In the wake of his Sixth Sense triumph, young director M. Night Shyamalan shrewdly marketed himself as a marquee draw, a thriller auteur in the vein of Hitchcock and DePalma. In the process he's also run headlong into one of Hollywood's truest adages: There's no such thing as a sure thing. But while his tale of an isolated hamlet ringed by mysterious, threatening 'others' met with tepid reviews and disappointing box office, it also underscored another filmmaking truism: So-so films can still be blessed with magnificent musical scores. This hauntingly beautiful, yet thoroughly contemporary orchestral soundtrack by James Newton-Howard distinguishes itself at every turn, becoming a clear standout in the ongoing collaboration between the composer and Shyamalan. While similar fusions of minimalist and post-modern musical influences can sometimes seem not much more than hollow intellectual exercises, Newton-Howard inhabits his hypnotic arpeggios and droning rhythms here with an evocative undercurrent of the mysterious and mystical. The composer leans heavily on solo violin to conjure a mock folk tradition of indistinct origins, wedding it to a contemporary classical sense that's as seamless as it is distinguished. -- Jerry McCulley

Excellent Score -- Very Unique.......2007-02-22

I have long been a film-score aficionado. My favorite composers are Hans Zimmer, James Horner, Jerry Goldsmith, John Williams -- only the best of the best. I had always known about James Newton Howard and his work, and always respected his unique abilities and talents.

It was with this score that he really caught my attention. The central theme of the film is a love story, and the characters just happen to be caught up in a nightmarish scenario. The score reflects this perfectly; some of the pieces are classically romantic, quiet pieces, while others are thunderous and frightening to reflect the danger and terror portrayed in the film.

James Newton Howard's later works, like "King Kong" (2005) and his co-score with Hans Zimmer on "Batman Begins" (2005) continued to show that he is rightly considered one of Hollywood's A-list composers for big films.

One of the few good things about this wretched film.......2006-11-05

I admit I absolutely hated "The Village". The film started out rather good. The build up in suspense was flawlessly executed but then the second half of the film totally went downhill for me. One of the few things I enjoyed about "The Village" is the film score by James Newton Howard. The combination of the orchestral film score and dark cinematography was perfect. Both complimented each other. Violinist Hilary Hahn was what really gravitated me to the music. A lot of film scores have a terrible tendency to be loud and bombastic (like John Williams and Hans Zimmer) but James Howard Newton's score is subtle and never overwhelming to a person's ears.

The score elevates the film.......2006-08-09

'The Village' was panned pretty harshly in critical circles, but whatever you think of the film, James Newton Howard's score for it is a beautiful piece of work. It lends a haunting, lyrical quality to the film, and it is wonderful to listen to by itself, whether or not you like or have even seen the movie.

While there are a couple pieces in the score that are a little more high-octane in terms of suspense, most of the music is very low-key. Still suspenseful, even spooky at times, but in a very understated and thoughtful way. In some ways similar to Howard's score for 'Signs', which also used repeated rhythms and themes throughout in different ways, the music for 'The Village' differs from the standard "scary movie" score by having pieces which establish a real emotional depth and presence. 'The Village' is a film about love and loss, and much of the music expresses those themes perfectly.

A big part of how the music gets to the depths of emotion is the solo violin performances of Hilary Hahn, present to some extent in almost every piece. From the opening strains of "Noah Visits," the first piece on the CD, her violin speaks the language of the heart and draws the listener into a beautiful world of haunting music, inescapable and compelling. I am amazed by her versatility here. From the fast rhythmic notes of "The Gravel Road" to the high strains of "I Cannot See His Color" to the final, bittersweet tones of "The Vote," Hahn's violin creates a steady thread through the whole score, unifying it and making it unique at the same time. I've listened to several of Hahn's classical performances as well, but I have to say that of what I've heard, her performance for 'The Village' may be her most unique and most compelling yet.

The combination of James Newton Howard's compositions and Hilary Hahn's lush performance have created some beautiful music for 'The Village'. Whether you love the movie or hate it, or even if you're just looking for some rich orchestral music with a beautiful violin performance, this score is well worth owning and listening to many times over.

