I love Victoria. I think She did a great job of defining her self and her style with her album however I wish she would have rocked the World with her 'Girlfriend' song as her second single.
1. A Mind of Its Own-- A Great song. It reminds me of Frank Sinatra. Its one of those songs that at first you dont want to like but you do and then it really grows on you. Very catchy and I love the line "its gonna be my tears you cry"

---Songs to be played at the Perfume counters at the Mall--

2. Always be my Baby-- This song sounds like 'Its gonna be Me' from 'nsync. Its not really her style and she did not write it. It also sounds like 'bombastic love' from Britneys latest CD. I thought she had done a remake of a Mariah Carey song but its not.
3. Feels so Good-- Sounds like she wrote this before her morning coffee kicked in....which would be a great time to listen to it. Its dancy and cute but not exactly as profound as the songs that made the CD.

I feel strongly that Girfriend and IOU could have made her CD travel to America. For as good as this song and Innocent girl are they just didnt showcase her Album as one that refuses to bare a clearance price tag or one that would need to get dusted off before taken to the checkout.

"A Mind Of It's Own" is a slighlty surprising choice for a single as it is one of the weaker tracks on her debut album, "Victoria Beckham". It's a mid-tempo track with laid-back spoken verses and a catchy chorus. The non-album b-sides however are the real find here. "Feels So Good" (not the Melanie B track) and "Always Be My Baby" are real pop/r'n'b tracks, which would not be out of place on Victoria's album (which, incidentally, is well worth checking out). They would also sit nicely on albums by some of Victoria's contemporaries, eg Britney Spears or Mandy Moore.

Don't be fooled by her "name" or the weak first single. It's a good pop-tune. Her voice is only average but therefore it's Miss Vic. She's really glam
