4.0 out of 5 stars Wait.. There IS another way, May 22, 2000

Okay, people, giving CoCo 1/5 stars is pretty harsh. I mean, hello, this Asian pop artist is more talented in her thumb than Britney Spears or Mandy Moore. <Jessica Simpson and Christina Aguilera give CoCo a run for her money, especially since Jessica Simpson's album might beat out CoCo's record in Taiwan! Ack!> Anyways, CoCo has had such a life. Originally, she only became a singer to pay off damages to her mom's car she made. Then, well, a new singer was born. CoCo has already released 20 +/- albums in Asian, including 2 English albums <not including Just No Other Way>. Her voice is beautiful in my opinion. Okay, she is no Whitney or Mariah, but to say she is worse than Britney Spears? Um.. NO. If you listen to "Before I Fall In Love" and any of these songs <well, none after "All Tied Up In You">, you will see CoCo actually displays some talent. She can belt it out, and unlike Jessica Simpson, she can sing without wailing and making my ears bleed! On Just No Other Way, CoCo had no choice in the songs so don't be surprised that her producers got her to sing <with her approval> such Americanized tracks. Hey, many of the tracks on Just No Other Way are very good, especially "Before I Fall In Love" and "All Tied Up In You" and "Wherever You Go" <despite how 80's this song sounds>. As for "Don't You Want My Love" and so on after that, the album goes downhill. But all before that, the songs are memorable and addictive. If CoCo Lee couldn't get you excited, hopefully J-pop singer Mai Kuraki, whose 1st English album will be out this summer, can. But people, remember this: Can you belt it out like CoCo does? If you want to give Miss Lee another chance, check out her Asian albums, especially CoCo Lee: Best of My Love <compilation> and "Sunny Day".

5.0 out of 5 stars PLAYA HATERS STEP!, March 9, 2000

This review is from: Just No Other Way (Audio CD)

Hey everybody, I am writing this review as an Asian American in California. I personally feel that CoCo has a great voice, if you heard her Concert CD, her covers of Killing Me Softly, Careless Whisper, and River Deep Mountain High show her incredible vocal range. Her voice is not exactly like Whitney Houston's, Mariah Carey's, Christina Aguilera's, or Britney Spears', but guess what, it's because she's chinese and an Asian voice WILL differ slightly. CoCo's voice is beautiful whether in Cantonese, Mandarin, or English and if you don't think so, keep your thoughts to yourself. If you don't have anything nice to say, don't say it at all. I bet some of you fools reading this right now would be pissed if i wrote that Britney Spears is a one hit wonder or that Mariah Carey is a "hip-hop" sell out. Those are just some disparaging comments YOU would make. Well, I like all those artists, because they make entertaining music, which is what it's all about. Coco demonstrates that talent on a Jennifer Lopezesque Do You Want My Love. She has the voice of Aaliyah on All Tied Up In You, does a better job than Mary Griffin (who by the way is African American) on Just No Other Way, and introduces a new sound to all of us on Before I Fall In Love. For all you Coco fans reading this out there, I hope you are writing radio stations and MTV/TRL to make yourselves heard. Let's get airplay for CoCo on all the majors so the rest of America will soon love her. Northern CA Z95.7 106 KMEL Wild 949 102.5 KDON K101 Southern CA 92.3 The Beat Power 106 Star 98.7 KIIS 102.7 NEW YORK 103.7 WKTU Hot 97 any other place you guys can think of, show your love! Let 2000 be the year of the Asian Invasion, so America can be introduced to not only hot Latin sounds, African American rhythym and beats, but Asian artistry as well. Go and buy CoCo Lee's Just No Other Way--- Sony- 550 Music.

4.0 out of 5 stars Just No Other Way, April 7, 2000

I personally think Coco Lee has done an extrodinary job on this debut English album of hers. I feel this way and am Caucasian so I do hope people will stop insisting only Asians can like an Asian artiste trying to make it in America. Each song sounds completely different from the other and showcases a different aspect her tremendous talent. My favourite track has got to be the title track - Just No Other Way. Lyrics and melody are great!
