One spin through the debut of Austin-based singer-songwriter Sunny Sweeney and you may think you've entered a time warp: The Longview, Texas, native so hearkens to the honky-tonk era of the '60s and '70s that you half expect to find her on an old kinescope of one of those syndicated Nashville TV shows, the special guest ("Let's bring up a little gal now from Texas...") of the Wilburn Brothers or Porter and Dolly. Sweeney isn't a power vocalist--she'd be called a "girl singer" in the old days, stepping up demurely to do her song or two--but she's got a sense of humor, poking fun of herself on "Next Big Nothing" and insisting if you play one song in reverse, you get a broken heart. She can also cop an attitude when she wants, as on "Heartbreaker's Hall of Fame," an original tune where she evokes the good-ol'-gal assertiveness of Loretta Lynn. Sweeney has fine taste in covers, too, offering up Iris DeMent's 'Mama's Opry" and the Lacy J. Dalton hit "16th Avenue," as well as two songs by Jim Lauderdale, who lends his vocals to Keith Sykes's "Lavender Blue." Otherwise, Sweeney doesn't seem to care a flip about what's going on anyplace but right there in the Lone Star State, keeping things twangy, tangy, and tonkin', the teardrop pedal steel functioning almost as a duet vocalist, and her guitarists eschewing Music City formula riffs for stuttering electric solos and the occasional walking bass. It's been a long time since any young female--think Joy Lynn White, maybe--got this deep-dish country. Sweeney may never get on the radio, but she'll keep the sawdust swirling on the dance floor for a long time to come. --Alanna Nash
Album Description
Heartbreaker's Hall of Fame, recorded in Floresville, TX and co-produced by Sunny with producers Tommy Detamore (guitar, pedal steel, lap steel, Dobro) and Tom Lewis (drums), isn't one of those quiet, timid little baby-steps records that slowly grows on you with hints of future potential. It explodes into the room with an ultra-confident, Texas-sized "HOWDY!" and demands your full attention.
Listen to Sunny rip and swagger her way through the dozen songs on Heartbreaker's Hall of Fame, and you wonder: Where has this gal been hiding until now? The first thing that grabs you is her voice - a big, bold and brassy instrument that brings to mind both the classic female country singers of the `60s and `70s that she grew up on as part of a country-music-loving family (both her grandfather and stepfather played in bands) as well as two of Sunny's biggest modern influences, Natalie Maines and Kasey Chambers, at their most unapologetically untamed. It's a voice that all but screams Sunny's adopted slogan: "Get your honky-tonk on!"
And on Heartbreaker's Hall of Fame, Sunny does just that. From winning originals like "Ten Years Pass," "Slow Swinging Western Tunes" and the title track, to classy covers of tunes by some of her favorite writers (including Iris DeMent, Keith Sykes, Thom Schuyler and Jim Lauderdale), it's an album that has little in common with either pop country or "Texas country." It's country, pure and simple - as primed for a Lone Star honky-tonk as it is the Grand Ole Opry or any radio station that still makes room for George and Tammy and Merle and Loretta.
Customer Reviews:
My goodness, Sunny!.......2007-05-22
Fantastic! I heard Ms Sweeney on a satellite radio station and was immediately hooked. She has such a sweet honesty in her voice, and her songs tickle that ol' thinkin' bone stuck up in the brain. I was most pleased with this cd and look forward to much, MUCH more from Sunny Sweeney. My family members will be getting this cd in their Christmas stockings!
Dancehall cowgirl.......2007-05-12
This is a great sound for country dancehall music. Kick-back with a cold beer and wear your cowboy boots. You'll feel like your in Austin, Texas on a summer Saturday night.
Crucial Country.......2007-05-09
I absolutely love Sunny Sweeney and this CD! The video for "If I Could" came across my path on YahooMusic one nite and I loved it. The CD has some tracks that are worth the 'price of admission' each by themself, including "East Texas Pines", "If I Could", and "Next Big Nothing". Great vocals, great pedal steel, strong guitar work. This album has revitalized my interest in singing again.
Move over Gretchen Wilson.......2007-04-21
Sunny does a perfect job of making honky tonk music with catchy tunes a twang in her voice and powerful rhythm. I find her similar to Jill King and Julie Reeves also great sounding country artists. I highly recommend this album to the serious country music lover.
Catching Texas twang with a gift for lyrics.......2007-04-17
Sunny Sweeney's debut album, Heartbreaker's Hall of Fame is compelling and catching. It feels more like a live honky-tonk performance in part because it has the pared down sound of a great bar band and not the over produced sound of too many studio albums. Sunny is a singer song-writer. The album offers a mix of her work and that of other song-writers.
What first caught my ear was the song, "If I Could." It's an infectious anthem for the average worker with an auctioneer's tempo for the catchy chorus. I found this song through Yahoo's Music Videos Country Music channel. Yahoo generates a play list, including new offerings based upon your past selections and ratings. It works. I loved this song and bought the album. A lot of catchy songs don't move me to buy. Sunny got my money.
Another special treat is a cover of, "16th Avenue," a song made famous by Lacey J. Dalton. The cover nicely matches the rest of the album in voice and tone and is not an exact copy of Dalton's version. Sunny Sweeney makes it hers.
The album is solid and engaging. It is real Country Music and Texas genuine. I'll be watching for more from Sunny Sweeney. She reputedly has a great following around her home base in Austin, Texas. I think her fan base is set to grow.

