After quickly looking over all the reviews I realized no one rated the songs off her album, so here goes:]

1. Ride- Fast and cute song which says if you wanna take a ride on the other side with God. 5/5

2. Don't Look at Me- Stacie's first single, which points to God as the perfect example, not to herself. 5/5

3. O.O Baby- At first I didn't like the computer sounding music, but the lyrics are great for teens and preteens. 4/5

4. Without Love- GREAT song. I love the really simple but special lyrics. 5/5

5. Stay True- A funky urban sounding song that quickly became one of my favorites. 5/5

6. Genuine- Cool song that talks about acceptance- the music video to the song rocks. 5/5

7. With a Little Faith- At first I liked this song but they over play it on the radio. 3/5

8. So Pray- The begining of the song it sounds slow, but has lots of attitude. 4/5

9. Holdin' On- This is a groovy song but it sounds as if more than one person is singing. 4/5

10. Restore My Soul- Oooo I love this song! It has a great message. 5/5

11. Confidant- When I got this CD {the day it came out} I really didn't listen to this song a whole lot, but lately it's become one of my favorites. 5/5

12. Everything- This song is a lot like O.O Baby but slower. 5/5

13. Dear Friend- A sweet balled. She played this song in concert it was so sweet. 5/5

Genuine is on an entirely different level from the candy-coated teen pop we're too used to hearing. It's fresh, relevant, and to-the-point. I can't say I completely loved every single track the first time I listened through the CD, but now I appreciate each song for the messages each conveys -- read the lyrics! I also appreciate Stacie's not shoving her voice in her listeners' face. She doesn't overdo the vocal acrobatics, yet she effectively displays her talent. (Less is more!) I truly hope that if any of your friends start raving about the pop stars of the secular world, you will whip out the liner notes to this CD and say, "Some of those teen stars are talented, but they're shallow. Read this. Listen to this. It's genuine." [I remember hearing Stacie sing "Household of Faith" at school (King's Elementary) when she was about 5 years old. I must have been about 7; I thought she was talented then. Imagine my surprise when I got a sample music CD and saw her name! She's gone a long way.]

Stacie has a wonderful voice and is incredibly talented! Her music is catchy and positive and is flavored with both pop and R&B sounds. Both her voice and songs are similar to those of Britney Spears, Christina Agularia and the like. The songs are very upbeat and happy. One of my favorites is "Dear Friend"-it really pulls at your heart if you know the story behind it! This is a wonderful CD! Buy it today!

Stacie Orrico has managed to take Christian music to another level with Genuine! Anyone who dares to call her "the Britney Spears of Christian music" needs a wake-up call! Britney is awesome, but Stacie will put her to shame! Such songs as Don't Look At Me, O.O. Baby, Stay True, and Holdin' On both have a groove and a message. Then, there's the ballads, like Without Love, Everything, and Dear Friend, a song Stacie herself wrote for her anorexic friend. This album is filled, not with artificial things, but that which is genuine...no pun intended. Although Stacie has tapped into the teen pop phenomenon respresented by such secular artists as Mandy Moore, Christina Aguilera, and of course, Britney Spears, Stacie sings about real life issues, such as peer pressure, idolizing someone else, temptation to do wrong, and even marriage and dating. Stacie is the coolest Christian singer ever. Rock on!

I really think that Stacie is very talented! She's only 14! And at 14 she has a beautiful voice! God gave her a wonderful gift, and she's totally using it the right way.

Stacie Orrico is one talented teenager! I have to say, I was very surprised to find she was so young! I think it's wonderful and refreshing to have someone like Stacie Orrico in Christain Music. It sort of puts the "life" into the Christain Music for the average young person (or young at heart!:) who may find other Christain groups a bit dull or the music outdated. I bought this CD about a month ago and I can't stop listening to it. My daughter loves it too. I think the best songs are "Without Love", and "Restore My Soul". I didn't like every song at first, but they have a wonderful message and a catchy tune and I love them all now. If you like Christina Aguilara and Mariah Carrey, you'll LOVE Stacie Orrico.

I love this CD i listen to it all the time. I think Stacie is a beautiful artist that shows talent through her songs.When one of my friends first played "Dear Friend" at a group meeting we were having with some of the girls in our grade I just started crying.I think the song is so beautiful and it really meant something to me and everyone else. I went out and bought this CD right away.I read some of the other reviews and thought they were great except that only one mentioned that Stacie's music was about Christ.If you arent not a Christain I encourage you to first read the Bible (John 3:16) and then buy this CD maybe it will mean a lot to you and maybe not. Thanks!

I bought this CD at the same time as I bought Rachael Lampa's "Live For You," and at first I thought that Stacie would never live up to Rachael's powerful voice. But after listening to all of the tracks, numerous times, I started enjoying Stacie's cool and up-beat grooves, style, and attitude in a positive way. And at age 14, Stacie shows so much more vocal maturity than most expect of her. I first heard her hit "Don't Look At Me" on the radio, and I never guessed that a 14-year old was behind that summer smash. My favorite tracks are "Don't Look At Me," "Stay True," "Genuine(you should see her new video for that on the Disney channel-it's great!)," "With a Little Faith," and "Restore My Soul."

Stacie Orrico is amazing! I can't believe how much talent she has...After listening to her cd only once, I know that it's a must have for everyone..
Her voice is absolutely beautiful comparable to the likes of mariah carey and celine dion. It is so hard to believe that this is her FIRST cd - lyrically her songs are so devoted to God, and she has a talent that makes the words shine through and really mean something to the listener.

Although I was at Creation West and she was one of the performers along with Rachel Lampa, DC TALK, Newsboys..etc..
I didn't attend her concert - I wasn't interested in that kind of teen pop, and I'm still not really that interested in the genre - but her music is so AWESOME! It is hard to be ignored...I feel like such a fool for missing her performance!!!
I only stopped listening to lots of secular music lately - but she is WAY better than Britney and Christina and all of those teeny boppers!

She is a rising star - I'm lovin this cd, but I cannot wait until her sophomore cd!
:D
