| Not as good as Tennant | Matt Smith is a strange guy, which I think may be a prerequisite for playing the Doctor. I've really enjoyed Season 5 and the Christmas episode but so far he isn't half the Doctor that David Tennant was. Now, with that being said, this season is my second favorite season of Doctor Who, right after series 2 and I have a feeling that series 6 will blow it out of the water. Steven Moffat has shown that he is a tremendously talented writer and has done a really great job with long plot threads and keeping things together. The twist to the episodes with the Weeping Angels (revealed many episodes later) was great to see, and I have been happy to see more of River Song. All in all it is a fantastic season. |

| A Wonderful Resource for Beginning Storytellers | "Storytelling: Art & Technique" is an excellent book for anybody interested in becoming a storyteller. It begins with the history, purpose, and value of storytelling. The chapters on selecting and preparing a story are very helpful. Also included is information on storytelling to different audiences, from children with special needs to young adults. At the end are thirteen delightful stories to tell. Each story contains the source, culture, telling time, audience, and notes on telling. I found this chapter as well as the appendix full of sources to be incredibly valuable! Although this book can be a little dry in places, it is an outstanding resource for storytellers, especially those just starting out! |

| Sadly, a very poor performance by Groban | I was extremely excited when the "Live at the Greek" concert DVD went on sale in Christmas. With all the pre-release reviews (like the one above) from rabid fans I was sure this one would be yet another beautiful recording by Josh Groban. To my great shock and disappointment, Josh Groban's voice was very poor, very nasaly and he looked less so different. The once gorgeous looking and gorgeous sounding guy is sadly no more. His stage presence is uncomfortable because he knew his voice wasn't up to par. Not even close. Too bad for Groban. I can tell that even here on Amazon his sales record isn't even close to bottom. I returned mine. |

| Joe shows how a Megamix is really done | This new one from Joe fuses all the top house hits into one continuous mix on this cd. From track 1 to 18 you will be jamming non-stop.......just make sure you have a system to keep up with the sounds. I am not a big hosue fan but I liek some of it and this cd does it and then some. If you are a house fan you should get this....or if you justlike some good hosue or something new in dance music......then you need to check this one out.Get it! |

| Just my Opinion | I think "Live at the Greek" had great potential. The potential to be as terrific as anything Josh Groban has done before. Unfortunately for me I can hear the vocal issues (strain, nasal sound) on some songs that others have noted. There's just no true comparison to the wonderful vocals he has done in his three other CD's. This isn't his best work or even "Closer" to his best. |

| WHY?!?!? | why why why did you sell out blink 182? you were so cool in earlier albums such as chesire cat and buddha. Now you've completely lost your little punk-rockishness and have become pop. WHY?!? Don't buy this album unless you like pop. If your a diehard blink 182 fan then download it somewhere. Dont waste your money. This CD is over-editted and only has 2 or 3 decent songs. Please go back to making real punk rock Blink 182. Stop trying to pass off this ...(stuff) as punk. No punk fan should buy this. |

| A Beautiful Book | An idea that is elegant, simple, and powerful is a beautiful idea. That is why I think this is a beautiful book. It is elegant in its ideas and the way these ideas are presented. It is easy to read and understand with very simple math. Yet, the insights and conclusions of the book are very powerful and very interesting.The book studies how agents behave and interact in social systems. It studies what strategies those agents might adopt and what strategies are most beneficial to the agent and to the whole social system. The results are very interesting. Another major question the book tackles is whether or not the strategy of cooperation can evolve in a social system where the majority of agents don't cooperate. The results are very interesting.I strongly recommend this book. |

| This 'Thing' is good! | There's not much good horror/thriller films today but I find this 'Thing' good for my collection. I haven't seen the original 'Thing' but this movie gives you an idea what's with the original.I say this is just good because there was too much talk at first. I hate chats. (lol) Anyway, this movie did the job for me, it scared my kids with those blood-sucking, human killing 'things'. A good movie to kill your spare time. |

