 Feel-good fun! July 27, 2007
11 out of 14 found this review helpful
I saw this film one evening and it was such good fun that the very next day I went out and bought this soundtrack to it. After I had initially got it I wondered if I had wasted my money, as I was disappointed with how the songs translated onto CD. However after a few listens the CD is growing on me loads and it really is a CD to put on if you are feeling down- I defy anyone to retain that mood after listening to these tracks:
1.Good Morning Baltimore- A wonderful opener: better in the cinema though with the accompanying film. 8/10
2.The Nicest Kids In Town- Cheesy to the extreme. 7/10
3.It Takes Two-A good song. 7/10
4.Miss Baltimore Crabs- A delightfully evil song, but the singer isn't that strong unfortunately. 7/10
5.I Can Hear The Bells- My personal highlight! Wonderful! 10/10
6.Ladies Choice- There are so many innuendoes here! 7/10
7.The New Girl In Town- I like this song, squeeky and teenage! 8/10
8.Welcome To The 60s-My other fave song- upbeat and fabulous. 10/10
9.Run And Tell That-Brilliantly sung. 9/10
10.Big Blonde And Beautiful-Brilliant again! 9/10
11.Big Blonde And Beautiful (reprise)-Much poorer than track 10, but again fits in well in the film. Bad on CD. 4/10
12.(You're) Timeless To Me-Again sounds better in the cinema, but it does have a charm to it and it is hilarious. 7/10
13.I Know Where You've Been-Sung superbly by Queen Latifah and a serious song, which is unusual in this musical. 8/10
14.Without Love-Brilliant in the film, but equally good on CD. I particularly love the harmonies and a line growled by Penny. 9/10
15.(It's) Hairspray-A hilarious and comical song, but sounds only just OK on CD. 6/10
16.You Can't Stop The Beat-A powerful, upbeat song. 8/10
17.Come So Far(Got So Far To Go)-A strong song to finish, but not the strongest.7/10
18.Cooties- A strange song. 7/10
19.Mama, I'm A Big Girl Now-A fantastic song sung by all three Tracys. It is clear from this that Marissa and Nikki are the most talented singers with Ricki shouting or talking her way through the song. 9/10

'Hairspray' is THE film of an otherwise disappointing movie summer 2007, and this is a fabulous souvenir of it, chock full of infectious numbers to get any overweight mama dancing in the street.
Correcting what the Amazon review says above, both 'Cooties' and 'Mama I'm a Big Girl Now' DO appear in the film: they can both be heard in their entirety over the end titles.
5 stars is not enough! July 25, 2007

I have just returned from the cinema watching this film and the first thing I did was to order this soundtrack! The score is awesome, thesinging is AMAZING! Who'd have thought Christopher Walken could sing?
I recommend this CD to everyone in the entire world!
Now That's What You Call Music! July 21, 2007

Fantastic film - made fabulous by the superb music and the superb acting & dancing. Fabulous rock n roll music which will make sense once you've seen the film! I can honestly say this is the first film I've ever seen at the cinema, where people watching the film have actually stood up and started dancing! Why? Because of the music....
