Northern Star - Melanie C

...Spice Girls. And after hearing Northern Star I went straight out and bought the album. I know this was a bit risky because I didn't wait for any other of her songs to come out, but i have to say, i got lucky. There are 12 different songs on the album, with a further 2 versions of 'i turn to you' and 'never be the same again' remixed at the end. For me the album shows a range of different types of music. There are slow and gentle songs like: 1. ...
...best songs on the album 2. If that were me 3. Why 4. Be the one 5. Closer 6. Feel the sun. There are up beat and rocky songs like: 1. Goin Down 2. Go And then there are the two best songs on the album. Firstly comes 'Never be the same again'. This song has it all, and proved it when it topped the charts. It has a good rythm, and a good piece of rapping at the end by Lisa 'left Eye' Lopez. And secondly, the song which was never released, ...

Review of Northern Star - Melanie C

When Mel C first went solo, I though, uh oh, another Spice Girl about to go downhill. But what a (Nothern) Star she is turning out to be. (excuse the punn hehe) Her debut album I think is excellent. She has such a great, and strong voice. Her singles seem to be getter better and better with each one released. They are very catchy tunes too. You just need to hear them a couple of times and then you find yourself whistling it during the day, well ...

Review of Northern Star - Melanie C

What an excellent album Northern Star is! Mel C has proven she has what it takes to be a star in her own right. This album has fantastic lyrics, great music and caters for most tastes. Mel has a fabulously strong voice and certainly knows how to use it to her best advantage. I expected nothing more than another ex-spice girl gone solo, but what a breath of fresh air this album turned out to be. I would definately recommend this album as a must have, ...

Review of Northern Star - Melanie C

Mel C is turning out to be the Spice Girl who actually has talent. Don't believe me? Check out her debut album. This is an impressive effort from a determined woman with an incredibly strong voice. There are rocky tracks like "Goin' Down" and "Ga Ga", ballads like "I Turn To You" (recently remixed for single release) and "Northern Star", and uplifting but meaningful songs along the lines of "If That Were Me" and "Suddenly Monday". Whatever you ...

Review of Northern Star - Melanie C

...who could sing. So when Northern Star came out, I heard a few of the songs and I was surprised how good it was. It was really good and for a first debut solo album it was a job well done. Although, Geri has done brilliantly well in her solo career I expect Melanie C to go on and do much better. Her singles which she have been released have all done well, songs like 'Northern Star' 'Never be the same again' and 'I turn to you' have all done well in ...
...C she's taken some flack from the media about her weight and has even admitted to suffering from depression, but hopefully her success will cheer her up. My favourite song was 'Never be the same again' it has the RnB style which was good and showed what a good artist she was, and that she could do a number of styles It also featured Left Eye from the girl band TLC. I also like ‘I turn to you’ which is a very good song, the videos to the ...

...went to Number 4, then Northern Star which also go to Number 4, she then had her first ever uk solo number one when she realeased the brilliant Never be the same again which feautured Lisa 'Left-eye' Lopes. mThen cam the brilliant dance anthem 'I turn to you' which gave her second number. Her next one off the album will be 'If that were me' which will probably give her another number one. ...

Review of Northern Star - Melanie C

...released as singles such as Northern Star, I Turn To You, GaGa, and Never Be The Same Again, but even so this is still a class album. I'm sure this album would suit most people, its not all poppy and glam, like the awful Spice Girls, its more right from the heart type material, with Mel C backing it up all the way with her really strong excellent voice. This would definately be a must if your contemplating buying it for anyone for Christmas. When ...

Review of Northern Star - Melanie C

This has got to be one of my favourite albums about at the present moment. It never leaves my compact disc player – this compact disc offers a superb range of music from dance to real indie stuff. My personal favourite is ‘ I turn to you ‘ – when ever I hear this tune when I am out for a night I go mad wanting to dance. This is one of my all time favourite dance tunes. I also love ‘Never be the same again’ and ‘Northern Star’ – these are two of the ...

Review of Northern Star - Melanie C

Well who would have thought that the ugly one of the spice girls would do solo work. Okay so she ims the one who can sing, but she does have an irriatating voice. I must admit that there are several good songs, Going Down, GaGa and Never be the same again. However the rest of the album is mostly twaddle and the last few songs just tortured. Her voice gets too squeely in some of the songs and she should really stick to the spice girls. As a song writer ...

Review of Northern Star - Melanie C

The best thing Mel C ever did was to go solo, I always thought that it was Mel B who was the strong one with the Spice Girls but looking at the way their solo hits are going Mel C is runnig away and well and truly leaving the others behind. She has such a strong voice and can make different songs to meet her mood, she has not really got one style, some of her records are slow and chilling out music and others can be dance tracks and others even ...
...Even if you never liked Sporty Spice which I must admit I never, the Nothern Star album is still well worth a listen to. I am looking forward to hearing more of her work in the future as long as she is alone and not hooked up with the other 3 hangers on. ...

Review of Northern Star - Melanie C

Out of all the albums I have purchased in the pass number of years this is my all time favourite one. This ex- spice girl is first class – her style is brilliant. Out of all the spice girls she is the only one to produce anything that one could say is decent to listen to. My favourite song is ‘ I turn to you’ and if you are like me a clubber then you will no doubt have heard the club remix which is first class. I also really like ‘things will never ...

Review of Northern Star - Melanie C

"Goin' Down" what a great gutsy song. Based on this track you'd imagine that the rest of the CD would be a controversial rock album. Well, that's it I'm afraid. "Ga Ga" gets close but the rest of the CD is distinctly mainstream. That's not to say that there aren't any other good songs on the album. "Northern Star" and "I Turn To You" are good in an instantly forgetable kind of way and a lot of people seem to like "Never Be The Same Again" for some ...

...then Mel c's debut album, Northern Star would be one of those sampler dishes in resturants with a bit of everything. This unique album covers all music tastes with the excellent rnb never be the same again right through to the 60's mod style, suddenly monday. For the clubbers there is the madonna/ ray of light inspired turn to you, which is one of my favourite songs on the album. If you have an open mind towards music and can appreciate all styles ...

...powerful voice shining through. Northern Star, Never be the same again, Going Down, I turn to you, strong powerful tracks displaying Mel C at her best. The spice girls should be buried now and let her concentrate on her own career. With her voice and some well wrote songs Mel C can become one of the all time lady singers. ...

...like I turn to you, Northern Star and Never be the same again, Melanie has notched up two well deserved number one singles and an album that has sold stackloads. The album itself is really good and has some fantastic tracks on it. Out of all the Spice Girls, it is definitely Mel C that has produced the best solo material and I hope she continues to produce stuff this good. ...
