5 comments about Pokemon X: Ten Years of Pokemon.

1. Item came as stated, good shape. Shipping was slow but could be due to the fact that I order around Xmas time.



2. My boys (ages 4 & 7) love this CD and my husband and I actually don't mind listening to it either.



3. Although I already own every other Pokemon soundtrack and compilation disc ever made, including some that are not even licensed by Nintendo, I still purchased this CD, and I am thoroughly satisfied with it.
   Yes, there are many tracks on this disc that are repeats from past CD's, but over-all, the new ones are worth it.
   All-in-all I think that this disc is well-worth buying. An upbeat and fun CD to listen, it is great for the whole family of Poke-fans.



4. My daughters and I love to listen and sing along to the 18 songs on this CD. Many of the songs will be familiar if you watch the shows and movies. This was the first Pokemon CD I've bought and it was a good choice because it has many fun & upbeat songs that we all enjoy.



5. Want this CD? Willing to put up with re-released versions of all the Kanto and Johto songs such as the first two theme songs and miscellaneous tracks like Double Trouble? (I ask: WHY?!)
   
   If you're a longtime fan, with CDs of 2.B.A Master and Totally Pokemon already in the collection, don't bother. Half of this CD's tracks are a waste of time; we've heard them all before! In fact, not even half of the music here is new material. Most of the new stuff is theme songs, which are also disappointing if you're looking for full 3 minute tracks. Some, like the Battle Frontier theme, only go for about 48 seconds. Tsk tsk; didn't Loeffler and Co bother to come up with more verses in the later seasons?
   
   However, if you're a real enthusiast and you've signed all the petitions to get more CD's released; I suppose this is better than nothing, and it's funny listening to the guy in the Hoenn PokeRap mispronounce all the names. And the CD cover is prettyful. (lots of new poses for all your favourite monsters)
   
   Unlike the first two CD's, there are NO lyrics provided, just updated info on who actually composed the theme songs (urging you to fix up your iTunes playlists). Still, I gave it three stars all the same; the tracks at the end make up for all the old stuff at the beginning. (And yes, I do realise that it's important to come back to the franchise's roots with the first couple of season's music such as the main theme song and the Rap at the end; but there's just a little too many from the first two CD's put on this one to make it actually logical...)

5 comments about Totally Pokemon (From the TV Series).

1. Well, i loved He Drives Me Crazy. It really does talk about Misty's secret crush on Ash. Though it was quite obivious that Misty loved Ash, Ash was, shall we say, slightly thick-headed to not notice that. If you noticed, Misty agrees to what Ash says first, then Brock follows suit. I really wished that things were better for Misty and Ash. Well back on track, You will really LOVE the song "He Drives Me Crazy". Ash was really mean to leave Misty and go to another region when she cant come. She was there in every step and he rewards her like this(Yes, i did see that episode). This song is like a continuation from "Misty's Song" which is sung by Misty when Ash is asleep. I did not buy this CD but my Cousin did and after he got another CD gave this to me.
   I really think Ash is moving through friends too fast. First, Misty, then May now Dawn. Sheesh. Any way,
   Thanks for your kind attention,
   Good bye and love Pokemon!



2. If you love Pokémon, this CD is for you. It may be cheesy stuff, but I just bought this CD and I love it. (I'm 19 years old). A must have for Pokémaniacs!



3. This CD goes up with the rest of those pop songs out there. It's great! Kids can listen to it and there parents don't have to have a worry about anything bad happening at all. Even teens can enjoy it. My older sister who is 15 loves All We Wanna Do. I love pop songs! This is definatly one CD that pokemon worked hard on.



4. This is a great CD! I really love it and hope you will too, as this CD was made for Pokemon Nuts like me!
   
   1. Pokemon Johto: An inspirational song about discovering new places and stuff!
   
   2. Pikachu! I Choose You!: A song with a Latin beat and I like it! It's all about meeting Pikachu and stuff! Piakchu rules!
   
   3. All We Wanna Do: Also very inspirational about being yourself and having fun with life!
   
   4. The Game: It's a good song, about being a Pokemon Master and making it all the way!
   
   5. He Drives Me Crazy: This is my personal favorite! It's about Misty's secret crssh on Ash, but it's also kind of a love song.
   