Martin Short's 2006 Broadway show Fame Becomes Me is a love letter to old-school showbiz doubling as a send-up of self-serving celebrity memoirs. This "comedy musical" is obviously the work of someone who adores not only the golden age of Broadway but also that of a certain style of entertainment you may call vaudeville variety. The idea is that Short is looking back at his own life (with some libertiesif a celeb out there is not known for outrageous behavior, it's gotta be him) through songs and skits, and with the help of his own TV personae, such as Jiminy Glick and Ed Grimley. It helps that said songs were written by Marc Shaiman and Scott Wittman: The cocreators of Hairspray can zippily pastiche everything from The Wizard of Oz to Wicked. For this supposed ego trip, Short has also surrounded himself with a crackerjack cast that includes MAD TV's chameleonic Nicole Parker, versatile funsters Brooks Ashmanskas and Mary Birdsong, and Carpathia Jenkins, who blows the roof off the joint with the self-explanatory "A Big Black Lady Stops the Show"-a number that mocks the Broadway habit of hiring African-American belters for to deliver one song. In an ironic twist, Jenkins herself is woefully underutilized in Fame Becomes Me but at least she gets one of the two bonus tracks, "Frieda May's Lament," to herself. --Elisabeth Vincentelli
Album Description
In the grand American traditions of musical theater, sketch comedy and shameless self-promotion comes Fame Becomes Me, Martin Short's uproarious new comedy musical that has critics in hysterics! In Fame Becomes Me, the "phenomenally gifted" Martin Short (New York Post) and his "superb" cast (USA Today) sing, dance and mercilessly mock others as they race through a whirlwind revue that's part variety show, part celebrity send-up and "the best time on Broadway!" (WNBC-TV). Featuring original music from the composer and lyricist of Hairspray and South Park, Fame Becomes Me is Broadway's most riotous party and you're invited!
Customer Reviews:
Very Funny!.......2007-06-12
I admit I didnt know much about this show, and was under the impression it was a one man show of sorts and just comedy, but its not at all. The songs are quite amusing and witty and the cast and Short are in top form. Capathia Jenkins is especially hilarious in her musical turns. Definitely a keeper for Broadway musical fans. If you enjoyed the score of Hairspray, you should enjoy this too. (same people). Why am I the only person reviewing this?

