking for a karaoke cd.......2007-03-29

This version of hsm is a two disc set. The first is a "regular" cd of the hsm soundtrack. The second is a "bonus" karaoke disc. I give the regular disc gets 5 stars but the karaoke disc gets about 2 stars. Why? Well, it only has instrumentals. Most CD+G discs out there (certainly ones meant for kids) have, say, the first 8 tracks instrumental and the next 8 tracks with vocals. My kids (and most others I know) prefer to sing along with the artist. So if you're just looking for a HSM cd, buy this one. If what you really want is a good karaoke cd, buy the Disney karaoke series cd (red and yellow cover, must say cd+g).

Great CD for Kids - and Parents Too.......2007-03-22

Hi Parents - This CD is great. I bought this for my 4 & 5 yr old daughters. This CD is good for kids because it is a change from the typical kid songs that you hear all the time, yet does not have the adult language of popular youth songs today.

The songs are pretty catchy and as a Dad of two daughters, I would even admit that some of the songs are enjoyable to listen too.

A great buy for the money!

Amazon.com

If your impressions of Ashley Tisdale are fuzzy around the edges but include visions of singing schoolgirls, blond supercuteness, and shrieking, hysterical 10-year-olds, you'll want to check them at the door before checking out Headstrong. It's not that fourth graders won't like the long-limbed High School Musical star's hooky, happy, and at times hyper solo debut. It's just that you might, too. Tisdale, a little like Lindsey Lohan and not at all like Hilary Duff, doesn't waste time ditching her groovy-juvie reputation to reimagine herself as a red-hot starlet here. "He Said She Said" is a steamy dancefloor seduction that ought to come with a PG-15 rating ("Baby I can see us moving like that/Baby I can see us touchin' like that," it goes), and "Not Like That" mines familiar misunderstood-celebrity territory in a way that's less whiny than worked-up. The thing is, it all sounds pretty good--from the head-bobbing urban beat in "Be Good to Me" to the fuzz and boingy effects on "Over It," Tisdale proves her appeal is not limited to junior proms. Which is not to say she doesn't leave a little something for fans who still dot their I's with circles: One of Headstrong's strongest numbers, "Unlove You," is tailor-made for belt-outs in pastel-pink bedrooms. --Tammy La Gorce

Album Description

Includes songs from the hottest writer-producers on the planet, including The Matrix (Britney Spears, Avril Lavigne), Scott Storch (Usher, Chris Brown), Kara DioGuardi (Gwen Stefani, Ashlee Simpson), Shelly Pieken and Guy Roche (Christina Aguilera), and Adam and Nikki Anders (Backstreet Boys, Sheryl Crow), Headstrong is a mix of edgy, rhythmic dance-pop from the new musical queen for 'tweens and teens.

Customer Reviews:

It's sad that she can get a record deal .......2007-07-13

Like many of us, I first saw Ashley Tisdale on "The Suite Life of Zack and Cody" I thought she was a decent actress. And then she opened her big mouth and started singing. After that all I could think was "They better not give her a record deal." Unfortunately, our worst nightmare was brought to life as "Headstrong" was brought into the world.

1. Intro-This sounds more like what I'd expect to hear on the commercial for the cd, not the cd itself. Who actually wants to listen to this crap? I doubt Ashley even worked on this track, but just let the sound-tech throw it together for her.

2. So Much For You- I didn't know a demented elf could get a record deal. It sounded like crappy techno sung by a five year old. It was also very repetitve.

3. He Said She Said- I don't think these lyrics are appropriate for Tisdale's main audience. And don't try and defend her by saying that she doesn't want the dopey kiddie audience. If she didn't want the dopey kiddie audience she shouldn't have been in a dopey kiddie movie.

4. Be Good to Me- "Can you be good to me?" NO! this song is childish, especially when teamed with Tisdale's childish vocals.

5. Not Like That- This song is arrogant and rude. Trust me, Ashley, NO ONE is jealous of you. After all, what is there to be jealous of? A whiny voice, a part on the disney channel (Like we want that kind of embaressment). Oh and we'd have to be known for the character Sharpay. Oh yeah, I'm sure everyone is dying to be like you. People are probably only staring at you because you're such a bad dancer.

6. Unlove You- This song could be better if someone like Kelly Clarkson sang it. I'm serious, I've heard a cat being held by the tail, and it sounded better then Ashley when she attempts those high notes (unsuccessfully might I add) Also, when she wasn't destroying my hearing the song was just plain boring.

7. Positivity- This song is positivly horrible. Just like all of Ashley's other songs.

8. Love Me for Me- "I'm not the girl you see in the magazine." Believe it or not, YOU ARE the girl in the magazine! So shut up and be happy.

