When you start buying and listening to Andre Rieu albums your time is up. Time for your relatives to have you "put down".
At the MoviesAt the Movies by Andre Rieu

Two "Claydermans" for the hairstyle and three "Claydermans" for the disc.

Milksop Ratpack wannabe.
Michael BubléMichael Bublé by Michael Bublé
Buy new: $9.99 / Used from: $4.35
Try to detect a sincere emotion on this disc! A very bad album from a wedding singer.
Call Me IrresponsibleCall Me Irresponsible by Michael Bublé

Mother's day is coming .....
AwakeAwake by Josh Groban

Such a nice boy and such a nice album.

Sub Sarah Brightman. B-Grade popera.

Izzy's second album. Yes, she was allowed to make another one!
Cieli di ToscanaCieli di Toscana by Margherita Graczyk
Buy new: $14.99 / Used from: $2.55
He really isn't a great singer, you know?!
RomanzaRomanza by Andrea Bocelli
Buy new: $14.99 / Used from: $1.75
No great sense of shading, dynamics, nuance or phrasing exhibited here.
Il DivoIl Divo by Il Divo
Buy new: $8.99 / Used from: $1.50
Their name is Italian for "The divs" and that is all you need to know.
SiempreSiempre by Il Divo
Buy new: $9.98 / Used from: $3.23
The divs again.
AncoraAncora by Il Divo
Buy new: $9.98 / Used from: $3.83
"Such nice boys!" - more from the divs.
The Opera BandThe Opera Band by Amici Forever
Buy new: $8.98 / Used from: $0.01
One of the most instantly forgettable albums of all time. Not as catchy as the Starland Vocal Band, nowhere near as cool and clever as Manhattan Transfer and not really camp enough to be enjoyed for its kitsch value. Pretentious and thick.
DefinedDefined by Amici Forever
Buy new: $8.98 / Used from: $0.41
Simply more of the same from the Five Amigos.
Tissues and IssuesTissues and Issues by Charlotte Church
Buy used from: $7.12
Actually, this might be the best disc in this list. Music for your randy Grandfather.
Prelude: The Best of Charlotte ChurchPrelude: The Best of Charlotte Church by Charlotte Church
Buy new: $8.98 / Used from: $1.91
She does tend to scream.... ...but at least she gets trolleyed in public now and does "it" in lifts. Good for her!
Time to Say GoodbyeTime to Say Goodbye by Sarah Brightman
Buy new: $13.99 / Used from: $1.48
Believe it or not, some people listen to this and smugly think that they're cultured and listening to "opera" from a real "opera" singer.
Sarah Brightman ClassicsSarah Brightman Classics by Sarah Brightman
Buy new: $11.94 / Used from: $2.85
You have to look hard at the back cover and use a little imagination to get the full effect. Yep! She's in the total on the back cover, with a few Photoshop effects chucked in.
Vanessa-Mae The Violin PlayerVanessa-Mae The Violin Player
Buy new: $11.94 / Used from: $0.94
Vacuous ...... and naff.
Best of Vanessa-MaeBest of Vanessa-Mae
Buy new: $10.99 / Used from: $7.01
More from the artist whose actual contribution to the world has been extremely short miniskirts. Sort of like Sky, but with the element of joy and fun taken out and replaced by risible self-importance and pretentiousness.
The ItalianThe Italian by Patrizio
Buy new: $12.99 / Used from: $3.89
What has Italy done to deserve this?
Forever Begins TonightForever Begins Tonight by Patrizio
Buy new: $12.99 / Used from: $5.51
I have listened to this a few times. I don't think I ever want to hear it ever again!
Paul Potts [United Kingdom]: One ChancePaul Potts [United Kingdom]: One Chance
Buy used from: $3.48
Looking like one of the characters from "Little Britain" [the hypnotist], Paul Potts' album gives us all the same songs every other cross-over belter has recorded over and over again. Perfect G Factor music.
VittorioVittorio by Vittorio Grigolo
Buy new: $14.99 / Used from: $2.92
Called the next Pavarotti! LOL! The next G Factor singer, more like it!
The Love CollectionThe Love Collection by Richard Clayderman
Buy new: $11.97 / Used from: $6.80
The hairstyle, the misty photos, the sincere look in his eyes! He knows his demographic.

What's Bob doing here? Oh! Yeah! I remember!
The Greatest Songs of the FiftiesThe Greatest Songs of the Fifties by Barry Manilow
Buy new: $19.98 / Used from: $0.01
I can't believe he paid good money for the lift. Hmmm. I blame botox.
The Essential Barry ManilowThe Essential Barry Manilow by Barry Manilow

If he ever got addicted to coke, Florida would disappear.
Not Too LateNot Too Late by Norah Jones
Buy new: $8.99 / Used from: $4.91
Sort of like a Rita Coolidge or a female James Taylor on mogadon. Basically, emotionless, uninvolved, apathetic, limited and tedious singing.
Come Away with MeCome Away with Me by Norah Jones
Buy new: $7.49 / Used from: $1.42
This jejune album was awarded a Grammy. Those who awarded the Grammy should hang their heads in shame for the ignominy that they have brought to their august institution.
ShineShine by Bond
Buy new: $17.98 / Used from: $3.96
Naff. Slappers on fiddles. Not terribly original. Not terribly clever. Poor-man's Classical music for people uninterested in really exploring the artform.
ClassifiedClassified by Bond
Buy new: $17.98 / Used from: $3.00
One of the most uncool, ungroovy unhip and ungood albums of all time. An unmitigated disaster and an embarrassment to all involved. Bar tarts, wannabe models and pole dancers playing strings - or perhaps someone else doing the playing? Not that one can hear much in the way of strings on this musical fiasco.
Let's Talk About LoveLet's Talk About Love by Celine Dion
Buy new: $7.98 / Used from: $0.01
Lets talk about sludge.... "Fang's" most popular album. God only knows why!!???
MiracleMiracle by Celine Dion
Buy new: $8.98 / Used from: $2.92
Another piece of schlock from Fang. Hell is a place where the only DVD available is "Ishtah" and only Celine Dion CDs are played...
Reach Out: The Motown RecordReach Out: The Motown Record by Human Nature
Buy used from: $89.47
Four white nerds singing Motown classics. It could be the greatest CD released in the last decade. Or I could be wrong! Very, very gay.
Filippa GiordanoFilippa Giordano by Filippa Giordano
Buy used from: $3.10
Actually this is SO dreadful and such a spectacular failure, it almost has a curious camp appeal ..... almost, but not quite. All of the other singers on this list do have some basic singing abilities. Giordano has none. However, she is a beautiful and elegant looking woman, if that helps? Check her out on YouTube to experience this "singer"!