| Lively disc of bluegrass legends and stars | Originally taped live at the legendary Ryman Auditorium, this celebration of Bluegrass' legends and current stars has been a staple of PBS fundraising nights all across the country. Now available on both CD and DVD, the program captures highlights from bluegrass founders Earl Scruggs and Ralph Stanley, legendary players Ricky Skaggs, Vince Gill and Alison Krauss, and country stars like Patty.The program provides a good introduction to the riches of Bluegrass, including the hot-picking of Kentucky Thunder and Earl Scruggs, Ralph Stanley's bone-chilling a capella "O Death," and the generational interconnection of standards like Bill Monroe's "Uncle Pen." The DVD edition adds three tracks to the CD: Earl Scruggs' "Passin' Through," Ralph Stanley's "Rocky Island," and a group finale of "Little Maggie." |

| DISCS WONT PLAY...ROUND TWO! | My mother and I are major whovians. LOVE the show! Love Eccelson, Tennant and Smith equally but for different reasons. IT IS MAGIC!! So when I ordered the sixth series for my mom on Bluray, she loved it so much I also ordered the fifth series for her...But the discs don't play! She has all of the newest updates and firmware, and a very nice player (samsung model bd6500). We returned the set, and had to buy a new one (this time order fullfilled by amazon). One week later, same problem! The discs are supposed to play in the USA right?? It says region 1, her player doesn't seem to be the issue because the sixth series plays PERFECTLY! Anyone else have this problem? I guess we're returning it again, much to our dismay... |

| Apple ipod 2G | Hi,I ordered this ipod shuffle 1GB silver(2nd generation) along with an arm band as a gift to one of my friends. The ipod was fine but it had few scratches on it. I was totally shocked after noticing those scratches as this is a new one(not refurbished) and felt embrassed as I already gave this to the person as a gift. She would think I bought her a refurbished ipod to her but it happens to be a new one and paid the price of a new one. Totally disappointed with the product. I ordered for a new product with full price and got a refurb one with scratches on it. Hope this review is helpful. |

| Josh Groban goes NASAL at the Greek | I don't put much weight on reviews, especially when they're written BEFORE the DVD/CD is even sold, or they're based on one's attendance at a concert. My review is based on actually buying and playing the "Greek" DVD. What's so badly done is Josh Groban's singing which was nasal, strained, poor. Since there's more than 200 reviews here and a majority of them note that fact, I feel justified in adding mine here. I bought it, I'll return it. I'm doubtful I'll buy anything else by Groban. It looks like he's decided on a style and it doesn't suit me. I actually like to hear singers! |

| Blink 182 is Back(street)? | After the initial Enema dissapointment, I decided to give these popsters another try. It turned out to be a waste. The songs have a softer, more refined edge, and there are backup vocals in just the right places. Sounds good, right? No, this album is boring and trite. The songs are repitious, and the content was obviously selected to please the lowest common denominator of the human population. Just because this music is faster and there is more profanity than most pop, does not classify it as punk. |

| An evocative and touching story | I should start off by saying that I read this in its originalinstallments, "The Peace War" and "Marooned in Realtime."It's my understanding that this edition contains these twobooks, plus a short story linking them.Any way youread it, this ranks among Vinge's best work, capitalizingon the concept of "borrowing from the future" and showinghow technology can be diverted from its original purpose.I was especially struck by "Marooned in Realtime,"which tells the story of a woman left to struggle on herown while her companions "hibernate" across the eons. Thewoman's diary forms the centerpiece of the story, and isthe catalyst for some deep insights into the human capacityfor love and compassion -- and also for cruelty. |

| Groban wears out his welcome at the Greek | Maybe it's because our Public Television station is showing Josh Groban's concert AGAIN, begging for change AGAIN. Or perhaps it's because Groban is so miserable during this concert. Actually, it's both. I saw it the first time in December. We're getting cheap commercials for "Closer" and "Live at the Greek" during regular programming. While I loved and bought all of Josh Groban's prior records, the Greek just wore down my last nerve. Trying to get through it when his voice was congested took all my enthusiasm away. Groban has grown up and gone in a different direction. So have I. |

