Unfortunately, the same cannot be said for the bland "Wake-Up Bomb," which seems rife with the trappings of mid-80s rock and roll. "Wake-Up Bomb" packs on the weight of conventional, driving guitar chords, predictable drum patterns, and, deadliest of all, the title sung over and over again as the chorus, a la "Everybody Wang Chung Tonight." A later track, "Bittersweet Me," has the spastic energy, not to mention the intro rhythms and chords, of the Rolling Stones' "Start...
Virtually every Indian film is a musical. The songs, lip-synched by the actors but sung by "playback artists" who are also stars, dominate the pop charts. This is pop opera, dealing with emotions so convulsive they must be sung and danced, in a solemn, giddy style that critic Peter Rainer calls "Busby Beserkeley."

Barnett brings to this lovely plaint a maturity as amazing as Rimes' vocal virtuosity; she's the woman with a past, hoping for a future. It all promises well for her own future--we can imagine...
There was something quite moving about this strangely-united crowd singing the anthem. It was the first time I had sung the "Star Spangled Banner" in public since the last time I attended a Red Sox game six years before (my patriotism and Boston team spirit seem to have dissapated at approximately the same time...
