David Cook

Advantages: Current American Idol winner, a musician
Disadvantages: None

...This...... is the current American Idol Winner. David Cook is the American Idol that nearly never was. He actually was not initially going to try out for the television talent show, he was at the auditions to support his brother but, after some pushing from his brother, decided to audition too. A good decision, because he became the winner of the seventh season of American Idol in 2008. David Cook is classified as a Rock, singer-songwriter. His sound is definitely very rocky, but in my opinion quite soft rock. He has a very deep, raspy voice that lends itself very well to this type of music. What I really like about him is that he can actually play an instrument, unlike a lot of the new pop stars out there today who are just manufactured. He plays the guitar and actually used it quite a lot when he was performing on Idol. If you look...

Review of David Cook - David Cook

Got soul?

Advantages: Complex, aromatic and reasonably priced fragrance
Disadvantages: None that I can think of

...*Hugo Boss have me impressed* A recent convert to the world of men's fragrances any stronger smelling than a basic anti-perspirant, the warm, woody and very masculine scents of Hugo Boss Soul won me over from the moment I smelled them on a visit to our local Boots. Visiting the aftershave section seems to be something of a tradition for my girlfriend and I when Christmas or a Birthday is approaching, as she likes to pick up a nice smelly for me and no doubt a healthy chunk of Boots points for herself. *Stylish packaging for a cool product* The first thing that I noticed was the interesting distorted bottle that the product comes in. It's made from oddly curved glass that darkens from an almost colourless base up to a smoky purple-grey, with a similarly designed lid that looks something like an optical illusion depending on which...

FREE DVDs

Advantages: Free trial, large choice, post included,new realeases
Disadvantages: see review

...I like movies and I like freebies, so when you get offered both in one swoop you?re bound to accept! I used my two week free trial with this company and remained with them for a couple of monthsbefore moving on to try many other companies free trials (and winning a new DVD player on Tesco DVD rental site on their free trial offer). I then had an email from DVDs 365 asking me to go back, and offering me a free DVD if I did so. I had just left Tesco (with my new DVD player) so I chose to go back with them. ∆◊◊ THE SERVICE THEY OFFER ∆◊◊ Basically it?s like going to a video shop and hiring films on DVD, except you don?t pay for each film you chose ? rather a monthly fee for which you can watch as many movies as you can fit in, for us this is usually around 8 a month (2 a week usually weekends...

Show me some SOUL

Advantages: Amount of applications
Disadvantages: The sound

...This review is about the mobile phone I used to have. The phone itself is called the Samsung Soul and is a phone which has been around now for a year. Made by a big brand in Samsung you do expect a phone which has fantastic features and to last a very long time. So I will now discuss the parts of the phone in order to give you the readers some sort of idea about what the phone is capable of doing and what it does well. The phone design ----------------------- Well my phone is black which looks stylish and sexy, and is a slider phone. The backing of the phone has this silver backing which covers the sim card and battery and is quite solid. On the front of the phone you have the touch pad and the screen which is quite obvious in some respects. The charger connection is on the left hand side and is hidden by this little bit...

Surprising Picture Quality - Panasonic DVD-S54

Advantages: Incredible picture quality when compared to my old non-upscaling player with a scart lead
Disadvantages: Sometimes disc drive can be really noisy when DVD's initially load.

...At first I wasn't convinced by up-scaling DVD player technology but was persuaded after reading an article in "What Hi-Fi? Sound and Vision" magazine. Unable to afford a Blu-Ray player my sister and I bought the Panasonic DVD-S54 to match our parents brand new Panasonic TX-32LZD80 LCD television as their Christmas 2008 present. Admittedly it was a slightly selfish purchase as we both live at home and wanted to watch DVDs on the big new TV ourselves! We bought the player from the electrical retailer Comet for about £100 just before Christmas so there were no discounts applied. On Christmas day when opened we found a relatively small box tightly packed with the player in polystyrene packaging. All the components such as cables, remote and manuals were well presented in their own protective plastic bags, to keep them protected. The player...

Review of Panasonic DVD-S54

'Heart and Soul' a warm hearted novel.

