Rated: NeXXXt

Advantages: Lots of big R&B tunes
Disadvantages: A few average tunes

...?Rated Next? was the 1997 debut from the R&B trio Next. Hailing from Minneapolis, Minnesota, Tweety, T-Low and R.L. broke through with the single, ?Too Close?, which in the UK was more famously covered by the Pop band, Blue. On this album, you have them do the most explicit R&B you are likely to hear, to get you right into the feel of what they are singing about. 1. ?Intro? 2. ?Too Close? I expect that you will be familiar with the Blue version, if you don?t remember the original, but one this one you actually feel exactly what they are going through, and in this one, unlike the Blue version has them go at it with explicit lyrics to tell exactly what they mean when they have girls grind up on them for the slow dances in the clubs. It is a killer tune, and begins the album off in a great way. **Five Stars** 3. ?Butta Love? I would...

Top Gear

Advantages: Great entertainment
Disadvantages: None!

...Men of the world unite ? this is Top Gear. The ultimate car show. Forget the charade that is Fifth Gear over on Channel 5. BBC Two?s beloved Top Gear is the pinnacle of motoring shows. Made by the Beeb and hosted by Jeremy Clarkson, James May and Richard Hammond, this hourly show has been made for years now ? orginally it was more of a basic motoring review show with the likes of Clarkson and Tiff Needell, but it was completely revamped in 2002 and brought in May and Hammond to not only review brand new cars ? often sporty ones or ridiculous super cars ? but to task part in tasks to produce entertainment. The show isn?t religiously broken down into section but there are various parts of the show which occur each week. There?s always a ?Star in a Reasonably Priced Car? who will try a lap around the Top Gear track in a Chevrolet...

Review of Top Gear

Top Programme

Advantages: good programme
Disadvantages: none

...Top Gear???? Top Gear is a motoring show that is broadcast n BBC2 on Sunday evenings at 8 o clock and repeated again during the week. There are three main presenters on the show and they are Jeremy Clarkson, Richard Hammond and James May. Each of these presenters has their own quirkiness and their own very individual opinions relating to cars. The show lasts for an hour and you feel you are getting a lot packed into one show when watching it. There is usually a few new cars that are featured on the show and test driven by one or other of the presenters. There is also "The Stig" who is a racing driver dressed in all white driving suit with a blacked out visor on his helmet. The identity of "The Stig" is unknown and there is always a lot of speculation as to who really is in that driving suit (any ideas let me know...

Review of Top Gear

Top of the class

Advantages: Fun, easy to pick up, Multiplayer
Disadvantages: a lil dated

...Tennis, a sport that the greats are amazing at, the great matches amaze us, but to be honest, so few of us are actually any good at. Well for those like myself who's back-hand ends up on the rail way tracks (as in where the trains really go) and who's forehand smash usually results with my swan-diving the asphalt, Top Spin, is our friend. Published by Microsoft Game Studios, it was released in Q3 of 2003, to those Tennis watching fans, who are also partial to some video gaming action. Originally hitting the American market in October of 03, and Britain in November 03, Japan's releases was in July of 2004. The game was released to massive success, and was the Xbox's first major Tennis game. Latterly it was published by 2K Sports for the PS2, before spawning sequels in Top Spin 2 and Top Spin 3. The game which can be picked up...

Review of Top Spin (Xbox)

Top Class!!

Advantages: Brilliant features, full of useful tips etc, available on subscription
Disadvantages: Can be deemed expensive, the hundreds of ads!

...In my stocking last Christmas, I recieved a small envelope in which looked quite intrueging. Inside the envelope was a subscription to one of my favourite magazines "TOP SANTE.Top Sante is, in my eyes classed as a "Special Magazine" and so I was pleased to recieve this gift as it meant I wouldn't have to splash out every month. The name Top Sante, comes from the french word "health". This indicates before you even read the magazine, that the contents will mainly be health related. My mum has been buying these magazines for 4 or 5 years and had saved up most of them. So you can imagine my delight when I came across a huge pile of them in one of my mum's drawers! Top Sante is a magazine which comes out monthy, normally on the 1st or 2nd day of the month. The magazine contains roughly around 140 pages, and each page is jam-packed full...

