Review - Amazon.com :
At the tender age of 14, Stacie Orrico is poised to become an influential voice of her generation; her debut release Genuine not only unveils a dazzling voice, but it radiates her generation's slick, urban pop cool. Discovered at a Christian artist seminar in 1998, Stacie was signed to Forefront Records at age 12 and has been working with industry heads, fashioning a career since. The songs on this project speak honestly and practically to Stacie's peer group about issues of Christian living, and its urban flair fits right into the mix of mainstream radio. Competing side by side with the likes of Britney Spears, Stacie's first single, the groove-heavy "Don't Look at Me," points to Christ as the only true example of perfection and virtue. This infusion of God's truth into today's urban pop brings a refreshing perspective. --Israel ButtonCustomer review - 2001-06-08
- Stacie is truly GenuineAfter quickly looking over all the reviews I realized no one rated the songs off her album, so here goes:] 1. Ride- Fast and cute song which says if you wanna take a ride on the other side with God. 5/5 2. Don't Look at Me- Stacie's first single, which points to God as the perfect example, not to herself. 5/5 3. O.O Baby- At first I didn't like the computer sounding music, but the lyrics are great for teens and preteens. 4/5 4. Without Love- GREAT song. I love the really simple but special lyrics. 5/5 5. Stay True- A funky urban sounding song that quickly became one of my favorites. 5/5 6. Genuine- Cool song that talks about acceptance- the music video to the song rocks. 5/5 7. With a Little Faith- At first I liked this song but they over play it on the radio. 3/5 8. So Pray- The begining of the song it sounds slow, but has lots of attitude. 4/5 9. Holdin' On- This is a groovy song but it sounds as if more than one person is singing. 4/5 10. Restore My Soul- Oooo I love this song! It has a great message. 5/5 11. Confidant- When I got this CD {the day it came out} I really didn't listen to this song a whole lot, but lately it's become one of my favorites. 5/5 12. Everything- This song is a lot like O.O Baby but slower. 5/5 13. Dear Friend- A sweet balled. She played this song in concert it was so sweet. 5/5 Customer review - 2000-09-14
- Not just another pop queenGenuine is on an entirely different level from the candy-coated teen pop we're too used to hearing. It's fresh, relevant, and to-the-point. I can't say I completely loved every single track the first time I listened through the CD, but now I appreciate each song for the messages each conveys -- read the lyrics! I also appreciate Stacie's not shoving her voice in her listeners' face. She doesn't overdo the vocal acrobatics, yet she effectively displays her talent. (Less is more!) I truly hope that if any of your friends start raving about the pop stars of the secular world, you will whip out the liner notes to this CD and say, "Some of those teen stars are talented, but they're shallow. Read this. Listen to this. It's genuine." [I remember hearing Stacie sing "Household of Faith" at school (King's Elementary) when she was about 5 years old. I must have been about 7; I thought she was talented then. Imagine my surprise when I got a sample music CD and saw her name! She's gone a long way.]

- Awesome talkent and awesome voice!Stacie has a wonderful voice and is incredibly talented! Her music is catchy and positive and is flavored with both pop and R&B sounds. Both her voice and songs are similar to those of Britney Spears, Christina Agularia and the like. The songs are very upbeat and happy. One of my favorites is "Dear Friend"-it really pulls at your heart if you know the story behind it! This is a wonderful CD! Buy it today!

- The best Christian CD ever!Stacie Orrico has managed to take Christian music to another level with Genuine! Anyone who dares to call her "the Britney Spears of Christian music" needs a wake-up call! Britney is awesome, but Stacie will put her to shame! Such songs as Don't Look At Me, O.O. Baby, Stay True, and Holdin' On both have a groove and a message. Then, there's the ballads, like Without Love, Everything, and Dear Friend, a song Stacie herself wrote for her anorexic friend. This album is filled, not with artificial things, but that which is genuine...no pun intended. Although Stacie has tapped into the teen pop phenomenon respresented by such secular artists as Mandy Moore, Christina Aguilera, and of course, Britney Spears, Stacie sings about real life issues, such as peer pressure, idolizing someone else, temptation to do wrong, and even marriage and dating. Stacie is the coolest Christian singer ever. Rock on!
