Pop Idol - The Big Band Album

------------------------------ POP IDOL - The Big Band Album ------------------------------ Well, they're back! We no longer have to sit looking lost on a Saturday night. For all of you who, like me, were beginning to get withdrawal symptoms we can once again get our fix of Pop Idol. Perhaps it's not as good as seeing them in the flesh but it's a pretty good substitute don't you think?!? I love what this album has achieved in the fickle world of modern music. For all those teeny-boppers who have never heard any of the old classics, this album has brought some of them to the attention of us all.

''Pop Idol'', has launched a number of successful careers for several contestants. Will Young, Gareth Gates, Aaaron Bayley, Hayley Evetts, Zoe Birkett, Korben, Laura Docherty, Jessica Garlick, Darius Danesh and Rosie Ribbons make this a great album.

''Beyond The Sea'' is sang by Will Young. The song is an obvious big band track. A very gentle and soft song. Very nice listening. Will's voice really shows on this song. ''Get Happy'' is an ...  Read the complete review