| Too few one star reviews | I was looking through the reviews of this album and noticed that there were too few one-star reviews. This band deserves 10,000 one-star reviews. Their little cocky attitudes and the fact that nobody in the band wrote the lyrics makes this pop garbage. It doesn't matter if it doesn't sound like Britney or Aguilera, they are just part of another faction of horrible pop. |

| stole my heart | like a cinderella tale told darkly in reverse, this riches-to-rags saga of this moroccan family thrown into prison exile for the crime of being related to the man who failed in his effort to overthrow the king works on many visceral levels; the book's charm and haunting beauty resides with the narrator; her aching soul, her powerful sense of observation, her near total recall, her steadfast attachment to survival through two decades of cruel punishment, lends this "as told to" biography a melodrama and tragedy without comparison. one tends to think what her life would have been otherwise had she not been imprisoned. one anti-caveat: don't let oprah's endorsement make you dismiss this book. malika oufkir's story will sear your heart, stamp your brain with her pain and enduring strength of character. |

| A good, thorough introduction to a complex field. | This is a good, thorough introduction to a complex and difficult subject matter. Dr. Mallory has assembled material from linguistics, archeology, and historical accounts to document the many aspects and issues in this hotly-contested area. While readers searching to fuel political programs will find little fodder here, serious students can trust both the majority of the details and the major conclusions of the author. He also follows the professional custom of summarizing major alternative interpretations when discussing issues still in dispute within the field.Undoubtedly, some will find the entire concept of Indo-European origins offensive; for them the best course might be to look elsewhere. This book is not about polemics, but about rational, careful scholarship; even if the very premise of Indo- European language were called into question, the historical and archeological detail would be fascinating. |

| A Bride For Donnigan | Donnigan is a lonely bachelor who's friends have decided to get rid of their loneliness and send for a wife, right out of a newspaper add. Donnigan struggles with what to do then finally decides to go for it. Kathleen has a terrible homelife in Ireland and when she hears about an opportunity to get away from a life of selling baked goods on the street, she decides at the last minute to take the ship to America and a promise of a husband and a nice place to live. The only set-back is she has a limp and will her new husband-to-be send her away once he see's it. This book was hard for me to put down once I started to read it. It is one of Janette Oke's best. |

| What Happened to Josh Groban? | I just played my "Live at the Greek" DVD yesteday and I couldn't believe how poor his voice was! I also had guests over and they commented on how his voice was nasal in some songs and just poor in one other. It was so disappointing that I took it out and played the first concert DVD. Very noticable indeed! With the first concert we heard the beautiful tones of Josh Groban's voice and everything he sang. I believe this is only the span of two years between concerts. Lucky for me I bought it at Sam's and can get a refund. This one is going back to the store. |

| Blah Blah Blah - Weak | This book has alot of text but weak on info. I quickly glazed over due to the fact that there was alot to wade through to find the nuggets of information.

| I'M HOPEFUL FOR JOSH | I'm hopeful that Josh Groban can recover his beautiful voice and make terrific music for years to come. I didn't like "Live at the Greek," because of his voice problems so I didn't buy it. I heard it during the PBS televised concert. For other CD's that I bought my reviews on another site were glowing with words like "wonderful, gorgeous, mezmerizing." I want to be able to write that again. I read some of the reviews and it hurts to agree. But there it is. Warner Brothers should never have released this DVD or should recall it since so many people who bought it are unhappy. |

| this is what happens when you lose sight of the music | First off, I am a blink fan but even Im not impressed with TOYPAJ. It reeks of some producer at MCA saying "Yeah thats the next TRL hit right there." "Stay toghether for the Kids and "Story of a lonely guy" are cases in point. It just feels like its been tampered with too much on a commercial level. I believe this band peaked on "Dude Ranch." It blows away EOTS and TOYPAJ. However "Cheshire Cat" is thier opus. Its raw,funny, unbridled, gritty and not TRL friendly. I still like Blink I just take smaller doses these days. I just hope they dont repeat themselves (TOYPAJ) and that they begin to write honest songs again ( the track "a new hope" off of Dude ranch is a fantastic example) or they might find themselves in the "Where are you now" bins in the next year. Of course up and coming bands will wet themselves to acquire Travis if that happens. |