9. Goin Crazy- Ashley, there's a reason why the guy you want doesn't like you. Want me to tell you? Because you're obnoxous and self-centered.

10. Over It- First off, if you're over it then why are you singing about it Ashley? Second of all, I don't blame the guy one bit for cheating on you. If I were a guy and was dating you I would be smashing my head against a brick wall.

11. Don't Touch (The Zoom Song)- If I wasn't reading the lyrics while listening to this, I wouldn't be able to hear what she was saying. Which, looking back, isn't a bad thing: "U wanna get somewhere, don't touch me there." And, "You want to score but it's not a game." Are dirty lyrics I would expect from Christina Aguliera's "Dirty" days. Not a wannabe from Disney Channel.

12. We'll be Together- Just what we need, another pointless love song. What, is there a factory that cranks out this crap?

13. Headstrong- The only good part is the strings in the beginning. The tune isn't that bad but it's not that good either. I will say that this is one of the few songs on the album that might've been written by a musician. However I doubt the lyricist had a 2nd grade degree in English: "Meltdown it's not a crush in a hot hot room we're in a rush."...WTF?!

14. Suddenly- If you didn't know what I was talking about when I called her self-centered, this song explains it all. If people know your name it may be because they laugh and make fun of you for thinking you are a superstar. News flash Ashley: You're not on center stage. You're in High School Musical. Probably becuase they couldn't find anyone dumb enough to say "Zip zap zop, pop like a mop." With a straight face.

I do hope we've made our point about Ashley. She can't sing, is not impressive in the least and looks to me like someone who's try and fail miserably to get on "America's Got Talent." She's not good enough to try out for AI. Someone should tell her.

Bad Singing!.......2007-07-09

Wow! when I listen to this cd for the first time I was really disappointed!!! Ashley cannot sing! It seems like the music overpowers her voice! 1 or 2 of the songs were okay, the rest was not worth the money I spent! I definately would recommend Vanessa Hudgens or Corbin Bleu over this cd! I'm selling this cd right back on Amazon! Any takers?

Blonde and insignificant........2007-07-01

How did Ashley Tisdale (The Suite Life of Zack & Cody) get to record an album is beyond me. First of all, she can't sing and can barely act. This kind of album is for teeny-boopers and airheads. Stay clear of this one-hit wonder, she has no talent, no songwriting ability and she's annoying as hell. Be smart kids and destroy this one.

Good CD..great lyrics..except for one song.......2007-06-27

I thought the CD was almost top quality. My only reservation was the 3rd song "he said she said," whose message was contradicted by an excellent "don't touch." Other than that song, this CD is a must buy...excellent music and lyrics....very inspirational.

The big question about this soundtrack is: how's she doing? No, not Beyoncé, silly--how's Jennifer Hudson doing? And more specifically, how's she doing by "And I Am Telling You I'm Not Going"? To this reviewer's ears, she doesn't top the original Effie, Jennifer Holliday--or even Lillias White, from the 2001 Dreamgirls in Concert. On the other hand, Hudson isn't afraid to pullout all the stops, whipping herself up into a total diva frenzy as the song getscaught up in an unstoppable crescendo. As for Beyoncé, she adapts superbly to the 1960s- and 1970s-tinged material, though "Listen"--a ballad that also appears on her own B'day album--lacks the spirit that infuses the classic tunes on this album. For make no mistake: this is hard-hitting, high-octane music, infused with an urgency and passion that makes most contemporary R&B albums sound timid. When Hudson and Beyoncé duke it out on "It's All Over," or when the "One Night Only" ballad gets reinvented as the dance-floor burner "One Night Only (Disco)," the sheer energy flowing from the speakers is transporting.

Note that the two-CD Deluxe Edition features a larger booklet and additional tracks, including dance remixes of "One Night Only" and "And I Am Telling You I'm Not Going," as well as composer Henry Krieger's demo of "Patience." --Elisabeth Vincentelli

You GO Girl!.......2007-07-12

This music, this movie, this Script is so awesome! An amazing portrayal of a struggle for stardom. Beyonce' is beyond beautiful and "represents" the icon "supremely" (sorry...had to go there!). The music is so well written, I love each and every track! Enough has been said about Jennifer Hudson, she has won her due, but ALL the actors did an amazing job.

If you like the movie you'll like the album........2007-07-11

Great music from the movie. My only complaint is it's literally pulled from the movie, so it's a little weird to listen to it while not watching the movie, the singing dialog from the movie. Jennifer Hudson is the highlight throughout the album.