Bow Wow opens his fifth CD, The Price of Fame with a solemn interview clip in which the rapper/actor discusses "the mental breakdown dealing with the price of fame," thus setting the stage for a deeply emotive release. For a handful of tracks, he does exactly that, showing fans--and his competition-- just how refreshing that can be. The disc's first single, "Shortie Like Mine," featuring fellow teen heartthrob Chris Brown finds Bow Wow spitting rapid-fire rhymes and embedding lyrical skills with his especially melodic rap style. "Tell Me" combines those same talents mixed with surprisingly candid subject matter: a plea to get his ex to come back to him. As he implores "I'm a whole different individual now/everybody but you invisible now" to compelling back beats and samples (thanks to co-Executive Producer Jermaine Dupri), it feels like the pair could create a new genre: emo/electro/hip-hop. Dupri's amped-up hooks drive the disc, staying consistent while Bow Wow's identity oscillates between a lover and a wanna-be gangsta. Other songs worth noting are the hidden track, an R. Kelly duet dubbed "I'm a Flirt" and the cheeky "Damn Thing" featuring Da Brat. On the downside, a number of tunes contain far too much thug posturing: "Bet That," "4 Corners" (featuring Lil' Wayne) and the 50 Cent-inflected "On Fiya" are filled with clichéd car/money/thug lyrics, causing Bow Wow's uniqueness to get lost in the flow. --Denise Sheppard

I like it but the edit has to go!.......2007-06-16
The CD is overall really good but its edited!!! His last album "Wanted" isn't edited at all he says "N****" plenty of times but on this every bloody word that is "innapropriate" is gone... Even Da*n... CMON!! UR MATURE NOW BOW WOW time to make an Explicit CD!!!

Fifth album.......2007-03-28
If you like Bow Wow's music, you will like this CD. That's all
Some collaborations are a little slack but it sounds very well
Another brilliant album
What a thief! "Outta My System" track is a stolen instrumental from French rapper Passi.......2007-03-20
What a damn thief Bow Wow is!
The song "Outta My System" is a stolen instrumental from French rapper Passi's track "79 a 97."
Don't believe me? Need proof?
Just listen to the track "79 a 97" on Passi's album titled "Les Tentations"....that's all you need to hear to find out the truth.
It's disgraceful and disgusting to see this Bow Wow guy having to steal and copy someone else's work just to make a quick buck.
I hope this review will begin to spread word about what a fraud this little punk is.
A disgrace!

We don't know whether Fame will, like its iconic, Irene Cara-sung title song insists, "live forever." But director Alan Parker's vibrant, ambitious 1980 tale of New York's High School of the Performing Arts has been remarkably influential, spawning a TV series, stage musical, and helping cast the mold--for better or worse--for the decades of pop-song dominated soundtracks that followed in its wake. But the innocent, urgent charms of the original won't be denied, and this release marks the album's first digital remastering, an edition supplemented by three previously unreleased bonus tracks (the wistful ballad "Miles From Here," as well as instrumental versions of the title track and Top 20 Cara hit, "Out Here on My Own," that underscore composer Michael Gore's pop-disco inspirations). --Jerry McCulley

Customer Reviews:
Fame is Super.......2006-11-17
Great music, wonderful music I found the soundtrack of Fame uplifting as well as toetapping.
A genuine RSO classic!.......2006-09-25
Here is an expanded version of the original 1980 RSO(Robert Stigwood Organization) release featuring the original 9-track line-up with instrumental versions of the title track and OUT HERE ON MY OWN. The vocal versions are performed by the film's star Irene Cara(both on hit parade in '80). There's also another previously unreleased track. DOGS IN THE YARD and IS IT OKAY IF I CALL YOU MINE? are performed by Paul McCrane who also appeared in the film. Another hit from this album is RED LIGHT,performed by Linda Clifford. Many of these songs were written by Dean Pitchford and Michael Gore(brother of Lesley). I SING THE BODY ELECTRIC is performed by the film's cast(Cara,Lee Curreri,McCrane and the late Gene Anthony Ray to name a few). This album was subsequently re-released around 1984 when RSO was bought out by its sister label Polydor,both subsidiaries of PolyGram.
Review of "FAME" soundtrack.......2006-08-01
I used this soundtrack--in LP form--many years ago when I first started teaching dance. This summer I used it as part of a dance history class. I used this music for the American Jazz Dance/Broadway Style section of the class, and my elementary age students had to create original choreography to the theme song--in the style of Bob Fosse. The music was appropriate for my theme and the age level of the students. After all these years, it's still catchy.
Fame.......2006-07-28
Glad I purchased a used copy, would not pay full price for this CD. Not what I expected
An Awesome OST! .......2006-05-21
I purchased this together with another CD sometime in December 2004. All the tracks are carefully remastered. What makes it more awesome are the bonus tracks! The previously unreleased "Miles From Here, and the instrumental Out Here On My Own, and Fame. Wow! What an inclusion! Makes me sing along, too.

