Just one of those fun cds you pop in and make you feel good

"Coming off other hit soundtracks for movies like "Freaky Friday", "The Lizzie McGuire Movie", and "Cheetah Girls" the "Confessions of A Teenage Drama Queen" soundtrack is full of pop/rock ditties and uptempo dance melodies. This soundtrack is more for younger audiences but can appeal to older audiences also. The first track on the cd is the great Pop radio friendly song "That Girl(Drama Queen)" sung by the star of the movie Lindsay Lohan. Having an infectious pop/rock beat filled with guitar driven beats and keyboard inspired sounds. The second track, is probably one of my favorites by an upcoming pop singer named Cherie. She sings the song "Ready" where it sounds like she is following the footsteps of powerhouse diva Celine Dion. The song is pop infectious also with its catchy chorus with stays in your head--an earworm you might say. Other standout tracks include Lindsay Lohan's "What Are You Waiting For" which sounds like a preview sound of what is next for the future of Lindsay's upcoming pop career. Very solid pop/rock sounds of enlightened fun and happiness. Also, the heavy sweet vulnerable rocky pop ballad "Tomorrow" by Lillix, a nice acoustic version of the rock hit "Perfect" by Simple Plan, and another infectious ditty by Nikki Cleary called "1-2-3". The cd is very teen pop/rock friendly but lacks some substance when it comes to lyrical content. But still a great pop record to listen to. This may also be a preview of Lindsay Lohan's upcoming Pop singing career. I'd give this CD a B+"

"Simular to the Freaky Friday original soundtrack, this is a fun and hip soundtrack! This soundtrack is a perfect delightment, having some tracks from Lindsay Lohan, the star of Confessions of a Teenage Drama Queen. I was looking for the most of the songs that weren't in the soundtrack, though. Here are the songs that were featured in the movie, but didn't make it onto the soundtrack!

Those were the songs that didn't make onto the soundtrack. The album producers DID have enough space to add a couple more onto the CD, but just chose not to (why?). Anyways, great soundtrack to listen to and totally worth the listen.
1. Drama Queen (That Girl) - Lindsay Lohan 5/5
2. I'm Ready - Cherie 5/5
3. Ladies Night - Atomic Kitten 5/5
4. Perfect (Acoustic) - Simple Plan 4/5
5. Tomorrow - Lillix 5/5
6. What Are You Waiting For - Lindsay Lohan 5/5
7. Na Na - Superchick 5/5
8. 1-2-3 - Nikki Cleary 4/5
9. Don't Move On/Living for the City/Changes (Medley) - Lindsay Lohan 5/5
10. Boom - Fan 3 5/5

If you liked this, you probobly would like

Hope you enjoy!

A Very Good CD!!!!

"I am 11, and I love this cd!!! I admit, the movie was a bit on the cheesy side, but the cd is excellent. It has a whole mixture of pop, rock, and hip hop. It also has a variaty of singers that are somewhat alike, but somewhat different. If you want to make up a dance routine, or just dance, this is the cd you have been searching for. My 14 year old sister borrows it, my mom likes it, and all of my friends own it, and are listening to it constatly! In other words, this cd is great, and even if you are 51 or 2, you should buy this cd!"

"This is how I would rate the songs:
1. Drama Queen- 4/5 This is a good song, but I started to get tired of listening to it.
2. I'm Ready- 4/5 Good song, not my favorite.
3. Ladies Night- 3/5 I used to like this song, but it's a little retarded.
4. Perfect- 5/5 I love this song, but I like the regular version a little better.
5. Tomorrow- 5/5 I love this song! Lillix is an awesome band!
6. What are you waiting for- 3/5 an ok song, its sort of stupid, though.
7. Na Na- 5/5 I love this song!!!! It's awesome!!!!!!!
8. 1,2,3- 5/5 this song is good, but it is a little weird.
9. Don't move on/living for the city/changes medley- 1/5 why is this song even on the CD?!?!?
10. Boom- 2/5 an ok song, but it's pretty annoying.
11. A day in the life- 3/5 this song is dumb, but I sort of liked it.
12. The real me- 3/5 I thought this song was ok, but it was kinda stupid.
13. Un-Sweet 16- 2/5 I didn't really listen to this song, but it's ok.
14. Only in the movies- 2/5 I didn't really listen to this song either.
Buy this CD!!! I hope this helps!!! It's VERY close to 5 stars!"

"The "Confessions Of A Teenage Drama Queen" movie soundtrack is basically an all pop album, and the artists performing the songs are the latest soloists and groups around! If you're throwing a party, or just want something cool to listen to, THIS IS THE ALBUM TO BUY!"
