5.0 out of 5 stars WOW!, May 7, 2005

This review is from: Wow Hits 2005 (Audio CD)

This CD set is awesome! It is all the greatest Christian songs from this year.
The first disc is mostly ballads and pop. It begins with MercyMe's "Here With Me" an awesome song, and gets better from there!"
Disc 2 is mainly Rock and Funk, and it is done very well, every song is a hit!
When all is said and done, you might as well buy this.

5.0 out of 5 stars Blown away..., April 2, 2005

By 

Danny Owsley "Brazilboy" (Cuiabá, Brazil) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Wow Hits 2005 (Audio CD)

After being to despondant about the poor songs choices of WOW 2004 (Like Stacie Orrico's shallow "Stick" and the fun, yet pointlss "All my people" and Amy Grant's Syrupy "Simple Things") I was scared to even listen to this. But I had already bought Bethany Dillon's and Selah's most recent CD's (which I reccomend if you like great lyrics) so I went ahead and checked into this.

WOW. Truly wow. These songs just cut right to my soul. Beautiful, Christ centered lyrics about Jesus, his healing restoration, love, mercy, constance, and power were the rule, not the exception like the previous 3 WOW releases.

The artitists were different which was good and bad. I missed Michael W. Smith (His new songs "Healing Rain" or "Here i am" would have fit in perfectly here), but I wished Jaci V. would just give up. After she began to write her songs they became shallow and boring to listen to. her first release "Heavenly Place" remains her best as far as lyrics.

Rachael Lampa on the extreme other hand has begun writing her own songs and will hopefully take Jaci's place at the forfront of christian music. Her song "When I fall" left me thinking "how on earth does she know exactly what i've been through?" She will do great things in the future.

Some wise choices were made. Matthew West, (whose career shoul deservedly sky-rocket after this, his song "more" is so original and raw and wonderful.)Barlow girl (where did these talented, commited girls come from ?) Todd Agnew (WOW, is all I can say about him), and Chris Rice (listen and weep) were all the center stage performers who gave Christ the center stage.

Some wisedom on the producers part: No Switchfoot. No Amy Grant. No Jump5. No Rap. Just Jesus. This release was not something taylored to please, rather it was litterally "coming back to the heart of worship."

I am now breathless for the next year's installment and pray that I will not set my standards too high.

Get this CD and be blessed and bless others (share it with a fried:)

May God bless you through this,

5.0 out of 5 stars UPLIFTING AND TRULY INSPIRING!!!, December 25, 2004

WOW 2005 is an amazing CD set full of uplifting and powerful songs about the message of Christ! There are a few let-down songs ("Everyday People," "Open Skies," and "Cornerstone"), but the rest is some of THE best that Christian Music has to offer! If you're a fan of the WOW series, then get ready for their best collection yet! And if you're a first-time buyer, prepare to hear the message of the Scriptures in a whole new way! Grade: A+
