5.0 out of 5 stars Amazing, October 1, 2000

By	Christopher Mchenry "Draven" (Livingston Manor, NY, USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

About a week and a half ago, I was watching the opening ceremony to the Olympics. They had a young beautiful girl by the name of Vanessa Amirossi, and she sung a song that doesn't exist. I looked up the song she sung "Heroes Live Forever", and it doesn't exist. But the point is, I was stunned by her voice. The song is still in my head after 2 weeks. So I decided to get her cd. When I got the cd, I was once again, blown away. She has the most amazing voice for someone her edge I have ever heard. Get this cd.

5.0 out of 5 stars Down Under Artist Sings On Top, June 29, 2000

By A Customer

I was in a bar in Cairns, Australia and Vanessa Amorosi's Absolutely Everybody came on and everyone in the bar started singing and dancing...except for my American friends and me-- we had no idea who the singer was. Since then, I've bought this CD and it's one of my favorite souvenirs from Australia. It's upbeat, refreshing, and an all-around positive listening experience. It's time for Americans to include this CD in our best hits collection.

5.0 out of 5 stars Her Olympic Performance Is Proof -- Amorosi is great!, September 18, 2001

By	Homa Woodrum (NV United States) - See all my reviews

I've never bought an album just because I was impressed by a singer -- this is an exception. The price is discouraging at first, but there are 10 original tracks and 3 remixes that are consistently of high quality. Not only does Amorosi have a great voice (no studio magic), she takes credits on most of the songs as having written them. There is a perfect mix of jumpy and soft songs on this album, some even have quite an edge. For me the tracks that jump out are "Absolutely Everybody," "The Power," and the remix of "Pray For Love." If you like this, I highly recommend Amorosi's single for "Have a Look" because it has a great remix as well as "Heroes Live Forever" (from the sydney games). If you search carefully you can find 30 second previews of some of the songs on this album either from other amazon listings or searches elsewhere. All I can say is that there are no filler songs on this album and Amorosi truly holds her own vocally. Oh, and just fyi, there is a bit of bad language, such as the "b" word but it is entirely in the context of the song and not offensive at all. Some of the songs on this album are SO inspiring, it is a purchase you won't regret if you find yourself humming to pop songs but wish there was more legitimate talent out there -- Amorosi is that talent!
