Editorial Reviews

Amazon.com

In the United Kingdom, New Zealand-born Natasha Bedingfield and brother Daniel Bedingfield have seemingly taken up permanent residence at the top of the pop charts. He's an earnest rocker with a dance music bent. She's an altogether more exciting prospect--a singer-songwriter who refuses to sit still, charging through decadent R&B ("Single"), jittery electro-pop ("I'm A Bomb") and first-class balladry ("I Bruise Easily"), invoking the likes of Beyonce and Gwen Stefani. And, okay, sometimes Nelly Furtado. An all-star production team, including former Robbie Williams collaborator Guy Chambers, makes for a debut that sounds like an instant greatest-hits set--just add cheekbones. --Aidin Vaziri

5.0 out of 5 stars Wicked cool, January 9, 2006

By	- Kasia S. (New York City) - See all my reviews (TOP 500 REVIEWER)

I was actually in the midst of folding four loads of laundry, when Natasha Bedingifelds album started playing on my pc, and I got so lost in it again, I had to drop what I was doing and give this girl some props. This is an amazing cd, with music so catchy, so cool and simply a pleasure to listen to that I'm a total fan for life.

I guess to compare her to other similar artists, which they probably don't like to have done to them, Id say she reminds me of Fiona Apple, Joss Stone , Alanis Morisette and of course her own core, but to be a good reviewer I like to draw comparisons at times.

"These Words" is one of the best songs I've heard, ever. It makes you want to get up and dance, and it comes in some great remixes that have their own CD available for sale here.

"Size Matters" is another song that will make you tap your foot under your desk at work, or make you skip a step in your walk, you might even sing along.

"Wild Horses" a sweet ballad but no cavities here, its sweet but it's secretly has a killer tunes that sound like it was created by a seasoned music aficionado.
Natasha has an earthy voice but she's slick, her music is not stuff, boring but is cool to the point that you are not embarrassed to listen to it in front of your friends. The choruses in her songs are great and have a real purpose. She's not the kind of girl who wants to be famous so she can do photo shoots and have makeovers. She has talent and she wants the world to be her outlet. She also writes her own songs, and she has so much to say!

I love it, and you will too! Branch out, listen to different artists, take a chance, you might be pleasantly surprised.

5.0 out of 5 stars Re-Release Information, July 29, 2006

By	KiWiSouP "kiwisoup" (Minneapolis, MN USA) - See all my reviews

The version of this album with the cover pictured is the rereleased version of the album with a couple small changes.

-The cover is different
-The tracklist is the same, but in a slightly revised order:
1. These Words
2. Single ('06 Mix)
3. Unwritten
4. Silent Movie
5. I Bruise Easily
6. If You're Gonna
7. Drop Me In The Middle (featuring Estelle)
8. Peace Of Me
9. We're All Mad
10. Stumble
11. The One That Got Away (Wamdue Pop Rocks Mix)
12. Size Matters
13. Wild Horses
Sojourn (Hidden Track)

-The album version of "Single" is replaced with the radio edit ('06 Mix). It's basically the same, with a bridge that has added lyrics.
-The album version of "The One That Got Away" is replaced with an edit of the popular club mix (Wamdue Pop Rocks Remix)

*There is not a seperate listing for the original and re-released editions, so there's a chance you could receive either if you order. This re-release is taking the place of the original edition, not being sold as an alternative.

1.0 out of 5 stars Sony Rootkit....Buyer Beware, November 7, 2005

By	S. Sullivan (Harrisburg, PA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

The infamous Sony Rootkit fiasco, detailed at http://www.sysinternals.com/blog/2005/10/sony-rootkits-and-digital-rights.html is present on this CD. I have confirmed its existence on a PC that played this disc and have a very high suspicion of it as the cause of many system instabilities on that PC (still under investigation).

If you like the music and want to support Ms. Bedingfield, attend one of her concerts, but do NOT, I repeat, DO NOT BUY THIS CD!

Sony must be sent a message that their behavior is unacceptable and will not be tolerated. In general, avoid all "CONTENT/SOPY PROTECTED" or "ENHANCED" discs. They can no longer be trusted from anyone, especially any Sony published discs.
