5.0 out of 5 stars Wow! Welcome to the world, Katrina!, October 5, 2004

Take a touch of Martina McBride's incredible vocal talent and throw in a dash of Chely Wright's downhome spunk ... and you have the terrific middleground debut of Katrina Elam. From the driving beat of DROP DEAD GORGEOUS to the lyrical heartbreak of THE BREAKUP SONG, Katrina drifts effortlessly in and out of melodies with the grace of a surprisingly accomplished singer. With a bit more promotion and airplay, she's a talent that should enjoy a great career in the world of country music. A rare exception to the current crop of C&W performers, Katrina manages to breathe life into every track of this first swing.

5.0 out of 5 stars Just saw her open for Keith Urban & was pleasantly suprised!, October 10, 2004

This review is from: Katrina Elam (Audio CD)

I just heard her this evening opening up for Keith Urban! I hadn't even recalled hearing her single yet, & didn't really think much of her opening up. (I was way too excited to see Keith Urban!)
I have to honestly tell you I was not really anticipating much of her, but was pleasantly suprised! She has a WONDERFUL voice, & her songs were fun & spunky! I expect to be seeing much more of her to come!
I really enjoyed "Strong Anything", "Drop Dead Gorgeous", and the song about a "real McCoy, Cowboy" (don't know the real title!) These are upbeat songs that I think women young & old will relate to in a special way of their own!
She also sang an extra touching song called "Flowers on the Side of the Road" that refers to the death of 2 friends. This one is a sobering reality of many people, & I am willing to bet (& I am not a gambler) she pulls quite a few heartstrings of listeners in a way that is unique to country music.
I think as a newcomer, she definitely shows serious promise. If she is as headstrong & determined as she appears to be, she will definitely make quite an impact! After hearing these songs from her, I am definitely buying her album!

5.0 out of 5 stars A blend of Martina And Faith put together., January 31, 2005

By

This review is from: Katrina Elam (Audio CD)

This talented singer/songwriter is one of the best things that happened to country music in 2004. She is a mixture of both Martina and Faith put together with the way her voie sounds. It is hard to believe that this girl is under the age of 21 with the way she looks and sounds. The choice of songs that she choose you could tell that she was still a teenager when she sings "I Want A Cowboy" and "Drop Dead Gorgeous." One of the most powerful songs on this album is "The Breakup Song" which she done an outstanding job and you never could tell that she was a teenager. It was one of the most beautiful songs that i ever heard in my life and it was well written. It comes from the heart and soul and it's the truth. She sings another truthful song "Unbreakable" where she is singing that we must pick up ourselfs up and not leave someone or something bring us down. It will only make us stronger. There is not one bad song on this album.

1.) Strong Anything 3/5
2.) No End In Sight 5/5
3.) The Breakup Song 5/5
4.) I Want A Cowboy 5/5
5.) Unbreakable 5/5
6.) Flowers By The Side Of The Road 5/5
7.) Drop Dead Gorgeous 5/5
8.) Normal 3/5
9.) I Won't Say Goodbye 5/5
10.) Home Running Away 4/5
11.) Prelude To The Kiss 3/5

You can't get any better than this lady right here. She has an amazing voice and is one heck of a songwriter. She is the real deal.