| Disappointing Performance by Josh Groban at "Greek" | I got my DVD from Amazon.Com on 12/29. I've watched it four times and each times I just sit there thinking I'll find more to enjoy. Simply stated, I can't enjoy Josh Groban's singing in the Greek Theatre. The sound is very poor and Josh's voice, his only true talent, is not always good. Add to that the annoying lighting, and alternative style music and this is pretty much a disappointment. Groban sounds congested and like he's trying to sing from his nose in three songs. "Canto Alla Vita" which was so beautiful in his first concert is ripped apart here with a grating psychodelic introduction on the synthocizer by Groban. YUK. After about the first 30 minutes, Groban's voice seems to clear but gee, it's too little too late. |

| Madness and Sanity is Bio - Logical | That is to say there are logical means to schizophrenia, and nothing that confers to a physical disability. An amazing study of eleven families and the children who are hospitalized because of their "illness" (incidentally noted, they are all female patients). Dr. Laing and Dr. Esertons account of schizophrenia all points to the facts that this mental illness is not a physical impairment, but a distrust in a persons reality, through communication, through insecurity of beliefs and senses. Schizophrenics choose logically and intelligently under the confines of family life with the parents (who are more delussional than the patient). Although this book is primarily a psychological study, it reads like a novel. |

| Horrid! Run away as fast as you can! | Bottom line, buy the first Josh Groban DVD (originally shown on PBS). This new 'thing' is just plain BAD. I got uncomfortable watching it for Josh seems to be burning himself out. Its just too much: teetering on hysterical and a complete mess. Someone is pushing this young man too hard, perhaps it is Josh himself. |

| please, save your country-fried soul, and buy this | Here it is: This is the kind of music that feels like it always was inside of you, but you never knew where it was, until you turned off this highway down this tarchipped road and before you knew it, you were in the pines thinking of how your grandmother used to look smoking winston 100s in the kitchen of her trailer, which sat on a half acre of land not far from Swallow Falls, Maryland, and inside, there's the memory of the rumble of the Conrail trains that used rock on by, a rumble that's warm and sad and good all at once, and so you stop among those pines just to take a break and breath the air. |

| Not as great | Compared to the other stories, this was just not that great. The main character is still fearing her ex-hubby?? He's still violent and not YET in jail, did I miss something with the justice system?The story and plot were great, although all of these stories keep making me more and more hungry. I love the fact that she includes recipes to go along with her stories.This is just another one of the fluffy Diane Mott Davidson stories and I do love it, but it was a little laughable how "whimpy" the characters seemed to become in this story. |

| Inlcudes Lots of European Locations | Bryson covers lots of cities and interactions with locals; his encounter with Austrians in a pub makes for chilling reading. The book is four stars rather than 5 because the light style encourages reading but the lack of maps, photos, and other exhibits prevents a 5-star award. |

| Nothing Special... | I'll be honest...I never liked the single "Way Of Life" that Lil' Wayne released. I bought the album, being a fan of 400 Degreez, hoping that Wayne had something more to offer. Besides some tracks like "Look At Me" and "500 Degreez", I was not impressed. Lil' Wayne's strange voice and "keyboard beats" did not keep me captivated. I found myself skipping many tracks. I still pop it in for an occasional blast of some of the better songs (there are 21 and only 3 or 4 are worth listening to). If you're a hardcore Lil' Wayne fan who's grown accustomed to his sound, this is the album for you. For others, keep your distance. |

| Pure juggalo ninja style | I was looking for psychopathic records artists other that I.C.P. and Twiztid (not that I don't like them, but change is good). I got the Dark Lotus c.d. and a Psychopahtic Rydas c.d. and they're awsome (to say the least), but then I came across Jumpsteady. I remember him from the first joker's card and several other c.d.'s, so i decided to try out the Chaos Theory. It's a whole new style than the other Psychopathic artists. I like it - it's a fresh ninja juggalo sound. |

