Girl Like Me, A - Emma Bunton

A Girl like Her “Emma Bunton” the Best solo spice album yet!! Emma is the four successful spice girl to date having hit number one with her single ‘What Took You So Long’. Now the Spice Girls have taken over the Beatles in the battle of the solo number ones. When the Beatles went solo only three of them went to number one. But the Spice Girls have defeated them with Melanie B’s – I Want You Back featuring Missy ...
...listing of Emma’s album ‘A Girl Like Me’ which has hit the highest chart entry at number four. There’s also a little hint about the each song. 1) – WHAT TOOK YOU SO LONG – As everyone knows her first number one. A very deep guitar track which held the top chart position for two weeks, holding off Shaggy’s massive hit It Wasn’t Me. She also looks absolutely stunning in the video. What else can I say ...

Review of Girl Like Me, A - Emma Bunton

...make the transition from Spice Girl to a successful solo artist. But with ‘A Girl Like Me’, her first album away from the group which propelled her into a global superstar, she looks to have hit the jackpot once again. To launch her solo career, Emma has enlisted the help of Richard Stannard & Julian Gallagher (Melanie C, Spice Girls, Kylie Minogue), Evan Rogers & Carl Sturken (Eternal, Jessica Simpson), Andrew Frampton (Steps - but ...
...guitar pop or R&B, “A Girl Like Me” is a disco-influenced song about how you can’t *!!* (as the lyric sheet puts it!) with a girl like Emma! One of the strongest contenders for a future single, you may have seen Emma performing this song on The National Lottery Stars recently on UK television. “Spell It O.U.T.” is a bit of a filler. Produced by Andrew Frampton, it is R&B by numbers. The lyrics are particularly weak. ...

Review of Girl Like Me, A - Emma Bunton

But then I'm a great tea drinker...... I bought this CD a few months ago because I'm usually into rougher music with an edge like Garbage and the Stereophonics but I have had a particular little fetish for Emma Bunton since 'What I am' came out ages ago with TinTinOut. She's got a lovely relaxing voice that I have always dreamed of having and I love listening to her. This album does not disappoint me in any way. Those looking for a piece of musical ...
...she is, is not the next star of the century. Her latest singles like 'What took you so long' and 'Take my breath away' are beautiful, well put together tracks that are perfect for lying on the sofa with a cup of tea. There are a few more upbeat, dancey tracks but dear old Emma knows to stick to what shes good at and the album is mainly full of nice ballads. Her version of 'Sunshine on a rainy day' is a good one to watch out for I think as her voice ...

Review of Girl Like Me, A - Emma Bunton

...now becomes the 4th Spice Girl (Including Geri) to release her debut album, and this comes on top of her #1 single "What Took You So Long?". Only Victoria is yet to have a #1 single or release her solo album. Emma has a lot to live up to, what with Geri's success (now 4 #1 singles), Mel C has had great sucess in the album charts and 2 #1 singles. Mel B hasn't done so well, her album didn't sell well though she has had some success in the singles ...
...the dancable title track "A Girl Like Me". Overall the album is pretty good, better in my opinion than Mel B's effort and Mel C's, and on a par of poppiness with Geri's. I think Emma will have good success with this album, as she has one of the nicest voices of the Spice Girls, and has good material to back it up. If you are a Spice Girls fan then you probably have this already, but if you are pondering on whether to buy it or not then if you ...

Review of Girl Like Me, A - Emma Bunton

...The one time Spice Girl has brought out a solo album and judging by the video for the single she's well into playing the sex card good and hard (ooer missus) for all it's worth. I always found Bunton to be the least talented of all the SG's (yes even more so than Stick Spice) and alwasy felt she was pretty much of a lightweight makeweight and now I'm damn sure of it. 'A Girl Like Me'? What do you means Emma, a girl who is vacuous, fawning, untalented, ...
...see you mean ravishing, girl next door, talented and very brainy, sorry, I missed that one. C'mon man there's no need to be so spiteful it's only pop... Well, actually there is every need to be spiteful. Ms Bunton is trading on her past glories and flashing he rknicks to get on and it's not good enough (just like this album). I actually liked the Spice Girls as an outfit and thought they were intelligent and gifted, but since we see them exposed, ...

Review of Girl Like Me, A - Emma Bunton

This CD is the most un-original i have ever heard. All the songs sound exactly the same and have almost the same beat to them. I would have thought Emma would have made a much better album than this. But i'm warning you DON'T BUY IT! The only decnet song on it is 'what took you so long' which gets boring after a while. Hopefully Victoria Bechams album will be muchhhhhhhhhh better. Her first single with Dane Bowers was really good anyway. It seems ...
...their solo albums are doing well Forever has been in and out of the charts so quickly and some of the smae writers were probably used for Emma's album,. If you are unsure you should download a couple of napster first. Donwload it at napster.com Then you can decide for yourself. ...
