Awesome new artist
I was totally blown away after seeing Kate on One Tree Hill. But I was even more amazed seeing Kate in person with her band. She is such a dynamic artist who has an old soul. Her music will stand the test of time.

Only Fooling Myself
Monday, April 28, 2008
August Rush
Wow! This movies suprised a lot of my friends and family. It was a wonderful story about a young man who came through insurmountable odds, based on the simple belief that he would prevail. His acting was very natural and fluent. The way the movie catapolted you into it felt a lot like Mr. Hollands Opus. Know one could not be cheering for the character at the movie's end. His love of music was insperational and driven. We have recommened it to several family friends and have borrowed ours out as well. Why it did not do better at the box office is beyond me. No guns and violence doesn't mean it lacked in the drama department. It was beautiful.

Stargate SG-1
As a StarGate SG1 fan from day one, it was heartbreaking to see the series come to an end, but they couldn't have ended on a higher note. This episode is absolutely wonderful - touching, exciting, and sad. I loved it. The effects are absolutely stunning. Full scale movie quality stuff. Best ever. Sniff!!

Leavin'
Love this New Song
I absolutely love this new song from Jesse. I cannot wait to find out when he will release the other version of Leavin' which stars Jesse Mccartney and Rich Berra from the "Johnjay and Rich Radio Show" playing only the guitar and Jesse singing... That Song is awesome.

Flight Of The Conchords
Love these guys. I will freely admit, it took me a few viewings before I "got" Flight of the Conchords on HBO. At first it just seemed weird and silly to me. Then, much like Monty Python, Bob Dylan, Woody Allen (geniuses I didn't quite "get" at first), something clicked. Their humor is sarcastic, dry, witty, and sometimes surreal (see "Bowie") but always inspired. Furthermore, after several listens you will appreciate how well-written and complex some of their songs are. Besides, this CD is worth the price for "Rhymeasouras versus Hiphoppopotomus" alone (sorry that I butchered the spellings there...forgive me...but the song cracks me up). These guys mimic all kinds of genres, but the one constant in all their songs is their goofy outlook on the world and their subtle, dry wit. Love it! Can't wait for season 2! This CD will hopefully tide me over...hey guys, how about a full-length live album sometime? That would be sweet!

Love In This Club (Main Version)
If you love this track check out Smoke Sessions, Vol. 1- Devin the Dude, Da Real Thang is off tha chayne ........................
Usher is indeed coming back.
This song makes you think, "Welcome back."
It's catchy, it'll be a hit in the club but it's no 5-star song.
Believe that.
The beginning, "And I promise I'm gonna keep it comin' all night lo o o o o o o o ong." is the best part in the song.
But the song gets repetitive.
But the lyrics are fun.
It's better than Yeah.
It's extremely radio-friendly.
Good luck, Ush!

Amazon disappoints me for the first time1
I never thought Amazon would let me down like this. I am a huge Amazon customer. My purchases go all the way back to the beginning of Amazon. I have spent thousands of dollars on Amazon. I am also a huge Mac fan and user. Amazon is preventing me from using my iTunes, my computer, my Apple TV and my iPod for playback of The Office Season 4. Unbox is so antiquated compared to the elegant method I was allowed to use for the other three seasons. Please reconsider and get together with NBC, will you?
Hell Ya!!5
o my some people are pissed off about unbox!! im happy to say im NOT one of them. i was very pleasantly surprised to learn that i could download new episodes of my favorite show, the office of course, right to my computer!! it sure beats waiting for it to come to DVD. i also really liked the idea of the office going to hour long episodes (just downloaded the 3rd episode), so i was kinda disappointed when i found out they went back to half an hour episodes :( but that didnt change my love for the show!! ill take the office anyway i can get it!! the first 3 seasons were just great and with what ive seen of the 4th season my opinion hasnt changed. and isnt likely too. although i do want to punch Ryan in the mouth!! but i have a feeling hell get what he has coming to him........ill keep my fingers crossed!!
The Office rulez all!5
This is one of the best shows, that I have seen, in a long time. The cast is amazing and the writing is top notch.

God awful drums and background music2
Her voice is great, the song is pretty catchy, the music video is well done, she is gorgeous... but the drums sounds like a cheap radio turned all the way up (clipping/distortion), and the organ/keyboard/synthesizer sounds like a cheap childhood Casiotone... spoiled the whole song! I do hope they fire the band and re-release another version of this song. Those bleedin' drums!!
If you're bleeding love, get a band-aid....3
Leona Lewis has hit it big in the UK, winning Simon Cowell's "The X-Factor" (think of American Idol across the Pond) Her "Bleeding Love" has made her a British success,and she's bringing it overseas. It's enjoying success in the colonies.
"Bleeding Love" is the usual heartbreak/breakup song. There are the lyrics of "you're cutting me up/I'm bleeding love." The lyrics aren't that bad. It's a song about codependence, or the pain of an emotional break. Lewis' delivery is semi-soulful/semi-Celine Dion. The instrumentation, which is soft rock-meets-hip hop, makes her a quasi-Mariah Carey. Every once in awhile, Lewis verges into histironics. The song is neither as great as KT Tunstall,nor as awful as Fergie. It's "eh."
"Bleeding Love" won't have you dancing along. It's a ballad,and a bland one at that. If you're bleeding love, get an antiseptic,and put on a band-aid.
fantastic5
Wonderful sound, the words are great, very heartfelt, touches the heart and soul, the ultimate in all sound, words, and the beat. Very touching. Great and wonderful. No words can really describe the feeling.

