With its rich film catalog, Disney has a natural advantage when it comes to expanding into musical theater. But 1999's Tarzan wasn't the very best choice for a stage adaptation. Unlike, say, Beauty and the Beast, whose score was written by show-tune vets, Tarzan was associated with a musical-theater newbie, Phil Collins, who expanded his original score for the show, writing nine new numbers in addition to the five from the movie. But while he does come up with agreeable pop melodies (as, for instance, the hit "You'll Be in My Heart" and the new "Waiting for This Moment" and "For the First Time"), his greenness shows in the lyrics, which tend to spell things out way too much ("In learning you will teach/And in teaching you will learn," etc.) This CD certainly is kid-friendly, but unlike the best Disney material, it lacks that extra layer that would entice adults as well. --Elisabeth Vincentelli

5 out of 5 stars Cool.......2007-08-04

This music is awesome. I love the show. And I love the music.
If you see the Brodway show than you have to buy this music cd.
Great music.
Also it arrived in time.

5 out of 5 stars Fantastic.......2007-06-12

Every song is excellent. If you saw the play, this is a must have.

5 out of 5 stars Amazing.......2007-04-03

I'm hoping that someday there will be a touring company of Tarzan that will be coming to Chicago, so I wanted to have the Broadway cast recording so that I would know the songs that were added to the Broadway show to help expand the animated film. I know that the songs from the movie are amazing, and hopefully, so are the new ones. With Phil Collins doing the new songs for the Broadway show, it will be awesome.

5 out of 5 stars I LOVE this music.......2007-01-30

I was very excited to hear that "Tarzan," one of my favorite Disney movies was being made into a musical. Being a theatre major in school, I had to buy the soundtrack as soon as I found out. The music was beautifully written, the singers all sound wonderful, and frankly, I can't wait to see the show!! I have read some reviews before I bought it and one thing that really bothered me was some close-minded person who complained that the lyrics didn't rhyme. Well, no, not all of it does, but that's what makes this music so beautiful. People always automatically think that lyrics have to rhyme, but I find the best songs to be where the lyrics don't necessarily rhyme and the music is beautiful; songs like the ones in this show. I highly recommend this soundtrack to everyone.

3 out of 5 stars Not quite there........2007-01-17

While some of the numbers were really great. Its evident that Broadway isn't Phil Collins calling. As an album it meets expectations, as a big production-its not quite as great as it should and could be. He has yet to expand some of the songs and make them into typical big broadway numbers. Theres too much pop in it, the music and lyrics are too simple. Collins music is missing an element if you were to look at it as a broadway production. It sounds virtually the same as the Disney, with just some different intrumentals-not good as a show. I think this show has the potential to be absolutely mind blowing if they heighten everything.

This cd contains all the great songs that make us so love Anastacia. She is at her best and a must have for your collection.

5 out of 5 stars You can never go wrong with Anastacia.......2007-01-01

Good mix of her greatest songs. Although it is hard because I think all her songs are great.

5 out of 5 stars Catch up to Europe.......2006-11-04

Anastacia is HUGE in Europe - hopefully here in the US we'll catch up to Europe. If you're considering checking out Anastacia this is the album to do it. She has too many great songs to list them all here. To describe Anastacia you have to picture the body of a blond Shania Twain with the voice of Taylor Dayne. Her music can be considered Euro Pop or Top 40 rock. If you check her out you won't regret it.

5 out of 5 stars What a beautiful sound.......2006-04-23

Paid My Dues is wonderful,I'm Outta Love, Left Outside Alone,Sick and Tired are also super!.I Belong to You is as good as the others.I think these 5 songs are even enough.Anastacia has a unique and very beautiful sound.

5 out of 5 stars Anastacia Pieces of a Dream LIMITED EDITION.......2006-02-22

I absolutely love this collection; it is her best. Any one that is looking for a great collection on a great artist; this is it. I for one; would have rather have other versions of her remixed songs; but they will suffice. I love Anastasia; she's a wonderful artist, a talented woman and a survivor.