| Major Problems with Josh Groban's Greek | I can't believe it!! I got my order from Amazon yesterday, with a total of 5 copies of Live at the Greek (one for me and four for gifts). It's true!! Josh Groban sounds poor, strained and nasal in a few of his songs. All of it is getting returned to Amazon and I've never had to return anything to them in the past. I have to rush out and buy lousy gift cards. The major issue is his voice which leads to the fact that no one should be expected to buy this OR buy the excuses (a defective DVD???). IF the DVD was defective ALL of the songs would sound the same. This miserable excuse for music was released before Christmas for the shopping season. I didn't see it on PBS but I just trusted that Josh Groban's concert would be as great as the first. That trust has now been shattered. Never again!!! |

| Phenomenal. | Being a fan of these guys since the Blyss days, it is easy to say that I do and always will love them. No Name Face is just THAT album, the one that will change your life in some way. All of Jason Wade's songs are incredibly brilliant, but the 12 tracks on NNF tower above the rest, the highlights being Simon and Everything. I haven't gone a day in 4 and a half years without listening to NNF, and I encourage everyone out there to make it a regular part of their lives as well. You will laugh, cry, reflect, dream, and feel new with this album. Jason's incredible voice and words reach down into the deepest parts of your soul and pull all of your emotions, good and bad, to the surface, where you can clear your mind and free your spirit. This band is worth every second of your time and every cent in your wallet. I also recommend Stanley Climbfall, their second release, which is an amazing upbeat rock album. Look for their new self-titled CD on March 29, 2005. Peace. |

| Trust me... I'm the Doctor | I have been completely enjoying the Matt Smith Doctor. I have been a fan of Doctor Wwho since the Tom Baker days and I really love how the Matt Smith Doctor has been a return to some of the eccentricities of that era but truly shows the chutzpa of a 900 year old alien from a VERY highly advanced race. I must say I have also been very impressed with the scoring for the 11th Doctor's adventures. It truly adds to the excitement of the series. (I am REALLY enjoying the secodn Matt Smith season right now too!!) I would recommend this to anyone who enjoys good adventure... whether they know the Doctor or not. The Doctor is definately IN! |

| I'm a very disappointed fan | After anxiously awaiting the release of this DVD, I am so sorry to say I think it simply does not meet the very high standards of his previous work--the CDs or DVD. I saw him in concert in Atlanta and was very impressed with his live sound. In fact, I thought he sounded better live than recorded (which I thought was impossible.)I noticed two significant problems with Josh's voice: a fast vibrato and a nasal quality. Unlike other reviewers, I found the quality unaffected by my audio settings. Frankly, I think he needs a long rest and a better voice coach. He's been on the road for a long time and probably could use a break.Despite this, I have bought tickets to his next concert in Atlanta. I'm crossing my fingers that this DVD is just a blip for an otherwise exceptional performer. |

| simply supurb | when i first heard this about this cd, i was a bit "achey" to buyit. this cd actually is more punk than anything. it is an awsome cd and i recommend it to anyone. blink is (and always was) my favorite band and will be for years to come. I think the best songs on the cd are: WHAT WENT WRONG (SECRET), Lonely guy, Stay together for the kids, and Anthem Pt.2. ---just to add, the take off your pants and jacket tour was awsome. i cant wait to see them in concert again. GOOD BAND=GOOD MUSIC. |

| SELL OUTS! | Ok, Blink sold out with 'Enema of the State', but at least that had good lyrics! Practically every single song on this album is just about them trying to get girls. There's only one or two actually good songs on here. Blink even tries to play acoustic on the last track? I don't get what's up with that. This album just really s*cks. |

| Brita Water Pitcher | I have this Brita pitcher at home and now at my office as well. No more plastic bottles -- EVER!!! I also think the Brita filtered water tastes better than bottled water. |

| Support for getting your songs off the CD | Please pass this along to any other Sony DRM CD page on Amazon. I'm only aware of Van Zant and Celine Dion.I purchsed a licensed copy of a program called AnyDVD a while back. Running this program in the background makes the CD think it's in a regular CD player, and it will not try to install its root kit. It also strips any and all protection from the disk, so you can use Windows Media (or whatever ripping program you prefer) to safely put the songs onto your hard drive. You'll know that AnyDVD is running by the red fox head that appears in your system tray.To download the trial (21 days, full-featured), go to slysoft(dot)com. I don't represent the site or anything, but I'm a huge fan of their products. I'm a little leery of the fact that they're based in Antigua (and they have my credit card number :-\), but you don't have to give up any type of information to get the trial. Hope this helps. |

