Search - Various Artists :: Instant Star Greatest Hits

Disappointed

"The greatest hits album had alot of hype built up about it. And maybe thats whats caused me to be disappointed about the tracks on this. Most of these songs are from seasons 1 and 2. Which those albums had all the songs preformed by Alex, no issue there. But seasons 3 and ESPECIALLY 4 had songs on the album performed by other artists. Everything on the net lead the readers up to believe that alot of the songs on some of the soundtracks that weren't performed by Alexz would be on the greatest hits performed by her. I was really looking forwad to a cd with her singing Ultraviolet. When actually all we got was songs from 1 and 2 and one song from season 4 that didnt make it on the soundtrack for season 4. I know you're not supposed to believe everything you read online, but the put together of this greatest hits album was completely unoriginal. They just threw songs on from 1 and 2 and gave us 2 remixes and 1 song not found on sountrack 4. I'm sadly not going to buy this album, doesn't seem to be worth the money when I already have the 4 sountracks. But I will buy the Mp3 for 2 of the songs. All I can say is that I really hope they release another greatest hits with songs we didnt get from other soundtracks."

I like the remixes, Alexz's version of Perfect, I Just Wante

"I only gave this 4 stars because as much as I like the fact they had the stuff I listed in the title on there...



1. Temporary Insanity(Remix)-I liked the remix okay. I prefer the Liar Liar remix.

2. Liar Liar(Remix)-Normally not a big fan of remixed songs, it just depends, but I like this for some reason.

3. 24 Hours-already have this song on the Songs From Season 1 soundtrack ;)

4. Let Me Fall-same as above

5. Skin-same as above

6. How Strong Do You Think I Am-Songs From Season 2 soundtrack

7. There's Us-same as above

8. Anyone But You-same as above

9. White Lines-same as above

10. I Will Be The Flame-pretty cool it's the Jude/Karma battle version. :D

11. I Don't Know If I Should Stay-Songs From Season 3 soundtrack

12. Unraveling-problem is we've already got Tyler Kyte's version on the Songs From Season 3 soundtrack, and he doesn't even sing it on the show. I love love love this song. It's my favorite from season 3 and I love Alexz singing it. They should of put Alexz's version on this release since they already had Tyler sing on the Songs From Season 3.

13. Perfect-I love this song :D Alexz sings it beautifully. I'm happy we got Alexz's version on the Greatest Hits soundtrack.

14. I Just Wanted Your Love-wasn't on the Season 4 soundtrack, love the song, Alexz wrote this song and gave it to Instant Star because it didn't fit with the sound of the album she was working on.



I mostly bought this because I am a HUGE fan of Instant Star. I wasn't sure if I was going to get this or the Season 4 soundtrack after figuring out the whole Alexz not singing on some of her songs thing was going to continue from the season 3 soundtrack release. I went ahead and did though to flesh out/complete my collection. Hint hint Instant Star people, if you want to make more money off of the Instant Star fans and make them happy release Seasons 3 & 4 on DVD with as a special fan pack and have Alexz's versions of all the songs she sang on the show but didn't on the CDs...huh huh...good idea right?



The CD would be:

1. Just The Beginning

2. Love To Burn

3. Unraveling

4. Worth Waiting For

5. Darnkness 'Round The Sun

6. Ultraviolet

7. Live Like Music

8. The Music

9. Here We Go Again

10. I Still Love You"

Remixes are

"I'm usually not a big fan of remixes because I believe they kill the songs, but I really liked these remixes. Maybe I just liked it because it was Alexz Johnson. xD Anyways, all these songs are AMAZING!! Instant Star had great music with an amazing talented singer/song writer."