Good Soundtrack!.......2006-08-03

I'll admit I bought this soundtrack for the music that played during the rescue scene when Phoenix grabbed Howard's hand---that part alone was worth the buy--beautiful music. Anyway, if you like scary music, there's plenty of that on here, but I usually skip those. So let's get down to it---how many tracks do I play over and over and never get sick of them? Numbers 9, 8, and 4's second half-- it switches from scary to the scene mentioned above. Those three are hauntingly beautiful. Numbers 1 and 5 are also very pretty if you are in a very relaxed state. The rest I don't really listen to simply because they're scary. But, if I can find a cd with at least 3 songs I really like, I consider it worth buying...so I recommend this soundtrack. Plug--- recommend the movie even more, even though the music is scarier than the movie itself. That movie has the best chic flic moment I've seen (guess which scene I'm talking about). Also, "Good afternoon Lucius..."--- that part is hilarious!

Nice...but a little overrated,.......2006-06-08

I'm a sucker for film scores. I can't get enough of em'. I've listened to a lot, and based on the reviews James N. Howard's score was getting for "The Village", I decided to buy it.
I have mixed feelings--the music is definitely very pretty, very soothing (or agressive when needed), but I never really felt like I was listening to anything but just 'another' score here. There really isn't anything especially beautiful or stand-out, and I have heard orchestral scores from independent films (see 2002's "Stranded", a low-budget sci-fi film made for only about four million clams that boasts one of the most gorgeous scores you will ever hear)that are more memorable and evocative.
This, I hate to say it, just kinda felt "blah" to me.
Not bad.
Just...kinda..."Blah".

Good Oldies Of The 90s.......2006-07-06

C.M.B. was the first concert I ever went to. I was about 19 years old and I took my younger brother with me. They came to Corpus Christi, Texas. The concert started off bad only because some bad woman behind me stole my purse, but I recovered it later in the trashcan. All she stole was my calculater and $30 in cash. Even with all that, I still enjoyed Color Me Badd. It's more like Color Me Good....sounds funny!!! Anyways, Marc Calderon and I locked eyes several times throughout the show. It was an awesome concert. Too badd, it has ended early for them. I hope they come back one day and surprise us all. This band was different and I never considered them a boy band. They were very under-rated. Great memories for me.

COLOR WHO WHAT??!.......2006-04-15

oh baby, this is precious, someone here is actually comparing CMB to The Beatles?!?! Is that why CMB's CD is selling for a whopping 21 cents? I'd love to continue but the urge for uncontrollable laughter is just way too much, ha ha ha ha ha ha..........

Color them badd........2006-03-14

Most likely when someone tosses out the term boy-band, N'Sync or Backstreet Boys come to mind. However, Color Me Badd was doing their thing years before those two groups, and much better. Ok, so New Kids On The Block were around too, but they weren't as badd. These guys have a "Best Of" out also, but the best of that is basically right on this album. Included is their biggest hit "I Wanna Sex You Up". That track was in the movie "New Jack City", and is also here in reprise form. Other hits were "I Adore Mi Amore", "Thinkin' Back", and the extremely catchy "All 4 Love". The bottom line is that these guys were so badd they were good, and where else are you gonna get George Michael, Terence Trent D'Arby, Vanilla Ice, and Kenny G on the same album?

One of My all-time favorites!.......2005-12-21

Way back in 1992 I first listened to Color Me Badd and ever since I have loved their music! What I like about them is their great voices and the cool variety of music mixed in with an urban feel. My favorite singer of the band is Mark Calderon. He has such a wonderful voice and I love the songs that he has a good amount of time singing in. If you love Color Me Badd or love to hear a band that you are not familiar with then I strongly recommend that your purchase this CD today!