House: Skeptical at first, But...5
When the last season ended I was thinking that there was no way I would get back into enjoying House again as I could not imagine it without the original supporting cast. However, it has been really enjoyable and captivating following the direction they are heading and also getting to gain insight into the new characters as they unfold. I love this show! Dr.House (Hugh Laurie) is such an excellent and diverse actor he can make just about any situation "work" and be beliveable! Go House!
His "Jerkness" explained.4
I like this year's season, just as well as all earlier ones. The difference this time around is that the diagnostic challenges, while still convoluted and involving esoteric medicine, are hitting House while he's absent a team. He's having to boil the ocean on the HR side, and cure patients at the same time. House-like, he's brutal with his subordinates, but he uses their medical inputs to enable his diagnostics process, even as he fires them. Notice the pill-popping and white board aren't so in-your-face? They've had their day too. I hope the show gets another season after this one. The newbies aren't quite real yet, and we need to get to know them. Right now they're all kinda bland. But House ain't.
Producers, leave those kids alone?3
I am stuck by the continued decline of "House" in season 4. The season reeks badly of producers introducing dumb ideas to drive up short-term ratings--in season 3 it merely smelled bad. Please release the writers and devotees of the show to guide it properly, or expect an early demise.
Most likely wasted words on deaf ears, but I hope not.
Eric of no affiliation whatsoever to "House" or its producers/promoters
p.s. Amazon, please screen your reviewers or have their biases revealed. Several come across as sincophantic droolers.

Good in perspective4
It's a catchy song and almost original. It sounds good on a cd, but when listening to a live version, one wonders if the guy on stage is the same on the album, and if they only hired him for the looks....O.O
Song is catchy as hell and pretty well produced4
I had heard this single on the radio a number of times and it is so catchy that I was compelled to buy a copy.
Production of this track is very solid. Like I said, catchy as hell.
ABSOLUTE TRASH1
This guy CLEARLY has no talent. Anyone with ears can hear that. He is killing hip-hop!!!!!!!!!!

Great actors doing a lousy job1
in a not very good movie. Duvall, usually a marvelous actor is wooden, tired, Wahlberg also usually marvelous, literally phones his lines in and Phoenix who was simply brilliant as Johnny Cash relies on twitches and tics to indicate emotion in his character. A fine bunch of supporting actors given dull dialogue in an even duller plot. An uninspired shame of a movie, not even good enough to be given B status.

A Song That Grows As A Novelty
First off, I gave this song 4-stars because nobody else has yet done so. But anyways, when I first heard this song in full, I wasn't impressed, and the MacBook commercial seemed to get the best part of the song. I mean the song was original, different, and a throwback to who knows when, but it just wasn't that impressive. Well, I am now sad to say, my opinion hasn't changed much, however this is the type of song that grows on you. So at first you may hate it, then you'll think it's OK, then you'll like it, then you might love it.
The song has a real novel quality, in that it's a novelty. It's not going to win Grammy's, but it's fun. I really started loving it when me and my family found ourselves singing along with the 'la la la la' part. However, the song is great for the first two minutes or so, then it starts falling apart, going off in weird and strange directions. So like most Peter Jackson movies, this song needed to go back to the editing room. Sure 2-minutes isn't very long, but when your peak is a MacBook commercial, you can shorten the song a bit.
So overall, you might love it, you might hate it. It's a strange and different song that may be far from perfect, but it has some very good elements to it. And that might just make the song worth buying...
Real Score: 3.5
Not To My Liking
Open minded, I gave it a try and listened more than once. This CD just doesn't work for me. Nice album cover though.
Rubbish.........
Commercial always use annoying songs don't they? This one takes the cake. I had to look it up, so I could hate it more, if you can understand that. Her voice is like fingernails on a chalk board. Not good at all.

Downloaded to HD Tivo; Aspect ratio was loused up, unwatchable1
It wouldn't seem so hard to get the aspect ratio right, but that wasn't the case this time and the result was unwatchable. Now I'm wary of downloading video from Amazon. At least this video was free, so I didn't have to go trying to get my money back.
Want to see more4
As with most bikini vids, the shots are too fast-paced to get a good look at anything. The music was great.
Free? Nothing is "Free"1
Nothing is free, all these ads offer for "FREE", You've got to be kidding me!When you have to buy something to get something it is definately not free!Come on People!
