Here are some customer reviews of Love Actually : HEY EVERYONE. NEED HELP ON COMPILING LIST OF SONGS FEATURED IN MOVIE BUT NOT INCLUDED ON THE SOUNDTRACK, NOTABLY A ROCK AND ROLL OLDIE USED DURING A MONTAGE SCENE ABOUT TWO THIRDS OF THE WAY THROUGH THE FILM, REALLY CATCHY POP OLDIE! PLEASE HELP! (it might be a christmas rock pop song.... someone mentioned that! just please name some names.... someone post a review with a list of tracks featured in the film but not on the soundtrack! thanks This cd sucks. don't waste your money on it. The only thing that made me even give this cd 3 stars is Kelly's The Trouble With Love IS, and Maroon 5. Kelly is probaly the BEST pop female singer right now, because the shanky ones lip sync at their own concerts. And Maroon 5, other than Kelly are my favorite performers. The songs that Maroon 5 sings, one isn't even full-length. DO NOT WATSE YOUR MONEY! heck just go buy "Thankful" and "Songs About Jane" for actual good music! this cd was an extreme let down :( The soundtrack of "Love Actually" is extremely beautiful, uplifting and fun. The film itself is so rich and strange it's hard to pick out favorite moments. But the three onscreen musical performances certainly translate well from screen to CD, and serve the film as the glue that hold the various love stories together. The first song performed in the film is crazy Bill Nighy's hilarious crusty version of "Love is All Around", the second is Lyndon David Hall's uplifting and soulful rendition of John Lennon's classic "All You Need is Love", and the third is 11 year old Olivia Olson who bursts from the screen at the end of the film--in a "Star Is Born" moment--singing like an angel. (She belts out Mariah Carey's "All I Want For Christmas") I like the longer remixes on the CD of all three, although the live filmed performances of Bill, Lyndon and Olivia all have a raw, funny, joyful and soulful beauty. This CD is bursting with the same emotion we get from the film--an absolute love of life. One of my favorite cuts is Eva Cassidy's gut-wrenchingly beautiful version of Christine McVie's "Songbird". (Cassidy died of breast cancer at a young age and the joy and sorrow in her voice is hauntingly beautiful.) Another is Joni Mitchell's incredible smokey-voiced version of a song she wrote as a young girl, now filled with layers of profound meaning sung by her beautifully deep, smokey voice as an adult. Check it out for Brian Wilson's best song, the exquisite sadness and joy in Eva Cassidy's beautiful voice, and especially to experience the discovery of little Olivia Olson who may well launch from this film into mega-stardom. My rating on this CD: 5 STARS Never have I heard a soundtrack that includes almost every single song that was in the movie. Every song is great! If you loved the movie you must buy this CD. If you want a CD that has just the right mix of songs and artists, this is the CD for you. It has more tracks than what are shown on this site. It does include the Christmas songs. I have to give this 5 stars! It's one of the best CD's I own thus far. I have to say that this soundtrack is as delightful as the movie itself. Both add a much needed touch of warmth to these colder months. Highlights of the cd include the classic Joni Mitchell, Otis Redding, Maroon 5 (a surprise as I have only heard one song of theirs before), and Kelly Clarkson. Her song, "The Trouble With Love Is" takes the listener back to the sounds of Aretha Franklin and Donny Hathaway. Her soulful voice is undeniable and can warm any heart. This CD is a must buy!