"Vision--The Music of Hildegard von Bingen"? Make that "Hildegard--the Dance Remix." (Yes, it has been used on the dance floor of at least one New York City nightclub.) What else can you call it when Richard Souther takes the stark, ecstatic plainchant of the 12th-century abbess and adds heavily produced electronic trance-and-dance tracks? Souther's additions aren't bad in themselves--they are a bit New Age-y, yet danceable in a druggy 3:00-a.m. kind of way--but slather them over Hildegard's spare, intense chant melodies and the effect is perverse, if not just silly. Don't blame poor Emily van Evera--she is a fine interpreter of Hildegard, and EMI simply asked her to record some unaccompanied solo tracks of the abbess's music and send in the tapes; she had no idea what was going to be done with them until this disc came out with her name on it. This shows up in the final product: the gently fluid pulse van Evera applied to Hildegard's music (which would make perfect sense in the a cappella performance she thought she was giving) feels completely disconnected from the rigid rhythms inherent in Souther's electronic accompaniment. Now, there are a number of customer reviews, below, from listeners who like this title a great deal--have a look at them, check out the sound clips, and by all means get this title if you're interested. But, if you're curious about Hildegard, go to the recording that made her famous eight centuries after her death: A Feather on the Breath of God. --Matthew Westphal
Customer Reviews:
A very different style of Hildegard.......2007-01-30
This CD isn't quite the shining example of Hildegard's music, but it isn't dissapointing either. The new-agey music and the chanting go well together, but at times the mix is a little akward, and it is those moments when it seems that the vocals are just stamped on top of the music that takes away from this album. Otherwise, the music is pretty rich and conjures epic and heavenly images. I'd have to side with the 'purists' on this one: if you're a stickler for authentic sounding Hildegard music, go for the other albums such as Luminous Spirit because this one might come across as a little weird.
ONE WORD- 'AWSOME".......2006-12-15
I have been a fan of music since before I was born it seems- I have almost all of her music- but this is the star on the night sky- people keep trashing this album /cd- I think this is the best of her visions/music and if you want to be swept away on clouds of tone and dance with angels of light then BUY this cd- I love to darken the house , light the candles and let this one spin again and again- listen closely to " for the virgin' it will make you want to play this over and over again-also this entire cd was recorded in the catacombs- how spiritual is that, music/thought/words/visions from years turned to dust and stone- may this cd bring you back to a time when the world was innocent and gentle/have played this along with Enigma and people can not get enough of this cd!!!!!!!!!!
Very different. Hauntingly beautiful.......2006-03-01
I bought VISION, THE MUSIC OF HILDEGARD VON BINGEN without even hearing it first. I couldn't resist the album's cover art and the premise of recording the chants of a 12th century nun with modern original scores. I was delightfully surprised at how well the experiment works. The tracks are absolutely beautiful and haunting. In listening to one of the chants accompanied by an almost jarring drum beat, I felt as if I were dropped deep into a dense African jungle where a safari of large powerful natives are escorting small white hooded nuns to some mysterious lost city. A very different, very intriguing, very fine work.
"Every Element Has A Sound" ~ Heavenly Visions Of A Medieval Mystic.......2006-01-29
Hildegard Von Bingen (1098-1179), 12th century Benedictine nun, abbess and mystic wrote some of the most heavenly spiritual chants, psalms and canticles in the history of the Catholic Church. Compositions that are so unique and universal in appeal that they were embraced by the 'New Age Movement' more enthusiastically then they were originally by her own Church.
Similiar yet subtly different from the lofty, remote gregorian chants sung in the monastery, the music of Hildegard is much more accessible. Her experience of the 'Divine Mysteries' is conveyed in more emotional and earthy tones, thus linking the higher aspirations of the soul with the passionate nature of the human heart.
'Vision' was performed and recorded within the stone walls of St. Andrew's Church in Toddington, England, an almost perfect location to capture the medieval atmosphere of Hildegard's compositions. The female voices involved in this project are a sharp and welcome contrast to the all male gregorian choirs most of us are more familiar with.
Truly a mystical musical experience has been captured on these 17 exquiste tracks. For the spiritual seeker in all of us!
SUPERB MODERN CLASSIC.......2005-10-26
SOARING, ETHEREAL voices are followed by haunting, vaguely Middle Eastern new age sound. HILDEGARD meets ENIGMA. It works. The purists make no room for this kind of interpretation of Hildegard but I remind you that the Louvre built a separate museum to house the Impressionist art not because they were so valued but because they did not consider it serious art and would not put it under the same roof with the classics. Time made buffoons of them. Listen to the sound clips and judge for yourself.