   6. You and Me and Pokemon: About becoming friends with Pokemon and stuff. Great song! Also a favorite!
   
   7. Biggest Part of My Life: About how training Pokemon has become a big part of life! I like this one too!
   
   8. Do You Really Wanna Play?: Great song! I like it.
   
   9. Song of Jigglypuff: Jiggly, jiggly! Nice song!
   
   10. 2 Perfect Girls: I LOVE this song!
   
   11. Never Too Far From Home: About always knowing that whatever you choose to do, your family and pals are behind you all the way!
   
   12. PokeRap: Cool song, upbeat and, well, cool!
   The karaoke versions: If you know the words I say, why not? Sing it!
   
   Side note: These songs are very inspirational! Play them when you're feeling down. They cheer me up no matter what!



5. An enjoyable CD that everyone can listen to, especially children. Since it's a 2001 release, it is mostly consistent with the Pop music phenomenon of that time, although not entirely Pop-oriented.
   
   1. "Pokémon Johto": the theme song for the third season of the TV series, "The Johto Journeys." A song with a happier tone than the original "Pokémon Theme" from the first television season, and the album, "2.B.A. Master." [5 Stars]
   
   2. "Pikachu (I Choose You)": an upbeat Latin-style song. It has a nice guitar and trumpet solo. [4 Stars]
   
   3. "All We Wanna Do": a very nice song to dance to. Good lyrics coupled with some nice synthesizers. Slightly Pop-oriented. [4 Stars]
   
   4. "The Game": a song that can get somewhat redundant after a while, although the chorus is a nice catchy tune. [3.4 Stars]
   
   5. "He Drives Me Crazy": a song performed by, supposedly the character Misty, although the lead singer sounds nothing like the character. Could be considered Pop-oriented. [3.8 Stars]
   
   6. "You and Me and Pokémon": a very nice song with good lyrics, and good singers. My personal favorite. [5 Stars]
   
   7. "Biggest Part of My Life": definitely not my favorite here. It would be a good song, except for the lyrics, which seem to idolize the whole Pokémon idea. [2 Stars]
   
   8. "Do Ya Really Wanna Play": an okay song that is the most Pop-oriented one on this disc. [3 Stars]
   
   9. "Song of Jigglypuff": a relaxing song with Jigglypuff singing solo in places. [4 Stars]
   
   10 "Two Perfect Girls": a song sure to put a smile on your face. It is a Late '50s style song that is performed by Eric Stuart, the voice-actor of the character Brock (Stuart has a few other albums out by his group, "The Eric Stuart Band," not of this style music, however). [5 Stars]
   
   11. "Never Too Far From Home": a nice slow ballad with good lyrics. [4 Stars]
   
   12. "PokéRap GS": the new version of the original "PokéRap" heard in the album "2.B.A. Master." Even though it by no means outdoes its predecessor, it has some good overall lyrics. It can get redundant after a while, though. [3 Stars]
   
   13-19: Various karaoke tracks from the original songs.
   
   Overall, this album isn't quite as good as its predecessor, "2.B.A. Master," but it has a few better songs to it. Pokémon fans of any age should like this CD's fun songs and overall carefree tone.

5 comments about Pokemon 2.B.A. Master.

1. My son loves dancing and singing along to this CD - he'll even put it on in the morning before school. He also listens to it while he's reading his Diamond & Pearl Official Guide Book. Fun music for Pokemon fans!



2. The songs on this CD are great songs that are really surprising to hear. Suprising because of how the songs are expertly presented in multiple genres while still maintaining a unique feel that is clearly at home with Pokémon. Even though the CD was released in the '90s, the songs can still compete with the recent releases. As a bonus, the CD comes with a PokéRAP video which can be used on a computer. This CD combines great songs with great Pokémon flavor, and is one that should not be missed.



3. Let me begin by saying I'm fifteen. It was when I was eight that I first discovered Pokemon, and feel instantly in love with it. I had the games, the movies, the cards and everything. Around 2002, however, my interest waned and I gradually stopped collecting Pokemon, only playing one of the games now and then. Recently, however, I dug up this old CD in my closet and, having nothing better to do, decided to give it another shot.
   
   Was I surprised! Eight years later, I'm still nodding my head, tapping my foot and (heaven forbid) singing to the catchy little tunes on 2.B.A. Master that amused me so much when I was younger. Now, how about a quick rundown of the songs?
   