Advantages: A very engaging novel with strong characters
Disadvantages: None in my view

...Review of Heart and Soul, a novel by Maeve Binchy I am reviewing the paperback version of the book, 544 pages, Published by Orion, ISBN 978-0752884646, cover price £7.99. About the Book Maeve Binchy is a popular author of romantic novels, generally set in Ireland. I have read several of her novels and I find that there is something rather comforting and familiar about picking up a Binchy novel. It is almost like meeting up with an old friend and catching up with his or her news. Binchy writes in a simple, yet totally structured fashion and her characters naturally unfold as the story progresses, I find myself wanting more as I finish each novel, the mark of a good storyteller in my opinion! The characters in Binchy's novels are very well drawn and although Heart And Soul can be read as a stand alone novel, I recognised...

Review of Heart and Soul - Maeve Binchy

The Heart and Soul of the Irish health service.

Advantages: Characters are well explored.
Disadvantages: All a bit sugar coated.

...As readers to my page know, I have had a bit of a Marian Keyes spell of reading, so I thought I would have a change. Not much of a change, to be fair, as I returned to a previous favourite for easy reading, in Maeve Binchy. Again, another Irish female author, and one who I trust to give me a good yarn at the end of a busy day. I was given several hard back copies of her novels by my sister, one of which was ?Heart and Soul?. I have read this as a stand alone novel, but just read another review which has told me that it was a sequel to Whitethorn Woods. I have Whitethorn Woods to read, also, so I feel a bit let down that I wasn?t made aware of this by the author when I was choosing which book to start with. That said, I may not have enjoyed the book as much as I have done, if I was referring back to the first novel as I read Heart...

This Mobile Has Soul!

Advantages: Looks great, seems a good, solid phone
Disadvantages: Can be slow at times

...I have decided to review my mobile phone as I haven't really reviewed many electrical products yet. When it comes to mobiles, I must admit that I am extremely shallow. I usually go for the most attractive looking phone available at the time. I am on contract, so my choice is limited to whatever Orange decide to offer me at the time of renewal, although I normally get quite a wide selection to choose from. Six months ago my contract was renewed and I was told I was entitled to a free upgrade, I scoured the list of phones available and my eyes soon fell on this crushed pink coloured phone by Samsung. The Samsung SGH-U900, or 'Soul', is a part keys, part touch screen phone. This was ideal for me, as although I liked the look of all the touchscreen phones I'd seen, I wasn't ready to completely give up my keys just yet! Unlike some...

The Soul Bird

Advantages: Simple, Genuine, Good for kids
Disadvantages: Simple, More for kids

..."Deep down, inside our bodies, lives the soul. No one has ever seen it, but we all know it's there. Not only do we know it's there, we know what's in it, too" My grandfather was a religious correspondent for the BBC, he also wrote many books about religion, but after many years of searching he decided that he was a Quaker. My grandmother was also a Quaker and a few months before she died she gave me The Soul Bird, I read it quickly and then put it on my book case and forgot all about it. After she was gone I spent some more time reading this book, it can be quite powerful. The Soul Bird is written by Michal Snunit, an Israeli author born in 1940. She has taken on many literary roles from editing a weekly magazine to being a journalist for a daily paper or writing lyrics for children's musicals. She is best known for her...

Review of The Soul Bird - Michal Snunit

The Princes Of Swingin' Soul

Advantages: Bangers throughout
Disadvantages: Nothing specific

..."Sons of Soul" was the third album from the R&B group Tony! Toni! Toné!., it came out in 1993, in the latter days of the R&B/Hip Hop hybrid that was New Jack Swing and so you can hear that it is being watered-down fairly significantly by this point. Amongst the Oakland group you have Raphael Saadiq in lead vocals, Timothy Christian Riley and D'Wayne Wiggins. Aside from these you have other people who go on to make up the band who compose the music, as well as a personal production group. 1. "If I Had No Loot" This one opens up the album and has them go straight tin with some freaky New Jack Swing to liven it all up. It is a killer song on the thing, and ironically it samples a rap from Ice Cube which ridiculed the whole New Jack swing movement, but it seems to have been used effectively in this case on the energetic production...