Anastacia, the self-titled third album from the former wedding singer picks up where Freak of Nature left off, completing her transformation from disco-pop diva to full-on rock goddess. "Seasons Change" opens the album with a nu-metal guitar riff and pretty much sets the tone for the other 11 songs. Lead single "Left Outside Alone" demonstrates the diversity of Anastacia's voice: she starts off very pronounced in an Evanescence style before going back to her old self. Sadly, the vocals are more restrained than usual, with only a few songs showing off her range. The ballad "Heavy On My Heart" builds to some dynamic choruses, reminiscent of Joe Cocker's screaming rendition of "With a Little Help from My Friends" but the only time Anastacia really lets loose is on "Sexy Single," where her distinctive nasal vibrato loosens up and puts a real feel into the music. It's a shame there are none of the funk or disco numbers that made her debut so explosive but with such a unique voice, Anastacia could sing anything and it would sound great. --David Trueman

Customer Reviews:

5 out of 5 stars She's Absolutely Fantastic--again!.......2006-12-16

Another terrific CD that hits right on. Sometimes when I listen to new music it takes awhile for songs to "grow" on me, but not this CD--every single song had the beat, the words, right on target! I hope she never gets discouraged by lack of recognition in the U.S. because it would be so sad to lose this talent.

5 out of 5 stars SIMPLY THE BEST!!!!.......2006-05-15

A friend lent me Anastacia's first CD years ago and I was amazed by her voice. On a recent trip to Europe, I found this album in one of the music stores and since then have become a true Anastacia fan. This is definitely her best album to date, and one of the greatest rock albums put out in a long time. There isn't one track that I skip on this cd! It is a wonder how an artist as talented as Anastacia is so overlooked in the U.S.

4 out of 5 stars New Anastacia different but good.......2006-02-03

I found this new CD to be quite a reversal of her previous 2 cd's. Not the pumping dance beat I'd come to expect from her (and prefer) but it's got more heart, and I love "Welcome to my Truth", "Sick and Tired", and "Left Outside Alone". Those 3 alone make paying $23.00 for an import well worth it.

5 out of 5 stars Anastacia I Love You!!!!.......2005-10-12

It is a dame shame that Anastacia does not the Atettion she devirse in America.I mean this album is great more of a Rock/Pop sound come pare to her last 2 cd's which had a more Dance/Pop sound to them.Her voice never sound's so good and she looks great.My favorite song on here is Left Outside Alone it went to number #1 in Europe and Austria and this cd also went to #1 in Europe and Austria the song had minor access in America on the dance charts it peaked at number #22.I just want to say before I go that I love Anastacia!!!!

Ps.HER FIRST EVER GREASTE HITS ALUMB COMES OUT NOV.7 WITH A BOUNS DICS WHICH INCLUDES 13 REMIXES!

5 out of 5 stars This is the BEST album I own.......2005-09-05

Even though many people in the states have not heard of this truly great artist, I believe that she is worthy of fame even in the states. This is a great album and it is a bit more rock than the rest of her albums which I think makes this the best album she has ever made. Every track on the CD is great. I like the track "Welcome to my Truth" the best though. If you have only heard a few songs like "Left Outside Alone" and "Sick and Tired" and loved those, you will really love the rest of the CD.

Customer Reviews:

4 out of 5 stars Good album, but not the book size case though.......2007-03-30

I got a chance to buy this album after saving up some money for it. I thought I was getting a CD set in a typical case, but Sony decided to make it in the size of a book, and put the CD's in the sleeves of the book, which I don't like about the CD set. The 1st CD has some of her best CD's, and I believe they were put in the order of song's release. I'm Outta Love gave Anastacia her big break. Not That Kind is ok, but not my overall favorite though. Cowboys & Kisses sounds a bit country, which had this song been released in the United States, it might have been lucky to get promoted on AC stations, as Pop stations wouldn't have touched this song. As for the Freak of Nature Album, Paid my Dues being a song about Anastacia finally making it big in the music business. I usually don't hear songs about that. One Day in Your Life is the European version, where it sounds a bit computerized, plus the song fades out as she sings toward the end, where the American version had a few extra seconds of instrumental music at the end. I prefer the American version better. Why'd You Lie to Me reminds me of someone that cheated on me, and can relate to the song. You'll Never Be Alone is one of my favorite love songs.
From the Anastacia album, this album has Left Outside Alone, which is my overall favorite song from her. It has a rock sound to it. I only wished Sony did a better job trying to promote this song in the United States, but they didn't do a good job at it. Sick & Tired & Heavy on My Heart, being emotional songs, talking about her struggle with Breast Cancer, and overcoming it. As for the New Songs, I like the duet she did with Ben Moody, and the song also appears on the Fantastic Four Soundtrack. I Belong to You would be a good song in my book, if Eros Rammonazzi (Don't believe the name is spelled right) sang his part in English, instead of Italian. Now if this album had been released in the United States, that song would either have been sung with someone else in place of Eros, or removed completely. The Club Megamix should have been left off of disc 1, as it didn't sound right at all. It was mish-mashed songs, which I don't like. The 2nd disc has the remixes, which is where I want to hear the remixes.
As for Dance remixes, I heard the I'm Outta Love [Hex Hector Radio Edit] at a South Bend Indiana nightclub in 2000, which exposed me to Anastacia's music. Left Outside Alone [M*A*S*H Radio Mix] sounds a bit bland, but the Jason Nevins Global Club Edit of the same song fits the lyrics & beat better. Sick and Tired [Jason Nevins Funkrock Remix Edit] in my opinion shouldn't even been remixed. To me, it doesn't sound right speeded up. One Day in Your Life [Hex Hector/Mac Quayle Club Mix] is a bit too long for my listening preference. The Almighty Mix version of the same song fits my style better. Love Is a Crime [Thunderpuss Club Mix] & Cotto's Doin' the Crime Mix are both good remixes, and couldn't stop listening to them. I only wished the original was included on disc 1. Sick and Tired [Jason Nevins Funkrock Remix Edit] & Jason Nevins Electrochill Remix Edit are also good remixes, though I believe the Jason Nevins Electrochill Remix Edit is the better version. Lastly I like Boom [Thunderpuss Tribe-A-Pella Mix], which sounds close enough to the original. The song from FIFA, which makes me wanna dance, whether to the original, or the remix.
If it weren't for the book case & the album leaving off Boom & Love is a Crime from disc 1, I'd give the album 5 stars.

