...beyond her years and she is definitely a face to watch out for.
If you like Taylor Swift, you might also be interested in Miranda Lambert, who constantly being compared to her and is probably her biggest competition in that particular corner of the market being a young country singer-songwriter. It's hard for me to choose a favourite as Miranda is a lot rockier and probably has the better voice, but per CD there are fewer songs of hers I really love.
I downloaded this CD for free through Limewire, but it can be found at Amazon for £18.49 or on iTunes for £7.99. For some reason the deluxeedition with DVD is cheaper at £17.99! There's no doubt that is really expensive for a CD, but as of yet it is only available in the UK as an import, so much as I like it, I'd stick to download for now!...

Advantages: Great tunes and you get the music videos too Disadvantages: none
...Wow! As a big beyonce fan i was not dissapointed by B'day deluxe addition as it has a lot of sas and some great songs that make you want to get up and dance.It has all the songs that the original Bday album comes with such as Irreplaceable and Dejavu and includes the newly released songs such as Beautiful liar and Ring the Alarm. The album has a combination of fast beat pop songs with classic R'nB and one or two slow ballads. My two favourite tracks have to be Flaws and All- a love ballad with a fresh twist , and Get me bodied- a fast upbeat song,perfect to listen to before you go on a night out.
If the insanely great range of music wasn't enough the Bday deluxeedition also has dvd versions of some of Beyonces videos.(Some of the videos included are Irreplaceable, Flaws and All, Freakum Dress, Ring the Alarm and Beautiul Liar which...
