Terrific song!
While not a fan of Michael Buble, I happened to chance upon this song while driving through a grove of trees, complete with “stereotypic” dappling sunlight. The song’s buoyant nature, terrific vocals and instrumentation made the experience of nature and music fuse together into a remarkable memory. I’ll be watching Michael from now on.
Must Have
The soul guys want to share. Reminds me of Harry Connick Jr. A must add to any collection.
Almost a Great Tune
Vocals are spot on but background music is plain vanilla wonderbread muzak. Why not pay for a decent band and make a great tune? I consider this a failure in imagination of the producer.

Wicked

A modern musical masterpiece with two powerhouse leads.
Having just seen this a few weeks ago, “Wicked” blew me away. I wasn’t expecting such a spectacular staging. Like any good Broadway musical, it taps into every emotion in the book, and with two masterful performances in the leads, the material is given every chance to shine. Even when the material is a tad weak.
The story, as the other 293 reviewers have stated, needs not to be reiterated. However, I was continually surprised at how clever and funny the whole thing was. It’s ingenious, and like, oh, probably a million other persons, went out and bought the novel right away.
This recording is an excellent souvenir of the show. Like most excerpted cast albums, you’re gonna miss a lot. Quite a bit happens between songs…
…nevertheless…
…the songs that floored me initially are all here. Idina Menzel is simply amazing. Having followed her career since “Rent” and her solo album, it’s a joy to see other people finally discovering what the rest of us have known for quite some time.
Kristin Chenoweth is absolutely hysterical. Her phrasing and timing are impeccable. The two together are formidable…the closing “For Good” tugs at the heart strings both the first and the fiftieth time you hear it.
And yes, “The Wizard and I” and “Defying Gravity” are the two standouts, and rightly so. Yet I find the humor of “Popular” and “What is This Feeling” just as memorable.
I agree with one previous reviewer that the supposedly “weak” songs are only so out of context. Trust me…during the show, they’re essential.
When you’re dipping into this album for songs, yes you will skip to the big ones. But I implore you from time to time to “put the needle” at the beginning, and let it run. For this and many other musicals, it’s an exhilarating experience.
Incredible
Although I’ve been a huge admirer of both Kristin Chenowith and idina Menzel for a few years now, I was not sure what to expect upon first hearing this soundtrack. Actually, I ended up seeing the show on broadway, and buying the CD the day after because i couldn’t get enough of this music! Stephen Schwartz has made a brilliant creation, and couldn’t have gotten better voices to sing it. The vocal harmonies are beautiful throughout. Defying Gravity, the real showstopper (much thanks to Ms. Menzel’s UNBELIEVABLE voice), gave me almost as big of a chill when hearing it on the soundtrack as it did in live performance. Ms. Chenowith’s lovely voice carries songs as well, and the song Popular is cute and funny, while showing off her vocal talent. Aside from Defying Gravity, my favorite songs are I’m Not That Girl (sung by Ms. Menzel), and the love ballad As Long as You’re Mine. It’s a fun, entertaining musical more full of emotion than I had expected it would be. Between Norman Leo Butz, and the two leading women, I can hardly put into words the feeling that their voices produce- you have to hear it to know! This is definitely one of the best new broadway shows to come about since RENT, and I hope it has a long, successful run.
Defying Gravity
This show is remarkable, simply remarkable. I saw this show a month ago in NYC and have been waiting for the CD ever since. It’s one of the most amazing shows I’ve ever seen, and everything about it is phenomenal. The story is intriguing, it’s exciting, it’s captivating, it’s dark, it’s hilarious, it’s sad, and it’s smart, very smart. The acting and depth and breadth of the characters is so good it makes you forget you’re in the theater, you get invested in these people. And Idina Menzel and Kristin Chenoweth, I’ve never seen them in anything else, but I think they’re some of the most talented performers I’ve ever seen in anything. That sounds weird, but they’re just sincere and believable with their roles and blow you away. That’s good theater for you!!!
I know we’re talkin about a CD here though. Quite a bit, not all though, of the above comes through on the CD, even though, understandably, that’s tough to do on a recording. Well, the score of this show hooked me from the beginning. It’s beautiful, catchy, fun, emotional, intelligent, and it gets to you in many ways and on different levels. It’s definitely one of my favorite musical scores ever. And can those girls sing or WHAT? They’re here in their full glory. I can’t even recommend a song, they’re ALL great, but off the top of my head “Defying Gravity” , “For Good”, “Thank Goodness”, “What is this Feeling?”, wow, there are too many. It’s a fine, fine CD. It might be confusing for people though, because it doesn’t have a summary (major huge spoilers in the show, that’s why), and you won’t have a clue what’s going on otherwise, but I suppose that’s OK.
It’s cliche, but this show makes you laugh till you cry, it breaks your heart till it hurts, and it makes you think. It really makes you think. I’m never gonna be able to watch “Wizard of Oz” the same way again.

