5.0 out of 5 stars Lou Bega should be cleared of all charges as a 1-hit wonder!, February 4, 2000

This review is from: Little Bit of Mambo (Audio CD)

This CD doesn't deserve the rep it has gotten! The success (and ultimate downfall) of Mambo #5 shouldn't be used to judge Lou's talent. I love how he really doesn't have a great voice, but it's a great compliment to the mambo music. His voice is fun, no other word for it. You'll probably not even listen to Mambo #5 after you buy the CD, which is a good thing, because there are a couple of great songs. Let's get one thing outta the way first: yes, every song sounds alike, but hey, this is the year of teen pop, so who's to complain? The best songs on the album are: I Got a Girl (whih is like Mambo #5 in terms of lyrics, but it's way funner), Tricky Tricky (great video, by the way), Ice Cream (a little slower track, which works well in the middle of the CD), The Most Expensive Girl in the World, 1+1=2, and Beauty on the TV Screen. You can feel the vibe of the CD, and you start to think that "Lou doesn't care if he's being buttered by critics, he just wants to make us smile.....and tap our toes."

4.0 out of 5 stars I love this cd!, November 29, 1999

This review is from: Little Bit of Mambo (Audio CD)

If i was to judge cd by how much i listen to them, Lou Bega would be one of the greatest cd's ever. I can't stop listening to it. Most of the songs are great. I loved Mambo #5, Keep on Smiling, I've Got a Girlfriend Everywhere, and Beauty on the TV Screen. The songs i like the least is Icecream and Tricky Tricky. I just wish there were less swearing though.

This review is from: Little Bit of Mambo (Audio CD)

I am a 40 year old mother of two boys who listen to pop music all the time. When I heard A Little Bit of Mambo, I just couldn't keep my feet still. I love every song on the CD except for Tico Tico... that one is a little too much like rap for me. If you like songs that make you want to dance, you'll love this CD.
