Hit: 3 Stars
While this CD is a pretty good buy for the number of songs & it demonstrates quite a variety of styles, I was disappointed in it. Partly, it's my own fault because I'd already downloaded the 3 IMHO best songs: Track #10: Nelly Furtado's "Say It Right," #14: Carrie Underwood's "Before He Cheats," & #15: Plain White T's "Hey There Delilah." Yes, there are some other good songs on the album, but not IMHO good enough for me to pay to download them. I don't buy albums much anymore because I usually only REALLY like a couple or three songs on an album (to put into iTunes/iPod)--it's cheaper to download them. This album is a case in point. I did like #'s: 5 (Maroon 5), 6 (Feist), 19 (Nickleback), & a few others. But I totally didn't like quite a few. Maybe I'm out of synch with the music world? Or maybe it's out of synch with me?
But, of all the prior reviews (& the reason I'm writing this review--since you, kind reader, no doubt have your own taste--quite different from mine) none spoke to Aguilera's "Candyman." Is this a great song? Probably not. But, is it the most interesting song on the CD? Yes, it is. Why, because (as most of you can't remember because you weren't born yet) it's a take-off on the music of the Andrews Sisters era (before my time too, but my parents had this music, so I heard it too) such as "The Boogie Woogie Bugle Boy of Company B." The singing is a bit different, but the music is VERY similar, in fact I think some of the music was "borrowed." Just thought I'd share a bit of trivia with you. Hava grt day!
