Cheggers' Choice: The Worst Album On The Planet/40 Clucking ...

Just because everyone says something is bad, it doesn't mean that it is. This is a compilation of what are supposedly the worst songs ever released. In 1999 Keith Chegwin introduced a show on Channel 4 about the 10 worst songs of all time. This 40-track album appeared shortly afterwards. There's a picture of Chegwin dressed as a chicken on the front - I have no idea what chickens have to do with bad music. (Possibly Cheggers just wanted to dress as a chicken. This was only a couple of years before he got his knob out for Channel 5.) Thing is, though, I actually find a lot of this music enjoyable. Basically, it's a collection of novelty records and unfashionable pop songs. I ...

I should know about music. I should be able to write a review, and talk about melancholy chords, and phrasing, and key signatures, and all of that lovely stuff. I should be able to, because i have an A level in music. Unfortunately, because I had never studied music before A level, and sang for my practicals, I have never, and will never have the knowledge i should do. Perhaps i should have studied harder. Sigh. Beyond all that, I know my Musicals. I have been obsessed every since I was a child, when my dad took me and my brother to see "Starlight Express". I know, I know. Not the classiest of musicals, but it lit a fire in my tummy that has never ...

Thank you Susan Boyle for subjecting us all to one of the most depressing shows in history. Now, this will surprise you but I like the music from this hsow. the show itself is long, dull and depressing. The score and vocal arrangements are unforgetable melodic and brilliantly sung. The cast here speak for themselves. Michael Ball alone is worth the price, although when he sings 'Empty Chairs' i can't help wishing he had died with his comrades. It drones on a bit. that aside the other numbers are rousing and worhty of all the hype. i Dreamed a Dream is a fabulous song and Miss Boyle shot it to fame in that famous TV talent show. Others worthy of note are On ...
