A great soundtrack for a great show!

This soundtrack contains the best choices in music that correspond with the TV show, Will & Grace. Songs such as "You're My Best Friend"-by Queen, "White Flag"-by Dido, and "World On Fire"-by Sarah McLachlan, really help to define the personality and the relationship between the show's charachters, Will, Grace, Jack & Karen. However, at the same time the show is very musical all in itself, featuring artists like Barry Manilow, Elton John and Cher. They too are woven into this CD, along with performances by the actual actors themselves. The CD ends on a wonderful note with a song written by Manilow and Eric McCormack, the actor who plays Will. The song is called "Living With Grace" and it is a beautiful ballad dedicated to the relationship between the show's main characters Will & Grace. The piano accompaniment works well with Eric McCormack's voice, making the song very heartfelt and memorable. My only complaint with the CD is Britney Spears who I am not a big fan of. And who would believe the voice of Megan Mullally, the actress who plays Karen. She can really sing! I recommend this for any Will & Grace fan. It's great music that goes along with a great show.

I didn't know Tom Jones was a gay icon...

A huge problem with this soundtrack is the fact that on Will & Grace, if we ever hear any music, it's for the briefest moment and to accept this as a collection of songs from the show is incorrect. And it doesn't jive.



This really is nothing more than a marketing scheme to once again sucker in crazy people who'd buy stupid compilations like these (IE: Queer as Folk). And these are stereotypical choices for tracks on a soundtrack for this show- a show about gay men, attempting to break certain stereotypes. My only ponder is- where's Boy George and George Michael? Honestly, we have Elton John and Freddy Mercury. And the ultra-gratuitous inclusion of Cher (why "Gypsies..." and not "Believe"?) and Gloria Gaynor. Who is this CD for? As a fan of this show, I can safely say it's not for me.



The worst thing about this compilation is that it's DEPRESSING! And rather lifeless. And I've seen the show. Where is Tone Loc's "Funky Cold Medina" and N'Sync's "Pop"? Not that this CD would be better with them... but at least it would be a more interesting buy. Though I must say the vocals from Eric McCormack and Megan Mullally are excellent.

It's Pretty Good

Well, of course I love the show. Who doesn't? The cd actually isn't half bad. "He's Hot" done by the cast is totally fab. I didn't like it at first, but the more you listen, the more it grows on you. "World on Fire" by the Great Sarah is a good one. The remix of Dido's "White Flag" is really cool and has come to be one of my favorites. "Living with Grace" is really sweet, and if you're not careful it could make you cry. And of course there are a lot of classics from Cher to Gloria. However, my only complaint is that "Oops I Did it Again" is the album version with the dialogue in the middle.
