Olivia Newton-John-2(A PopEntertainment.com Music Review)

Posted on March 23, 2003 by popenterta • Leave a comment

Olivia Newton-John-2 (Festival/Mushroom) Lately in Europe, there have been several slightly-past-their-prime artists who have done all-duets projects to show that they still have some hipster cred. Probably the best of these was Tom Jones’ Reload, in which he proved he could get the kids like Barenaked Ladies, Robbie Williams, Natalie Imbruglia and the Pretenders on board, and … Continue reading →

Posted on March 9, 2003 by popenterta • Leave a comment

Elton John – Greatest Hits 1970-2002 (Mercury) From 1970 to 1977 Elton John had an almost unprecedented run of musical brilliance, during that time his work with lyricist Bernie Taupin rivaled the work of Lennon and McCartney and Brian Wilson. In this short bridge of time, John recorded about two very good albums a year … Continue reading →

Vanessa Paradis – Au Zenith (Barclay/Universal-France) In the United States, Vanessa Paradis is probably best known as Johnny Depp’s live-in girlfriend.

Shania Twain – Up! (A PopEntertainment.com Music Review)

Posted on March 2, 2003 by popenterta • Leave a comment

Shania Twain – Up! (Mercury) Never in my life have I seen so many exclamation points as there are in the song listing for Shania Twain’s latest. There are nineteen song titles on Up! and ten exclamation points. It’s almost like a teenaged girl’s diary. Now Shania has a long history of unwieldy titles anyway, and this album’s … Continue reading →

Axelle Red – Alive (Virgin-France) I might have never heard of Axelle Red if I weren’t channel surfing one August night last year in the Sofitel Méditerranée in Cannes. With my admittedly rudimentary skills in the French language, I was looking for something, frankly, which I could understand. That’s when I stumbled upon an hour-long interview … Continue reading →

George Dzundza – Finding Grace in Hack

Posted on February 26, 2003 by popenterta • Leave a comment

George Dzundza Finding Grace in Hack By Jay S. Jacobs You know the face. It is a tough-but-fair mug that has dissolved selflessly into well over seventy roles in a film and television career that has lasted about thirty years. You know the characters. He was Gus Moran, the good–hearted but protective partner of Michael Douglas’ self-destructive cop in Basic Instinct. He was … Continue reading →

Posted on February 22, 2003 by popenterta • Leave a comment

Rod Stewart – It Had To Be You: The Great American Songbook (J Records) With this album, Rod Stewart gives up any pretense of trying to hold onto his rock and soul following. And that’s fine, he’s well into his late 50s now and rock and roll is supposed to be a young man’s game. He really … Continue reading →
