Customer Reviews

Great remakes of the old songs are updated, but keep the core of the original. Bonnie Coke  |  10 reviewers made a similar statement
The rest of the album was not at all worth the purchase. iTunes did the same thing. Bran25  |  2 reviewers made a similar statement
I mean, really have no idea what they're referring to; as, it DOES have all the songs from the movie! Kevin M. Coyne  |  3 reviewers made a similar statement

I saw the movie at a sneak preview in Austin, TX. I was in the no way should they redo Footloose camp. Then I saw the movie and was an immediate fan. The music in the movie is SOOOO much better then the crap on this soundtrack. This soundtrack is way to heavy in the singer/songwriter style of music, and has a lot of county. There are songs from the new movie completely missing. This "soundtrack" is very disappointing. It should really be called a CD inspired by the movie Footloose, cuz people, it ain't the soundtrack to the movie. Don't bother buying this unless you're into singer/songwriter style and are looking for something new.

2.0 out of 5 stars Most of the songs do not compare with the original. October 30, 2011
By Jewel
Format:MP3 Music
Go listen to the original Footloose movie soundtrack and compare song per song. As an example "Holding out for a Hero" original song by Bonnie Tyler is inspiring and has a great dance beat compared to the new rendition which does not even resemble the great sound and composition of the original.

In fact compare the whole movie to the original. The new movie seems a pale imitation.

1.0 out of 5 stars Nothing Inspired here... October 14, 2011
By modnewt
Format:Audio CD
Folks, I'm not some old fuddy-duddy who can't appreciate a cover song. Gretchen Wilson covering Barracuda? Rockin'. Alison Krauss covering the Foundations? Awesome. Rascal Flatts covering Life is a Highway? Too cool.

However, this CD is a hideously overproduced mish-mash of inferior remakes and unmemorable originals. The worst of the remakes is "Holding Out for a Hero" which turns an upbeat anthem into a whiny plea for a boyfriend. Blake Shelton's effort on "Footloose" is at least tolerable but loses all of the soul and passion of Kenny Loggin's version. The original songs aren't much better. They finish it off (if you can get that far) by putting a token hip-hop song on an album full of country and blues.
