...was on vynil)So i eventualy contacted my local music store who to my joy! found me my lost Album onCD for a meagre £4:99.I immediately bought it,and brought it home and sang my little heart out! "Sorry neighbours" or should i say "Sorry Island"? NOW FOR BILLIE JO! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Not a lot is known about this artist as she is a very private person but what i know is,Billie Jo Spears was born in Beaumont,Texas in 1937,and made her debut as a mere child of 13yrs at an all star country concert in Houston, Texas under the name of Billie Jo Moore.Not long after she recorded a single called "Too old for toys,Too young for boys" for Abbot records.

Advantages: Plenty fabulous tracks, deep meaning
Disadvantages: Maybe a bonus track would have been nice!

...everything turned around for the worst. Billie was beginning to struggle. Her rival, Britney Spears was making it big, and Billie had a lot of personal problems and health issues, and felt like she was tackling everything on her own. Because of this, the songs on Walk Of Life are a little bit more meaningful than her previous album. ***** Walk Of Life comes complete with 12 tracks: 1) Day And Night 2) Something Deep Inside 3) Walk Of Life 4) Safe With Me 5) Bring It On 6) Ring My Bell 7) The Tide Is High 8) Run That By Me 9) Promises 10) Because Of You 11) What Game Is This? 12) Misfocusing Each track has its own meaning and style!

Advantages: Great tracks, loads of emotion packed inside!
Disadvantages: Not so much tracks from her first album

...jumped back into the business as a much more mature 16 year old, and a surname too! The bubbly princess known as Billie, was now a sophisticated Billie Piper! Though she was having success in the charts still, Billie's mental and physical health were going down. After a nasty remark, Billie became anorexic, and had several other health problems too.

Billie is best known now for her role of Rose Tyler in Doctor Who 2004-2006. ***** 'The Best Of Billie' is a collection of all of Billie's greatest hits from her three years as a solo artist. Filled with 15 fantastic hits, it is most definitely my favourite album! ***** The songs on this album include... Read review
