I love her !

Natasha Bedingfield is one of my favourite artists, I first discovered her back in 2005 when she was promoting her first album in Europe (Yeah .. I always get into other countries' music ha). When I first saw her video for "These Words" (whic later trned into a smash hit all over the world) I thought the concept was really original and fresh as well as the song, as I carried on discovering the rest of her singles until that stage ("Single" and "Unwritten") I fell i love with her especially 'cos of her amazing lyrics, when I realised the album was being sold over here in Mexico I immediately bought it and I enjoyed ever song on it.

When I read about her plans to make it in the US I thought she'd be a huge flop 'cos well US people are not into that kinda music however she really amazed me because her debut single "Unwritten" (alongside with a new video) achieved a lot of fame in the US so as a consequence her debut album was big in te US as well, I fetl really happy and proud of her because I know she deserves that and more since she's a true artist.

Last year she released her second album in Europe, N.B., and to be honest I expected more from it however I liked it and felt happy when her first single from N.B., "I Wanna Have Your Babies", charted at number 7 in the UK however I was sure that if she released that song in the US she'd flop for real bt again.. the clever lady knew she had to work on something stronger in order to carry on with her success in the US so not so long ago she released her second album in the US; Pocketful Of Sunshine, which is almost as perfect as her first album. I can say I love every song on that album however there's one that I could say is the best one and it's called "Freckles" I can say I feel really identified with that song because of the lyrics, I never thought I was an ugly guy or anything like that but anlazying the song from a deeper side I was really excited when I listened to the chorus because it's really true and special. All can say right now is that she's a great musician and well I jus love this song, wheever I listen it I feel chills down my spine 'cos it really motivates me... here are the lyrics:

hum, hum, hum...hum, hum
i used to care so much about what others think about
i almost didn't have a thought of my own
the slightest remark would make me embark of the journey of self - doubt
but that was a while ago
this girl has got stronger
and if i knew then what i know now i would've told myself don't worry any longer
it's ok...

cuz a face without freckles is like a sky without the stars
why waste a second, not loving who you are
those little imperfections make you beautiful, loveable, valuable
they show your personality...inside your heart

reflecting who you are
(who you are, who you are, who you are) whoa ooh whoa ooh whoa
yea, yea, uh

i wondered if i could trade my body with somebody else in magazine
Would the whole world fall at my feet
I fell down, worthy
& would blame my failures on the ugliness I could see
when the mirror looked at me
(some times I feel)
Sometimes i still feel like the little girl who doesnt belong in her own world
but im getting better at reminding myself...