The Rating Game

Advantages: See opinion
Disadvantages: See opinion

...Reading and rating opinions is rather more difficult than it might first appear. Your name will be clearly displayed next to the rating you give and you want to ensure that the rating is honest and impartial, otherwise people may not take you seriously when it comes to rating opinions you have written yourself. Firstly, try not to be influenced by the ratings left already by other members. Read the opinion through and base your rating decision entirely on how useful YOU found the opinion to be. Ask yourself whether the piece provided enough detail? Did it tell you everything you needed to know? And most importantly, did you learn from it? Would it influence you in trying the product or service? Was the advice offered impartial and honest? Remember that everybody has their own writing style and because the opinion may not have been...

Rate Me High & I'll Rate You High? Don't Think So

Advantages: helps you learn from others
Disadvantages: none

...Ciao is a consumer review site. Potential consumers come here to get advice on cameras, TVs, travel destinations, member advice, mobile phones, books, films, etc. The more people that come to the site, the more they will click on adverts and banners on the site, the more revenue is generated for the company and the better it is all for all who write here. The more coherently and informatively a review is written; the more reads it will generate as highly rated reviews go to the top of the list when someone does a search. I've been writing here for about five years now. I enjoy writing reviews and have learnt over the years to accept constructive feedback from my peers on the sites I write for as well as to be able to give constructive feedback myself. Feedback is a much better word than criticism, don't you agree? I...

Top Gear review

Advantages: Very fun to watch, great chemistry, informative
Disadvantages: None

...Top Gear is a multi award winning TV show about cars that is broadcast on BBC 2 while repeats are shown on Dave. It started in 1977 as a conventional motoring show but, since it's relaunch in 2002, a lot of comedy and quirkiness has been injected into the show. It is currently on its 12th series. The show is presented by Jeremy Clarkson, Richard Hammond, James May and The Stig, who drives all the featured cars around the Top Gear track to see which posts the fastest time. Jeremy Clarkson is synonymous with this show, having been one of the reasons the old Top Gear peaked in the '90's. Unfortunately, the show was cancelled in 2001 but brought back after Clarkson and producer Andy Wilman pitched a new format to the BBC executives. During the first series Clarkson was joined by Richard Hammond and Jason Dawe, who was replaced by James May...

Review of Top Gear

Eleven on top? Never!

Advantages: Quick moving and fun to read
Disadvantages: nothing really!

...Janet Evanovich has written a whole series of books all centred around the incredible life of Stephanie Plum the fictitious American Bounty hunter with attitude. This story sees Stephanie tiring of her role, life is fast becoming one big hassle. There is no glamour attached to being covered in someone's spit, nearly swallowed by giant canines and forever being on the receiving end of a tirade of verbal abuse. Eleven On Top ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Stephanie Plum is yet again on another of her mad and reckless missions as she goes off in pursuit of yet another crook who carries a price on his head. Stephanie once had a job that any young girl would love, she bought beautiful sexy undies for a large firm in New Jersey. All was going so well until the axe fell and Stephanie found herself redundant. Eventually a close...

Review of Eleven On Top - Janet Evanovich

This Reviewing, Rating, Commenting Issue!

Advantages: Makes reviews and ciao better generally.
Disadvantages: hmmm.....

...Only five Ciaoists wrote a review on this topic. I am the sixth person as at this time. So I wondered: why haven't we have so many reviews on it? The issue of Reading, Rating and Commenting on a review has been a long standing one. In fact I shall say right from when ciao was lunched. I may not have been around at the time, but I strongly believe that Ciaos existence relied solely on these three issues. I wonder If people don't read, rate and comment on reviews we write, then there won't be buyers of these product we review, and that is why I agree on torr's review when he wrote : ''Ciao relies for its existence on revenue from advertisers who take space - or hyperlinks or pop-ups - on its pages. The readiness of advertisers to advertise, and the rates they pay, depend partly on the relevance...