If you want to live the Dream, this CD will always be there..........2007-06-16

If you want to live the Dream, this CD will always be there...

I love this CD...it takes me right through all the emotions and action of the movie. Nothing is left out, all of my favorites are included even the less commercial cuts like Eddie Murphy's "Jimmy Got Soul" which gives the CD a well rounded feel.

Great Movie, Even Better MUSIC..........2007-06-16

Dreamgirls IS the best musical since GREASE... HANDS DOWN!! great songs and great performances by Jennifer Hudson, Beyonce, Jamie Fox, Anika Noni Rose, and especially Eddie Murphy... that boy did his thang acting and definatley singing. i almost forgot that eddie murphy had a really good singing voice...

of course the showstopper "and i am tellin u (im not going)" is my favourite song. im only 23 and im familiar with the original version performed by jennifer holiday. i love the original but to me J-Hud Killed it!!!! i perfered her version just because it was heartfelt and she performed it OUTSTANDINGLY in the movie. i cried in the theaters when she performed it... STANDING OVATION!!!!

my other favourite track is "i meant you no harm/jimmy's rap". i love the beginning of the song. eddie murphy SANG that song. then it threw me off when he started rappin. that rap was too funny!

all the other songs were great but here are my joints:
"move"
"one night only" (original)
"one night only" (Disco) (my favourite of the 2)
"cadillac car"
"I want you baby"
"dreamgirls"

this does not have all the songs on the movie. you have to purchase the deluxe edition of get "heavy" 'effie sing my song" and more...

this is probably my favourite SDTK i own and i definantly reccomend this SDTK to anyone... and the movie is as good and the songs!!!

I love it....I dooooo!.......2007-06-13

Great CD! A total sing along. Puts me in a great mood!

OVERATED!!!!.......2007-07-05

High School Musical is a good movie. But they can stop with the soundtrack. All you hear is "Were All In This Together". Yeah right, thats why Vanessa and Ashley fight over Zac. And Corbin wants the spotlight off of Zac and on himself. Just a weird and messed up Cast.

O.K., But not exciting........2007-05-24

This CD is good for High School Musical fans, but I got sick of the CD in a hurry. Not that it's bad, it just doesn't have anything new and exciting. If you're a fan may-be you should get it, but it's not outstanding. I did like lucas and and ashley's duets, and Vannessa's solo though. But it's not worth the money. Either you get it at an expensive music store, or you pay for it for half the price online, but have to pay a whole bunch of shipping and handling bills. Not worth it. May-be High School Musical 2 will have something better.

High School Musical.......2007-05-16

All of these songs are good! But some are better than others.

My top 3 are: Bop to the Top, I Can't Take My Eyes Off of You, & Stick to the Status Quo.

Both versions of What I've Been Looking For are good yet Ryan & Sharpay's is better. I think that is because the song is faster.

The B5 Get'cha Head in the Game is not very good and the orignal is MUCH better.

While When There Was Me and You is very pretty and a good song it's kinda depressing and doesn't match the up-beat plot and music the rest of the movie has.

I Can't Take My Eyes Off of You is a very underated song. I for one liked it very much and its my 2nd favorite song in the movie.

Bop to the Top is my numero uno song of the CD. I like it alot and try to memorize the words.

Start of Something New is a nice song and fits in well but somehow doesn't excite me very much in the way my favorites do.

Breaking Free is a very pretty song. While I may not understand 100% why it is better than Bop to the Top I like it.

We're All in This Together is not very good at all. While it fits in where it is, it is just not very good.

Stick To the Status Quo is a very good song and is my #3 favorite on the CD. Sharpay and Ryan's part sticks in my head and I love it when Sharpays screams " Everybody quiet" yet the students continue to sing!

That is my opinion and I have included a few words on each song. Bottom line? BUY IT!!!!!

An Awesome Disney Effort.......2007-04-20

Ok Disney has now started a instant hit. This movie has set off alot of stars in their singing and acting careers eg. Vanessa Hudgens, Ashley Tisdale, Corbin Bleu and Lucas Grabeel. It has also set off Kenny the director into launching The Cheetah Girls 2 another instant hit. Now this CD has sold LOTS AND LOTS of copies all over the world. If you need help deciding if you like it and the songs on it here are some song reviews to give you an idea [considering I own it]

The Start OF Something New: This song is very pretty and it sort of symolizes the star of the movie saying that they meeting each other is the start of something new which it is.

Get Cha Head In The Game: This song is very up beat and energetic. It is about foccasing on what he should be doing [as his teamates think anyway].

