Various Artists - On the Line

On the Line, a romantic comedy starring 'N Sync's Lance Bass and Joey Fatone, is accompanied by this disc, which both consolidates the standing of some of the industry's biggest teen-poppers and singles out new Jive Records signings. New 'N Sync and Fatone tracks, along with the title cut (a summit meeting of Bass, Fatone, Mandy Moore, and others), offer little new, while Britney Spears's "Let Me Be" points to her growing vocal maturity. Much more audacious is "My Hit Song," a Melissa Lefton tune that displays a Josie and the Pussycats-style irony about the current star-making machinery. Along with Vitamin C's Abba-esque "Do You C What I C?" and the return of Robyn ("What It Takes") on "Say You'll Walk the Distance," it's a highlight. Adolescent country artist Meredith Edwards adds to the project's synergy with a second version of Fatone's showcase, "Ready to Fall," while Al Green's disco-fied remake of his "Let's Stay Together" is a puzzler, distinguished only by his joyous performance. --Rickey Wright Amazon.com

Music to My Ears!

This CD is, literally, music to my ears. The "On the Line" soundtrack is just so awesome! It's every bit as cool as the original movie. The songs are very catchy, and I often find myself singing along as I listen to them. My most favorite songs are "On the Line", "That Girl (Will Never Be Mine)", "Ready to Fall" (the Joey Fatone version), "Falling", "Do You C What I C", and "Don't Look Down."

What makes this soundtrack even better is that these songs are appropriate for all ages. No swearing, no talk of drugs or sexuality or death, or any of that Eminem rubbish. Nope--nothing but talk of love and how beautiful it can be.

I highly recommend this CD to anyone who is a fan of music. September 22, 2006

A definite Suprise!

When I saw the movie, it didn't seem to impress me. (That's not saying much looking at who starred in it. Didn't she get her head sliced off in "Wrong Turn?") But what did impress me were the songs in the movie! They are pop perfection!

1. ON THE LINE/ On The Line All Stars - Great pop song! Finally Joey and Lance get a chance to let their vocals shine with collaborations from Mandy Moore and Christian Burns from BBMak! (9/10)
2. THAT GIRL (WILL NEVER BE MINE)/ *NSync - One of their best pop songs! Should have been released as one of their singles, but I am glad it is on here! (9/10)
3. UNDER YOU/ Trickside - WHATEVER HAPPENED TO THESE GUYS! This song is so awesome! It has a rock pop vibe to it and it is so catchy! (10/10)
4. DON'T LOOK DOWN/ BBMak - A nice mellow track from BBMak. A little dull at times, but still nice. (7/10)
5. LET'S STAY TOGETHER/ Al Green - This sounds like some kind of 60's/70's song. I usually skip it. (5/10)
6. LET ME BE/ Britney Spears - I have to admit, this song is extremely catchy! It has like an eastern vibe to it. Very good! (9/10)
7. FALLING/ *Nsync - Compared to That Girl, this song is lukewarm. This is not one of their best ballads. (6/10)
8. DO YOU C WHAT I C?/ Vitamin C - Ugh. This song sounds so cheery it just makes me want to jump off a cliff! Cheap music, cheap lyrics! (3/10)
9. READY TO FALL/ Joey Fatone - This song is great! Joey definately needs to go solo. It has a mellow rock tune to it. I can listen to it all the time! (10/10)
10. TO BE ABLE TO LOVE/ Jessica Folker - MY PERSONAL FAVORITE! She is just awesome! Sweden at its finest. The beat is so great and her vocals just add the icing to the cake! DEFINATE REPEAT MATERIAL! (11/10)
11. MY HIT SONG/ Melissa Lefton - Nice song. Very interesting lyrics to go with the upbeat music. (9/10)
12. SAY YOU'LL WALK THE DISTANCE/ Robyn - YES I WILL! This song is fantastic! Why the U.S. ever turned the other way on this singer I will never know! She is phenomenal! Another great talent from Sweden! (11/10)
13. TAKE ME ON/ Richie Sambora - ANOTHER GREAT POP TRACK! I didn't know who Richie Sambora was until this song and I am glad I picked it up! He is a great act! (10/10)
14. CAN'T TRUST MYSELF/ Blaque - I used to be a fan of Blaque until I heard this song. Dull and uninspiring. (5/10)
15. READY TO FALL/ Meredith Edwards - Joey's version of this song is so much better. Skip this. (6/10)

A definate surprise and definate treat for the ears!

The coolest combinations ever

I'm a great fan of that cd, it's really the boom. I have the DVD and found out that it's not complete without the soundtrack. I LoVe IT!!!. Most especially "Ready to fall in Love", because it reflects my life personally. If you have the DvD without the Soundtrack CD, your collection is not complete. Go get it , it's worth the money and time. And moreover I'm a SYNC Nsync fan 4-Ever. May 29, 2003

Teenybopper soundtrack

I got this cd as a present from my mom (back when N*Sync was "cool") a while ago, and at the time, it was pretty good. Joey Fatone has a great voice and is very good on "Ready To Fall", but the REAL highlight is Richie Sambora. I personally am still listening to this cd for that one song and it's the only reason I gave it three stars (three times better than any other song on this cd!!!). The rest (Britney, BBMak, N*Sync) is just the soundtrack to the perky life of the teenybopper ...Unless you're a die-hard rock fan like me (who worships Bruce Springsteen and Bon Jovi), skip it.

Doesn't Have the Best Songs From The Movie

The film's best songs were the ones that Joey sang in the bar at the beginning, a remake of Def Leppard's "Pour Some Suger On Me" and the hauntingly beautiful "Kevin Crapped Out All Alone."

Since this album does not have those songs I will probably not get it. Too bad, because I am a big Joey Fatone fan. January 24, 2003
