Free Music Notes for Bye Bye Birdie: The New Soundtrack Recording (1995 Television Cast)
Free Music Review: Absolutely Wonderful
Hit: 4 Stars
I do not own this CD or any other Bye Bye Birdie soundtracks. However, just from listening to the samples on this website I can tell which one is obviously the best. If you don't believe me, just listen to them yourself. I am comparing the songs from this, the 1995 television recording, the 1960 Broadway, and the 1963 movie. Here is a list of *some* of the songs and my opinions:
An English Teacher
1995: Vannessa William's voice is lovely.
1960: I prefer the first one. I think Chita Rivera's voice sounds too old fashioned.
1963: not included
The Telephone Hour
1995: I am IN LOVE with this song, almost as much as I am with Harvey Johnson. (Yes, I am a hormone-riddled teenager, so I can relate to this song.) Whoever plays Harvey has a great voice and sounds charmingly vulnerable. It is hard to keep from smiling as you listen to this flock of gossiping teenagers.
1960: You have no idea how much I am cringing right now. Everyone, especially the girls, is more yelling than singing. The overall impression is very cheap.
1963: Though very upbeat, this rendition seems quite annoying and Harvey was obviously trying to sound as bad as possible.
How Lovely To Be A Woman
1995: Yes, Chynna Phillips is too old, although it's not that noticable. Also, though her voice has a nice tone, she goes off key occasionally and is not the best for the role.
1960: But then again, neither is this woman. Ugh.
1963: Despite the constant bashing of Ann-Margaret from other reviewers, I think she's pretty good. Am I missing something?
Put On A Happy Face
1995: Great!
1960: Also great!
1963: Not bad at all......
A Healthy, Normal, American Boy
1995: Very enjoyable.
1960: Er.....those girls seriously need to work on enunciating their vowels.
1963: N/A
Honestly Sincere
1995: Woot! Mark Kudisch is AMAZING! I can't think of anyone more perfect for this role. He sounds exactly like a renown Elvis impersonator. You can't stand still while listening to this song!
1960: Not nearly up to par with Kudisch's performance. Good, though.
1963: Are you kidding? (Although the background screams are mildly amusing.)
Hymn For A Sunday Evening (Ed Sullivan)
1995: I love the part where the chorus joins. The energy is awesome.
1960: Boring in comparison.
1963: Ditto.
One Last Kiss
See Honestly Sincere.
Kids
1995: I love this song! I think both parts were cast perfectly--yes, even George Wendt, especially George Wendt actually. His is a character role, and he does it perfectly, so that every teenager wants to strangle him. Kids sounds very lively.
1960: Not as polished or well-acted as the 1995 one.
1963: Enjoyable, actually. Very different from the other two.
Spanish Rose:
1995: Williams is very nice on here.
1960: Way too over-acted. It sounds pretty bad.
1963: absent
That's all I really want to write down........[...]
