Wish I could make it all a lie,

This review is from: This Crazy Life (Audio CD)
Let's not glorify Joanna's music. It's pop, not too much more. If you like pop along the lines of Kelly Clarkson, you'll probably end up liking This Crazy Life. Joanna has a strong voice but I'm sure that'll end up getting clouded over by her looks, which is sad, because as good as she looks, her voice is stronger than a considerable amount of people getting a ton more attention than she is. However, now that you know that, I hope that you'll buy this before the label jacks up the price when she gets popular (which I'm sure will happen).
Song-wise, This Crazy Life is full of great vocals, catchy beats, and pretty good lyrics. I'm disappointed that Joanna didn't write all the songs but with a label like Geffen, I'm sure they're not taking any chances. Personally, I think Joanna's voice sounds better fronting a rock beat, like that of the chorus on the opening track, Let It Slide. But then again, she's not too shabby on a piano-laden track, such as the gorgeous 4th Of July. Her outright pop tunes I don't feel show her potential as much as the afforementioned types of songs. That's me though. In an endlessly growing sea of pop singers, Joanna properly shows she's better than a lot of those out there. Need proof? Listen to the title track, This Crazy Life, and try not to say this girl is talented. How many singers tackle topics like that in a song? Her delivery is eerily effective and the increasingly distorted background music (think pop-oriented industrial) is just perfect. Not to mention the variety included, it's not that unusual anymore but heck, it makes for an entertaining listen. My favorite songs are Ultraviolet, Broken, 4th Of July, This Crazy Life, and Your Obsession. Joanna's This Crazy Life isn't perfect, but for a pop CD, you gotta give her credit. There's not a lot left that hasn't been tried before in this genre, but somehow Joanna made a CD full of fresh sounding songs complete with a voice that won't easily be forgotten. This Crazy Life is highly recommended.

This review is from: This Crazy Life (Audio CD)
With This Crazy Life, Joanna shows that her singing career will likely not go the way her acting career did. Joanna's voice is incredibly versatile - sometimes she sounds like a higher-pitched and purer Mariah Carey, sometimes a bit like Kelly Clarkson, and even a bit like singer Abra Moore on the spine-tingling ballad "This Crazy Life." The song "Let It Slide" has a smooth, non-glossy feel that maybe should be found more on the album. She also sounds very strong on the rocker "Drifter." The other songs are pleasant and Joanna displays very good songwriting ability. The songs she picked by other writers are also solidly written. Diane Warren is a hit and miss songwriter, but her "Your Obsession" is sexy. I think on Joanna's next album, her style will grow, and her songs will stand out more. It's good if songs don't tire you out with their catchiness, but you need to be able to really remember a CD for it to be great.

Pure Greatness,
By Josh "JAC" (Minneapolis, MN USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: This Crazy Life (Audio CD)
I have no idea who Joanna is or where she comes from but, I do know that this CD is stellar!
She has a great voice with a big range, very melodic songs with catchy hooks with great music. Her sound reminds me a bit of Kelly Clarkson with the pop/rock formula. Her voice and the music together command you and draw you in with every note and chorus. This CD is a must have for everyone! It's a great addition to anyone's collection! JAC ~~~~~ 07'
