Free Music Notes for Fame the Musical (1999 Original American Cast Recording)
Free Music Review: This will never be the movie
Hit: 2 Stars
I have listened to 3 versions of this musical and seen 1, I've read the script and played the music. and it all boils down to the point that the musical is too much of a bad spin off of the movie. It saws that the movie isn't real life and that the musical is. But in fact the movie is by far more realistic than the musical, so please unless don't by this cd expecting to hear the award winning music of Micheal Gore from the movie FAME because you'll be dissapointed when you hear at most 30 secs of the movies music.Free Music Review: Two words...

...European cast. Avoid the US version of "FAME". The sound quality is severly lacking. Pick up the European cast version instead. The European cast CD has the exact same tracks on it PLUS a dance remix of the title song.Free Music Review: FAME, the stage musical, is trying to cash in on the movie.

I was really hoping for something special when I bought the CD for the stage musical FAME. Boy, was I disappointed. There is not ONE song that remotely compares with the quality of the original Michael Gore score for the movie. Even the songs for the TV show were better! This CD about high school kids sounds like it was written BY high school kids. Very weak, very obvious rip-***s of concepts gone before. I'm sure that on stage the cast has energy, but on disk the lyrics (embarrassing rhymes) and melodies (nothing remotely intelligent) are just poor. Some of the voices are OK, but its hard to listen to Regina Le Vert's damaged voice for an entire track. I'm sorry, but FAME should be called LAME!Free Music Review: A Poor Attempt At A Great Musical - Robert Edmunds

After hearing the first two tracks of this recording , I immediately grabbed my copy of the London Cast Recording and played it 3 times in a row! I expected much more of this CD, considering the reviews that I have read previously, and that most Broadway and American recordings are sometimes a lot better than British ones. The singing is very weak and the orchestrations are really lousy. It is almost as if the musical director has a completely different score in front of him. There are, however two tracks that save the day - "These are my Children" and the Finale "Bring on Tomorrow". However, if you want to listen to a first class production, DON'T buy this!Free Music Review: AWFUL

I think I figured out why none of the cast members aren't famous... they can't sing! Who casted this? They need to be fired. We need fresh voices WITH TALENT to portray Broadway's up and coming. Believe me, the characters in this show won't be 'makin it' anytime soon.