Color Them Awesome!!!!!!!!!.......2005-12-19

People are always talking about the Beatles as if they were something special, but did they ever do a song as unbelievable as "I Wanna Sex You Up"? I don't think so. Would John Lennon have dared to sing "All 4 Love"? No way! Could Paul McCartney have written a song like "I Adore Mi Amor"? Not a chance! Could Keith Richards get as real as "Groove My Mind"? I highly doubt it. Would Ringo Starr dare to drum on a track like "I Wanna Sex You Up (Reprise)"? Impossible! And that's not even half the album! There are still such all-time classics as "I Adore Mi Amor (Interlude)," the band's manifesto "Color Me Badd," and the grammatical ingenuity of "Your Da One I Onena Love"! Buy this album NOW!!!!!!

Outstanding.......2007-06-06

Robert De Cormier's remarkable arrangement and Marie Spar Dymit's and Lynette Johnson's pure vocals of "Johnny Has Gone for a Soldier" are well worth the price of the entire CD.

Incredible..Worth 30 stars.......2007-05-16

The Dale Warland Singers are my benchmark by which I judge all other choirs. The uniformity of sound, blend, and precise entrances, uniformity are incredible - almost inhuman. Excluding the all male Chanticleer from the roster, this was the finest choir in America. Now that they have broken up, buy all of their CD's you won't be disappointed!

Superb singing matched with superb arrangements.......2004-07-03

A project like this one inevitably highlights the skill of arrangers, and Dale Warland has selected some of the most talented anywhere. Most of these selections will be familiar to listeners, but I doubt most people have heard, for example, "Red River Valley" in Carol Barnett's haunting version here, and ditto for her magnificent "Deep River."

The disc opens with a spectacular, panoramic "Shenandoah" that takes maximum advantage of the Dale Warland Singers' refined sound, and things only get better (if that's possible). Other favorites are a cheery, fizzing "Nelly Bly" and Mark Keller's strong reworking of Stephen Foster's "Hard Times Come Again No More."

Throughout the recording, the freshness of the arrangements is matched by the irresistible singing. This group is known for its outstanding performances and recordings, but this must be counted as one of their all-time best. The sound quality is terrific, capturing the gorgeous blend and precision of the group in a natural-sounding acoustic. Just stunning.

Beautiful music.......2003-07-03

I bought this CD after hearing a few of the recordings on our local NPR radio station. I was not disappointed in any of the selections. Very beautiful.

Beautiful Music, Yet There Is No There Here.......2003-01-13

The Dale Warland Singers (DWS) are among the relatively few musical professionals, who by their aesthetic standards and demonstrated artistry, have taken the less traveled and narrow road to exemplary artistic excellence.

The sound quality and acoustics are excellently engineered in this 20-bit original recording. The most delicately blend and inflection of the singers' voice can be heard. This sheaf of choral works has once existed in real space and time in the kaleidoscopic folklife of past generations. In recording the "Blue Wheat", the 40-member DWS, the creme de la creme of professional choral ensembles, has elevated the common oral tradition of American folk music into a rarified choral art form a capella "in the style of the chapel."

If the soul of the DWS is a capella singing, then Warland and the arrangers are the wings of the same soul. Among the kapellmeisters whose arrangements have graced this folksong anthology are the late Norman Luboff and Roger Wagner. Also included in this album are contemporary arrangements by other esteemed composers: John Rutter (conductor of The Cambridge Singers), Carol Barnett (the DWS resident composer from 1992 to 2001), and Stephen Paulus.

Gertrude Stein is famous for saying of her childhood home, Oakland, California, "When you get there, there's no there there." Purportedly, Stein opined this city by the San Francisco Bay lacked a defining sense of place. Bel canto notwithstanding, the folk melodies of "Blue Wheat" invoke a longing for something no longer possible. The abyss between the America today and the its past is impossible to bridge. Already, we have yielded to the abstractness of political correctness. Our past is either neglected, actively destroyed, or selectively museumed. We do not live in an understood land and culture. There is no there here in the presence of this music. It is only the poignancy of the moment that these beautifully rendered tunes live in our mind. We have to accept this reality as part and parcel of our rootlessness.

