My New Favorite Album! (Be Prepared to Sing Along)
First off, I am 16 years old and before seeing the movie Mamma Mia, was not familiar with any of ABBA’s songs except for Mamma Mia and Dancing Queen. I loved everything about the film from start to finish: the cast, setting, plot, and, of course, the catchy songs that can make 40 year old men want to sing along! I immediately went home and bought the whole CD, listening to it repeatedly. I adore each and every song, and the whole CD deserves to be purchased, not just certain songs. Amanda Seyfried, who is virtually unknown except for Mean Girls, has a simply beautiful voice. Although in interviews she said that she does not plan on pursuing a career in singing, I believe that she would be very successful if she did. I loved every single song she sang on the album, and am stunned that “The Name of the Game” was omitted from the movie. Meryl Streep proved that she can really do anything. Her voice is amazing. Anyone who says otherwise is just wrong. She brings so much emotion to the piece “The Winner Takes it All.” It’s simply breathtaking. Contradicting many other reviews, I thought all three men (Pierce Brosnan, Colin Firth, and Stellan Skarsgard) have wonderful voices. People keep saying that Pierce sounds horrible, but I don’t know how they are making that assertion. He sings “SOS” and “When All is Said and Done” terrifically, in my opinion. Finally, Christine Baranski and Julie Walters harmonized perfectly with Meryl Streep in songs like “Super Trouper” and “Dancing Queen.” Christine Baranski nails “Does Your Mother Know” and Julie Walters hits home with “Take a Chance on Me.”
My Favorite songs from the album:
Honey, Honey
Mamma Mia
Dancing Queen
The Name of the Game
Slipping Through my Fingers (although not mentioned by many other reviewers, this has to be in my top 3 favorites. The song is really sad and moving, especially in the film–and the segment where Meryl and Amanda harmonize is outstanding)
Does Your Mother Know
SOS (LOVE IT)
The Winner Takes it All
I Have a Dream
Thank You for the Music (perfect completion to the album)

Loved this soundtrack
I saw the movie the day it opened. The cast had so much fun with the music. If you like Abba it’s icing on the cake.

Best cuts:
‘Mama Mia’–Meryl reverts to a giggly hormonal teenager.

‘Does You Mother Know’–Christine Baranski makes it a delightful middled-aged woman’s anthem.

‘Gimme! Gimme! Gimme! (a man after midnight)–Amanda Seyfried’s sweet voice gives it a naughty little twist. May just become the coming year’s signature bachelorette party song.

Downsides:

‘Waterloo’ isn’t included and should have been.

Poor Pierce Bronsan can’t sing.

The Real Deal
Was dragged to the cinema by my wife, thought this was just a soppy woman`s film. I was wrong, I really enjoyed it and some of the musical scenes were a joy, kept catching my self foot tapping on the floor. I thought ALL the cast sang well, the dance sequences were excellent. I have never seen a cinema audience so reluctant to leave after the film was finished. The encore at the end was great fun.
Now in the process of downloading the soundtrack – even if it is missing a couple of songs.

Thi reminded me of a couple of the old “There is no Business Like Show Business Era.
