Great songs in a mellow portuguese style - By: Sally Wilton, 16 Oct 2007 
First heard these songs on the film 'Life Aquatic' & couldnt wait to get the CD. These songs are so beautifully & romantically sung by Seu George. Even if like me you dont know a word of Portuguese it is stll fabulous. Great for listening toin bed to lull you to sleep.
Bowie Goes To Brazil - By: Nicolai Würtz Knudsen, 22 Sep 2007 Film director Wes Anderson has a sixth sense for the quirky & magical. So it's no surprise, that he included Seu Jorge & his portuguese versions of David Bowie-classicsin the movie "Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou".
This CD is all the tracks from the movie & more. With his acoustic guitar & soothing voice Seu Jorge makes all the well known Bowie hits a joyful revisit. So if you like Bowie - even just a little bit - this will be a CD, that will stayin your CD-player for weeks.
It's a star man in portugese - By: Jari Ahvalo, 02 Mar 2007 
If you enjoy music of David Bowie, you'll probably will find these arrangements by Seu Jorge fascinating. Like David Bowie said about these songs, they bring out a whole new level of beautyin them. Here, it's just Seu Jorge with his acoustic guitar singingin portugese David Bowie classics. You might say that this is the sunny side of Bowie...?!
Not all the arrangements work perfectly, but some of Seu Jorge version are equal (or dare say "better"in some cases) than Bowie's recordings.
Difficult to say, what people who are not familiar with the original songs think or people who don't like Bowie's music. I for one enjoy these songs like I enjoy the originals. Made me appreciate Bowie's songs even more.
Well, this is a great album that'll keep for years to come.
Wonderful! - By: J. Buggle, 15 Nov 2006 Imagine you are on a tropical beach, lounging under a palm tree, sun & breeze on your body, David Bowie songs being sung & strummed nearbyin a beautiful exotic language. That's sort of sums up the mood & flavour of this treat of a CD!
Addictive Brasilian Bowie covers - By: Dream-princess, 11 Aug 2006 I thought I would write this review as I do understand Portuguese & this makes the songs even better. The lyrics are beautiful, capturing the emotions expressedin the original songs or expressing new ones, but allin the unique Brasilian spirit. This is one of those CDs you start playing again immediately after the first time you hear it.
