Customer Reviews:

5 out of 5 stars LOVE IT!!!.......2005-04-11

If you get this CD, you WILL be blessed; they have been a balm to me; There was a song on this CD that I was looking all over for, and yesterday, I was looking for a song ("Do His Will" by the Rance Allen Group), and come to find out, I HAD the very CD myself; oh, what a blessing; So, now I have really wore this CD out since I found out I had it; My favorites is "Counterfeit Religion" by Dottie Peoples, "Drug Me" by the Canton Spirituals, and of course "Do His Will". that whole CD is all that, it will be a balm and blessing to you.

5 out of 5 stars Praise The Lord...WOW Gospel has returned!!.......2004-01-03

This compilation is the BEST of the WOW Gospel series in 3 years. Even Zomba thinks so, as the back CD cover says this is the most successful installment. No disrespect to WOW Gospel 2000-2002, but this compilation is just as good as 1998 & 1999 (which I consider the best). Maybe it's because of the quality of artists this past year or something else. The music is funkier, soulful, praiseworthy, and worth repeated rotation.

Progressive/Urban Gospel listening folks won't be disappointed in Disc 1. It alone is worth the price. Too many standouts to name, but 'King of Glory', 'God Has Not 4Got', 'That Ain't Nothin', 'Anyhow', 'Beautiful', and 'Without Him' are my favorites. I can't listen to Disc 1 without playing Tonex's 'God Has Not 4Got' and 'Anyhow' at least twice.

Traditional folks usually got their 'Praise On' with Disc 2. This time around, the titles and tempo are better mixed making for greater continuity. This ain't your Granny's Disc 2 this time and it actually sounds like it's part of the same compilation. 'In The Sanctuary', 'Anthem of Praise', 'He's The Greatest', 'There's Nobody Like Jesus', 'Praise Is What I Do', and 'Glad About It' are my favorites.

My only criticisms are the song editing and selection. They chopped the last 30 secs from Fred Hammond's 'That Ain't Nothin', cutting out a harmonizing-testifying-old school riff of praise. 'Let Us Worship Him' is a great song, however it is circa 1998. Would have rather heard something from her (Yolonda Adams) new album in it's place. Mary Mary's 'Can't Give Up Now' is also a great song, but it's circa 2001. Regardless of this, the album is exceptiontionally well compiled.

2 out of 5 stars Very disappointed.......2003-12-31

Never had purchased anything from the WOW series....probably won't purchase another again... I love gospel music, but this is far from being among the best of the best

5 out of 5 stars Give up the praise!.......2003-11-29

All phases of gospel are represented. From contemporary, to hand clapping church classics, to old school quartets. All the top gospel songs of the year are on this album. The WOW Gospel compelations just keep getting better every year. I collect each and every one and can't wait til 2004 is released.

5 out of 5 stars This CD is amazing.......2003-10-17

From "God has not forgot" to "Secret Place" to "He's the Greatest" this CD is amazing. I've never listened to a Wow Gospel CD where I did not skip over a single song. Songs that you can dance and shout to or sit and relax while meditating to, truly a great buy especially for the price. I think Wow has outdone themselves and finally a CD worthy of the reputation.

If you're looking to sample the Top 40 of today's Christian contemporary pop, look no further than Wow Hits 2003. Thirty artists and tracks on this diverse release provide enough musical flavors to whet your appetite. While it's not a true snapshot of the year's best, major labels EMI Christian, Provident, and Word combine to create a collection that certainly captures a good share of the market. Generations of CCM pop are represented here with big name acts Amy Grant, Michael W. Smith, and Steven Curtis Chapman, alongside next-generation stars Third Day, Newsboys, Jars of Clay, and Point of Grace. Sweet-sounding highlights include TobyMac's "Irene," FFH's "Open Up the Sky," and Audio Adrenaline's "Ocean Floor." Nicole C. Mullen ("Talk About It") and Jennifer Knapp ("Say Won't You Say") also contribute worthy tracks and strong proof of the prosperity of singer-songwriters in today's Christian music. Also nice to see the inclusion of Paul Colman Trio's "Turn" as a bonus track, since the release was one of the year's finest moments for the genre. --Michael Lyttle

5 out of 5 stars I love Jump5`s "All I Can Do"!.......2005-08-14

Jump5 is the real deal on this cd!Their song,"All I Can Do" is absolutely WONDERFUL!They are a great contemporary christian group that sends out a positive message!

P.S.-If you want to get Jump5 music,get some of their cd`s!Here are the cd`s they`ve made:"Jump5","All The Time In The World","All The Joy In The World(Christmas","Accelerate","Mix It Up(Remixes),"Dreaming In Color",or "The Very Best Of Jump5".


4 out of 5 stars Pop and classic Christian sound.......2005-01-26

I have most of the Wow C.D.s, and this one remains my favorite. It stays true to Christian origins and lyrics, but keeps a bright, bouncy quality. Some of the songs performed by women are a little too close to the Spears/Simpson breathy and squeaky, but with singers like Jennifer Knapp (who sounds like the Dido/Amy Lee type), and the boy bands mimick NSYNC and the Backstreet Boys. Despite that, this Wow year one of the better ones.

3 out of 5 stars WoW! Um, how 'bout just "Hmmm!".......2004-02-08

For the seventh consecutive year, Wow offers a collection of highlights from the contemporary Christian music genre. As a whole, there's a nice mix of styles and artists here. The strongest tracks come from seasoned performers in this genre such as Steven Curtis Chapman, Michael W. Smith, Amy Grant, Jars of Clay, and Newsboys. All five of these artists have featured prominently in the Wow series, and will likely continue to do so. Jennifer Knapp, Selah, Rebecca St. James, and Audio Adrenaline also make a strong showing. Ironically, two of the best tracks on this collection come as bonus features, Chris Tomlin's 'Enough and Paul Colman Trio's 'Turn.' Unfortunately, not everything is golden here. Some of the younger artists like Zoegirl, Jump5, and Stacie Orrico have much to learn from their more mature peers in the industry. In a genre vulnerable to saccharine overload and lyrical cliches, this collection suffers from Christian music's inherent weakness, the difficulty of offering a fresh, meaningful perspective on life as a child of God in a musically inventive or original way.

5 out of 5 stars PERFECT.......2004-02-04

IT was every thing you'll hope for! EVERYTHING!!!!!
It has just variety of artists and songs. IT's a mix of many kinds of music, from rap to pop. Wow 2002 is also a really aewsome cd. THe lyrics are good, you get get a lot out of them.

5 out of 5 stars Great for anyone.......2003-09-28

This cd is a great representation of inspirational music. No matter how I feel the Wow complimation makes me feel that much better. I enjoy most of the groups. The songs seem to get better each time I listen to them. Most people who think of Christian music think of songs that lack a good beat and have the same message. The wow collection can get you into the groove with a great message that doesn't drown non Christians. Anyone who wants to feel better or has been down this is a must buy.
