"I don't consider myself a "pop" person, but this cd is really catchy! A lot of the songs are upbeat and fun to listen to and are fast becoming favorites.
"Dive In" has a rock-inspired sound. Reminisce with "Let's Bounce" which has an 80's feel to it. "Anyone But Me" is a self-esteem booster with a little more rock-edgyness to it. Relax with her beautiful rendition of "Colors of the Wind." Like Techno? Just "Say The Word" and you got it! "Could It Be" is a great friendship-turns-to-romance song. Let "Dream Vacation" take you away to the summertime. And the remake of "Teacher's Pet" will entertain a whole new generation.
Overall this cd is really enjoyable and replay value is high. If you're a fan or if you got kids, you won't be disappointed."
Christy Carlson Romano - Not Your Average "Disney Chick"

"Christy isn't your average "Disney Chick" - she's been singing since the age of three, starred in movies such as "Everyone Says I Love You" and "Looking For an Echo", had a 32 week run as the youngest Belle in "Beauty and the Beast" on Broadway, and was the first to ever star in three Disney productions at the same time ("Kim Possible", "Even Stevens", and the movie "Cadet Kelly"). With a history like that, who could ever doubt that her first CD release wouldn't be phenomenal? With old favorites like "Say the Word", and "Teacher's Pet" - to the newer releases such as "Let's Bounce" (this on a soundtrack that just went gold) - mixed with brand new titles "Could it Be", and the upbeat and wonderfully produced "Dive In", this CD is awesome from beginning to end. It's a jumping off point for Christy, paving the way to her first solo CD (which is rumored to be released sometime in the year 2005) - it gives fans something to listen to and enjoy until her own music is available. This CD is fast becoming one of my all time favorites everytime I listen to it."
FANTASTIC!

"I personally have found this CD to be the best I have heard in awhile. Christy is a wonderful performer and she has proven this on Broadway and on her TV shows. Dive In is a wonderful, uplifting song as well as many other songs such as Let's Bounce and Anyone But Me. The songs have morals like Say the Word (people care about you) and Anyone But Me (just be yourself). She has wonderful vocals and is an all around nice person which shows through in her music. I would recomend this album to anybody who wants REAL music."
Rock On!

"1) Dive In- 10/10 Love it! It's fun! Nice melody. Not much voice change though.
3) Anyone But Me- 10/10 Sounds good...Love the lyrics, too!
4) Colors of the Wind- 10/10+ Nice melody and nice voice, might of exaggerate it a little, but I still don't get bored of it!
5) Say the Word- 10/10+ OMG, this is like the only sound (to me), with the most hip and bump in Christy's voice. You'll agree.
6) Could It Be- 9/10 Nice melody, suits the kind of song that would fit into Kim Possible's life.
7) Dream Vacation- 9/10 Can really set you imagining summertime!
8) Teacher's Pet- 9/10 Sounds really good, and it definitely kinda must've boosted me up on homework!
I would recommend this CD to anyone who love Disney music! It's a great CD, though I was hoping for more songs! Well, I can't wait 'till the second album! (I've listened to the music as I did my review! I'm pretty sure those scores are for real!)"
Great album! Love Christy Carlson Romano!

"This is a great album! I like the work of Christy Carlson Romano, especially the Kim Possible series/films ("Say the word" is a hit!) and her version of composer Alan Menken's "Colors of the Wind" from the classic Pocahontas. Highlights: Say the Word, Could It Be, Dream Vacation, Colors of the Wind.
