Freaks - Niney The Observer

Advantages: FANTASTIC singer!
Disadvantages: I paid £12!

...to a wind machine and lightening in the background! This gives the very powerful, independent look which can even look a little intimidating. But has any one else noticed that you rarely see her without glasses/sunglasses? Just a lil observation there! <<<The Songs>>> I find that all her songs are very true to life and either are : about her/her life experiences, ex boyfriends, current boyfriends, or just love:) The songs are also really good for her voice and suit her versitility. I mean, she can sing softly and demurely (love that word), or she can belt out a chorus, either extremely high, or extremely low. I envy her for that. And her vibrato very impressive. It would have been nice if there were more songs on the album, because it would have made the price more worth it. Track 1: Freak of Nature: The title of the album, Freak... Read review

Advantages: a wide range of songs that everyone can relate to,an unusual voice
Disadvantages: not everyones cup of tea

...I've liked Anastacia since I first heard the track "I'm Outta Love" and instantly fell in love with it. Since then, I have liked most of the singles she has released, the funky "Paid My Dues" being my favourite. This song was the first release from her second album, "Freak of Nature" and was my reason for buying the cd in the first place. The opening and title track "Freak of Nature" provides a funky upbeat introduction to this album - a great beat and fantastic lyrics about how she's different from all the rest combine to make an unbelievably catchy track, although the talking at the beginning of the song is a little irritating. After this, the misleadingly slow and eerie sounding introduction of "Paid My Dues" (her best tune to date, as I said before) leads us into this very r & b style track with its fantastic music and strong...
