Great Idea - Great Result!.......2006-09-07

*Review from Germany.*
At first I have to say: Most of the review written by my boyfriend, Carsten G. (gary_lapread22(at)yahoo.de), and a bit by myself (we take the one person form to write).
- My English ain't very good, but I hope you can understand it. -

I don't know what's the problem of some reviewer here. It's a really great album - a serious tribute to Phil Collins - covered by different artists. The songs come up to a new fresh style - produced by a few American and one German producer(s) - and sound so clear as they were almost made under observation of Phil Collins himself.
I've also read about that he would love these songs very much although they have different music-styles (mix of Hip-Hop & R'n'B) and are not typical for Phil Collins works.
I just can say this: It thrills every minute you hear it and it's never boring to listen to.

So I must give clear 5 stars! My favourites are: *In The Air Tonight* / Lil' Kim feat. Phil Collins, *I Don't Care Anymore* / Kelis, *Sussudio* / Ol' Dirty Bastards, *Something Happened On The Way To Heaven* / Deborah Cox ... and the whole rest of it.

That's what I have to tell!

Kind regards

A great album, not a tribute album.......2003-11-24

The idiot who wrote the stuff about why some of the lyrics were changed is pretty stupid. This isn't the typical tribute album. I mean if they were going to sing the songs exactly the way they were written then why bother resinging them. These artists wanted to create a new sound with the songs of Phil Collins. Can you get that through your thick skull. And the artists have succeeded in making these songs their own. Its kind of dumb to ask them to sing it the same way as phil anyways cuz they cant, they're not phil collins to begin with.

wow.......2003-08-19

the only good song on here is Deborah Cox version of something happened on the way to heaven and or course her voice is awesome like allways but if you like that song look for the dance remix its even better

Stick with the original..........2003-07-12

This album is okay but a lot of the songs don't really add anything new to the original. I don't mind tribute albums if they try to expand on original ideas and not just say "let's just R&B-ize the songs". When I listen to this album, I usually just end up wanting to play the Phil Collins albums instead.

Also, just out of curious, why does TQ change the lyrics in All of My Life to "Said Enough" instead of "Set 'em up"? Do these people not have the original lyrics? Well, I guess I did say I didn't like it when people were just derivative... ;)

You would not believe how awsome Debrah Cox pulls off "Something happened on the way to heaven". This is by far the best track on the album.

Oh wait.... it's NOT a joke?.......2005-10-27

Well, someone somewhere must be laughing. A hip-hop covers album. Of that most infulential of talents, that artist that speaks volumes to all the homies out there - he'll pop a cap in your ass, yo - straight from the mean streets of, er, Chiswick - it's Phil Collins.

As baffling an idea as it is, it's easily ten times as bad as you think it might be. Cue 15 tracks of idiots covering Phil Collins songs in their own "style" all for the glorious cause of, uh, well that was never quite explained. If there's any question of quality, there's always former boyband fodder Dane Bowers to give you that seal of absolutely no-talent.

Worst offenders have to be Brandy and Ray-Jay, her dimwitted tag-a-long brother murdering "Another Day In Paradise." Ah yes, nothing more refreshing than hip hop stars, who spend their entire CAREERS ramming how much money they have down our throats preaching to US to "think twice" about the poor people in the street. Yeah, it's SUCH a nusiance running them over in your "Benz", isn't it Brandy?

A terrible concept, a pitiful range of "talent" and a laughable excuse for music, there really is only one person laughing at this dire joke - and that's Phil Collins. Ker-chiiiiiiing.