   1. Pokemon Theme
   How can you go wrong here? The traditional theme of the anime, though in it's extended form. Nothing exicting, but a classic for tried-and-true fans.
   8/10
   
   2. 2.B.A Master
   The namesake of the CD, though as to why sorta baffles me. The song in itself isn't all that great. It reminds me of some twisted combination of bubbly pop and pseudo-rap with a Pokemon coating, though that's probably a really bad description. Youc an safely pass this track up.
   5/10
   
   3. Viridian City
   Oh wow...This one bring back memories...My favorite song on the CD when I was younger, and remains so today. Yeah, the lyrics are cheesy, but the beat itself is fun and fast-paced. And despite the rather corny lyrics, you just can't help but sing along at times.
   9/10
   
   4. What Kinds Of Pokemon Are You?
   "Very Ehhh" is the only way to describe it. Another pseudo-rap that's only sub-par. It's essentially a guy naming all the Pokemon types and what sort of attacks they have. Still, it has its moments.
   5/10
   
   5. My Best Friends
   The first of the trio of emotional songs on the CD. I can't put my finger on why I like it, but there's simply something about "My Best Friends" that makes me smile. It does sound very similar to the more popular "Together Forever", though.
   8.5/10
   
   6. Everything Changes
   For the longest time I hated this song, I really did. But I gave it a chance and eventually it grew on me. Anyways, "Everything Changes" gets off to a verrrrrry slow start. In fact, you only get into the meat of the song about 1 minute in. That aside, it's not too shabby.
   6.5/10
   
   7. The Time Has Come
   The second emotional track on 2.B.A. Master. Probably the slowest song yet, but don't let that deter you. The music itself is very beautiful and stunning at times, and the lyrics fit, I suppose. The only downside is I find the singer's voice to be off for some reason. But then, that's just my opinion.
   8/10
   
   8. Pokemon Dance Mix
   Perfect for raising your spirits after the heartfelt "The Time Has Come". Makes for an exellent workout track with an almost techno-y feel to it. The typically corny Pokemon lyrics aren't too bad in this one, either.
   9/10
   
   9. Double Trouble
   When I was younger, even my mom loved this track (but then, she's a Team Rocket fan)! And for good reason, I might add. Captures the Tema Rocket spirit perfectly - villainous with a tad of humor and wackyness. It's surprisingly well-sung considering the singers are using the voices of their characters rather than their actual singing voices.
   8.5/10
   
   10. Together Forever
   Not quite as nice as "My Best Friends", in my opinion, but "Togther Forever" does a nice job of wrapping up the emotional trio of tracks. The beginning is very nice, and the song itself is uplifting.
   8/10
   
   11. Misty's Song
   Ughhhh...The worst song on the CD. It's not that I don't like the pairing of Ash and Misty (I don't care either way), but this song is simply terrible. It's a cheap shot at a slow ballad that has no substance whatsoever. The lyrics are the corniest yet, and the singer's voice is rather nasally. Please, do yourself a favor and skip this track!
   2/10
   
   12. Pokerap
   Puts your faith back in the Pokemon franchise after the dissapointing "Misty's Song". Pokerap is a compilation of the ending clips shown in the first season of the anime. It features two guys reciting the first 150 Pokemon peppered with some cute dialogue. While it doesn't sound like much, it's quite entertaining and catchy.
   7.5/10
   
   13. You Can Do It
   The obligatory motivational track. While not bad in itself, it just doesn't fit the theme of Pokemon. Yeah, it touches upon the chasing after your dreams and reaching high sort of themes, but it feels out of place for some reason. Really, it's one of those songs you either love or hate.
   6/10
   
   
   Overall? Yeah, 2.B.A. Master is an exellent purchase, whether you're a long-time Pokemon Fan or a younger enthusiast. It provides some fun and peppy music even if you're not a die-hard fan.

4. Our six year old son likes it alot, he loves music, and he loves Pokemon, so of course we got this CD for him, for Christmas. He particularly likes number 7- The time has come, Pikachu's good-bye.



