What to talk about

Talk to your kids
Families can talk about what it would be like to work in the same field as a very successful older sibling.

What's the story?

What's the story?
New Zealand-born Natasha Bedingfield, just a step or two behind her older brother Daniel Bedingfield, seems to be taking the British pop music world by storm. Her debut album, UNWRITTEN, is filled with appealing, hook-filled pop tunes. Produced with loving care and performed with enough talent and passion to pull it off, the songs themselves don't have all that much to say, but they say it very well.

Is it any good?

Is it any good?
 
The real star of Unwritten is a combination of Bedingfield's sweet, smooth delivery and the expertise of a skillful production team. Romantic and subtle, her ballads work as successfully as her energetic dance tunes, and will resonate especially with young girls thinking about all that love stuff for the first time. Natasha Bedingfield is definitely a bright new star, worth keeping an eye -- or making a wish -- on.

Excellent
Natasha's songs are for all ages and deliver a good message. Lately in order for songs to be popular they would have to talk about sex, drugs and violence. But one song "these words" is harmless and has a good message for kids.

My favorite : ))
This a truly amazing CD..well-worth the money. The songs are devoid of sex and violence, but not preachy and still cool.
