The album is pure pop. Katharine wants to be a pop star, no doubt. I thought of Britney, Christina and JoJo while listening through. And I'm a sucker for pop music, so I really want to love this album. But I just don't think I do. The lyrics aren't fabulous as a whole and most of the ballads were simply boring. But the good news is that doesn't mean this album is a flop. I have decided that being pop music, the goal for it is to be popular. Ok, duh, I know. And that being said, she sounds great on here and I do think she has several songs that could easily be overplayed on your local Top 40 station, added to our iTunes playlists and then disappear altogether a few weeks or months later. OK, that was said a little tongue in cheeck and maybe a little harsh. But really it's true.

Take Open Toes for example. That song makes me want to dance every time I listen to it and I can definitely hear it on the radio but I can not get over the lyrics! Open Toes? Really? I suppose if Fergie's lyrics can make it to radio with success, it has a shot but I always hope for so much more every time I hear it. And if it does have radio success, I don't imagine it carrying any weight in a few years. Just to be clear, I'm not dissing Fergie too much..hey, I was a Kids Incorporated fan too and she sounded great on American Idol this season. I'm just sayin' I don't think songs like London Bridge or Open Toes have too much longevity to them.

As for her current single Over It, she did well picking that as the first single as it's easily the best song on there. I can listen to that on repeat with no problems. Others that I think have a chance...Love Story, Home, Not Ur Girl, Do What You Do, Dangerous and Neglected. So see, that's not bad. So what's my recommendation? Save yourself a few dollars and buy the singles you like as they become popular on the radio.
