The Best Bette

Childrens Toy Shop > Music > Bestsellers
by: Bette Midler

September 22, 2008
I agree with the other reviewer this is a lovely collection and there are many wonderful songs that feature on it but Bette has done so much in her career and it could have gone a little further to truly fly the flag as THE BEST BETTE.

The biggest glaring oversight for me is the DANCE MIX of Bette's massive US club hit TO DESERVE YOU. Why did they have to overlook this gem as anyone who comes across it usually is dead impressed. In fact Bette had a series of American hits on the club scene that could have easily been added to this CD which go further to show her diversity as a singer.

We love you Bette but Rhino/Warner you could have done better (this is coming from a guy who compiles collections for record labels ... Read More:

One Voice

Childrens Toy Shop > Music > Bestsellers
by: Andrew Johnston

September 29, 2008
this is the best voice I have ever heard, the only voice that could give me goosebumps.

Why did he not win "Britain got Talent" is beyond me. This boy hs talent and I hope this CD will make platinum.

Somewhere

Childrens Toy Shop > Music > Bestsellers
by: Eva Cassidy

August 25, 2008
I'm a longtime fan of Eva Cassidy's wonderful voice and style. I think I have all her albums and those albums provide a lot of the background music for my life. Her all-too-soon death took a marvelous talent from this world.

That said, though, I found this album a bit disappointing. I think that with every now-deceased beloved artist, there exists a file somewhere of recorded songs that were considered for earlier albums and put aside because they weren't quite good enough. Then, when the artist dies, there's a scramble to unearth these items and create an album from them. It doesn't always work: those songs were filed away for good reason.

And while I find this album enjoyable, that seems to be the case here. ... Read More:

First Love - Songs from the British Isles

Childrens Toy Shop > Music > Bestsellers

September 15, 2008
Very enjoyable except for "Danny Boy" which, with Keating, I thought was dire.
The female duetists were an asset.

A New World

Childrens Toy Shop > Music > Bestsellers
by: Will Martin

September 22, 2008
Will Martin has a very natural, smooth, calming, and perfect pitch voice!----There is bit of New Zealand 'flavor' in this album which I like very much.----This is simply a great album to own. We do not have quite this kind of 'calm' classical crossover in the U.S. anymore, and that is too bad I think.----I guess what I mean is that it is not 'overproduced', and very human!!!----Enjoy!

Sacred Arias

by: Katherine Jenkins

October 20, 2008
I personally can't wait for the release, the available snippets are tantalising. Katherine appears to be giving us another helping of pure pleasure with this latest album, long may she continue to do so.

Lullaby: a Beautiful and Soothing Collection of Night Time Songs for Children and Grown Ups

Childrens Toy Shop > Music > Bestsellers
by: Sophie Barker

November 22, 2004
All I can say is WOW! Not only did the music create a lovely bed time routine with some of the songs that I already knew and could sing to, but it totally chilled out my daughter and sent her off to sleep, and I felt relaxed too! This is a must have.

Chant

Childrens Toy Shop > Music > Bestsellers
by: Cistercian Monks Of Stift Heiligenkreuz

May 19, 2008
This Cistercian abbey has a continous history since its foundation. My only criticsm is that according to the Rule Cistercians should chant in the Ambrosian mode - very slow & ponderous, and this CD is a little too fast. One of the plus points is that Cistercians do not have choir boys so the overall effect is a deeper more inspiring chant.

Songbird

Childrens Toy Shop > Music > Bestsellers
by: Eva Cassidy

August 01, 2006
..is the only word for this album. I have never heard such a pure voice - you may have heard the songs before but you have never heard them sung like this. Eva's voice was unique - how very sad that the only video in existence of her singing is some amatuer footage taken at Blues Alley - where some of these tracks were recorded. If you can listen to "Autumn Leaves" without a lump in your throat - then you have no soul my friend.

Vivere - Greatest Hits

Childrens Toy Shop > Music > Bestsellers
by: Andrea Bocelli

November 12, 2007
I have this CD on constant repeat! The music is so varied but holds your attention every step of the way. Bocelli's voice is one you just have to fall in love with. His "Romanza" is 1 of my favourites but "Vivo Per Lei" has me hooked also. GET THIS CD!!!!!!