What I've Been Looking For: This is very catchy and fun to dance to. In fact it has simple lyrics and dance moves that will keep you dancing and singing to it for days on end

What I've been looking for reprise: This is alot slower that the first version. But all the same it is very pretty.

Stick To The Status Quo: This one is good to dance to and I like one part in it [Sharpay: this is not what I want this is not what I planned and I just gotta say I do not understand somthing is really... Ryan: somethings not right. Sharpay: really wrong... Both: and we gotta get things back where they belong..] and [Gabriella: why is everybody staring at you. Taylor: not me you. Gabriella: because of the callbacks I can't have people staring at me I really can't] but overall it really annoys me nto the best.

When There Was Me and You: this one is very pretty and emotional in fact I can't describe it it is so good

Bop To The Top: this song is fun and easy to dance to you can also learn the movie dance on the DVD.

Breaking Free: This song shows the chemistry between Gabby and Troy very well it is also very catchy and fun

We're all in this together: This is fun and energetic it will stay in your head for days on end and you won't be able to get it out.

I Can't take my eyes off you: This is cool and kinda weird cuz Ryan and Sharpay sing it too.

this is a great CD and I RECOMEND IT [excuse the caps]

Vanessa Hudgens is not "indescribable," as the MC who opens V proclaims in a hopped-up, hyped-out voice. On the contrary, the smoky-eyed High School Musical star commands a multitude of adjectives--she's adorable, talented, ambitious, and as this debut makes clearer than a set of invisible braces, young. With one foot in the grown-up, club-going world and the other in a powder-pink bedroom with a Barbie under the bed, Hudgens kicks out a crop of hooky and highly accessible tracks here. First single "Come Back to Me" dabbles in a sophisticated breed of disco, "Let's Dance" lets rip a whispery torrent of R-rated come-ons, and "Let Go," bolstered by its girls-night-out lyric, loses its inhibitions beneath an R&B-lite beat. Elsewhere, on tracks no less compelling, Hudgens explores her inner Hilary Duff: "Drive" pops the hood on her pop-anthem side ("As long as I'm alive, I'm gonna drive"), and "Afraid" wrestles with a sense of vulnerability all wrapped up in teen hormones ("Why am I so afraid/I can't see what's come over me"). Split personality or no, Hudgens makes a strong case through her Anna Nalick-reminiscent vocals alone that she's someone worth watching--a lot of emotion pours through her still-developing pipes and, as anybody who saw High School Musical knows, the girl can twirl. -Tammy La Gorce

Album Description

Really Good Music!!.......2007-07-09

Fantastic music from an exceptional songstress!! A must for all who loved Vanessa in High School Musical. You won't be disappointed!

Amazing!!.......2007-06-03

This cd is so good, I'm addicted! I love Vanessa Hudgens music! I think it's one of the best cds out of the whole HSM cast! I love all the songs, but my favorites are Let's Dance, Say Ok (watch that video it feat. the hot Zac Efron), Baby Come Back, Make You Mine, and Promise. Some of her songs are so fun you can crank it up in the car. Some are really touching, you can relate. Oh! and it's a good cd for the kids too! This cd is worth your money, everyone should buy it! I give it 5 stars, 10/10, and 2 thumbs up! It's just as amazing as she is!

Another side of Vanessa Hudgens........2007-05-25

Vanessa Hudgens who has abandoned her second first name "Anne", releases a personnal and up close album with a lot of "ballades" and dance songs.
Vanessa has managed as the same time to create a romantic (When she sings "say ok" for example.) and modern atmosphere( Refer to "let's dance".) playing with her voice, some times deep and other times soft.
I'd say the girl knows she's got it all and she's right not to be ashamed to show it. She's really talented and with this "opus" she shows us that she's a star.

Headstrong

Pretty good stuff..........2007-05-24

I've been satisfied with Vanessa Hudgen's music. She is another positive role model for pre-teens. This is the girl from the popular "High School Musical" and her soulfulness appeals to the beginning of those preteen years--friends, family, self awareness, boys, etc.
I can get behind this as a parent.

