They Don't Have Hits, July 18, 2003
By A Customer
This review is from: Got Hits (Audio CD)
There is a serious problem with the album titled "Got Hits";many of the songs are NOT hits at all. Lets disect the album.
1.Kylie Minouge"Can't Get You Out Of My Head"A-.This one is really good and catchy,definetly a good choice.
2.Justin Timberlake"Like I Love You(Basemant Jaxx Vocal Mix)"B-.Not bad,the original was not only the REAL hit but much better than this.
3.Aaliyah"Try Again"A.Very good song but old, "Miss You" or "I Care 4 U" would have been more recent for a selection
4.DJ Sammy & Yanou feat. Do"Heaven"B.Decent dance tune,but the song was a hit "limited" to dance fans.
5.The Calling"Wherever You Will Go"A.Excellent track,it really gets to me with the lyrics.
6.Coldplay"Yellow"C-.I don't really like Coldplay,I find them boring.If they must be here,why not "The Scientist" instead?
7.Dirty Vegas"Days Go By"A.One of the best songs of 2002,it is simple yet powerful and haunting.
8.Moby"We Are All Made Of Stars"B.A small hit but the song is original and catchy.
9.Atomic Kitten"Tide Is High"F.Useless,British,teen pop garbage.
10.Blue"All Rise"D+.Just not very inpressive at all.
11.A.B. Quintanilla presents Kumbia Kings feat. Frankie J"Don't Wanna Try"B.Not my favorite track but pretty decent music.
12.Jump 5"All I Can Do"D.Same as #9.
13.Nivea"Don't Mess With The Radio"C.This should have been "Don't Mess With MY MAN" instead,which is a bigger hit and better song.
14.Mario"Just A Friend 2002"C.A minor hit that pales in comparison to the original 1989 Biz Markie classic.
15.O-Town"All Or Nothing"B.Very old song, still good though.
16.Jennifer Love Hewitt"BareNaked"B-.Decent, but Jennifer Love Hewitt was not a been chart topper in any way.
17.Nick Carter"Help Me"D+.Nick Carter has had a disappointing solo career with "music" such as this.
18.Lasgo"Something"A-.Terrific song but has the same chart problem as #4.
19.Paula Abdul"Straight Up"A.If Paula Abdul was not on "American Idol" would this be here? It is good,but a bizzare choice among the recent songs here.
20.Kylie Minouge"The Loco-Motion"B.They could have chosen a song frome the last DECADE at least,besides the song seems to simplistic for me.
Bottom line:**.This is that this album has a very poorly selected tracklisting that never quite works. It seems to be a cheap knock off of the "Now Thats What I Call Music" series at best.

Accidental CD, June 14, 2003
This review is from: Got Hits (Audio CD)
My son got this after seeing the ads on TV. I feel bad for him and want to trash this one and buy others, which would be a first for me. There are a few songs that are worthwhile: "Yellow", "All or Nothing", "Help Me", and "Straight Up" (but why is "Straight Up" on a "current" CD?). I wish we had saved our money.
