1.0 out of 5 stars Not as good as I had hoped, January 7, 2000

I was expecting much more from this work. They had great material to work with but the artists did not seem to pay attention to what the original intent of the song was. For example, they made "Russians" sound way too up beat. "Sont stand so close to me" sounded more like Muzak than the swing they had promised. They just didn't make the most of an excellent opportunity.

Not even cheesy enough to be cool. These interpretations of the songs were godawful. Musak, but not even the kind that Tim Burton would show a suburbanite housewife bopping down the cereal aisle to. I am definetly ditching this cd as soon as I find a willing victim.