The coolest album ever!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!.......2007-05-19

This album expresses so many feelings of Vannesa, its awesome.She expresses her happines ,love and the way she has fun.I love Vannesa she's one of the most coolest singers/actresses.YOU SHOULD BUY THIS ALBUM ITS SOOOOOOOOOOO GREAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

If you already own the High School Musical soundtrack, this live version may be a bit redundant; on the other hand, many of us just can't get enough of these songs, and it's fun to hear the stars of the movie perform them with live energy against a background of screaming fans--who occasionally sing along at the top of their lungs, as on "Breaking Free." The biggest change is that Zac Efron (Troy) didn't participate and was replaced by Drew Seeley. But Seeley acquits himself well of the task, particularly on his two big duets with Vanessa Hudgens, "What I've Been Looking For" and "Breaking Free." The former, as fans of the movie know, gets repeated in a super-poppy version sung by Lucas Grabeel (Ryan) and Ashley Tisdale (Sharpay), the kind of energetic performers who so often steal the spotlight from the nominal stars. In addition, Hudgens, Seeley, Tisdale, and Corbin Bleu (Chad) boost their solo careers by getting to perform bonus songs; they are from their respective albums but completely fit in the HSM sound. --Elisabeth Vincentelli

Lets Put on a Show.......2007-06-28

Those fans of High School Musical-If you remember the old Mickey Rooney & Judy Garland (KIDS LETS PUT ON A SHOW) movies, it is similar in vein..has taken the High School Musiacalmovie one step farther than the film did, The Concert.

Lets say it this way, ITS great entertainment!if you have not gone, go to the show. I wanted to go with my nieces and could not. I did viuw the concert DVD and I was Hooked. Note you do not need to see the movie to enjoy this show

These young preformers (all from the cast of HSM) put on a show that capture the spirit of the movie..thanks to their talent and the magic of Disney. It is great family entertainment, which many have gone away from.

The soundtrack recording is a live version of the show and allows the CD audience a chance to relive the moments and groove with it again. Long after the stage show is a memory. This could play on Broadway for the closing Disney Beauty and Beast

and on disk two is a 5 cut DVD on the concert to enjoy, Is it worth it. Well its NO Mickey and Judy, but it works as great fun-so listen and watch the magic with your kids, relations and others who are tween aged

Great for those that love HSM.......2007-06-13

If your child went to one of the High School Musical Concerts, this is a must have. Great DVD.

High School Musical Concert dvd .......2007-05-10

I love the cd and dvd the footage is awesome.

FInally, the real thing........2007-05-08

It's so nice to finally hear the true voices of High School Musical without studio interference. I was lucky enough to see the tour, and this cd confirms one thing: that Zac Efron did very little singing on the original soundtrack. Drew Seeley sounds exactly like the voice on the origianl cd, and I am glad that he is finally getting the chance to show who was really behind the voice in the original movie. Everyone else sounds great too, the audience is having an amazing time, and there are some new arrangements. All fans of HSM should buy this without question.

If You Didn't See the Concert..........2007-05-05

Then buy this CD/DVD!! I'm one of the (probably few) people who was not able to see the HSM concert when it came to the city closest to me. I heard that there was going to be a DVD of the concert coming out so naturally I went to Amazon when I learned it was finally available to pre-order (of course now you can simply buy this CD!).

I received it in the mail on May 1st (the day it came out) and listened to it -- all I can say is WOW. The energy in the audience really made the performers shine! Listening to the songs performed live was awesome and I could tell that much of their energy was fueled by the audience! I really liked that they included Push It To The Limit (Corbin Bleu), Say Ok (Vanessa Hudgens), Dance With Me (Drew Seeley), and We'll Be Together (Ashley Tisdale) on the CD. The songs from HSM are in a different order than they were in the movie, but that's what makes this concert so great.

Then there's the 2nd disc which is the highlights DVD of the actual DVD that will be coming out in June. I watched that as well and it was great! It left me wanting to see more. I have already pre-ordered the DVD. I really loved seeing the stars perform live; there's such a difference between the movie and the concert. The only thing I would have liked to see on the highlights DVD would be at least one or two of the songs that Corbin, Ashley, Drew, and Vanessa sang (preferrably Dance With Me). But hey, I'm sure it will be on the DVD.

I think my favorite feature on the 2nd disc were the cast interviews. You got to get a glimpse of what they did backstage before each show and insight on what each performer felt about the tour.

If you're a fan of High School Musical and didn't see the concert ... or if you did see the concert and want to see it again (or in this case, listen to it again and watch a little bit of it), then I highly recommend purchasing this! You will not be disappointed.

WONDERFUL!.......2007-05-12

Saw this movie with my husband before we were married. Loved the movie and enjoyed the record album for years. Record album disappeared along with the record player. Three years ago my husband passed away. Was so pleased to get this CD and be able to hear these songs again. Listening to the wonderful music on this soundtrack brings back many memories of happier times.

Camelot DVD.......2007-03-16

This was a great old motion picture...they do not make them like this anymore.

