Color me a classic I don't know why people are still hating on Color Me Badd after all these years? I'm sure everyone who owns or has at one time owned a Color Me Badd CD has belted out the words to "I adore, mi amore," perhaps alone in the car or to a high school sweetheart. Don't be in denial, don't be embarrased. We all need a little Color Me Badd in our life, cheesy or not.
The gold standard Some nights before I go to bed, I say my prayers and simply stare at my gorgeous self in the mirror. I thank the heavens I look like I do and ask for things like a White Lion reunion tour or Grim Reaper at my four year old's birthday party. Usually, my requests go unanswered. That was, until this CD came out. I have both CMB(That's color me baddd's initials) albums and they are about as good as early Hasslehoff. To take both of those CDs and put out a best of is a dream come true. This band is straight forward, strap on your hip waders rock and roll if ever there was any. The pulsating guitars, drums and keyboards with a bunch of guys going, "oooooh oooooh ooooohwaoooooh, I wanna sex you up, to tha hip hop ya don't stop" make you proud to be an american even if you are from Tennessee. The guys all shine like the sun through a magnifying glass on this platter but one of the boys just takes this thing over. The guy that looks like Screech from Saved by the Bell is at his finest on this best of. It's like he was tired of getting the fifth prettiest girl in each video and decided to put the George Michael look a like guy and the other three to shame. He flat deals on this thing. I have girls at the club sing "I wanna sex you up" to me all of the time as if the song was written for me and it never gets old. This cd won't either.
Out with Color Me Badd... in with Megadeth! After listening to Symphony of Destruction by Megadeth, I tossed this CD into the garbage. I can't believe I listened to this trash. I wanna sex you up? PLEASE. That is SO 1980s. I'm into new stuff now, and Megadeth is as current as it gets. Oh, and the Color Me Badd CDs are also EXTREMELY FLAMMABLE.
Missing some key songs Most other reviewers hit it right on the money. Though this album did cover some of their best, there were definitely some key songs that were omitted - plus a few others that I would have liked to have included, even if they weren't HIT hit songs - e.g., Time & Chance with an opening by the late, great, Ossie Davis. They should put out a greatest hits part 2 and include some of the other big ones: Forever Love, Let's Start with Forever, etc.- I'd buy it!
Geeze The Best Of? A band has to actually have a hit that doesnt make your ears bleed before they can release a "Best Of" or "Greatest Hits" album, this of course, this band did not.