5 out of 5 stars A TRUE MUSICAL DIVA...USA MAKE UP!!!.......2006-10-20

I first viewed Anastacia about 15 years ago on MTV a talent show if you will. She placed in second which was a joke. Anatacia has the "WHOLE" package!!! I live in Florida and she is Hot here. It is to bad that the rest of the USA does not play or carry her music. She by far is a True Diva! This CD is "outstanding" as well as her others were. This is the best of Anastacia and has new releases that have not been released in the USA. It is a double CD and is simply more than I could have asked for. The first CD is the best of her singles and some new songs, the second is if you will a dance mix of her singles which again I will say is "outstanding" My Compaion and I had the Pleasure of seeing her live and I have yet to see another female artist give what she has in the pop world. When comes to great muics for dance and Love this is it! I only again wish that the USA would treat this Diva as she should be instead of her having to cross seas to become a HOT Female Artist. Anastacia has the Voice, look, body, personality and the presentation to out any female pop artist out today in the USA! I look forward to her next release knowing it will be better than that last as each one is. Oh this comes so wonderfuly packaged with a huge book like carrier. With words to each of her songs and some wonderful pictures of her. If you even think you like Her this is a Must have!

5 out of 5 stars Pieces of a Dream - A nicely assembled package!.......2006-06-27

Love it! Anastacia's Greatest Hits. This release that I purchased was the import. Please note: The U.S. Domestic release does NOT include the Dance Remix Bonus CD. In my opinion--the best part of this album. Not that I don't love all the rest of Anastacia's tracks...but alas, I already own almost all of the other great songs in this collection---previously released. Most artists do this when releasing a retrospective---with a few new releases as incentive for Die-hard fans to purchase an album containing mostly songs they already have. With that said---If you dig Anastacia, get this import CD set. It comes packaged in a very slick little picture book (hardcover) with 2 CD's fitting neatly inside the front and back covers. Be careful handling the CD's as they tend to be more prone to surface scratches in packaging like this. The Domestic release of "Pieces of a Dream" include a dance mega-mix of Ana's more popular hits. The bonus CD contained in this import version have DJ remixes of "One Day in Your Life", "I'm Outta Love", "Paid My Dues", "Boom", "Sick & Tired" and others (albeit more remix radio edits than I would've liked!). The remix disc has 14 tracks altogether. Some are different versions of the same song---but still really cool! Disc 1 has 17 tracks. "Everything Burns", "You'll Never Be Alone", "Not That Kind" and "Left Outside Alone" being some of my fave tracks. If you only have her "Freak of Nature" album--you'll get quite a few tracks that were only available previously as import releases. My partner & I saw her live here in Palm Springs,CA---she is an amazing talent with an enormous voice, striking beauty and killer style! Being a huge inspiration to both of us, we had to seek out and obtain all of her albums. Do yourself 2 favors: 1-Buy this CD set. 2-Do a search on Google for Anastacia Lyn Newkirk---you'll find out alot about one amazing little lady!!!

5 out of 5 stars The Worlds Best Kept Secret!.......2006-03-28

Anastacia is...the worlds best kept secret! And this mix of greatest hits is the best way to join in on all the RAVE!

5 out of 5 stars Pieces of a Dream.......2006-01-17

I just got this today from UK Amazon (cheaper than on here) and I was stunned that it came in a "book"-like package. The package is amazing and beautiful with the lyrics inside on the pages. The CDs are in sleeves in the front and back of the package.