5. This is probably the best Pokémon CD out there.
   
   1. Pokemon Theme-9/10. The first theme song!
   2. 2 B A Master-8/10.
   3. Viridian City-10/10. Love it.
   4. What Kind of Pokemon Are You?-10/10. So memorable.
   5. My Best Friends-10/10! Some of the verses aren't the greatest but the refrain is very beautiful.
   6. Everything Changes-10/10 too. Powerful message.
   7. The Time Has Come-10/10...seeing a pattern? These emotionally charged songs are great. And there's no way to tell this is from Pokemon.
   8. Pokemon-8/10.
   9. Double Trouble-10/10! Go Team Rocket! Always my favorites. Need more Butch and Cassidy though; they deserve their own DVD volume or CD or something.
   10. Together Forever-10/10. Awesome song for a friend.
   11. Misty's Song-9.5/10. I'm not a Misty/Ash shipper but this is a good song. I heard it first in the Pokemon Live show.
   12. Pokerap-9/10.
   13. You Can Do It If You Really Try-7/10. Not too shabby.
   
   Overall an excellent,pokemon-centric album for all fans. ;)

5 comments about Pokemon: The First Movie.

1. Back when the movie came out, I was a gushy preteen who was, like everyone else, obsessed over the Pokemon fad. I got this CD from a friend (I think I traded like 60 pokemon cards to get it, all Bulbasaurs and Caterpies, ha! We're stupid as kids, aren't we?) and fell in love with the songs. My favorites were, and still are, "Making My Way (Any Way That I Can)," "It Was You," and "Don't Say You Love Me."
   
   I'm not a fan of pop songs, especially TODAY's pop songs/singers, but this music got to me as a kid and brings back good memories today as I still listen to it. Wonderful music, catchy, and terribly addictive. But there's only one problem.
   
   What do ANY of the songs have to do with POKEMON!?!?!?
   
   Let's take a look at the track listing:
   
   First up we have the Pokemon Theme performed by Billy Crawford. All right, that seems normal enough. A nice rendition of the Pokemon Theme to start off a Pokemon soundtrack (though I actually liked the version from the first season better, call me crazy).
   
   Number two is M2M's "Don't Say You Love Me." ... Well, last time I watched the movie (it's been awhile, correct me if I'm wrong), there didn't seem to be any sort of "love" theme that FITS this song. I get the whole brotherly love theme the movie throws out there at the end, but what does THAT have to do with a song about a guy moving too fast in a relationship? Looking at the music video, apparently the song is loosely tied to the fact that the couple in the song went to see the Pokemon movie and he made a move on her...? Not my idea of a great first date, going to a kid's movie, but ah, what do I know. Or maybe it's a song about Pokemon breeding. Sure.
   
   Number three is "It Was You" By Ashley Ballard, and is one of the few songs that I can actually see fitting the movie. Imagine Pikachu with a female voice singing to Ash. Or the other way around. Nice image there.
   
   Next up is "We're A Miracle" by Christina Aguilera. It was actually in the movie itself at the end, and it fits the theme well enough but would do better with someone else singing it. And a more upbeat tempo. I just don't picture Ash and Pikachu being all lovey to the tune of this song. They should have just stuck with "It Was You" and left this on off the listing and out of the movie altogether, it's less mushy. That goes for N'Sync's "Somewhere, Someday," too.
   
   Lumping a few together, we have Britney Spears with "Soda Pop," B*Witched with "Get Happy," Baby Spice's "Free Up Your Mind," 98 Degrees' "Fly With Me," and Aaron Carter's "Fun With The Funk." Maybe I'm missing something here, but these songs have NOTHING to do with the Pokemon movie, or Pokemon itself. But I'll be nice and give the benefit of the doubt; maybe "Soda Pop" is about Pokemon having a refreshing beverage (maybe it goes with the Pikachu's vacation mini-movie, like "Vacation" by Vitamin C does). And "Get Happy" could be about Team Rocket going to a party. "Free Up Your Mind" maybe goes along with psychic Pokemon, "Fly With Me" goes with Pidgeys and other flying Pokemon, and "Fun With The Funk" could be... forget it. They have nothing to do with Pokemon. Period.
   
   So let's look at what DOES work. "Pokemon Theme," "It Was You," "We're A Miracle (though I hate including this one)," "Lullaby (Jigglypuff!)," "Vacation (because of that boring mini-movie)," "Catch Me If You Can (this one actually has Pokemon in the lyrics!)," "If Only Tears Could Bring You Back (for the boo-hoo fest at the end of the movie)," and "Brother My Brother (from the movie itself, also for the boo-hoo fest at the end.) That's eight songs out of sixteen that actually have anything to do with Pokemon. Why hasn't anyone ever noticed this? Why does it matter? They're all great songs, for the most part, and because they're so nostalgic to me I'm compelled to give the album a 4-star rating, when really it only deserves a 3. Pokemon music should be about POKEMON, not guys feeling up girls in movie theaters and songs about soda. I hate loving this music.



