So...Australian singer Vanessa Amorosi, who is hugely underrated due to the fact that she has an astonishingly powerful voice, is back with another new album and the first single, This Is Who I Am, has quickly gone to #1 on Australia's iTunes :wub:

 

she is best known here for 2000 UK #7 hit Absolutely Everybody, before she disappeared without trace, despite the lovely Shine having been scheduled as a second single...

 

she returned in 2007 with a fairly average album (although it did have good singles, Perfect was absolutely excellent and reached #4 in Australia) but it looks like this will be her true comeback...

 

This Is Who I Am is very Kelly Clarkson/Pink-lite and generic but absolutely stands out for me thanks to her still amazingly powerful vocals and the bizarre guitar riff which sounds like a laughter track :lol: would be nice to see it given a push/Radio 1 support here next year, would be nice to see a Robyn-style, 10 year chart gap comeback!

 

Absolutely Everybody

 

 

This Is Who I Am

 

shame on me for not sending this one in XXI :snif:

would have got my 12 :P without a doubt her best song for almost 10 years :drama: of course this included 5 years of her living isolated on a farm or something :lol:

seriously I made the biggest mistake in my BJSC life :P

 

and I'm sure by XXII will be too late :nocheer:

yeah maybe, or else somebody else will send it anyway

I haven't heard 'Absolutely Everybody' since it was out, that's a real blast from the past. Rediscovery ahoy.

 

The new song is very generic. :(

it's generic but it grows like a fungus, I wasn't interested on first listen but it really went straight into my head unconsciously, I couldn't stop humming it, and I absolutely love it now :heart:

 

a big step up from her last 'comeback' single, Kiss Ya Mama

even tho 'perfect' only reached #4 here, it was a massive single, think it was the most played song on radio last year. (should have been lead single)

i don't think she's ever topped The Power or Absolutely Everybody, althought Perfect did come close

yeah maybe, or else somebody else will send it anyway

 

:kink:

i don't think she's ever topped The Power or Absolutely Everybody, althought Perfect did come close

 

her debut album is one of my favourite pop albums of all time, she just has an incredible voice

 

Perfect would indeed have been perfect had it not felt like it was ending as soon as it got really interesting

just debuted officially at #1 in Australia! Her first chart topper there, that is truly a Robyn-esque comeback :D

 

hope she releases it here, although I can't see it happening :lol:

good job to beat Robbies bodies (#4) and Britneys 3 (#7) which were released the same week. she is still top of itunes with Robbie falling to 6(from2) and brit up 1 to #4

 

 

love this song but the video lets it down :( so cheap !

 

I :heart: Absolutely Everybody. This is really good as well. For me it doesn't have to grow. I quite like it on first listen. :P

love this song but the video lets it down :( so cheap !

 

touche! but im loving her new ranga hairstyle :wub:

Still totally obsessed by this song! I'm still hoping that it will get a UK release - I think it will be huge here :wub:

touche! but im loving her new ranga hairstyle :wub:

 

ranga?

 

is this the Australian word for ginger? :lol: (redhead)

 

she always did have a slight reddish tint to her hair back in the day I seem to recall, maybe it was just some of the lighting in her videos :lol:

what's this of a UK release I read on the front page :o

 

this is possibly the greatest news I've heard since Release Me was picked up here :w00t:

I'm pretty sure that 'laughter track guitar bit' you talk about is a voice-box rather than a guitar. I loved AE at the time, it's a bit too cheesy for my tastes now though. The new one's in the Kelly Clarkson mould, but I fear that it'll be remixed for the UK audiences.
