5.0 out of 5 stars An Amazing Album!, November 10, 1999

Ben McDermott (Fort Erie Ontario Canada) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Pokemon: The First Movie (Audio CD)

I have never seen the Pokemon TV show, so when I purchased this CD, I didn't know what to expect. However after listening to the album, I must say, it is amazing!. The album features some of pop music's biggest stars like Britney, Christina, N-Sync, and 98 Degrees. It featuers many up-tempo catchy songs along with some impressive ballads. Album highlights include "Makin My Way (Anyway That I Can) sung by Billie. The song, written by songwriter extrodinare Diane Warren, has a very inspirational lyric about not letting anyone stop you from achieving your goal. This mid-tempo ballad is sure to win over the hearts of top 40 radio instantly. New artist Ashley Ballard makes a HUGE impression on "It Was You". Produced by Rodney Jerkins, the song has a fresh and current sound that accompany's Ballard's amazing voice. It has some serious potiential. The standout track is Christina Aguliera's "We're A Miracle". The songs beautiful arrangement and enchanting melody is incredible. Aguliera proves once again that she leads the pack of new, young faces that are trying to make it big. She delievers a powerful performance on a song that should have been included on her debut album. Some of the songs on the album sound like songs from a Nintendo game (especially "Catch Me If You Can"), but if you miss out on the above mentioned tracks, you are missing out on some of the finest work by young music artist in a long time!

5.0 out of 5 stars Good music, but didn't fit the movie., January 25, 2000

QuickMan - See all my reviews

This review is from: Pokemon: The First Movie (Audio CD)

I've got this CD and have enjoyed it ever since. The music is easy on the ears, yet upbeat enough to keep my interest. I've shared it with my cousins and they've loved it also. My youngest cousin, when not running around shouting "Pika pika pikachu!" is usually bugging me to pop the disc into the player so she can "groove". I know many who absolutly hate Pokemon, yet they've enjoyed the music.

Now, to get to my point. I own the video to "Mewtwo Strikes Back" and I have seen both the English and the Japanese version. My rant? The music just does not fit the movie's overall mood. If you've heard the origonal soundtrack to the Japanese version, you'd agree. The creepy organ music (dubbed: Mewtwo's theme) is really, really, shall I say it?-- cool. The Japanese Pokemon theme, the battle scene music, all of it fits the movie's mood to a T. So, I ask: why, when a movie or cartoon is transliterated into English, do they change the origonal soundtrack? It was so much better than the English version! My little cousins agree also, as do many others who have seen and/or heard the origonal Japanese version. So, as a plight to WB: Keep the music the same, just translate the words to English. It's much easier that way.

Domo arigatou.