Great Balls Of Fire.......2002-12-06
I Highly reccomend this CD. I like to hear Jerry Lee sing ballads and on this Cd he sings his best.He is in a catagory all by himself. Buy this one if you are a fan, you won't be sorry.
Nobody does it better.......2002-09-07
A lot of country stars used to sing "covers" of songs originally performed by others, and the results were usually not as good. Here, Jerry Lee Lewis sings a lot of old "standards" which technically are "covers" but with his unique vocal style and piano playing, it winds up being a new creation well worthy of attention. I originally bought both LP records containing the music on this CD, and they are two of my most treasured records of Jerry Lee's country period, which I think is his best genre. It is nice to have the CD so I can retire them from active playing. If you like the old standards, you will like the way Jerry Lee does them, I'm sure. I think he has more musical talent than any other performer of his generation and could have been greater than Elvis had he not made a few PR mistakes or if Elvis had not been so sexy looking to the women. But then again, he wouldn't have been Jerry Lee Lewis, the Icon. If folks would have only judged him on his music!

Excellent.......2005-06-14
An Excellent CD of live worship that captures the real elements of praise. I have to say that this CD is superb...different to the usual style of hillsong's music, and a little closer to UNITED live (but still with it's own feel). The vocals are excellent and the production is very well done giving the guitars and drums a rich sound.
One thing i have to point out is Natasha Bedingfield's vocals rip through the other backing singers (this is a good thing) as it adds to the sound of harmonies. all in all an excellent CD well worth the buy!
Hillsong London brings a fresh new sound!.......2004-08-19
I actually got this cd today, wasn't expecting much but was presently suprised.
There are many awesome and special points to this album. I love the songs and different stlye to the songs. The songwriters and musicians and singers at London are very gifted and blessed. Many of the songs are reminiscent of many local bands, so it is special to me. The music is also seems to be easier to play then Australia's albums, which is good for small churches I guess.
Does the Hillsong Name Proud, And Then Some.......2004-06-17
The new album from Hillsong Church London, a growing congregation of around 2000 people that was planted as a UK outreach by the Australian church, combines two musical heritages for the first time - the UK worship movement and the Hillsong Music heritage.
SHOUT GOD'S FAME, then, stands as at an interesting musical intersection. The influence of the Hillsong Australia church is evident in the focus on melody and big, powerful choruses. At the same time, much of SHOUT GOD'S FAME sounds more like a Vineyard UK project, with experimental rock elements making their way into the project (a little bit of Robbie Williams on "Gonna Be All Right") at times as well. There are a lot of similarities to the Hillsong's United live albums, but even those comparisons only go so far. The mix here, for instance, really put the guitar and percussion more in the fore and pulls the lead vocals back a little bit, which gives the album a feel that is distinctly different from a regular Hillsongs project. The team of lead vocalists also has a much more youthful sound to their voices; no one person (a la Darlene Zschech) dominates the album's lead worship duties.
The songs themselves are solid. "Shout Your Fame" opens the record and has the same big, guitar-driven energy of recent Hillsong anthems like "King of Majesty" and "Best Friend." "My God" follows and takes it all even a notch higher - the chorus is incredibly infectious with some great, soaring melodies; two songs in you can already tell that this project is going to be a winner. The afore mentioned "Gonna Be All Right" is a little simplistic on its lyric though, musically, it does have an interesting sound. "You're Here With Me" is one of the tracks that sounds like it could've been a Vineyard song, in all of the right ways, though the production is clearly born of a Hillsongs heritage. "I Will Go," a song about obedience to the will of God, has an underlying Latin groove and a big sing-a-long chorus. "In You I Stand" is a solid rock-praise anthem celebrating our assurance of the faithfulness of God.
The majority of the twelve tracks are original compositions. A cover of Delirious' "History Maker" is one exception - their interpretation is solid though it doesn't add anything overtly original to what we've already heard done with the song. A medley of Hillsong favorites, "For This Cause/Eagles Wings/Carry Me," is a nice addition and tribute to the church's heritage; the "Eagles Wings" section is particularly sweet to hear. Finally, "King of Majesty," a cover of a United favorite, closes the project, though a reprise of "Shout Your Fame" is the true closing piece.
The beauty of SHOUT GOD'S FAME is that most fans of the Australian Hillsongs albums will also like what they hear here, but it is modern and youthful enough that even those who are not Hillsongs fans can definitely find something to embrace here. But it really does this talented group of musicians and worship leaders a disservice to focus too much on the Australian roots of the church - SHOUT GOD'S FAME proves that the church in London has more than enough talent and credibility to be accepted and heard all on their own. It's not only an excellent debut album, but one of the best worship albums of the year. FIVE STARS.