Color Me Barbra.......2007-03-10

One of my favourite Streisand albums. Great ballads and a fantastic medley full of well known songs. A great album for new fans to discover
Barbra.

Great 60s title of Streisand!!.......2006-06-07

Color Me Barbra (1966) is one of Barbra's finest albums from the 60s. The song selections are fabulous and sound wonderful. I love the front cover crayon drawing image of her face; it goes so well on a pink background, the title of the album is also in different colors as well. I own this title on LP, tape, and CD. On the LP release, the song titles and such were in white print on the front cover, which made it hard for people to see what songs were on it. For those of you who probably still have this title on LP, you will still have to put the cover up in your face to read the white print (I assume that the 60s copies had light pink for the cover, and the reissue pressings from the 70s had a slightly darker pink on the front cover. With darker pink, the white print won't be difficult to read. I have an original copy from the 60s with the light pink front cover). White print on a light pink background is almost difficult to read; it's a nice color scheme, but almost invisible to see. I love the songs on this title. The opening track, Yesterdays is great to listen to, with its catchy orchestration. One Kiss is fine and quiet. Minute Waltz is fine, with Barbra sounding like she's trying to get this song sung in exactly one minute or less. Gotta Move is great, with its "hurry up" sound. Non C'est Rien, which I assume is a French counterpart of her Free Again song from her French titled "Je m'appelle Barbra" album, is great. Orchestration is the exact same as what is heard on Free Again. The track 7 medley, is great to hear, and is the longest song on this album. C'est Si Bon (It's So Good), is another great one with Barbra singing in French. Where Am I Going? is a great one, as well. The closing track, Starting Here, Starting Now (the closing track) has a nice sound to it. Barbra really does a magnificent job of holding out that last note at the end of this song. She really does a good job of that. No Barbra Streisand music library would be complete without this "colorful" title!! Get it while you can!!

Barbra Streisand: Color Me Barbra (1966).......2005-08-18

In March of 1966, Barbra Streisand had released her seventh album entitled, COLOR ME BARBRA. This album was to coincide with her new hit television series of the same name. This is a great album and the front cover is just priceless, as well as being very colorful for your children.

YESTERDAYS
Great song. No, this is not a cover of The Beatles' song.

ONE KISS

"I Stayed Too Long At The Fair" from the album THE BARBRA STREISAND ALBUM (1963). Great medley, although, it contains one too many songs, but still a great medley.

C'EST SI BON (IT'S SO GOOD)
Not bad.

WHERE AM I GOING?
Great.

STARTING HERE, STARTING NOW
Great song.

This is an album that everybody should have enjoyed. It is very enjoyable and I cannot help but choose this album as being amongst my favorite Barbra Streisand albums. Please, buy a copy of COLOR ME BARBRA now, and make sure to Color Her Barbra.

A 37-minute waltz.......2005-07-31

The soundtrack recording to Barbra's second smash television special continues the same mix of quirky humor ("Minute Waltz," the "Circus Medley") and soaring ballads ("When Or Where," the modest hit "Where Am I Going?") that won her millions of fans in the sixties. The Gold-selling album peaked at #3 and was even nominated for an Album of the Year Grammy. Another top-notch release, COLOR ME BARBRA continues on in the exceptional tradition of the two MY NAME IS BARBRA albums. Even though the songs were chosen and recorded to compliment and enhance the special's stunning visuals, the material makes transition from the television screen to the stereo with remarkable ease. As with all of Streisand's early albums, there is multitude of outstanding performances of great songs. In particular, the closing number "Starting Here, Starting Now" is one of the best performances of her long career. Definitely an essential disc in it's own right, but watch the fantastic television special as well - it's worth it!