2. What can i say? I love Pokemon!



3. Ok, I do remember back then my happy days on 1999 when I first saw this movie (at the cinema 2 times, at the TV like 4 times...) and I was dazzled, I wanted everything about it.
   Of course, mom and dad weren't (And are still not too much...) flattered with the Pokemon idea, so I fetched the Disk from a Friend.
   When I first heard it... ok, there's the Pokemon theme song, good. M2M's "Dont' say you love me" is actually the coolest song from the disk and "Vacation" is quite refreshing. People should also listen carefully to the "Brother my Brother" lyrics (specially at this time *rolls eyes*). Then.... I came upon the Japanese version of the Movie (which I luv) and the Disk and I completely noticed that the rest of the songs where actually (and I knew it from the begining) C-R-A-P.
   Yes, that "c" word, since unfortunally, there in America they tend to... well yeah.. Americanize stuff, so they placed things like Britney Spears, N*Scync... blah blah blah.. and they made songs which are NOT part or even have to do with the movie (ok... I understand the title "soda pop" but... did Britney even nows what it actually does?)
   So, if you want to remember nolstalgia from that time, or you're just a cunning fan buy it or download the song clips at some webpages... if not GET THE JAPANESE VERSION and you'll see what I'm talking about.



4. This is a Pokemon CD(duh).Like the other Pokemon CDs,it has pop music.As it might make your ears bleed if you don't like pop music,and but few songs are actully about Pokemon,this is outstandingly awesome to me.
   Being...me...I couldn't care less what other people think negativly about me.Ya,I'm a pokemaniac,and I listen to pop music(well,really the only pop music I listen to are my 3 Pokemon CDs),so what?
   I baught this CD when it came out back in 1999,'bout 7 years ago.I was 4 years old.I loved Pokemon since it came out.And,8 years later,3 to 11,toddler to pre-teen,yada,yada,yada,I love it even more.Every day I listened to this CD.Untill it got lost.It got lost when I was 7 or 8.Since then,I was dying.Finally,I decided to buy a new one.Now,though,I hear it diffrently.When I was younger,I'd listen to just about anything.Now for some reason this CD is better.
   I love most of the songs.
   1.Pokemon Theme-This is the extended version of the one on 2BA Mater.But it's more pop-like then technopop-like.
   2.Don't Say You Love Me-The only reason they put this on the CD is because in the music video,these people are at one of those theaters where you watch it in your car,and they're watching the Pokemon The First Movie(which this is a soundtrack of (duh)).Nevertheless,this is my favorite song.
   3.It Was You-Hmm...I guess this is okay.
   4.We're a Miricle-They played this after the movie.Okay,the person singing this is really bad.I barely like this song.
   5.Soda Pop-Britney Spears?What were they thinking?!
   6.Somewhere,Someday-Average,I guess.Not my top 5,but...whatever.
   7.Get Happy-I LOVE THIS SONG!This is my second favorite.It's so cheerful,you can imagine.Awesome.Gotta listen to it 7 times a day.If not,more.
   8.(Hey You)Free Up Your Mind-this is one of the songs played after this movie.It's pretty good,would be better if it wasn't mostly "free up your mind" over and over.If you hear the whole song,you'll see what I mean.
   9.Fly With Me-Okay.umm...that's all I can think of.
   10.Lullaby-o_0...I like this.
   11.Vacation-this is the extended version of it played on Pikachus' Vacation.
   12.Makin' My Way (Anyway That I Can)-Average.(I'm running out of things to say!)
   13.Catch Me If You Can-Extended version of the one played on Pikachus' Vacation.I don't really even know myself if I like this better or not.
   14.(Have Some)Fun With The Funk-Really?Serosly?AARON CARTER?!?!Sounds like a girl.Begging of the song isn't...very good,but the rest is Okay.
   15.If Only Tears Could Bring You Back-I really like this song.Played after the movie.Sounds like a love song.Is,most likely.
   16.Brother,My Brother-Really inspiering.I put my own words with some of the ones from this,and...well,It would take me an Hour to explain all of it.Sorry.
   Okay,sorry,I forgot to put who sung the songs.You can just check above the page,on the sampler thing.If I messed anything up,it's because I typed all the from heart(I memoriezed all the songs).I'm trying to make it sound like I'm not sexist,but I reccomend girls get this.Mostly girls sing,then the rest are boy bands.But boys can get it if they want to.Who's stopping them?
   Well(whew),that review was longer than expected.I wanna be a writer when I'm older.I rock at that(heheh)....did I forget anything...?I'll put it down in another review.
   Awesome.Highly reccomended.
   ...why aren't da indentations working?



