"Hi, I'm from Mexico and I listened the Natasha Thomas Album last month over the internet. I think she is a great danish singer, I love all her songs. I known her since I saw the Lacoste commercials on TV, the one announcing the brand and the other one that announces the "Touch of Pink" Perfume. I recommend the songs "It's over now", "Save the kisses for me" and " Why (does your love)". I love her!!!!! She is beautiful!!!! She looks like an angel!!!!"

OK for Pop

"I pride myself in having outgrown my "pop" years, but quite frankly, every now and then I listen to pop for it's catchy tunes (which you must admit, even when it's bad, it gets stuck in the ol' noggin') and then there's the sense that you might be "missing out on something".
I stumbled across this performer through an ad campaign for Lacoste perfume. Her voice is airy, and although I've yet to see a video from her (yes, I probably am living in a cave)I assume she will go the same route as her Britney-Christina counterparts with lots of dancing and backup dancers; her lyrics are sweet, and the music is over-produced, but hopefully that's her real voice coming through.
The song that brought me to this album was "Let me show you the way", which was featured in the ad. The album title "Save Your Kisses" has the same music, but with different lyrics. I must say that this is clear proof that Europop is much more appealing to me than its American counterpart. I have to say that the Ace of Base feeling is palpable throughout the album, and it's most evident in "It's over now" and "Why does it hurt so much", where you half expect her to switch to "All that she wants" instead. (Also, "Young and Carefree" fits that description).
The track "More than friends" is reminescent of Stacie Orrico, and "I'm Just a Little Bit Shy" might be used as a music cue on a TV show soon (seems like a mood-setter).
I don't know, I might be jaded; after all, I've been there to see many popsters come and go, and some even evolve into more serious performers (as is Mandy Moore's case), but Ms. Thomas doesn't have the groovy depth of Joss Stone, and the fact that she's the product of Europop doesn't help matters much. Let's remind ourselves that it took Kylie Minogue almost 15 years to get back on the U.S. playlists, while she was a hit in Europe and Australia.
I liked it, might play it in the car, or may jog to it, but I'm not sure I'd miss this CD if it got lost, and I might not even replace it."
Above Average for the Genre

"I'm probably not the target audience for this music, as my tastes run toward music of more depth. But as light bubblegum music goes, this is better than most. The songs are melodically simple and lyrically banal: All of the songs are typical "girl meets boy, girl breaks up with boy" lyrics; and the songs are so cookie-cutter that they kind of mush together--in fact, they're so identical, "Let Me Show You the Way" and the title track are the exact same song with different lyrics! Still, unlike other selections from the genre (Britney Spears, et al), I find all of the songs at least acceptable, and some, like "Rollercoaster Ride," "Loving You Is Not Easy," and "Young Hearts" quite enjoyable.
But the import price is worth it ONLY if you get the enhanced version with the music videos. Natasha is gorgeous, and the videos show Her off in a swimsuit, tight jeans, short shorts, and a cheerleader outfit. The downside is that the video player on the disc does not include a freeze-frame function (even more inexecusable, it includes no rewind or fast forward--what the heck?!). But if you don't blink, you do get to see a couple of nice butt shots in the "Save Your Kisses" video. That alone is worth the price."
