5.0 out of 5 stars My New Favorite Album! (Be Prepared to Sing Along), August 10, 2008

This review is from: Mamma Mia! The Movie Soundtrack (MP3 Download)

First off, I am 16 years old and before seeing the movie Mamma Mia, was not familiar with any of ABBA's songs except for Mamma Mia and Dancing Queen. I loved everything about the film from start to finish: the cast, setting, plot, and, of course, the catchy songs that can make 40 year old men want to sing along! I immediately went home and bought the whole CD, listening to it repeatedly. I adore each and every song, and the whole CD deserves to be purchased, not just certain songs. Amanda Seyfried, who is virtually unknown except for Mean Girls, has a simply beautiful voice. Although in interviews she said that she does not plan on pursuing a career in singing, I believe that she would be very successful if she did. I loved every single song she sang on the album, and am stunned that "The Name of the Game" was omitted from the movie. Meryl Streep proved that she can really do anything. Her voice is amazing. Anyone who says otherwise is just wrong. She brings so much emotion to the piece "The Winner Takes it All." It's simply breathtaking. Contradicting many other reviews, I thought all three men (Pierce Brosnan, Colin Firth, and Stellan Skarsgard) have wonderful voices. People keep saying that Pierce sounds horrible, but I don't know how they are making that assertion. He sings "SOS" and "When All is Said and Done" terrifically, in my opinion. Finally, Christine Baranski and Julie Walters harmonized perfectly with Meryl Streep in songs like "Super Trouper" and "Dancing Queen." Christine Baranski nails "Does Your Mother Know" and Julie Walters hits home with "Take a Chance on Me."

My Favorite songs from the album:

Honey, Honey

Mamma Mia

Dancing Queen

The Name of the Game

Slipping Through my Fingers (although not mentioned by many other reviewers, this has to be in my top 3 favorites. The song is really sad and moving, especially in the film--and the segment where Meryl and Amanda harmonize is outstanding)

Does Your Mother Know

SOS (LOVE IT)

The Winner Takes it All

I Have a Dream

Thank You for the Music (perfect completion to the album)

4.0 out of 5 stars Loved this soundtrack, July 19, 2008

I saw the movie the day it opened. The cast had so much fun with the music. If you like Abba it's icing on the cake.

Best cuts:

'Mama Mia'--Meryl reverts to a giggly hormonal teenager.

'Does You Mother Know'--Christine Baranski makes it a delightful middled-aged woman's anthem.

'Gimme! Gimme! Gimme! (a man after midnight)--Amanda Seyfried's sweet voice gives it a naughty little twist. May just become the coming year's signature bachelorette party song.

Downsides:

'Waterloo' isn't included and should have been.

Poor Pierce Bronsan can't sing.

3.0 out of 5 stars Not quite the movie, March 20, 2009

Despite being a long-time Abba fan, I loved the less than professional singing of some of the actors in the movie...yes, even Pierce Brosnan. The 'feeling' they put into the lyrics made them more meaningful.

My only disappointment was finding the singing on the CD was not quite like the movie, almost as if they electronically improved their voices...particularly in the case of Streep...and a lot of the quirkiness they added in inflection and tone in the movie was missing on the CD.