But what really counts is the tracks and amazing remixes on the remix CD. By the way, the description on here is wrong for the special edition. There is no DVD included in the packaging: just Disc 1 (with all her hits and 4 new songs and a megamix) and the remix disc. There will be a DVD being released of her Live at Last tour in March, so look for that.

All of her singles are here (except for Boom and Love is a Crime, though they are on the remix disc) as well as 4 new songs. The title track and new single, Pieces of a Dream, which is amazing and a pure Anastacia rock ballad. There's also I Belong to You, with Italian singer Eros, another ballad and In Your Eyes (ballad) as well as her contribution to the Fantastic 4 soundtrack with Ben Moody, Everything Burns. The club megamix is a almost-12 minute dance tour de force, including her biggest hits, totally remixed. It is amazing.

The remix disc is really good too, including some rare remixes of her biggest hits as well as to Love is a Crime and Boom. It's an amazing addition to have to this greatest hits set.

It really sucks that she isn't more known in the US. Most of my friends don't know who she is. I hope that whenever she releases her fourth studio album, she works harder to try and break the US. I really hope she can get successful here in the US.

So buy this awesome greatest hits package! You won't regret it.

Singer Anastacia is definitely prone to no-frills caveats: "I'm a freak of nature," she declares on her sophomore album's opening title track, "You better beware of danger." And so begins the journey into this Taylor Dayne doppelgänger's musical world, a place populated with overblown rock-funk-R&B tracks signed, sealed, and delivered with the sole intent of freakifying the Chicago-based songstress stateside (she's sold over 7 million albums worldwide). Replete with melismatic wails (on power ballads like "I Dreamed You" and "You'll Never Be Alone"), hard-edged, don't-mess-with-me manifestos ("Paid My Dues," "Why'd You Lie to Me"), and a requisite superstar cameo (Faith Evans sits in on "I Thought I Told You That"), Anastacia works the funky-white-girl thing with all she's got. And though most of her material is fairly schlocky, this onetime contestant from MTV's The Cut has a thick creamy purr of voice that carries the run-of-the-mill material and prevents the entire affair from invoking a caveat emptor. --Sylvia W. Chan

5 out of 5 stars Freak Of Nature.......2005-08-19

01. Freak Of Nature-9.8/10, The title track is really just a good dance song. The lyrics are great. Anastacia just really lets loose with her voice. Its about how she isn't gonna be what everybody wants. She's gonna be herself no "Ooh La La Baby" I'm surprised this wasnt single. Its certainly good enough to be.

02. Paid My Dues-10/10, A song they shows that Anastacia just doesn't care. You can't stop Anastacia. A nice beat. The first single off of the album. Talks about how shes paid her dues and can't be held down. Great choice for a single. But i wouldn't have released it first.

03. Overdue Goodbye-9/10, A slower track. She is saying good bye to someone. She tells him if love was a season he would be her winter. So shes telling him "Goodbye" Its her overdue goodbye.

04. You'll Never Be Alone-10/10, One of my personal favorites on the album. She sings to someone that with her they'll never be alone. She sings how they'll make it through the fire and how she'll forever be by his side. The video to this track was amazing as well. She really shows off her powerful pipes on this track. With those big notes towards the end. This was the 4th and final single. My favorite or maybe second favorite to #6.

05. One Day In Your Life-10/10, A great upbeat dance track. She basicly is singing one day in your life you'll be sorry you left me. She says she won't break down and cry. Cause time has made her stronger and one day he'll want her again. I would have chosen this as my first single if i was her. Was her second single. But was teh only single she released here in the US. One of my favorites.

06. How Come The World Won't Stop-10/10, A song about someone she lost. And hoe come the world won't stop not that your gone. i know the feeling i've lost people in my life too. This song really touches me. I know the feeling first hand. This is the kind of song that makes me wanna cry but cheers me up all in one. The whole message itself makes this possibly my favorite song on the album.

07. I Thought I Told You That f/Faith Evans-10/10, Great Great song. Witha superstar cameo from Faith Evans. Should have had a video or at least been a single. Its about how Faith told Anastacia that this guy would break her heart but she went with him anyways. So she sings "I thought i told you that he'd break your heart, he was no good for you from the start"

08. Why'd You Lie To Me-10/10, One of the best songs on teh album. Released as teh 3rd single with a creative video. The song is talking to a guy that lied to her. Then seh sings an incredibly catchy chorus to him. For soem reason this was also on the first album "Not that Kind" But its more fitting on this album. One of my favorites.