COLOR US BLESSED.......2004-04-03

I don't agree with some of the posted reviews that one needs the visuals of the accompanying TV special to fully appreciate some of the song selections. I think Barbra has too much foresight to produce an album that limited. That sensibility is one of the reasons her entire solo catalog is still in print and still sell as single CDs rather than those dreaded "2-FER" packages. "Color Me Barbra" is one of her essential 60s albums, featuring glorious, youthful vocals which contrast with Barbra's trademark wisdom beyond her years. "Minute Waltz" is delightful fun, while the medley is equal parts farce and amazing vocal gymnastics. The ballads rank among her best and the album package, front and back, is fabulous. This CD should be a permanent part of any Barbra collection, then or now. Hopefully the inclusion of the "It Had To Be You" video from the special on the new "Barbra - The Concert" DVD will mean the DVD reissue of the Streisand Specials, which were available for a short while on VHS in the mid/late 1980s. Barbra's ongoing legacy deserves the star treatment in every format.

Brings back memories.......2003-04-16

This cd brings back alot of memories from the childhood. The cd has the songs straight from the movie which is hard to find on current soundtracks from these new movies that come out. If you love the tunes in the movie then you'll love the soundtrack.

One of the best soundtracks of the nineties.......2000-01-31

This soundtrack is incredible. The beats on this album are to die for. It's full of high-octane, shut-up-and-dance cuts like "Ice Cream Dream," "The Best Things In Life Are Free," "Let's Get Together (So Groovy Now)", and "Money Can't Buy You Love." In addition, the soundtrack also includes the an enchanted star-soaked ballad by Mint Condition entitled "My Dear" --I recommend listening to that song at night, it just evokes such beautiful imagery. Overall, Mo Money is one of the best (if the best) soundtracks of the 90s. Worth it.

considering the Legacy of Jam&lewis they could have done way better than this mess.you know it's a joke when Janet Jackson&Luther Vandross are doing a duet? that's the funniest thing that i've ever heard.cuz vocally they are world's apart.the rest of this cd is dead weight to the ears.

My favourite tunes on the album are Ice Cream Dream, I adore You and Money can't by you love. I bought this album back in 1992 and lost it I loved the album so much that I went out and got it again. The movie was excellent too. Another favourite soundtrack album of mine is Above the Rim.

Album Description

This 28-track collection highlights the astounding career as director and producer of Steven Spielberg, whose films are inexorably linked with the symphonic beauty of John Williams' scores. With five Oscar(r) wins and 41 nominations, Williams is a master of his art. The set also features other Spielberg collaborations including Quincy Jones, Jerry Goldsmith, and Billy Goldenberg. From "Duel" (a premiere recording) to "The Terminal," this release is a journey through movie magic.

mediocre mess, nonetheless worth having for some.......2005-07-07

If you've never purchased one of these Silva Screen best-of score CDs, let me first say this: unless you're a true film-score nut (like me), don't do it. Just don't. They really aren't terribly good. This one, like most, is played by The city of Prague Philharmonic, and it's not a terribly talented orchestra. They play very flatly, they miss notes, their orchestrator makes odd changes to composers' music. The end result of all this is that if you're familiar with the film versions of the pieces of music they're playing, it can be, frankly, a bit difficult to listen to.

That said, there is one decent -- decent, mind you -- reason to buy this CD. That's for the five-minute track of music from Spielberg's "Duel." It isn't great music, by any means, but if you're a Spielberg fanatic, this is the only release there has ever been (to my knowledge, at least) of music from that movie.

To be fair, not all of the tracks here are poorly done. "Hymn to the Fallen" comes off fairly well, and so does the music from "A.I." and "The Terminal" -- and the "Minority Report" theme is actually quite good. But much of the rest just doesn't sound right, so if you're looking for a quick way to assemble a quality overview of Spielberg music, this isn't the way to go.

That brings me to my final complaint, which is that "The Lost World" is omitted entirely! There were several good themes done for that movie; it was no mere rehash of "Jurassic Park."

For the seriously devoted only.

Rosenbaum and Rod Temperton...released in several categories from Action, Adventure, Drama and Sci-Fi sharing moments from powerful classic filming to a lighter side with some of the most familiar and recognizable themes ever written.