Surprisingly, At the Very Top of His Work.......2002-10-20
I wasn't expecting much from Van Morrison doing covers of showtunes and standards from the 1940s and 1950s. It just goes to show though that one never knows an artist's real range until he or she starts exploring it. Although this is as different from the rest of his work as can be imagined, it is all superb. Additionally, these are are very unique renditions of songs I have on other discs by other artists and there is NO overlap. I'm not familiar with Georgie Fame but it is too bad that he and Van Morrsion only did this one work together. What a terrific combination they are. The title tune is worth the price of admission alone. This is a live recording too and I've noticed Van Morrison does particularly well when performing live as opposed to in the studio. Many musical artists do their best work live and perhaps it is the sheer exhiliration and joy of performance that they really need to bring out their best.
Van Play More Of That Jazz Man!.......2001-05-27
This CD featuring Van Morrison and Georgie Fame is a real treat. The arrangements are sharp and the piano and horn solos really captivate the soul. Van really mines many cover tunes from the thirties, forties, and fifities but contributes a few original reworkings. Sack Of Woe, Blues In The Night, and Your Mind Is On Vacation stand out for me but truthfully this CD is great from start to finish. Buy it now.
VAN THE SWING MAN!.......2001-02-04
Although I've never really followed the music of either Van Morrison or Georgie Fame, Ive always respected their talents. Since I was in to some of the swing music that was going on at the time, I decided to give this a listen. And I really enjoyed it. I especially like the upbeat faster tunes on here like "Sack O" Wee, "The New Symphony Sid", and "All Saints Day" which reminds a little of the song Choo Choo Cha Boogie. It's on these songs that Morrison and Fame are at their best singing in unison with each other. All of this recorded LIVE in London with no overdubs, just that great spontanious jazzy sound by a couple heavyweight talents having some fun. So if there's any swingcats left over out there, I suggest you pick this album up. It won't disappoint.
Wonderful live versions of some classic songs.......2000-08-27
If Van Morrison's timid and mostly tuneless back-catalogue doesn't appeal to you, you may still love this happy-go-lucky effort. Track 10, "All Saints Day", is the best feel-good song I've got in my whole music collection. The rest of the album contains a host of jazzy gems, most notably the title track which breathes life and soul into one of Gershwin's less well-known compositions. Buy it!

First things first: You won't find "Out Here on My Own" or "Hot Lunch Jam" in Fame: The Musical. Unlike the Broadway version of its early-'80s counterpart, Footloose, this not-yet-ready-for-Broadway production doesn't migrate the movie (or its music) to the stage but merely uses the same subject matter as did the film and subsequent TV series--the dance, drama, and music students at New York City's High School of Performing Arts. In fact, the story is set in 1980-1984, right after the film's release, and one of the teachers laments, "We're the Fame school now. Ever since that movie came out." To help establish that distinction, Fame: The Musical has an almost entirely new set of songs by Steve Margoshes and Jacques Levy, though rest assured that you will at least get the title tune--twice, with a Latin groove. Reflecting the various backgrounds of its ensemble cast, the score offers samples of rap ("Tyrone's Rap"), soft-rock balladry ("Let's Play a Love Scene"), and gospel ("Mabel's Prayer")--all pleasant and serviceable, but unlikely to grab you the way Michael Gore and Dean Pitchford's movie soundtrack did (The story also only hints at the seedy underside of inner-city New York explored in the film.) As graduation nears, one character talks excitedly of the feeling of electricity coursing through her, but no, she doesn't break into "I Sing the Body Electric." That would be a little too much to hope for. --David Horiuchi

