Sarah Connor, August 18, 2005
This review is from: Sarah Connor (Audio CD)
Her american CD is basicly a compilation of her biggest hits from Germany/England ect... Except its missing her best song and her first #1, "From Sarah With Love" is strangely absent.
1. Bounce-10/10, Everybody has heard it. Never gets old. Her biggest hit in the US. Honestly a Good song. Super Catchy will have you dancing.
"Bounce baby out the door, i ain't gonna take this no more"
2. French Kissing-9.8/10, A good sultry and sexy song. She sounds so hott when she sings this song. Her voice is so sexual in this song she even gives her classic power vocal at the end. GREAT
"give it baby give it in the car, take it baby take it wherever you are"
3. Lets Get Back To Bed - Boy!-7.5/10, Not bad just not may favorite from this CD. She has her voice digitalized in it but it sounds good.
"April til' November i will kiss you tender"
4. Skin On Skin-10/10, A classic Sarah Connor ballad, starts off sweet and whispery but in the end she power vocalizes it. She sounds great and does that awesome Power Grunt thing in her voice which i love! especially with her. One of the best songs on the album.
"This Game Is To Play Dont You That Its Time And You See That My Hearts Gotta Know When Your Gonna Be Mine"
[I love when she grunts the know part]
5. One Nite Stand (Of Wolves And Sheep)-10/10, Laughable in parts but awesome the chorus is awesome she says it so fast im surprised taht i could understand her. About a guy that she wanted as a friend that turned into a One Nite Stand. Hilarious last line "Ladies if you must have it make sure he wears a profilatic"
"Don't Feel Sad, Bad, Mad Cuz' I Too been through the rain and i can feel your pain, Momma said there'd be days like these and im telling you ladies look out for the wolves that dress like sheep"
6. He's Unbelieveable-8/10, A good song. But not as good as some other songs on this cd.
"Should I Dress In High heels should i go out in my blue jeans"
7. Music Is The Key-10/10, Reminds me a lot of One Sweet Day by Mariah and Boys II Men. Is a duet with her husbands band Natural 7. Very uplifting and great!
"Whenever your falling down, Hopeless and pushed around, Find Your Own Melody, Trust me that Music Is The Key"
8. Love Is Color-Blind-9/10, Good song proving you dont have to be the same nationality to be in love.
"It don't matter if your black, white or yellow, if yer brown or red, Lets get down to that love is colorblind"
9. I'm Gonna Find You-10/10, Another Sarah ballad. But a great song at that. Probably my favorite song on the CD.
"I Know I'm Gonna Find you, The Day i Come You'll Open Up The Door"
10. In My House-6/10, To much dance pop
"I'll be your sugar in the morning and that sweet stuff you need at night"
11. Turn Off The Lights-8/10, One of the sluttiest songs I've ever heard...I LOVE IT! A little to jazzy though
"Turn off the lights and close the door this is the night we've been wating for"
over all 2 thumbs up, This is a great CD.

So So, March 13, 2004
This review is from: Sarah Connor (Audio CD)
Well, Sarah Connor's been very successful over here in Germany where she's #1 at the moment (03/12/04) with her brand new single release "Just one last dance" featuring her boyfriend's band Natural. It's her 3rd #1 single here. But let's come to this cd. Here she's released 3 albums which are combined in teh what is now called "Sarah Connor" US release (btw, the cover's from her 2001 debut "Green Eyed Soul").
Unfortunately her record company only included 11 tracks - and some of her best are missing!
Bounce: The Top 20 hit in germany last summer. 2nd Best song off her 2002 "Unbelievable" album. Sounds like any other typical RnB song from the US but since she's GErman her style is somehow unique over here.
French Kissing. Second single off "Green Eyed Soul" and least successful one. In my opinion one of her best tracks. Sexy voice and the "No Diggity" sample makes this one perfect!
Let#s get back to bed...boy!: Her breakthrough hit in 2001. Hit #2 and went gold (over 350.000 copies sold). Nice, laid back tune which features TQ, an RnB singer signed to Cash Money Records.
Skin on Skin: Top 5 hit in winter 2002. Some say this is just a copy of her 2001 smash #1 "From Sarah with love", which is MISSING HERE! Still Sarah's vocal range becomes clear here. Good song though the weakest of her ballads.
One nite stand: My favorite Sarah Connor song. From the "Unbelievable" album as well it features Wyclef and is a hot club track. Went #5 in fall 2002
he's unbelievable: Though another Top 20 hit for her in Germany, it's where the album has its first real downfall. Very laid back and without any highlights.
Music is the key: Very good ballad. After "From Sarah with love" my favorite ballad of her. Sounds like Mariah and Boyz II Men with "One sweet day". Hit #1 in GErmany last November
Love is colorblind: Well this is the worst song she's ever made. Good message but just plain boring! Included on her 2003 "Key to my soul" release.
I'm gonna find you: A very good track from her latest release as well. Very sultry, sexy and powerful.
Turn off the lights: Jazzy, laid back. Also taken from "Key to my soul" and a perfect ending for this cd.
So I like Sarah a lot BUT the problem here is a) only 11 songs and b) Missing hits as I said. Where's her platinum + selling "From Sarah with love" or current #1 "Just one last dance??" And instead of "Love is colorblind" they should've included some hot stuff from "Green Eyed soul" like "Magic ride", "Every little thing" or "in my house" or "Teach you tonite", "That girl" and "Where did you sleep last night" off "Unbelievable".
If you really like Bounce and think you might like Sarah's music in general, go and buy "Green Eyed Soul" (most club RnB tracks), "Unbelievable" (most laid back tracks) and "Key to my soul" (most personal, mainly ballads) instead on import. If you don't have the money buy this one. It's still better than what comes from your average RnB/pop singer. Plus Sarah's got the voice!

Not a Bad Debut Album, Definite Talent is here, April 29, 2004
By A Customer
This review is from: Sarah Connor (Audio CD)
After listening to this album, you may say Sure, It's not a 10+ Million selling record, but to be a debut album, there's some pretty good music on this CD. People say Sarah stole Bounce from Mary J Blige, Ok, Let's be fair, who's cracking on Jessica Simpson for singing Take my Breath Away, (NO-ONE) Who's Hating on Alison Krouse, a MULTI Grammy Winner, who started her Career by singing, When you Say Nothing at All by Keith Whitley. So what if Sarah borrowed some beats. She asn't got sued yet, so it doesn't look like Mary J Blige is too upset. At least it sounds good, and pays tribute to Mary J Blige by using the beat for a good song. Sarah has taken a lot of heat, but not much of it is justified. Listen to the vocals on French Kissing and the other songs, and you'll see, there's definitely talent here, and even more in the making for this Hot Young Lady.