Anyone who has ever read my reviews knows that I'm a complete "film-score-buff" nut...Silva Screen Classics has come up with the best of the best in the category of soundtracks/scores...just take a peek with their latest release featuring a 2-CD-Set with inclusive 28 cues of unforgettable scores from the leading composers of the past three decades...the quality of sound, texture and substance is a film score collectors dream...each and every track is a self culture unto its own, bringing countries, worlds and universes under one umbrella.

This is one not to be missed...so many highlights and stand outs...from one spectrum of comedy, romance, drama, suspense, action, adventure...to the other of horror, war, thrillers and classics that linger from decade to decade...many have sold millions in Soundtracks, but here in this collection they all appear compliments of conductors Paul Bateman, James Fitzpatrick, Mario Klemens and Nic Raines...conducting The City of Prague Philharmonic Orchestra and the Crouch End Festival Chorus...though different arrangements in some cases, still a very good representation in tribute of this legendary director and icon.

A must have for "film-score-buff" collectors, including music lovers and anyone who enjoys a little nostalgia now and then...thank you James Fitzpatrick(producer), Reynold da Silva(executive producer) and Silva Screen Classics...it's amazing when one thinks about just how much a part of filmmaking history that Steven Spielberg has been over the last 30 some odd years...listening to this collection will bring back wonderful memories of some of those highlights and then your imagination sets in...just the way we like 'em!

A year after his slickly produced recording debut launched him on a meteoric course to stardom, this combo DVD/CD set chronicles Michael Buble's crowd-pleasing live performances before amphitheater-sized crowds on a triumphant national tour. The audio portion kicks off with a pair of new studio recordings again reinforcing the 20-something Canadian heartthrob's 1950s-something artistic tack with mixed results: "Nice 'n' Easy" has a Sinatra-faithful jazzy swing; the overproduced, somnambulistic "Can't Help Falling in Love" evokes Perry Como more than Elvis. The remainder of the audio CD is comprised mostly of live versions of songs from Buble's debut, with his takes of "My Funny Valentine," "Fever," Van Morrison's "Moondance," and "Mack the Knife" again suggesting that Buble has an ear cocked wisely towards the Bobby Darin oeuvre. But with the notable exception of three elegant live-in-studio performances culled from Sessions@AOL, the live DVD does Buble's undeniably charming stage presence a great disservice. Intercut awkwardly with offstage comments by Buble and his band, the balance of that disc suffers from an MTV-inspired, cut/dissolve-every-three-seconds style that's intended to focus one's attention, but does exactly the opposite. If sudden stardom virtually guarantees that Buble's impossibly smooth, expressive voice seldom ventures very far outside the Sinatra/Darin mold here, hopefully he'll leverage that fame towards greater artistic challenges in the near future. --Jerry McCulley

Fly with Buble anytime!!!!!!.......2006-08-30

I am a fan of Micheall Buble, so anything he puts out is "first class!!! A very well done DVD & an insight to what goes on when not performing. IT IS SUPER IN EVERY WAY!!!!!!

Completely Obsolete as of 2005.......2006-02-16

This DVD was the first one released by Michael Buble, and I bought it in hopes of seeing some of his live performances. There are segments of performances, but the editing and fast, wild cuts from one angle to the next to the next to the next really detract from the overall effect. The performances get largely lost. What remains is a LOT of footage of Michael and his original bandmembers drinking, clubbing, gambling, womanizing, and generally acting like rowdy frat boys.

If you really want to be wowed and experience what a live Buble concert is like, I HIGHLY RECOMMEND "Caught in the Act". This DVD lives up to it's name as part of the PBS Great Performances series produced by David Foster. "Caught in the Act" is slick, glossy, flashy, enormously fun and absolutely true to the real experience. I've seen Buble perform live twice, and I can attest that "Caught in the Act" is just about as good as being there.

Buy the CD, wait for a better DVD!!.......2005-08-13

I bought this DVD after the last CD, which I LOVE and haven't stopped listening to since I got it, which is why I was all the more dissappointed by the horrible production in the DVD. The "live" video parts are just a horrible mesh of fade-in, fade-outs, b&w, cut to another take... enough to give you motion sickness! (and I love mtv, so its not that). the music is fantastic, but i would advice to buy a cd instead and wait for a better dvd to come out. he does come through as a pretty nice guy in the short inverview bits, but even those are with a camera thats jumping every which way in a moving car (thank god for traffic lights, at least when the car stops the camera stays still). advice to michael: stay AWAY from whoever edited this horrible thing.
the live cd it comes with is not bad, though...