5. Although some of the songs may not be as heavily-based around Pokémon itself as they are in the 2.B. A Master CD, the songs on this CD are still pretty catchy to any Pokémon trainers out there. The CD also comes with an awesome poster for the first movie; a must have for any Pokémon master.

5 comments about Pokemon 2000 Power of One.

1. Every song on this CD is great for anyone who loves Pokémon and understands how awesome the games are.



2. I'll review each track:
   
   1. Power of One - First track to use the word "one" in its name. Utterly slow. Hey Donna Summer, what happened to disco? 2/10
   
   2. Dreams - Utterly slow. Hey Alysha, you're two years older than me. 1/10
   
   3. They Don't Understand - Utterly bad. Just so you know, Dream Street is broken up. Thus, no more of their whiny songs like this. 1/10
   
   4. Wonderland - Utterly bad and slow. Hey Angela Via, wrong movie soundtrack. 0/10
   
   5. With All Your Heart - Utterly slow. One of the last ever boy bands. When 2001 ended, boy bands died. 1/10
   
   6. So generic, I don't feel like typing in its name. 0/10
   
   7. Flying Without Wings - Utterly slow. If you want Irish bands, check out the Dropkick Murphys, Flogging Molly and the Tossers instead. 1/10
   
   8. Pokemon World - Utterly bad. If you're a fan of Youngstown and Nobody's Angel.. you'll still hate this. 0/10
   
   9. Blah Blah Blah - Utterly okay. Who the hell are these people? 4/10
   
   10. Polkamon - Utterly AWESOME! 8/10
   
   11. The Chosen One - Utterly AWESOMER! Also, second track to use the word "one" in its name. 10/10
   
   12. One Heart - Third track to use the word "one" in its title. 0/10
   
   13. One - No, I'm not kidding about this. Its name is "one". 0/10
   
   14. Comin' To - Wow, actual beats. 5/10
   
   15. No. 1/10
   
   16. Legend - Good. 7/10
   
   Grade: 41/160: F-
   
   If you purchase this album, remember to keep tracks 1, 2, 4, 6 and 13 VERY seperated, otherwise, you'll never them them apart. Same for 5, 7, and 14.



3. My Pokemon-obsessed ten year-old borrowed this CD three times at the library. When the renewals were used up I decided to order it for his collection.
   
   What surprised me about this CD was that the whole family didn't mind listening to it over and over in the car. I have a short tolerance level for Pokemon. But this CD has some strong "power ballads", cute pop tunes and the very entertaining Weird Al Polka (everybody Polka mon-get it?) The song "Blah, Blah, Blah" humorously addresses all of the adults who don't understand the obsession.
   
   The production values are good too. Some children's CD's have second rate orchestrations, digital mastering, etc. This is a professional recording.



4. "Polkamon" by Weird Al is the only song I like on any Pokemon album. In fact, I think it is the only thing that has anything to do with Pokemon that I really care about anymore. Well, I'll be honest, the game isn't too bad, but the anime is laughably awful, and don't even get me started on the card game. But anyway, I would love Al to re-release "Polkamon" on some collection of rarities in the future. However, other than that, I can't stand the music on here at all. I used to own it, but I tossed it.



5. It has less top-notch songs compared with the first CD (Pokemon: The First Movie).

5 comments about I Will Be with You.

1. A nice song from Sarah Brightman with Chris Thompson. Not a brilliant song, but easy on the ears. Sarah fans will enjoy it a lot.
   Track 02 is an instrumental version.



2. Since other reviewers have gone into detail about the single itself, I'm going to skip that and compare this version with the version that we find on Symphony (the actual album). In this release, Sarah Brightman reunites with Chris Thompson (with whom she sang "How Can Heaven Love Me" on Fly). In the version of the song on Symphony, she sings it with Paul Stanley.
   
