IF YOU LIKE ALL KINDS OF MUSIC AND HAVE KIDS (8YRS AND OLDER) ITS PERFECT.
Is the first song I ever downloaded. Deservedly a big hit. For a CD, I'd also ask: how many of the songs meet the above criteria. They need to showcase the songs better.#11 Big Girls Don't Cry has the same title as an old 4 Seasons song, but it's a totally different one. 2. Perhaps, I should check her out better.#14 Hey There Delilah was played zillions of times on the radio, but I never tired of it for some reason. I like it a lot.#12 Who Knew.
A really fun song with a good beat--a good foil to modern Macho & Gangsta types.#19 First Time is yet another fantastic Lifehouse song--they've had quite a few. This song shows off Fergie's singing ability with less of a heavy rap sound. Fantastic IMHO. The prior Now, Vol. Also, 9 out of 20 is pretty good, esp.
I'm not big on rap music, as you can probably see, but I was very impressed with Kanye West at the Grammy awards--his acceptance speech was terrific. I'd downloaded it before. You can easily identify their sound/style when you hear it even if you haven't heard the song before.To me, most of the other 11 songs were okay with only one or two I really didn't like at all. I'd have done 9 of the 20:#2 The Way I Are is actually sung mostly by Keri Hilson who does a fab job of singing it. Deserves more recognition.#13 When You're Gone is probably my favorite Avril Lavigne song--though in fairness, I haven't heard all that many of them. To me most CDs by a single artist only have 1 or 2 out of 12 songs or so that meet the criteria, making them not worth the moneyI'd hope that a "Best of" or compilation CD would have a MUCH higher percentage of songs I'd buy or download otherwise. It's one of my favs of all time.
It's a riot IMHO. DJs aren't as crisp in describing songs they're playing as they used to be. If I got it free (e.g. This song reminds me of "Life's Been Good to Me" by the Eagles & "Cover of the Rolling Stone" by Dr. Would I pay to download it from Amazon or iTunes. The one's I'd heard before didn't' impress me much, but this one does. & 3.
Hook. Probably worth 4 ½ stars IMHO, but your taste will differ from mine: "different strokes for different folks.p.s. when these compilations try to cover many different tastes/genres. Pink shows she has pipes, can really sing, can put feeling/meaning into a song, can subtly insert stylistic words/inflections, etc. as a gift), would I put it on my iPod.
23 didn't IMHO, but this one does. Whoever did the arrangement is a genius--reminds me of the fantastic arrangement of Gwen Stefani's "Sweet Escape" though the style here is quite different. I'd already downloaded it before.#17 Rockstar is another of Nickelback's fine songs--their singles tend to be great, but their albums often have a lot of totally different type songs--that I don't like as well as their terrific singles. It was a challenge finding out the title at first--so I could download it. When reviewing music, I ask myself a few questions; for a specific song: 1.
Lovely.#4 Shut Up & Drive features Rihanna's fine singing voice with less of her over-repetition of lyrics than other; it's not beyond her range as other songs might be#8 Beautiful Girls is really catchy--when it 1st came out, I searched the radio to hear it again & again--if the lyrics don't turn you off, it's fantastic. It's certainly a touching song in which one can identify with the singer & the supposed girlfriend listener.
We get one every year for my 13 year old daughter for Christmas. She loves all the music, as does my nine year old son.
I collect all the NOW CD's. Keep the NOW hits coming. I like all the tracks in this album. Absolutely no complaints here. The only qualm is that the price shouldn't be too expensive, but the music is great.
I liked a few of the songs but I wasn't really into the first half of the CD. I expected this CD to be a bit better. So it was so-so.
