Kevin Spacey - Beyond the Sea

Let's hear some real music!

Great soundtrack. There are songs that weren't in the movie on this CD. It's great... for the most part.

I really like the song "As Long As I'm Singing" and was looking forward to hearing Kevin Spacey's version - but they just used the version from the film, with him in a duet with the kid who plays the younger version of himself. I was very disappointed. Also, "Up The Lazy River" was the same version from the film, with the actress who plays his mother singing the main part, the young Bobby singing and conversing along with her. And what's worse, there is dialog from the film included. I was irritated because I was looking forward to hearing these two songs sung by Kevin Spacey.

I only got it because it used and was about $4.99. If you really want to get it, buy it used... that way, you won't feel gypped. August 12, 2008

Spacey can sing

This will be brief becuase, simply put, Kevin Spacey makes the movie by actually singing the hits rather than miming to some other talent.

IT was quite a surprise and is a wonderful sound track. Highly recommended. May 27, 2008

GREAT SONGS BY A GREAT ACTOR-SINGER !

Kevin Spacey has done a marvelous job singing the songs made popular by the late Bobby Darin...That he should sound somewhat like Darin should come as no surprise,inasmuchas these songs were recorded for a film in which Spacey portrays Darin..
Much has been said about how "this music"is different than the sort of drivel that is popular today..I would imagine this sort of warning is aimed at the MTV generation and/or the people who have no musical tastes and subject themselves to rap and other forms of musical offal...How sad it is to think that most young listeners are so devoid of any broad appreciation that they must be cautioned about how this music is old,and therefore different than the sort of drek that they are currently listening to...I wonder,do these same cretins have to be told that the music of Mozart is"old","different"and therefore unlike the rap garbage they usually listen to?
Which brings me to the few voices who say that rather than buy this album one should instead buy the original sides by Darin himself..Why not buy both?Most of Darin's catalouge consists of songs that were originally made famous by other artists...This is especially true of the pop tunes Darin borrowed from the likes of Frank Sinatra,when Darin had it in his mind to become a Sinatra-like lounge crooner..Should we avoid buying Darin's versions of these sides because not only did Darin borrow the songs and the singing style from Sinatra,but made an effort to sound like Sinatra as well?
This album is an homage to Bobby Darin,in all of his many guises...Kevin Spacy does a very good job on these sides,and deserves your attention... September 26, 2007

Shhhhhhhhhhhhh

This might be heresy, but Kevin Spacey is a better singer than Bobby Darin! May 25, 2007