   While I thought it was really cool that Sarah sings with Paul Stanley, the novelty wore off and I found myself back to listening to this version. My gripes with the album version were that Paul's voice overpowers Sarah's voice at certain points and that, overall, there was an emotional disconnect between Paul and Sarah. On this version, however, Chris Thompson brings a rock feel without overpowering the song. His voice is smoother, more romantic, and softer in a good way. Plus, the two singers sing together more often than Sarah does with Paul on the album version. Where this version wins out is in the delivery. Chris and Sarah sound more believable as lovers singing a duet--the emotions are present here.
   
   If you like the song, this version is worth hunting down to hear Chris Thompson's interpretation.



3. This is the new song of Ms.Brightman and I have some mixing feelings:
   
   *Always nice music and very easy beatiful song.
   *The voice of Sarah B. is very childish and whispery in the versus, the chorus is ok.I don't Know if this childish voice bother me or not.it is too sweet.
   *Chris Thompson ,I like his voice.
   
   A sincer Fan.



4. Bought mine & received it from Amazon. I didn't hear any previews or full versions of it, prior to or after buying the CD because I didn't want to spoil the surprise. Ok, as for the artwork, the disc is housed in a standard Jewelcase with front & back inserts and a loose turquoise OBI strip. The four-sided front insert (booklet) features the song lyrics in Japanese and English. Inside the 'booklet' you'll see Sarah in the left, walking through the desert in her peekaboo dress complete with her breast-cage bra from the "Eden" era. This photo was taken at the time of the "La Luna" photoshoot and can be found in the tourbook from the same album. The front cover of the booklet features Sarah in one of her "La Luna" CD booklet photos with appropriate text/titling photoshopped on top of it.
   
   Because IWBWY is a new Sarah Brightman song, new artwork might have been taken into consideration. I like her new "GLAM" image and was kind of expecting something more like that, considering she made this duet with her rock-buddy Chris Thompson. The CD itself is simple. Silver disc with blue text/loop around the inside of the CD's edge.
   
   Sound quality, orchestrations and acoustic guitar are all great, but I'm not sure whether this song will remain on my ipod for long. Other fans are loving this new music quite a lot, and I guess I feel this way because Sarah does sing more in her lower range, exactly like on "What You Never Know", rather than using her trademark bel canto style. Chris Thompson's voice is strong as ever and I always wondered what had become of him since the "How Can Heaven Love Me' duet from Sarah's "Fly" CD. Because Sarah does sing in her lower range, she's nearly drowned out by Chris and the orchestration until she reaches her "I will be with you" part. Well, for the price of the CD, it's worth having because it is new music from Sarah, and it's a collector's item anyway. As for whether this track will show up on Sarah's upcoming CD, who cares? I'd rather be surprised by all new stuff, personal to the artist herself. I'm still anticipating the new album, but won't hold my breath regarding whether or not this track will be on it.

5. I just got this new CD Single of Sarah Brightman, and wow, the song is so amazing and the sound quality is incredible. I really can't compare Sarah's to Sissel's versions because both are wonderful.
   
   I'm a huge Sarah fan and I'm so glad to hear her new material. I can't wait for her new album. This single features the "movie version" of the song, so I believe there's gonna be a different version in her new album, can't wait! :D
   
   Hope you, those who buys this CD, will enjoy it as much as I did!

5 comments about Pokemon 3 The Ultimate Soundtrack (2001 Film).

1. I like that song to know the unkown by innosense thats a beautifull song the movie was great. I got the tape in 2001 a couple of days after the release this soundtrack was good to.



2. Most of the songs are from Tottaly Pokemon,except for a couple.
   ...basicly a waste of time and money.And the only reason why I'm giving this a 3 is because I like Tottaly Pokemon....but this is a rip-off....don't buy this.Unless you NEED those couple song...type things.



3. My son, who just turned 11, loves this CD, except the "mushy" parts. (but what do you expect). Was a soundtrack for his birthday party.



4. This is a pretty good album. I got it when I was only 13 and now years later I can still enjoy it. Sure, it's a re-release of Totally Pokémon, but at the time I couldn't find it and I found that the tracks were on this soundtrack. Basically this is Totally Pokémon V. 1.2, and if you don't already have Totally Pokémon this is definitley worth it.

