After hearing her first single off the album about a month ago I have to say i was a little worry about what it is going to be like. I got my hands on the CD/DVD edition today and first watched the DVD first (a good 40 mins, really good actually. It did look a little stage in some places but it was all fun and she's cute

Anyway, the music. Brilliant !!!

Yes, it's a little different than the "hate him, I am on my own" style in the 2nd album, this is a LOT more upbeat but its all good. All the tracks are instantly likable due to the upbeat tempo, and after listening to the album the single Girlfriend fits in a LOT better and actually quite a good track after a few more listen. Shame they didn't include the video on the DVD thou, strange that.


p.s. I guess the people who hate her style will probably hate this album too but i can't help that.

I've been hearing "Girlfriend" all day today. It makes me want to puke.

but she is really cute and I secretly had a crush on her during my freshman year of hs. I'll listen to some samples on itunes or something.

Yea, I'm attracted to certain female voices. This includes both good and bad songs. =[

After listening to the rousing chorus of:

"Hey! Hey! You! You! I want to be your Girlfriend!"

I decided I'm the wrong gender and about 25 years too old to be in the target audience.

What?? You don't want to be my girlfriend?

Hold on to my pocket lining!

I'm gonna shamefully say that I liked her first two CDs. There are
times when I'm in the mood for her straight-ahead type music.

I'll have to check out her third release.

yes, I did. And this was pretty bad, even for pop.

i don't understand what she is doing. Her major fanbase is teenage girls, why does she swear? She is only going to alienate her fans who have overprotected parents ( the majority) and I don't know how an adult will enjoy these lyrics.

and she is on the greatest Canadians of all time list. It's horrible. I mean Don Cherry is iffy, but her? God damn it.

I guess artists want to do their "fun" album now, but when Nelly Furtado did it, it was actually good.
