Fun, Sweet, Good for Mandy Moore fans
Holly is a very talented performer. I do suggest her other album State of Mind over this one. This album has a lot more slow R&B sounds where State of Mind is more catchy, & dancey. However if you love Britney Spears first album, or Mandy Moore you may like this album.

Excellent!
Everyone says Holly Valance has no talent whatsoever, and is just jumping on the pop bandwagon behind Kylie Minogue and Natalie Imbruglia. Well, you're wrong! *imitates buzzer*If some of you critics actually listened to this brilliant album, you'd see that Holly has talent! Sure, her voice may be computerised and fake on some songs, but others show off her voice! HELLO! Don't knock her before you've listened to her CD!Standout tracks are:1. Kiss KissHolly's debut single that sent her straight to number one in the UK. Can't help but love it. It's overplayed, but you gotta give the girl credit for being naked in her video!3. Down BoyHolly's second single. This is even better then "Kiss Kiss". Most people hated it, but I love it! I love the music, the lyrics and the naughty video!6. WhoopThis sounds like a spinoff of "Kiss Kiss" or "Down Boy" at the beginning, but when you get into the song a bit more, it has a sound all of it's own. I especially love the groovy music, and the bit right at the very end. Holly's voice is computerised but it sounds very sexy and breathy.8. All In The MindContrary to what other people say, this song is NOT filler. It's brilliant! I just absolutely LOVE the music in this dancefloor track, and the singing is so sultry and the chorus will stick in your head.10. Help Me Help YouHolly drifts into ballad land, now with a gorgeous ballad that you can't help but sing along to. The chorus is great to wail to, even if the lyrics are a bit weird.11. Naughty GirlNot as racy as it sounds, this is Holly's third release that reached an uncharacteristic number 18 on the UK charts. This is slightly slower then her previous singles, but still a corker. It has great music and Holly really shows off her vocals on this song.13. Send My BestNot on some albums. This is SUCH a shame, because it's the BEST song on the CD! I absolutely love and adore this song! To be honest, I hated it when I first heard it, but give it a try and it will definitely grow on you! It has such brilliant music and Holly again gets a chance to show off her great vocals. I love this song soooo much!Overall, a brilliant CD that will definitely get you up and dancing. In my opinion, Holly is the best out of all the popstars to come off TV shows. She can act, she can sing, she can dance and the guys love her! How can she go wrong? Go Holly!

footprints HOLLY VALANCE
13 Outstanding songs!!! Because their all quite evenly balanced, I will review about half of them.1. KISS KISS- A very creative re-make from a the Turkish version. I love the violins and the lyrics are sang quite fast and the video's alright too. 99%3. Down Boy- The chorus is more like a verse, in comparison to, the tempo, and therefore the entire flow of the song. But anyway, Holly Valance always have songs with a really good beat, and flow. I will give this track 94%4. City Ain't Big Enough- A bit of a girly song, quite different, contrary even to all of thhe other tracks, but that can only mean one thing....... ORIGIANLAITY!!!. She should try doing that in some of her other songs. 94%5. Cocktails and Parties- My second favourite song, not at the moment, but altogether (if you know what I mean.) It is a great dance song and have all the features a good song needs. to go far. 100%10. Help me, Help You- SO CREATIVE!!! SO WEIRD!!! and odd, but that just makes me love this song even more. 93%11. Naughty Girl- Debuted at #3 (W After; #4) and went Gold in Australia. I believe that Holly could pick a better single thatn this. 81%Therefore, A great CD with great artwworkand great video clipsand great songsI believe that all pop CDs should have lyrics though.For more infomation check out my "list" or website if you liked my review so much: [...]