   This CD features all the Pokémon Karaokemon tracks in their full version, the intro to Pokémon Johto Journeys, a remix that was in the movies (and is even better than the original), and some other tracks like the catchy Pokémon GS, and other songs such as He Drives Me Crazy, Biggest Part of my Life and others, as well as Karaoke versions of three of the Karaokemon tracks and To Know the Unknown, the ending sequence of the third movie. If you don't mind Pokémon-themed music, this is definitley a good CD and I'd recommend it.




5. This was a pretty good CD. I believe that it did very well and I absolutely do not concur with the concurrence that KOCH records is very bad at making compilations. This was a great cd. Instant favorites on this CD was 6 and 11, all the others that came in eventually, was 1,3,and 7. Very good CD. I really enjoyed it, and you (and/or your kids...) should too!

5 comments about Pokemon: The First Movie (Original Motion Picture Score).

1. Music is commonly overlooked in most movies, but Pokémon's First shows that there is more to music than you might expect. So much so, that there are two separate soundtracks to Pokémon: The First Movie. The music on this soundtrack is purely orchestral, and is so great sometimes it's hard to think this music was playing throughout the movie. On its own, this soundtrack shines; together, it makes a great movie.



2. This CD gives what you want, and more. It comes with all of the main themes of the movie, (Mewtwo's theme becomes even more evident when you don't have to look and listen to characters) and even some music which you can't hear due to voices and sound effects.
   
   The orchestration is brilliant. And the sound quality is so good you can practically pick out each individual instrument from the smush and identify it. (no it's not all synthesised! If you listen to the DVD the producers even say that first they put it on a computer program which imitates an orchestra, THEN they actually get a real orchestra to perform it in the studio!)
   
   It even comes with the music from the mini movie which is a bonus cos I love the music on Pikachu's Vacation, even though it is corny.
   
   I'd get it even if I weren't a major Mewtwo worshipper. I just love the orchestral soundtracks! *waits for nonexistant third movie soundtrack* ^-^



3. I have this Cd and it's hard to belive that this wonderful music didn't win any awards. Whats wrong with them just because it was made by the people from pokemon doesn't mean they don't work. It's like a priceless gem. If your a music fan or a pokemon fan or anyone I recomend this.



4. How does this soundtrack deserve one star you ask? It's complex, but it is entire justified, seeing as Pokemon's popularity has died dramatically. This CD is one of the reasons why.

   When Pokemon The First Movie came out, I had high hopes. This was the movie that would make or break Pokemon. Unfortunately, due to ridiculous script changes, bad voice acting, and a completely (and unreasonable) new soundtrack, the movie was ruined. So was Pokemon. The original score was dark, beautiful, and exciting. This one... well wasn't much of anything. I don't think people today understand how vital a soundtrack is to a movie. By removing the original soundtrack, they have removed any character and depth that the movie contained and replaced it with the blandness and superficiality of a "Batman" cartoon.

   I honestly don't understand the reviews here. The music is bland and unexciting. And I certainly don't see in any way how this soundtrack is a lick better than the original Japanese soundtrack ("Birth of" CD Boxset, do try it!) One only needs to listen to the actual soundtrack found on that boxset, and realize how much better it is than this contrived junk.

   The truth of the matter is, WB thought they could save a few bucks and pay one of their "Justice League" or "Jackie Chan Adventures" (one of those poorly rated and failed WB shows) synthesizers to conjure up some sort of soundtrack to fill in 70 minutes of movie time. Such filthy treatment of a franchise that had been so good to them is deplorable. Because the WB didn't take care of Pokemon, it went downhill.

   Let it be known that the WB ruined Pokemon by being cheap, ineffective, and by robbing Pokemon of the premises that made it great, such as original music, script, and decent voice acting. 4Kids had the right idea to stick to as close to the Japanese as possible, but when WB came into the picture, the WB toiled and tampered with Pokemon making it more Americanized and contrived, and thus, the WB ruined the franchise. This CD is one of the factors, and the damage that it has caused is why this CD fails as a Pokemon product.




5. I brought this cd because I love Pokemon the first movie and I think it has some wonderful music. My favorite track is by far Mew's Theme, even if it is only 30 seconds long. Mew is my favorite Pokemon and the song is very cute. If your a fan of the first Pokemon movie, this cd is a must.