What Yesterday Is Today
There honestly been no question about Toni Braxton. She has had a lot to ordeal with the past several years, from embattling heart disease, to the issues involving one of her children whom was diagnosed with a form of autism. Yet, she still has shown a distinctive deepness in her voice that hasn’t lost its ability to shine. Unfortunately, while her last few albums, 2002’s More Than A Woman and 2005’s Libra haven’t shined as beautifully as her LaFace 90’s days, she still shows no signs of holding her guard down. Her Atlantic Records debut single, Yesterday with Trey Songz, was honestly a really pleasant surprise. I absolutely was surprised how strong their chemistry is. It honestly is much more of a pleasure to listen to than the lackluster songs that have came out in R&B recently from Rihanna, the overexposed Beyonce’ or Mariah Carey have made recently. I’m really hoping that Toni really can deliver a solid album soon. She has shown a much better feeling in her songs, voice and all than most of the wannabes have shown the past few years, and I really am rooting for her.
Song: B
Bland Toni. 2.25 stars.
You either do fine trying to re-tread ideas, or you fall flat. This song, which is almost Just Be A Man About It Pt. II at times (even Trey’s part re-traces some of what Dre did wrong back in 2000) is just boring.
It doesn’t touch any new ground and it doesn’t really feel like Toni to be honest.
Even some of her sappiest love songs aren’t this bad. It also seems like Toni has to strip down to her lingerie to get attention. She doesn’t. All she has to do is sing a song that moves and we, the true fans will be all over it.
The worst part isn’t the dressing down or the re-tracing steps in topic ; it’s probably the sorry excuse of the arrangement. It requires little thought and leaves a lot to be desired.
Keep waiting for the album and hope it shows more promise.
Download ‘So Yesterday’ only if you need new Toni cause good music this is not.
2.25 stars.

Shoes, women love shoes. From heels, high shoes, low set shoes, slingbacks, pumps, loafers, sandals, espadrilles and wedges. The list of shoes goes on and on, and if every woman got her way, then the shoe business would be on shortage.
Shoe brands are just as important as the designs are, as designer shoes that have international reputation do not just turn heads, but make the wearer feel good as well. Brands like Kenneth Cole Reaction create shoes that are respected world wide because they tick all the boxes sought after by the disserning buyer.
While most savvy shoppers live by their own shoe shopping creed, here are a couple of pointers when it comes to shoe shopping (just in case you need to refresh your memory):
By knowing what you want you can invest in a good pair of shoes
Like handbags, a huge variety of shoes are now coming out in the market and they all look good, so of course, all of them are ìmustñhavesî. While great designs aren’t really the problem, itís the fact that the ones you want are ridiculously expensive.
Even so, it is important to invest in at least one really good pair, no matter how ridiculous the price, that you can wear to almost any occasion. If you can afford to buy a designer pair of shoes, go for the one that you can wear versatilely to various occasions and events.
Think comfy Kenneth Cole classic pieces that will never go out of style.
Don't tempt yourself into pink croc leather stiletto even if it's on sale. It simply is not good fashion sense!
buy over the internet
There are numerous websites that sell footwear. Look for a website that sells a whole range of fashion pieces and that way you will be able to coordinate your shoes with other items such as handbags, pants and tops as well to create a whole package. Perfect!
Shopping on a site that categorizes it’s ranges can make the browsing easy, so be sure to look for that feature before laboring for hours on a site that is difficult to navigate.
The best thing about shopping online is that you can easily compare prices without going on foot from store to store.
Sales
Online stores often have end of season sales, just like offine shops. This is a great time to pick up some designer footwear at very good prices, so if your online store of choice has a mailing list, signup! join it!
As with in-person shopping, with sales you need to get in quick to have the best styles and sizes from which to choose
