Advantages: Good fun for G&S fans
Disadvantages: Won't always play on my DVD player; not a huge choice of songs

...am a little obsessed with Gilbert and Sullivan, to say the least, and I received this for my last birthday, from an aunt. It is a standard karaoke DVD with selections from the Gilbert and Sullivan operas. The first problem I had with this DVD was that it refused to play on my DVD player. It plays the copyright warning very, very slowly, then refuses to go to the menu where you choose songs, and stops playing instead. I don't think that there's ...
...I put in works fine. However, this DVD does work on my laptop, so that's how I've been playing it (and I am told by a friend that it works fine on his DVD player, so I'm not sure if it's a fault with my disc). So, when I finally was able to get the DVD working, I was less than happy with the song choice available. There were several songs from The Mikado, as could be expected, but only one or two from HMS Pinafore, The Pirates of Penzance, Iolanthe, ... Read review

Advantages: No need for a karaoke machine; great tracks; easy use; family fun
Disadvantages: Minimalist graphics

...images and lyrics written into the normally unused "subchannel" portion of the tracks and these will only show up when played on a CDG player (such as a karaoke machine). The audio part of these tracks will play on any standard CD player. Karaoke machines tend to be pricey, and moreover I had no intention of dragging one with me on the plane back home for Christmas. So after a quick Google search I was thrilled to find a large selection of normal ...
...player. When I went into the store to browse through the surprisingly large selection, this one certainly caught my eye. At £7 this was also one of the cheapest DVDs - what an opportunity! The DVD has 20 tracks, which was about twice as much as most of the similarly priced DVDs in the rack. A lot of the tracks even I had heard of (I'm 19) such as Tom Jones' "It's Not Unusual" and of course The Beatles' "Yesterday". Other great songs include Roy ... Read review

Advantages: funny, ful of energy and the great timeless ABBA songs
Disadvantages: bit too silly in places, no really surprising plot turns

...elsewhere, but here in Prague Mamma Mia! has become a symbol of this summer, full of fun, dancing and singing, love, sun, friends, joy and happy ends. It was my first time that sitting in the cinema I would feel all the ppl there shared sth and created such a happy and cheerful atmosphere like this time when everybody sang along to the songs. Cast Meryl Streep - Donna Amanda Seyfried - Sophie Pierce Brosnan - Sam Colin Firth - Harry Stellan ...
...I think her performance of Mamma Mia! was the best song in the whole movie and the little show she gave with Christine Baranski and Julie Walters as The Dynamos was sheer fun, without any depth, but fun. As Streep herself said: "I'm really doing this to embarass my 20-sth-year-old children. The dancing will mortify them and they'll have to move to Alaska or some place like that." Streep's duet of The Winner Takes It All with Pierce Brosnan felt a ... Read review
