FILM SYNOPSIS: Soundtrack to the film Joyful Noise, a funny and inspirational story of music, hope, love and renewal starring Oscar® nominees Queen Latifah (Chicago," Hairspray") and Dolly Parton ("Steel Magnolias," Nine to Five"). The small town of Pacashau, Georgia, has fallen on hard times, but the people are counting on the Divinity Church Choir to lift their spirits by winning the National Joyful Noise Competition. The choir has always known how to sing in harmony, but the discord between its two leading ladies now threatens to tear them apart. Their newly appointed director, Vi Rose Hill (Latifah), stubbornly wants to stick with their tried-and-true traditional style, while the fiery G.G. Sparrow (Parton) thinks tried-and-true translates to tired-and-old. The musically driven story brings together the sounds of gospel, pop, country, rock and R & B with memorable songs, performed by the cast, from a wide range of artists, including Michael Jackson, Usher, Chris Brown, Paul McCartney, Sly & the Family Stone and Stevie Wonder. Dolly Parton wrote original songs for the film, including "Not Enough (Love)" and "From Here to the Moon."

"The Best Soundtrack I Have Ever Heard!", January 11, 2012

This review is from: Joyful Noise (Audio CD)
The "Joyful Noise" soundtrack surpassed even my expectations. Though the film's main theme is spiritual in nature (which of course is a wonderful thing), don't have the mentality the songs are sad and heart-breaking. If anything this CD is the complete opposite: the tracks are uplifting, upbeat and full of inspiration even the few songs that are ballads. Some of the tracks were written by none other than Dolly Parton herself and there are some amazing remakes of classic hits done here that take on a new persona of their own by the artists who perform them.
The "Joyful Noise" soundtrack was produced by Mervyn Warren who is most famous for producing the soundtracks to the films "The Preacher's Wife" and "Sister Act". In "Joyful Noise" he brings together the sounds of R and B, country, inspirational and even a bit of rock and roll to make an exceptional album.
My favorite track from this collection is the remake of the Michael Jackson classic "Man In The Mirror"...Read more

This "Joyful Noise" soundtrack is truly filled with joyful music. The music makes the movie worth watching. This soundtrack proves that gospel music can be uplifting and soulful. Keke Palmer's cover of Man In The Mirror is powerful and moving. Dolly Parton and Queen Latifah duet on the "He's Everything". This song fills me with hope. These two songs are worth the price of the CD alone. Dolly Parton sings a beautiful love song entitled From "Here To The Moon and Back". Her voice really moves me. This soundtrack also contains groovy cuts like "Higher Medley" and "I'm Yours". These two tracks make feel great and get me moving. These song feature Keke Palmer and a singer named Angela Govey. Angela provides soulful vocals on these two cuts."Maybe I'm Amazed" features Keke Palmer and her co star Jeremy Jordan. This track is a smooth jam. I really like it. "In Love" is a song that contains gospel and R and B vocal stylings by a singer Kirk Franklin. This song pumps me up...Read more
