Advantages: hmmm mutters, hmm some ok tracks
Disadvantages: generally poor
Ah a dance party! I do like a dance and everyone loves a party, but will we like what this CD has to offer. There are 22 tracks and a selection of bonus videos so that you can learn the dance moves and also watch the videos. I can think of nothing more fun.
DJ Casper is somewhat of a one hit wonder and his memorable 'Cha Cha Slide' makes my eyes water as he barks at you to move back and forth for four minutes. Painful. Much better is the slinky 'U Turn' by Usher, as he turns in a sexual performance and the usual pulsating r and b beats cut through the mix with ease.
S Club's 'Reach' is a short burst of fun, though the content is pseduo sickly and all that tripe about reaching for your dreams is aimed at the clueless teenagers across the UK who think they have a chance of becoming the next Pop Factor, or whatever it's called.
R. Kelly's 'Happy People' sticks out like a sore thumb. I would rarely stick him on a party, let alone this plodding, gospel tinged non hit. Thank goodness creepy ginger Damien is at hand with his ghoulish 'Time Warp' to spice things up. Then we get Kylie doing her locotmotive dance, which is dated, tinny and quite fun.
I must pass on 'The Fast Food Song' though, where I can only assume miming ordering a hamburger must be aimed at the same cliental who have just failed to get into X Factor and have 'rewarded' themselves with a slap up McDonalds to celebrate their mediocrity.
'Cotton Eye Joe' is a blast though, as dirty looking backwood types play violins and scamper around yodelling. My kind of people. If you must inspect the second disc, then check out the videos for 'Macarena' where two coffin dogders try and look svelte in suits. Also check out the inane 'Follow The Leader' which is basically The Conga for anyone Carribean with a loud raspy voice.
Quite simply hideous.
Summary: why?
