Good, but not all!, 28 Nov 2004

After the movie, had to get the soundtrack. It is as great as the first. (Thought I wish Gabrielle did another song!). However, there are only 15 songs, and the songs we really wanted were not on this one. So doing an internet search we discovered another album in the UK WITH the 15 plus the other 6 songs left off in the US version. So disappointed! I would not have bought it to start with if I had known that there was another FULL album out there. Now I have to wait for the import, and REPURCHASE the other 15 songs.

WHA' HAAAAPENED?, 1 Dec 2004

I would REALLY like to know why the excellent Jamelia song, "Stop" has TOTALLY different LYRICS on the CD than in the movie. Weirdest thing. The film version of the song had beautiful lyrics that were dead on appropriate to the scene. The album version is a generic love song. Forgettable lyrics. I'm hoping that the IMPORT will have the real version. Again, as with the first movie, the IMPORT CD is the only way to go, and Bridget fans will find that the songs they TRULY LOVED FROM THE MOVIES ARE NOT ON THE US VERSIONS OF THE CD's. Another music scam ? I'm afraid so. Bad form. Other than that the songs are great for Bridget devotees. BUT SAVE YOUR $ AND SHELL OUT FOR THE IMPORT, AS THE RECORD COMPANY SEEMS TO BE FORCING US TO DO.

"the edge of reason" soundtrack enlights my day..., 12 Dec 2004

The soundtrack of "Bridget Jones: The edge of reason" is a mix of pop songs, old classics and music that is meant to make you laugh, thinking about the movie. It's a predictable selection, for sure, but who cares? Isn't it funny and delicious to listen to Barry's White "you're the first, the last..." or "I'm not in love", by 10cc, on the same album? This CD brings three highlights, in my opinion. The first, probably the best song on the compilation, is the version of "everlasting love", sang by Jamie Cullum. This guy has an amazing voice and really makes the song sound better. I also love the emotional cover of "Sorry seems to be the hardest word", by Mary J. Blige and at last, but not least, the duo between Rufus Wainwright and Dido, "I eat dinner" -- absolutely funny.
I have the three CDs of "Bridget Jones" movies and whenever I feel like, I listen to them,to remember the movie, which is also great. Check out the international version of the album, with 3 extra tracks!