"Fame" the Musical, Not the movie........2004-12-31
As Carmen sings, this is not the movie, not the TV show, but the musical.
My son's school put this on 2 weeks ago and I am hung up on it big time. The script noted that this was not the movie, but I rented that and, basically, it was, with a few modifications. I don't have a problem wth that.
OK, so it dealt with "tough issues" differently, but, hey, no one died in the movie. Carmen did. And from an overdose. After being taken avantage of. OK?
I agree with some reviewers that the soundtrack (I have the '03 Broadway one) lets you relive the play. It does not recreate it. I have listened to it every day since I bought it (much to my son's dismay). And frankly, the white Irsih girl who played Mabel kicked *** twice as well as the woman from the B-way production. And the pro Tyrone was better. Life is like that.
Overall, the tunes are sung in a heartfelt manner and I would say that a person who has seen the play will enjoy the soundtrack.
Fame Rox.......2004-05-20
I think that this cd really rox it has almost all the songs from the real play. Its awesome. I like all the songs on ecspecially the song called lets play a love scene. I also like the song called Pray I make it to P.A. Ilove all the songs but those are the two I like the most!!!!!!!!!Again I think the cd ROX!!!yeah!!!
fame.......2004-04-14
I have just bought the orignal Fame c.d which I was really happy about.Does someone know if there is a c.d just with music from Fame? so that you can sing with the c.d.
Thanks
THE BEST MUSICAL EVER!!!!!!.......2003-11-10
This CD is one of the best out there. The music is outstanding and the voices are electric!! It diserves more credit than its given. GO FAME!!!!
Excellent soundtrack, well worth the money........2003-08-02
People seem to think that the Fame soundtrack was better. All I can say, and please excuse me for it: what are you on? I have seen both the play, performed very well by people in Fairbanks (you rock, ppl!) and the movie. And everyone in my family agreed that the movie cannot possibly compare with the play.
I will admit that the title song is one of the best songs in the world. But it's not like they took it out of the play. And while Out Here On My Own had a very pretty tune, in the lyrics department it could not hope to compare with songs like Teacher's Argument or In LA.
Frankly, there were three good songs in the movie and one that has a good dance scene to it but is not really worth listening to. Of those three good songs, one is in the musical and the other two, while still good, just aren't enough to make me agree that the movie soundtrack could ever compare to this soundtrack.
Some people say that the play doesn't touch on important issues like the movie does, and perhaps that is true. But that, it seems to me, is irrelevant while discussing the music, as the music in the movie wasn't about any issues any more than the music in the play is. Another concern is that the lyrics are simplistic. Well, so are the lyrics in the movie. And so are the lyrics to most Abba songs, and most Tatu songs, and most songs in other musicals, say, the Music Man or to some extent Oklahoma and Showboat. Does that make us like them less? You want good lyrics, you go watch something with Sondheim or Cole Porter lyrics.
My favorite song on this would probably be Lets Play A Love Scene. Although Fame, Teacher's Argument, and Bring On Tomorrow are excellent. I rather liked In LA, although I maintain that the person in Fairbanks did it better. I Want To Make Magic was very good on this CD, although the song usually sets my teeth on edge for some strange reason. While I dislike the song Can't Keep It Down, I have no complaints about the singer's voice.
All in all, this would have to be one of my favorite soundtracks. You want deep lyrics? Go somewhere else (but not to Fame the Movie). You want beautiful and often amusing tunes? Here's a good place to look.

Jean Redpath sings the "inimitable songs of Burns" as if Rabbie himself is hovering over her shoulder. You're not likely to find too many singers more suited to her material than Redpath. Also, I needs must mention the first-rate musical accompaniments by Serge Hovey. All in all, the seven volume Redpath-Burns series is indispensible for lovers of song everywhere. Way to go, folks.