Good. Can be much better by cutting meaningless fillers........2005-07-19

M. Buble is excellent in his singing! It looks like the producer had tried hard to promote the artist or to lengthen the recording time by adding many minutes of blah blah fillers in between songs which break the listensers' attention. The recording quality is a bit better than the sixties. At times, the brass sounds are not as clear and as sharp as the rest of the orchestra. As sound quality, it is around 3/5 as compared to Diana Krall's Live in Paris. Regrettable! I hate to press the fast forward button. In constrast, I have often used the repeat chapter button when listening to "Live In Paris"!

Nice and simple!.......2005-04-25

The star rating is for the music. Michael sings many popular songs and must face the possibility of being compared to the people that made tem popular. Many people in that position do funny things with the music, thinking that they have to make it unique; Michael does not have to do this (with little exception). He is just being his self and it is great just the way he is.

On the other hand this package also contains a DVD which can make great jewelry or maybe hung from a tree to scare birds. It is like one big sound bite; there is no constancy or course to his rattling. On the technical side the soundtrack is out of sing with the video. The video itself looks like the Blair Witch Project; it can not hold steady or focus.

Color me a classic.......2005-11-16

I don't know why people are still hating on Color Me Badd after all these years? I'm sure everyone who owns or has at one time owned a Color Me Badd CD has belted out the words to "I adore, mi amore," perhaps alone in the car or to a high school sweetheart.
Don't be in denial, don't be embarrased. We all need a little Color Me Badd in our life, cheesy or not.

The gold standard.......2005-08-19

Some nights before I go to bed, I say my prayers and simply stare at my gorgeous self in the mirror. I thank the heavens I look like I do and ask for things like a White Lion reunion tour or Grim Reaper at my four year old's birthday party. Usually, my requests go unanswered. That was, until this CD came out. I have both CMB(That's color me baddd's initials) albums and they are about as good as early Hasslehoff. To take both of those CDs and put out a best of is a dream come true. This band is straight forward, strap on your hip waders rock and roll if ever there was any. The pulsating guitars, drums and keyboards with a bunch of guys going, "oooooh oooooh ooooohwaoooooh, I wanna sex you up, to tha hip hop ya don't stop" make you proud to be an american even if you are from Tennessee. The guys all shine like the sun through a magnifying glass on this platter but one of the boys just takes this thing over. The guy that looks like Screech from Saved by the Bell is at his finest on this best of. It's like he was tired of getting the fifth prettiest girl in each video and decided to put the George Michael look a like guy and the other three to shame. He flat deals on this thing. I have girls at the club sing "I wanna sex you up" to me all of the time as if the song was written for me and it never gets old. This cd won't either.

Out with Color Me Badd... in with Megadeth!.......2005-08-02

After listening to Symphony of Destruction by Megadeth, I tossed this CD into the garbage. I can't believe I listened to this trash. I wanna sex you up? PLEASE. That is SO 1980s. I'm into new stuff now, and Megadeth is as current as it gets. Oh, and the Color Me Badd CDs are also EXTREMELY FLAMMABLE.

Missing some key songs.......2005-03-31

Most other reviewers hit it right on the money. Though this album did cover some of their best, there were definitely some key songs that were omitted - plus a few others that I would have liked to have included, even if they weren't HIT hit songs - e.g., Time & Chance with an opening by the late, great, Ossie Davis.
They should put out a greatest hits part 2 and include some of the other big ones: Forever Love, Let's Start with Forever, etc.- I'd buy it!

Geeze.......2004-11-27

The Best Of? A band has to actually have a hit that doesnt make your ears bleed before they can release a "Best Of" or "Greatest Hits" album, this of course, this band did not.
