4.0 out of 5 stars
A little bit of everything, February 16, 2000
This review is from: 2000 Grammy Nominees: Pop (Audio CD)
I wanted "Mambo #5" but didn't want to buy the Lou Bega CD. I wanted "Livin' La Vida Loca" but didn't want to buy the Ricky Martin CD. I wanted "No Scrubs" but didn't want to buy the TLC CD. Yadda yadda yadda. This is a decent sampler of some of 1999's more popular songs that will save you from having to buy cds you don't want.

5.0 out of 5 stars
Hot! Hot! Hot!, February 11, 2000
This review is from: 2000 Grammy Nominees: Pop (Audio CD)
This CD gives you a little taste of several different styles of music. I love it! It gives you the chance to expand your music tastes a little at a time. Even though I normally enjoy a milder rock style, I can get into Kid Rock and Santana with no problem here. Susan Tedeschi is a great new talent and Lou Bega has me singing along, too. This CD will have great appeal to people of all ages.

Should have been better, August 22, 2001
This review is from: 2000 Grammy Nominees: Pop (Audio CD)
It gets 5 stars for Santana, Macy Gray, Susan Tedeschi, Marc Anthony, Andrea Bocelli and Sting. And maybe Kid Rock...I'm still out on that one. But the others. Oh boy. BSB's, Ricky, Christina, and Britney. Soooo overplayed and for the most part, so shallow and manufactured. Do they really deserve a Grammy nomination? I think not. When I think of all the really fantastic groups and artists out there, who, because they don't have the big bucks and big companies behind them, get little or no recognition. Instead we get manufactured artists who can only "sing", dance and look good. I know I will probably end up with a million non-helpful votes for my views, but that's ok. But it just seems to me, that over the last couple of years or so, songs are winning Grammys or getting nominations based on their radio popularity and teen fan base, rather than their true musical merit. And it is sad.
