Mamma Mia!

First off, I am 16 years old and before seeing the movie Mamma Mia, was not familiar with any of ABBA's songs except for Mamma Mia and Dancing Queen. I loved everything about the film from start to finish: the cast, setting, plot, and, of course, the catchy songs that can make 40 year old men want to sing along! I immediately went home and bought the whole CD, listening to it repeatedly. I adore each and every song, and the whole CD deserves to be purchased, not just certain songs. Amanda Seyfried, who is virtually unknown except for Mean Girls, has a simply beautiful voice. Although in interviews she said that she does not plan on pursuing a career in singing, I believe that she would be very successful if she did. I loved every single song she sang on the album, and am stunned that "The Name of the Game" was omitted from the movie. Meryl Streep proved that she can really do anything. Her voice is amazing. Anyone who says otherwise is just wrong. She brings so much emotion to the piece "The Winner Takes it All." It's simply breathtaking. Contradicting many other reviews, I thought all three men (Pierce Brosnan, Colin Firth, and Stellan Skarsgard) have wonderful voices. People keep saying that Pierce sounds horrible, but I don't know how they are making that assertion. He sings "SOS" and "When All is Said and Done" terrifically, in my opinion. Finally, Christine Baranski and Julie Walters harmonized perfectly with Meryl Streep in songs like "Super Trouper" and "Dancing Queen." Christine Baranski nails "Does Your Mother Know" and Julie Walters hits home with "Take a Chance on Me." My Favorite songs from the album: Honey, Honey Mamma Mia Dancing Queen The Name of the Game Slipping Through my Fingers (although not mentioned by many other reviewers, this has to be in my top 3 favorites. The song is really sad and moving, especially in the film--and the segment where Meryl and Amanda harmonize is outstanding) Does Your Mother Know SOS (LOVE IT) The Winner Takes it All I Have a Dream Thank You for the Music (perfect completion to the album)

This soundtrack is not any worse than the original Mamma mia by ABBA. I love to hear these actors singing, especially Meryl Streep she's wonderful. Most of the songs are sung by Meryl and then also Amanda Seyfried, she's got a great voice aswell. This was such a wonderful movie, and the music is what makes it so entertaining and enjoyable, so I wouldn't hesitate about buying this album. I'm not disappointed at all except that a couple of the little things the actors added in the movie aren't on the soundtrack (talking or laughing isn't recorded). Also, "Chiquitita", "I Do, I Do, I Do, I Do, I Do", and "Waterloo" aren't on the soundtrack which is very disappointing. And everyone says Peirce Brosnan can't sing but I don't agree. I think he can sing for sure, at least he's on pitch and can land a note. I would suggest seeing the movie before buying this album, if you're unsure of how much a fan you are. It's also better to listen to the music after you've seen the movie cause you can appreciate it more, and imagine the scenes in your head while you listen. I LOVE THIS MOVIE AND SOUNDTRACK!

Love this! Its so fun to sing along. I lost one and replaced it.

This was such a great group of songs and I loved the era and movie

We love to play this in the car when we go on trips. Very fun & upbeat.

More than seven years after it opened on Broadway, the recent tidal wave of stage-to-screen musical adaptations finally launched the film version of the hugely popular "Mamma Mia!". The largely enjoyable movie, starring Meryl Streep, brings the fun of ABBA's musical to the big screen. While a few songs from the stage version are dropped, the best songs, sung by the actors themselves, were included in the film. All do an admirable job, with the exception of Pierce Brosnan - who, while a good actor & easy on the eyes, simply has a terrible "fingernails-on-the-chalkboard" voice. I love ABBA's music. The originals bring back great childhood memories, while the cast cd is almost equally as fun. The film soundtrack, though not on par with its predecessors, remains enjoyable. You may just want to skip the couple of tracks "sung" by Mr. Brosnan. Best tracks: Mamma Mia Dancing Queen Gimme Gimme Gimme (A Man After Midnight) Voulez Vous

Good

I work as a 'guest teacher'. Last week, I worked an assignment for 2 days (8 classes) teaching Chorus. Each class had a choice of 3 movies to pick from to watch. They all choose Mamma Mia! I didn't really pay much attention to the first 5 showing but after the 6th, I found myself actually watching the movie. By the 8th viewing, like my students, I was really getting into the songs and plot. During the weekend, I couldn't get the songs out of my head so I decided to purchase the Sound track from Amazon. All 18 songs downloaded onto my Kindle Fire, which is great, except I can't get the songs to transfer over the my Windows Media Play (Music) nor have I had any success in trying to figure out how to transfer the songs onto my MP3 players. I've purchased several MP3 format songs (singles) off of Amazon and have never encountered a problem. I guess it's different if you purchase an entire album. The entire album automatically downloaded, using Cloud, onto my Kindle. Because of this experience, I will NEVER purchase another album using the instant download feature. I will just buy whatever l CD I want, that way I can download songs onto my Music and MP3 player. Once done, I will import the music onto my cloud. Outside of this very annoying glitch, I am very happy with my purchase.

Muy bien tanto el vendedor como el transportista

Got it for a friend as a gift and she loved it! No complaints :)

Just superb. Have seen reviews winging about the original Abba tracks being better. Well if all you want is Abba then buy the originals, dont buy this! Sound quality here is superb (as were the originals). Feel good factor here is superb (as were the originals). This isnt better or worse than the originals, its just different. if you liked the film then this isnt one of those boring sound track albums with one or two tracks you have heard of and loads or background music waffle, its just great (Abba) from start to finish. If you dont particularly like Abba music and if you didnt like the film, this isnt for you. Otherwise, just buy it. You wont be disappointing.

Se escucha muy bien, llego muy rápido y muy protegido.

EXCELLENT ! CD vous y entendrez les 17 trames sonores du film, qui en passant était excellent lui aussi. Un joli clin d’œil au groupe de pop suédois ABBA. Je vous recommande ce CD ainsi que le film, car on est emporté sur les succès du groupe ABBA interprétés par les acteurs du film. Ce CD est sortie en 2008, sur étiquette Universal Music Canada. Bonne Écoute !
