A Hundred Miles Or More
2 of 2 Yahoo! Users found this review helpfulPros: Soft and soulful
Cons: Nuttin'
Used to love Alison Krauss and The Union Station crazily, but it's been such a long time since "Lonely Run Both Ways" no see Alison. Put this CD in your player, and get ready to dive in to a pure space full of brilliant piano sound. The vocal of a legendary 20-time-Grammy Award-winning bluegrass/country singer is still really strong. Lots of collaborations, like "Missing You" ( duet with John Waite ), "How's The World Treating You ( duet with James Taylor ), "Whiskey Lullaby" ( duet with Brad Paisley ), "Lay Down Beside Me" ( duet with John Waite ), but I really prefer her solo performances. Just listen to "You Are Just Country Boy" or "Simple Love" and you'll see how beautiful and simple life turns out to be !!! ...

Taking the long way around
Pros: A nearly perfect country pop record
Cons: Nothing
After the 2003 problem with President G.Bush, being denied by radio stations, TV shows ... the hot trio has come back with their new album " Taking the long way ", which debuted at no1 on the Billboard hot 200 albums chart with more than 500k copies sold in its first week of release, and then stay there for another week. The music is still really strong, full of energy and the lyrics still concentrate on life, people, political problems ... Their 1st single " Not ready to make nice " has been named Song of the year, Record of the year, Best country performance by a duo or group with vocals at the 49th Grammy Awards. Moreover , " The long way around " - the 3rd single ranked at no20 on top songs of 2006 voted by Rolling Stones Magazine. I myself think that it's definitely the greatest album of the year. ...

Katharine McPhee
Pros: Sweet, catchy pop songs
Cons: Forgettable =))
I've waited long for American Idol runner-up Kat's debut album cause she definately has a brilliant voice. But it looks like her post-idol career has followed Britney, Jojo or sth like that. She recorded a pop-RnB album instead a Barbra Streisand kinda CD. And the cover shows a beautiful princess, who seems to be selling sth, and of course i don't mean music ;))
Hot tracks : Over It, Home, Love Story, Each Other, Open Toes ... ... -

Daughtry
8 of 9 Yahoo! Users found this review helpfulPros: Catchy songs
Cons: Nothing new
Not crowned American Idol Season, only ending up at no4 spot, but Daughtry seems to be a potential rockstar out of the top 12. More than 6 months after the finale, he has already released his debut album with his band Daughtry. The album sold more than 300 .000 copies in its first week, and has been certified Gold so far. Alternative songs in this album, especially the lead single " It's not over ", remind me of Nickelback's music. A good choice for those who love " All the right reasons ". ...

Andrea 's latest album " amore " moves all the way up the charts a couple of months ago. People always love him . Even though he's blind , we can see that he expresses his beautiful soul and mind through opera-pop songs .
Hot track : Because we believe . ... -

KT Tunstall
Pros: Folk and acoustic songs make you feel good
Cons: Really really ... strange !
After Katherine Mcphee's performance of " Black horse and the cherry tree ", KT's song becomes a big hit . It has reached the top spot of the Billboard adult contemporary tracks. The song is like a breath of fresh air to ones who are tired of pop / rock / dance songs . The album was certified gold in the US . ...

Best drama / comedy of 2006
Pros: Strong acting
Cons: Nothing
Luv this movie so much, especially Meryl Streep's wonderful Academy Award-nominated performance. "It takes a legend to play a legend". Emily Blunt is also my favourite, "she has many of the movie's best lines and steals nearly every scene she's in". Costumes are extremely glamorous. The soundtrack ? " Oh, that wasn't a question !!! " =)) ...
