Album Reviews: JazzTimes (5/96, pp.75-76) - \"It is impossible to hear Billie Holiday's 1956 Carnegie Hall concert without absorbing some of her pain.

...Billie Piper. Formerly Billie - clean cut, girl-next-door, annoying and from Swindon. But now she's rediscovered her surname, learnt from the Book of Britney and finds she just can't get clothes to cover her midriff.

Advantages: Good voice, great catchy songs Disadvantages: none
...Billie Piper has been around for 2 years now. She has recently gone for a more mature sound with her latest single "Day + Night", which went straight in at number 1. Her previous singles were all very catchy, and her first 2, "Because We Want To" and "Girlfriend" went straight in at number 1. Billie was and still is the youngest person ever to have a number 1, as she was just 15 when she had her first. She has also made 1 album and her seconsd is coming out this year. Some other hits by Billie are "She Wants You" and "Honey To The Bee"....