Buy this version!!.......2006-09-29

I owned this (the movie version) years ago as a record and loved it. Then I got rid of my records and switched to CD's. After several years I was missing my Camelot music. So I bought the Broadway cast version with Julie Andrews & Richard Burton (how could I go wrong?!?). I was quite disappointed and over the next couple years only listened to Camelot, perhaps, once more. Finally, I realized that I needed to buy the movie version of Camelot with Vanessa Redgrave and Richard Harris. Wow, I am delighted once again!! Now I find myself humming the songs and looking forward to hearing Camelot again.

camelooooooooooot.......2006-06-14

I loved this movie. The first act is alright, but after the Entre'act (intermission) it just gets even better. This director is a genious--everything he did about Merlin, about Wart/King Arthur took on such modern visual effects--mon dieu! how i love this film!

Simply the best!.......2006-05-30

This album is far better than the original Broadway album becaus eof one thing and one thing only...the singers are their songs. Where Julie Andrews has a great voice and can sing ever so high, Vanessa Redgrave has a sweet pleasent voice that gives life to the songs. Richard Burton is really mono tone and it is quite boring, whereas, Harris once again, becomes the songs and gives them emotion. Nero was dubbed, which is good, and Gene M has a better voice. I own both albums and like both, but this one is just better. It also sold more than the original and is one of the top 100 bestselling albums of the sixties, beating out Andrews The Sound of Music and Mary Poppins.

The names on this tribute testify to the extraordinarily wide appeal of the Italian film composer Ennio Morricone: not many people could get Bruce Springsteen, Celine Dion, Quincy Jones, Renée Fleming, and Metallica on one disc. And while the artists come from very diverse genres, the album holds together well. Things start off on a syrupy note with Dion's "I Knew I Loved You," a ballad from 1984's Once Upon a Time in America (to which Alan and Marilyn Bergman added lyrics in 2006). But fortunately the CD quickly recovers and goes on to survey most of Morricone's styles, from the dissonance of his spaghetti Western scores to his mod period to his lush orchestral vistas. Metallica goes all out with guitars blazing on "Ecstasy of Gold," a track they've used as a concert intro for years, while Brazil's Daniela Mercury and Eumir Deodato breeze through "Conmigo," and the French-British combo Vanessa and the O's resuscitate the pure '60s pop of "Je Changerai d'Avis," once performed by Françoise Hardy. As for ballads, listen for soprano Renée Fleming, who surpasses her previous pop-crossover attempts on the fragile "Sail Away." Morricone himself couldn't stay away: he wrote interstitial music to create seamless transitions between the tracks, and conducts three instrumental cues. --Elisabeth Vincentelli

Album Description

Receiving an Honorary Oscar® at the 79th Annual Academy Awards® for his lifetime achievement, composer Ennio Morricone has made a monumental contribution to more than 500 indelible film and television scores including "The Good, the Bad and the Ugly," "The Mission," "Once Upon a Time in America," "The Untouchables," "Cinema Paradiso" and others. To celebrate Maestro Morricone, 16 guest artist that include Andrea Bocelli, Chris Botti, Celine Dion, Renée Fleming, Herbie Hancock, Quincy Jones, Yo-Yo Ma, Metallica, Quincy Jones, Bruce Springsteen and others join in all-star performances of Maestro Morricone's most memorable music on his new album WE ALL LOVE ENNIO MORRICONE.

Customer Reviews:

This will DELIGHT Morricone fans!.......2007-06-12

Not sure what there is not to love about this disc. The interpretations are unique, sometimes quirky and always interesting; the recording is gorgeous; and Morricone's segues, which he composed and recorded, are very cool and show that much thought and creativity went into the overall production. (Only complaint is the absence of translations for the foreign-language tracks.) After reading some of these reviews, I had doubts about making the purchase. Now I'm so grateful that I did! Highly recommended!

A WONDERFUL TRIBUTE TO ONE OF THE GREATEST FILM COMPOSERS OF OUR TIME.......2007-05-27

I am a "die hard" Ennio Morricone fan and have been since 1968, so I can't understand for the life of me why the other reviews for this disk are so negative about this absolutely beautiful album!

I was thrilled to see Ennio finally receive an Academy Award this year! He deserved to receive many Academy Awards over the past 40 years for all his magnificent works. Next to Elmer Bernstein, I consider him my favorite film composer. Many of the selections on this album I had never heard before. Metallica playing "The Ecstacy of Gold" is absolutely reiveting! Andrea Bocelli is a perfect fit to sing Ennio's songs. Incidentally, Mr. Bocelli also sings two of Ennio's otherwise unknown songs on one of his older albums. Unknown to us in the USA only because Ennio has chosen to focus his life's work on mostly Italian film scores.

I only wish his scores were more accessable to us living outside of Italy. I have much of his film music, but it's still very hard to find. I truly feel that the genius of Ennio's music will not fully be appreciated until after he is gone from us.