| This movie has no soul! | Technically this movie is a prequel but is essentially a remake in that the same ideas are explored.Unfortunately by trying to stick close to the original (itself a remake of an older movie), it comes across as a cheap knock off! Throw in some laughably bad CGI and you have yourself a movie that is easily forgotten...this actually put me to sleep! |

| Bizzare | As I watched this movie, my reaction went from "ok, this could still be ok" to "nah...doesn't do it for me". I know that this is supposed to be a "dark" comedy, but I totally found it to be disturbing and I disliked all of the characters. Kevin Spacey's acting is great, but his character totally going for his daughter's girlfriend made me sick. I am trying to understand that it can be a fantasy for this middle-aged, exhausted man to lust after a high school girl, but that is called rape usually. I think that in showing all the dysfunction in family life it is a sad commentary instead of something to be revered or laughed at.Don't waste your time with this movie. If you have never seen it before and want to get it out of curiosity, I beg you to not waste your time because it is not funny or interesting, but truly disturbing. |

| Lame attempt to cash in on a tragedy | As someone who was personally involved in this incident and who knows as much or more about it than most, this book was insulting. Much of its so called "factual information" is incorrect. The wild speculations made are laughable. Here are two people who just happened to be in Glenwood Springs in July 1994 thinking that gives them some kind of "direct connection" to the tragedy. What a joke. Beyond the incredible and obvious attempt to make money from a disaster, the production of the book is as amateurish as the writing. It looks like it was produced on an old photocopier. Please, don't waste your time and money on this junk. |

| Lava Buns | I replaced a very old lava buns. The new one is not quite as good, the velco strap is not as tight. Also when I took the consumer tag off the cushion seam ripped. It gets hot and stays hot but not as long as my old one did. |

| "Hanging By A Moment" is all they have got. | I am a 21 year old male and this is my take on this album. "Hanging By A Moment" could be in my top 10 songs of all time but that is all this album has to offer. When you listen to the other tracks it sounds like a completely different artist. I would have bet money that "Hanging By A Moment" was done by a completely different artist than the other 10 tracks. My advice is to not waste your money on this album. The other tracks are horrible. If whining and moaning is your type of music then you might like this album, but if you are buying it because you think that all the tracks are like track 1 then don't. |

| Not user friendly | All of the major adjustment controls (volume & radio station) are placed so far back that it's very hard to use. I hate the placement of the controls and the fact that it has no bass. Good for books on tape, but not music. I hate having to reach around it to find the volume and station dials. I always have to pull the whole thing toward me. Weak speakers. See how the speaker goes all the way 'round to the back? Well, the volume and the radio station controls are at the back of those speakers. Too far back!! |

| not what i expected | after reading the reviews on this product i felt as if it was worth a buy. when i recieved the product i placed the solution on a scar on my nose for a few minutes, within seconds after i washed it off the scar has turned complete black. Darker then it originally was including areas on my nose that where not dark. its really have left me very self conscious, and disappointed about how dark my scar looks after using this product. i have seen a dermatoligist and am now using a product to try to reverse the affect and bring my orginal pigmentation back to normal. i am African American with a dark skin tone, and this product did not work for me. |

| On Storm King Mountain: The Legacy...The Lesson | I feel that this book was not well prepared. The book is based on facts, but the authors jump back and forth between using the persons involved by first and last name, and if you have no idea about the Storm King Mountain Fire, then you have to learn the persons name (first and last), and then sometimes it was their rank on the fire that was used. The book also had many typing erros, i.e. spelling, and grammar. Overall the book covered most of the fire facts, but I would recommend another book to fulfill your interests in the fire on Storm King Mountain |

| The great kapok tree | I thought it was not a good book. I thought it was a 50% book and not a 100% book because it has a dumb reason to it. The reason is don't cut down the kapok tree. I mean it is just a tree. That is why I thought it was dumb. |

