Overlooked Pop Albums
By an Amazon.com customer
Somewhere in the Real WorldSomewhere in the Real World by Vanessa Amorosi
Buy new: $35.49 / Used from: $22.97
Vanessa has an amazing voice and has written some brilliant tracks on this album. Her best work to date and much more deserving of success than most of the stuff out today
Traveling LightTraveling Light by Courtney Jaye
Buy new: $8.99 / Used from: $0.93
This is one of my favourite albums. She's a folksy Michelle Branch-esque singer who writes all her own stuff and has a mesmorising voice
Kari Kimmel - a life in the dayKari Kimmel - a life in the day by Kari Kimmel
Buy new: $18.99 / Used from: $13.94
This is a brilliant cd by a talented young singer/ songwriter
ConstantineConstantine
Buy new: $11.99 / Used from: $0.93
Most American Idol albums are crap. This one though is surprisingly good. Its nothing groundbreakig, true, but if you like decent, catchy songs by someone who can actually sing then this might be for you.
This Crazy LifeThis Crazy Life by Joanna
Buy new: $9.98 / Used from: $0.24
Geffen artist Joanna Pacitti has a good voice and catchy tunes. Similar to Kelly Clarkson's second album
In Your Own TimeIn Your Own Time by Mark Owen
Buy used from: $26.69
Mark Owen's solo career was not a success. I don't understand why as this album is brilliant. It includes the single 4 Minute Warning and is a catchy pop/indie selection
Come and Get ItCome and Get It by Rachel Stevens
Buy new: $14.98 / Used from: $4.94
This album went pretty much under the radar with nowhere near the success of her previous effort despite it being a million times better. Similar to Kylie's last few albums, this is funky and fresh
Who We AreWho We Are by Hope Partlow
Buy used from: $1.05
Similar sound to Avril but much more genuine.
Still Doin' My ThingStill Doin' My Thing by Hinda Hicks
Buy new: $29.99 / Used from: $16.21
Hinda went relatively unnoticed in the early '00s. Such a shame because she's incredibly talented. Soulful pop/R&B
Audio Day DreamAudio Day Dream by Blake Lewis
Buy new: $10.99 / Used from: $0.19
Another rare American Idol album; i.e a good one. Sounds like 80s electro-pop. Innovative, fresh and tres funky
In ReturnIn Return by Shola Ama
Buy new: $30.98 / Used from: $1.62
All Day Every DayAll Day Every Day by N-Tyce
Buy used from: $13.20
Overlooked in favour of the tone-deaf All Saints.
