Her american CD is basicly a compilation of her biggest hits from Germany/England ect... Except its missing her best song and her first #1, "From Sarah With Love" is strangely absent.
1. Bounce-10/10, Everybody has heard it. Never gets old. Her biggest hit in the US. Honestly a Good song. Super Catchy will have you dancing.
"Bounce baby out the door, i ain't gonna take this no more"
2. French Kissing-9.8/10, A good sultry and sexy song. She sounds so hott when she sings this song. Her voice is so sexual in this song she even gives her classic power vocal at the end. GREAT
"give it baby give it in the car, take it baby take it wherever you are"
3. Lets Get Back To Bed - Boy!-7.5/10, Not bad just not may favorite from this CD. She has her voice digitalized in it but it sounds good.
"April til' November i will kiss you tender"
4. Skin On Skin-10/10, A classic Sarah Connor ballad, starts off sweet and whispery but in the end she power vocalizes it. She sounds great and does that awesome Power Grunt thing in her voice which i love! especially with her. One of the best songs on the album.
"This Game Is To Play Dont You That Its Time And You See That My Hearts Gotta Know When Your Gonna Be Mine"
[I love when she grunts the know part]
5. One Nite Stand (Of Wolves And Sheep)-10/10, Laughable in parts but awesome the chorus is awesome she says it so fast im surprised taht i could understand her. About a guy that she wanted as a friend that turned into a One Nite Stand. Hilarious last line "Ladies if you must have it make sure he wears a profilatic"
"Don't Feel Sad, Bad, Mad Cuz' I Too been through the rain and i can feel your pain, Momma said there'd be days like these and im telling you ladies look out for the wolves that dress like sheep"
6. He's Unbelieveable-8/10, A good song. But not as good as some other songs on this cd.
"Should I Dress In High heels should i go out in my blue jeans"
7. Music Is The Key-10/10, Reminds me a lot of One Sweet Day by Mariah and Boys II Men. Is a duet with her husbands band Natural 7. Very uplifting and great!
"Whenever your falling down, Hopeless and pushed around, Find Your Own Melody, Trust me that Music Is The Key"
8. Love Is Color-Blind-9/10, Good song proving you dont have to be the same nationality to be in love.
"It don't matter if your black, white or yellow, if yer brown or red, Lets get down to that love is colorblind"
9. I'm Gonna Find You-10/10, Another Sarah ballad. But a great song at that. Probably my favorite song on the CD.
"I Know I'm Gonna Find you, The Day i Come You'll Open Up The Door"
10. In My House-6/10, To much dance pop
"I'll be your sugar in the morning and that sweet stuff you need at night"
11. Turn Off The Lights-8/10, One of the sluttiest songs I've ever heard...I LOVE IT! A little to jazzy though
"Turn off the lights and close the door this is the night we've been wating for"
over all 2 thumbs up, This is a great CD.
After listening to this album, you may say Sure, It's not a 10+ Million selling record, but to be a debut album, there's some pretty good music on this CD. People say Sarah stole Bounce from Mary J Blige, Ok, Let's be fair, who's cracking on Jessica Simpson for singing Take my Breath Away, (NO-ONE) Who's Hating on Alison Krouse, a MULTI Grammy Winner, who started her Career by singing, When you Say Nothing at All by Keith Whitley. So what if Sarah borrowed some beats. She asn't got sued yet, so it doesn't look like Mary J Blige is too upset. At least it sounds good, and pays tribute to Mary J Blige by using the beat for a good song. Sarah has taken a lot of heat, but not much of it is justified. Listen to the vocals on French Kissing and the other songs, and you'll see, there's definitely talent here, and even more in the making for this Hot Young Lady.
I was rather surprised to hear Sarah Connor's song Bounce on the radio the other day, especially since her 3rd CD was recently released in Germany and Bounce is from her 2nd CD.
I'm reluctant to give this CD a lower rating, since Sarah's songs are all spectacular, but I'm rather shocked at how paltry the selection on this CD is. It seems to be an amalgam of her three albums that are available in Europe, but at only eleven tracks, it's rather disappointing. Her three CDs in their original form all have many more tracks on them.
For a fuller picture of her work, check out the imports Green Eyed Soul, Unbelievable, and Key To My Soul. Key To My Soul is much more soulful than her first two and shows her taking on a more mature sound.
Why is it so hard for artists from europe to get respect and acceptance in the USA ? Sarah Connor is so talented ! Ok, she is doing R&B-Pop like so many other ladies nowadays but there is a huge differenz - SHE CAN SING ! She doesnt need to show her boobies to promote her songs and her voice is much better than janets and J.LOs together !! Yes, she used some samples in her songs but whats wrong about it ?? Other people are doing it all the time, especially in the USA. Unfortunately the record company put all these songs together on one album and thats why some people are complaining. I have all her albums and i know her songs are not just cheap copies of other former hits !! Everybody who wanna know how talented she is should WATCH OUT FOR HER LIVE DVD ! Pop meets Classic ! This dvd is amazing !
Her first US-album contains songs from her 3 albums which were really successful in europe ! This cd is good but some great songs are missing : From sarah with love ( her biggest hit in europe ) and Just one last dance ( her last number one in germany )
I can not understand why epic was so stupid and didnt put these songs on the record !? Strange... Bounce, One night stand, french kissing, skin on skin, music is the key, unbelievable are my favorite songs on this album. If she spends enough time in USA to promote her music, she will make it there. Sarah, if the americans dont want you- come back to germany !!! :-) We know how good you are !!
I'm a fan of Sarah Connor...and her US debut is good, although it is pretty weak for most of the songs after "He's Unbelievable". The song, "Love Is Color-Blind" with TQ is great and her cover of the Mary Jane Girls' "In My House" is fab. I also like "Bounce" and "French Kissing". Sarah has a great voice and it's a shame that the people at Epic left off one of her best songs, "From Sarah With Love". Where did they get the idea that it was okay to leave off one of her best hits from her US debut? I'd also like to know who's idea it was to use pictures from her first album, "Green Eyed Soul" that came out a few years ago... Not the best idea.... Nonetheless, I like Sarah's US debut....I hope that she's a success here...and maybe her record company here will think in the future when deciding what to release here from her.
