Le mythe

Les chansons de Bardot sont plus restees dans la memoire collective francaise que ses films, alors entrons dans le mythe. Cette compilation est surement la plus esthetique (le livret de 30 pages est superbe) a defaut d'etre la plus complete (il manque "Je t'aime moi mon plus"). On y trouve l'immanquable "La Madrague", surement la plus belle chanson de BB, et quelques perles aigres-douces comme l'enjoue "Noir et blanc" ou les melancoliques "Un jour comme un autre" et "Je reviendrai toujours vers toi". Une petite moitie des chansons de cette compilation a ete ecrite par Jean-Max Riviere, celui a peut-etre le mieux compris ce que l'on pouvait faire avec ce phrase inimitable et cette prononciation parfaite.

Just the best....

This CD really covers a lot of good ground. Very gay songs all of them, even though BB's voice adds a lot of sultriness at times, she's still very playful. The actress in her comes out well in these songs. She sounds so young...

The music itself is even entertaining, skipping that BB sings it. Upbeet numbers, more "loungy" than the new "lounge" music out there- this stuff is the real deal with as much substance as that style can possibly have. This is jsut a plain all-around entertaining CD!

This item is actually also little hardcover book in french about BB; about 15 pages long with a significant amount of text- loads of pictures that span her career and "looks."

I bought it for the "Camp" to it but was wrong; it's actually just plain good! While it's a good party album, it's also good to actually listen to. March 11, 2004

Une chanteuse superbe!!!

Vous ne serez pas decu, Bardot a une voix tellement sensuelle et seduisante comme la BB qui on connait tres bien. Avant l'annee derniere je n'avait aucune idee que elle chant....je dois avouer c'est seulement par hasard que j'ai decouvri ce album dans un magasin.Par curiosite je l'ai achete....et vraiment je n'ai pas decu.

Incredible Photos! (oh yeah, and some music too...)

A "luxurious" package indeed. This book-style CD release is well worth the price for the photos alone... many pages of lovely full color portraits of B.B. from all phases of her career and in various stages of undress... The music is basically vintage French bubblegum pop/bossa/loungey stuff... there's even a duet with Serge Gainsbourg (no photos of him included). Her voice is actually quite pleasant, and all the songs are sung in sultry French, "la langue d'amour"... do you really need another reason to buy this? Brigitte, Toujours Brigitte!