So to anyone who really wants to know what a modern film score genius sounds like...BUY THIS ALBUM!!!

We all love ennio morricone.......2007-04-04

a very diverse and interesting collection of hybrid pieces based upon the work of morricone. my only complaint was that the invited artists were not highlighted enough in the pieces. otherwise, i would given this a 5. I especially liked the european flavor of many of the pieces.

Dissapointed in Ennio Marricone's Latest.......2007-03-31

This CD was a real disappointment. It was contrived by using famous names to sing songs that should have been orchestred pieces. Yo-Yo-Ma-Plays-Ennio-Morricone was superb and I had expected some of the same quality which is not there.

This will disappoint die-hard Morricone fans.......2007-03-29

Not that I'm a total die-hard fan, but I spent several years collecting the most obscure Morricone soundtracks I could find. And I just saw him perform at the United Nations and Radio City Music Hall in February 2007. Initially, I had high hopes for this CD. Those hopes didn't last much into the first listen...

This tribute album is cover versions of only (arguably) his most popular songs. The covers on this album pale, in general, to the originals. Some are just plain emotionless. Celine Dion and Metallica in particular manage to suck the life out of Morricone's originals. As cover versions, they're vulgar. But that's part and parcel of the Morricone catalog; in over 400 soundtracks, you will find as much beauty as you will vulgarity. In that respect, this CD might still represent his body of work even if it doesn't translate it very well. There is some good, some bad, and some just ugly.

We may all love Morricone, but we do not all love to hear his work treated the way some of these artists chose to treat it. If you're like me, you'll prefer to spend your money on Morricone's original works (though a few do appear on this CD). I recommend "Crime and Dissonance", a compilation of Morricone music curated by Mike Patton, released on Patton's Ipecac label.

Vanessa.......2007-05-06

Vanessa Williams has long been one of my favorite singers and entertainers out there and this compilation is a great example why. Featuring the now-classic pop ballad "Save The Best For Last" and the Oscar-winning "Colors Of The Wind" (which is my personal favorite on the album), among other hits, the album is an absolute winner. As for Vanessa herself, you just can't help but be captivated by her sheer beauty and talent (currently co-starring on "Betty"), I simply adore this woman. After all the turmoil she had to go through in the beginning of her career, she just started from scratch all over again and she did it in such an honorable way. She's a true role model - for everyone.

Good collection @}->---.......2006-02-11

I really like Vanessa Williams and over the years she has had a couple of big songs here and there. Some of the ones on this cd were never huge hits, but to her fans, we know them well. My personal favourites here are Betcha Never (a bit latin-ish and fun), Sweetest Days and Save The Best For Last. That song is now a bit of an anthem. She doesn't have the most powerful voice in the world, but it's pretty and her music is really beautiful. Maybe for fans only. I just wished she'd really come back with some new big hits.

Some very good, some less so.......2005-09-22

This CD has three great songs: Love Is, Save the Best for last, and Dreamin'. The rest of the songs are just OK. This is why it just doesn't pay to buy CD's. I can't recommend purchasing the whole CD just for three songs.

Just OK.......2005-08-18

I bought this CD in order to get a few of the "big hits," and that's what I got--no more, no less, as most of the other songs are just so-so.

LOVE IT!!.......2005-08-10

I grew up during the 80s and I am a big fan, so I enjoyed each song in this CD

Amazon.com

With her much-anticipated debut, ex-ballerina Vanessa Carlton more than makes good on the promise of her first single, "A Thousand Miles." Augmenting her classical training with a broad range of pop she soaked up playing New York City clubs and listening to classic rock in her father's car, Be Not Nobody finds the phenom decorating her fierce piano playing with orchestration, guitars, and percussion galore. "Prince" is sizzling and funky, while "Ordinary Day" displays a majestic grace and "Unsung" is a stomping blues-bar breakdown. Comparisons to Fiona Apple and Little Earthquakes-era Tori Amos (especially on the haunting "Sway" and "Wanted") are inevitable and justified. Yet Carlton sounds fresh, even on a menacing interpretation of the Rolling Stones' "Paint It Black." With the exception of the anemic ballad "Pretty Baby," this impressive debut makes a strong case that a new star has emerged. --Annie Zaleski

Customer Reviews:

Hyped and laudable debut full of liveliness.......2007-04-28

Be Not Nobody, the debut CD from piano pop sensation and ballerina Vanessa Carlton, actually makes for one whopper of an album. Her dazzling piano playing--along with lilting, jazzy vocals that are instantly recognizable--makes for a unique and radio-friendly style that couldn't be any more polished if it tried. Despite all of her hits, namely 2002's inescapable ballad "A Thousand Miles", Vanessa still has a firm grip on her craft to ensure that it doesn't become lost in mainstream chaos.