| Sick and Twisted | I should have read why some of the reviewers rated this book a one before I read it. This book just did not do it for me. I could not get past the sick mind of Arturo and cult-like following of his family and other characters in the book. A Great Disappointment!!! |

| Great product | For my 2 yr old who only eats peanut butter sandwiches and chicken fingers, this is great and he loves it. He takes it straight from a medicine cup. He will also drink it in his almond milk (alergic to dairy) with no problem. At least I know he is getting some good things in his body! |

| The band 'The Strokes' are trying to be. | While I don't mainly listen to punk, I still thought album was fun and very enjoyable. The singer isn't some ..., distorted [person], the guitarists actually play differnet chords, the bass is alive and well, and the drumming fits the music perfectly. I believe The Hives are out there just to have fun and enjoy the music they play, unlike 'The Vines' and 'The Strokes' ('The' must be the new trend in bands these days), who are obviously trying to bring back the full on punk assault of the 70's/early 80's and take all the credit for it. Definately a must listen for fans of REAL punk and rock & roll, and even for fans of metal. Hail to the Hives! |

| AMAZING!!! | Josh has done it again, I relived the summer concerts moment by moment !! His voice sounds magnificent, his stage presence and playfulness is so charming and engaging. The addition of Bela Fleck on banjo for Alla Luce Del Sol was genius, the drumming break was energizing, the passion in My December, Remember When It Rained and Never Let Go left me breathless, like I was sitting in the front row again. I treasure this DVD, it's the next step for Josh. The first PBS was the "introduction", this is "getting to know you better" and I cannot wait to see where this extraordinary young man takes us in the future. I will be there, no doubt in my mind! Just a note...some of the cds have sound problems on the first three cuts, so if you think he sounds pinched or nasal, the cd is defective...some have reported this, however mine is great, so it's a production problem apparently. |

| Complete Junk, get the John Carpenter version with Kurt Russell | Don't waste your time on this dumbed down teen version of a great classic movie, the original Black & White version was a masterpiece but not for everyone as it is dated and most of the action is actually off screen as it was impossible to do the special effects in those days.The 80's remake by John Carpenter was a sci-fi masterpiece, acting, casting,special effects, brilliant music score, and next to the chest-burster scene in the first Alien movie probably some of the scariest & original scenes ever shot. Carpenter's script is much closer to the book too, Carpenter is a bit like James Cameron, he knows how to tell a really good story as well as scare the bejesus out of us at the same time.This version is dreck, it looks like they took the Stepford cast from a Macy's clothing sale catalogue, pretty, but dumb as rocks with dialalogue to match. |

| Fun toy for infants (but expect to lose the balls) | This is such a cute toy. They're supposed to put the balls in the main bowl to get the octopus to activate. The balls get lost easily, but you can put any kind of soft, infant-friendly ball in it. They can press the button also to get the octopus to wiggle and giggle. Still works great after 3 years. My new baby loves it too! Precious. |

| Difficult to watch "Live at the Greek" | From the first minute to the last, "Live at the Greek" was difficult to watch. Just the opposite from "Josh Groban in Concert" Groban's first live concert. That one was done just two years ago, and it was so beautiful I couldn't take my eyes off it. So what's different now? Everything but most importantly Josh Groban is different. He looks, sounds and performs differently from anything I've seen him in before. None of this would be at issue if his voice were okay. It isn't. Without his beautiful voice, Josh Groban is just another dull entertainer. He doesn't have the glittering personality to hold the home crowd. I've been to live concerts and of course the experience is different from watching a DVD at home. I didn't buy the DVD either and I'm happy I didn't. Looks like many who did are not happy campers. |

| Not the Same Josh Groban! | This definitely isn't the same golden-voiced Josh Groban who was stunningly terrific in "Ally McBeal" and perfect in every public appearance on TV. This isn't the same Josh Groban who was perfectly beautiful in his first concert and "Closer." This Josh Groban sounds so bad that I had to send the "Greek" concert DVD and CD back to my online store. It's the first return for me and hopefully the last. From now on I'll be cautious and check out the performance before I buy. Josh Groban is growing older and obviously some things are changing with him. Too bad that it's his beautiful voice that's going downhill. |
