Hairspray - Soundtrack

This CD is the soundtrack to the 2007 musical, Hairspray. The film is based on the Broadway musical which is based on the 1987 film of the same name by John Walters If you like the music form the film then you'll definitely love this CD! Its a toe tapping extravaganza and if you're anything like me, you won't be able to stop yourself from singing along! The songs come in the order they are on the film and the CD is kicked off with 'Good Morning Baltimore' sung beautifully by Nikki Blonsky. This leads nicely into 'The Nicest Kids in Town' where the lead performer is James Marsden, also featuring the council members. This is one of my favourite songs ...  Read the complete review

The 2007 film Hairspray, a remake of the film of the same name, was an excellent musical rendition, with star turns from John Travolta, Michelle Pfeiffer, Zac Efron and the superstar Nikki Blonsky, who exploded onto the screen as the larger than life Tracy Turnblad, the Baltimore girl growing up in the 1960s who dreams of being one of the gang on the Corey Collins show every day after school. This provokes a bevvy of excellent and uplifting music, which combined well with the acting and the filming to make it one of the gems of 2007 for me. I just had to get the soundtrack. The Hairspray soundtrack features all of the main songs from the film, starting off ...  Read the complete review

This is a fabulous soundtrack, bursting with 19 fun songs that you just want to dance along to, it really is difficult to stop your feet from tapping along from beginning to end! Most of the songs have a story to tell in the same way as most musical soundtracks, they are fun and will have you singing along before you know it! If you have seen this film - the remake of the 1987 version you will love this CD. The CD starts off as the film does with Good Morning Baltimore, and you will be singing along to it before the song is finished. Performed by Nikki Blonsky the singing is first class. Track 2 speeds things up a little with The Nicest Kids in Town - ...  Read the complete review

This is a must for anyone who loves their musicals. Think of it as a Grease of the 60s. I believe the songs and performances are as good. A real feel good album whether you have seen the film or not (though if you haven't, why not??!!) Nikki Blonsky has a voice that will blow you away, and Queen Latifah and James Marsden give great performances too. The songs are upbeat, a little cheesy maybe, but they have a real sing along quality. A good buy for a soundtrack as it's got pretty much all the main songs used in the film, 19 in all. (I hate it when the good songs aren't on the soundtrack and the ones on the soundtrack aren't in the film!!). You can't stop the beat is my ...  Read the complete review

This soundtrack has to be just as great as the film. I love all the songs and sadly enough I know all the words to every song. I can drive my mum and dad mental when I put this CD in the car because I don't shut up singing the songs. I love the way the songs are as well because I like the style of music and they way that all the songs have a really catchy tune to them which makes you remeber them soo well. I think that they are the ones that sell the product more because people who love Zac Efron like me want to buy the film and CD to see and here him singing and talking on there as well. Here is a track listing for the CD. Track 1 Good Morning Baltimore - ...  Read the complete review