Her words are just as fleshed-out as her sounds. Of the twelve tracks, only three or four have a more depressing nature, but as a pop album that fact works out fine. "Ordinary Day", the fantastic, swelling opening song, tells Vanessa's tales of an unsuspecting lover who gave her the advice to "take my hand / Live while you can". Unsurprisingly, unrequited love and lovesickness play quite a role in her songs, adding a sprinkle of realism among the concoction of sensationalism and glittering piano melodies contained herein. "Rinse", for example, is a morose but fantastic account of a girl slowly driving herself insane over her unreturned feelings for a boy. It starts off almost rushed, but explodes into a tempest of guitar licks and desperate lines that lash out with nothing but the naked truth.

The low point here is probably "Prince", during which the album seems to be winding down into a rather lazy final 1/3, but it picks itself back up immediately with a cover of the Rolling Stones' classic "Paint It Black" and (the real gem here) "Wanted", which has a great deal of Vanessa's distilled voice unaided by instrumentation. She shows off a natural and viciously honest side of herself that is only exhibited once on the whole CD.

But through the whole thing, there is always the reassurance that Vanessa knows what she is doing and knows the right way to do it. After this album and her follow-up Harmonium exploded onto the music scene, there's no question about this artist's exuberance and, above all, just plain talent.

young and very talented.......2007-03-27

I usually buy music based on one artist's song. In this case, the song was 1000 Miles. I liked it the first time I heard it and my interest was rekindled when it was used in the movie 'White Chicks'.
After purchasing it and listening through it a time or two, I focused on each song as it played. The second song that has trumped 1000 Miles thus far is 'Paradise'. I've always appreciated an artist who uses a full orchestra and Vanessa is no exception. The piano and strings played in the first few seconds immediately grabbed my attention. Then came this innocent voice that quickly grew into a young woman in total control of a very compelling song. As a person quite a few years older than Vanessa, I feel hauntingly seduced by the maturity and control of this young womans voice.

First off the track listing is wrong on amazon..........2007-02-17

So I decided to post that. Here it is:

1. Ordinary Day
2. Unsung
3. A Thousand Miles
4. Pretty Baby
5. Rinse
6. Sway
7. Paradise
8. Prince
9. Paint It Black
10. Wanted
11. Twilight

Okay, now on to the review.

This CD is pretty good I must admit. While at times Vanessa can come off as whiny, all of these songs (minus maybe two of them) sound so different it keeps you interested. Vanessa isn't the strongest lyricist but her words do the trick.

Highlights: Ordinary Day, Prince, Paint It Black and definitely Twilight which is probably the best track here. A Thousand Miles is good too but it isn't my favorite anymore.

Lastly, I would like to say although this release is close to stellar, her follow up (which flopped) Harmonium, is the better CD. I do recommend it over this one because of songs like Who's To Say, Afterglow, Private Radio, Half A Week Before Winter and She Floats. Certainly great songs.

But all in all, I believe that if you like pop music that isn't too poppy then you should get this CD. ^_^

Bad Recording Quality.......2006-12-14

This disc has great songs on it, but they are recorded in a very poor manner. You can actually hear the microphone input clip on parts of certain songs. This is solely the fault of the recording engineer. In other parts you begin to wonder if the other instruments are the feature and not Vanessa.

If you are listening to this CD on a boombox or some HTIB system, you may not ba able to hear what I hear (I have Classe front end components pushing B&W 802D speakers.) When I purchase a CD I expect recording quality better than what I can do in my basement!

Great listen.......2006-10-26

I've heard Vanessa Carlton's "A Thousand Miles" on the radio but it wasn't until her second album released that had really begun listening to her music.I purchased Harmonium and was amazed at the lyrics of her songs and how she made the piano a subtle yet essential part of her songs.

Soon after purchasing Harmonium,I purchased Be Not Nobody.I had perceived the obvious growth in her lyrics and the topics sung compared to Harmonium,but her powerful lyrics and piano-playing had obviously been carried over from her excellent debut album.

My favorites include "Ordinary Day," "Rinse," "Paradise," and "Twilight." I do admit that some songs are harder to listen to than others,but you will always stuble on a song or songs like that on any album...I would think.

The album features some of the most mysterious lyrics that seem indecipherable at first,yet when you really listen,you perceive a song's simplicity and its message.

I'd recommend this album to anyone who has casually heard her songs on the radio and liked it.If you like that,you'll love what the entire album has to offer.
