Excellent Balance of all genres of music

I think this CD is hot and I am surprised most of the cuts are not getting airplay rotation. I really enjoyed the different contemporary genres of music. August 5, 2008

Nice bunch of tracks

I was encouraged to buy this by my daughter, who saw Paula Abdul's song and video on American Idol; she just wanted that track for her MP3 player, but I was quite happy to buy it for myself when I saw the amazing line up on the album. Joss Stone! Lucy Woodward! And yes, Paul Abdul, on whom I've had a crush for over 20 years. I'm also a fan of May McPhee, and was pleasantly surpriused by her duet with Eliot Yamin (of whom I was not a big fan during his tim on Idol). The other tracks, by artists I've never heard of before, are also nice additions, and all in all I like the entire album. This is touted as Volume 1 - I'm intrigued to see what Jackson comes up with next. July 21, 2008

Interesting Mix

By far the song that Paula Abdul sings, Dance Like There's No Tomorrow, is the best song on there in my opinion. The rest of the songs were a new and refreshing change to what I normally here. The Joss Stone song has become a fast favorite too. I like mix CDs like this because if offers variety and also a chance to explore what else each artist has accomplished. April 9, 2008
