Daniel O'Donnell - Showtime (DVD)

Not the usual Daniel O'Donnell type of thing

Advantages: If you love 60s music you will love this
Disadvantages: Well my husband would say "Daniel O'Donnell" but ...

Hang on dont pass by just because it is Daniel O'Donnell. If I tell you my Adult children even asked me what am I playing instead of their normal comment of "oh Mum turn that off and have some decent music on" and didnt tell me to turn it off you will have guessed that this is one of the better Deniel O'Dolnnell cds in fact I think it is his best. It is called the Jukebox Years and says it is 20 miore Blue Jeans Classics but I must admit that I remember different singing artist singing most of the records and you will probably remember a more modern singer singing them as most are now coming around again as my family knew most of them as I do.. This is my first CD review so I hope you will bear with me and be kind. In brackets is the artist I remember singing it. just thought you might want to know! 1. Hello Mary Lou ...

Daniel O' Donnell goes pop...

Advantages: Easily available
Disadvantages: May not appeal to non-fans

. That'll Be The Day Some of these songs I never liked to start with eg tracks 1, 6, 7 and 14 so I wasn't likely to enjoy them on this album. I like the rest of the tracks. However, "I'm A Believer", "Daydream Believer", "Sweet Caroline" and in particular "Come On Over To My Place" are my favourites. That last track is spoiled somewhat as it still reminds me of the old "Wimpy" advert but never mind. I love "Knock Three Times" but much like the others, I liked the originals as well. The album cover sees Donald in a rather fetching leather jacket, sitting in a mock 1950s American diner. The advert for this album had the same set up. Yes, it's Daniel O Donnell, and yes, it's not very original but music doesn't always have to be inspirational or ground-breaking. This will stir a few memories from people who grew up during those ...

Showtime, or NO time?

Advantages: Excellent rapping, as always, and Dream is brilliant
Disadvantages: It lacks the originality and excitement of his debut

addition to the package. The four songs are the tracks Dizzee had released at the time this came out, so they are his "biggest hits". The videos to Stand Up Tall and Jus' A Rascal aren't special, but I Luv U and Fix Up Look Sharp were probably the best songs on his first album, so this is an excellent introduction if you don't own that already. The videos are great too. To conclude then, I would say that if you have never heard his music before, I would probably recommend listening to Showtime first, bearing in mind that this is easier to get into, and that the DVD features three of the best songs from Boy In Da Corner anyway. If you like this, launch straight into Boy In Da Corner. And if you listen to Showtime after already hearing Boy In Da Corner, as I did, you are likely to be disappointed with this effort ...