09. Don'tcha Wanna-9/10, She sings Don't Cha Wanna fall in love to a guy. This song along with "Why'd You Lie To Me" was on the first album. I'm not sure which album this song fits with more. But its still great.

10. Secret-9.8/10, Anastacia shows a different side of her voice. This is one of teh ballads of the album. A great song. One fo the better tracks on the album. Not much else to say about it.

11. Don't Stop (Doin' It)-7/10, A sort of disco-ish dance song. Not my favorite.

12. I Dreamed You-10/10, A sweet and tender ballad. Its basicly just about how she loves someone. And how she dreams of them. Also shows a higher toned Anastacia. Her Chest Voice is absent through most of this song. She keeps in a high range throughout most of the song. Til the end of course when she shows off her voice.

13. Overdue Goodbye (Reprise)-8/10, Basicly just another minute and 30 seconds of overdue goodbye.


Overall Album Grade
9.8/10

Her second best album to date. With Anastacia being the best.

After early support from Elton John and success across the UK and much of Europe, Anastacia's debut album gets a U.S. relaunch with one additional track. More Chaka Khan than Mariah Carey, the Chicago-born Anastacia brings both a powerful voice and a sense of restraint to these performances. There's no doubt that this is a grown woman, not another teenager copying Britney Spears' attempts to conjure Janet Jackson. All that said, something unconvincing lurks in Not That Kind. The singer (and co-writer of most of these songs) has obviously done her homework on '70s soul music; "Don'tcha Wanna" owes enough to Stevie Wonder's "I Believe (When I Fall in Love It Will Be Forever)" to occasion a co-writing credit to the maestro. It's simply that she relies too much on mannerism to fully give herself to the material. She sounds at home enough within these modernized pastiches of everything from late Atlantic-period Aretha to Donna Summer, but never really socks one home the way a complete original like Macy Gray would. In turn, that failure makes the attitudinizing of "Yo Trippin'" and "Why'd You Lie to Me" fall flat. --Rickey Wright

Fast delivery and perfect conditions. Happy with my new album of Anastacia. Thanks!

4 out of 5 stars Forgotten Gem.......2006-04-16

Anastacia's first album from 2000, kind of a forgotten gem. It sold well in Europe just like her upcoming 2 albums but in America it was never promoted and neither was her other albums, which is a shame, afterall she's from New York and naturally USA would be the first country for her to sell albums in, no?. Anastaica is defenitely not the average singer. She's Pretty, She got a great charachter, and an absolutely incredibly soulful voice and on top of that she always records great songs. Why she wasn't launched in US is beyond me. Her debut album is more soulful then her other albums, but it perfetly suits her voice and stands just as strong as the others. "I'm Outta Love" the uptempo soul hit-single is good proof on that, but also the title track "Not That Kind" that feautures gospel choirs, and ditto with the semi-ballad "Cowboys and Kisses" that isn't country music per se. "Why Did You Lie To Me" that doesn't appear on some copies is more pop-rock and was also a hit in Europe and one of her best singles. "I Ask For You" a great ballad that shows her other sides and the Diane Warrren penned "Late Last Night" is adult contemporary romance, "Made For Lovin You" sound alot like "Outta Love", uptempo soul with edgy funk bass, melancholy "Black Roses" is a good semi-ballad that groves on you. Other then that there is plenty of soul/ballads/pop and rock on this album and in the end it's an excellent album that imediatly proves her potential and diversity. Even though it only yielded four singles, there could have been more cause the album is rich of gems, I think however that the other 2 albums are slightly better, but this also stands strong. Never to late to discover her. Recommended

2 out of 5 stars Not so great.......2005-09-02

I thought this cd was going to be a secret gem, but I could barely listen to the whole thing. Not worth the $.

3 out of 5 stars Okay, should have been an EP ... IN MY OPINION.......2005-06-03

The following review is solemnly based on the UK / Australian edition of this album which features Doncha Wanna Late Last Night and Why's You Lie to me in place of Wishing Well and Love Is Alive which is smart because they are my least favourite songs on the album.







I purchased the ANASTACIA album around Nov. 2004 - before Sick And Tired was released as a single, I absolutely loved it. In Jan or Feb, I noticed this album on sale for $9.95

Whilst her third album had some originality, this album has very very little on the whole. Whilst her songs Not That Kind, I'm Outta Love, Who's Gonna Stop The Rain, Made For Lovin You and SAME OLD STORY (my favourite) are very very good indeed, I don't like the other tracks. This album is very much black and white for me. I either like the tracks or I don't.

The album is very mainstream. The power-ballad is commonly used, altough sometimes doesn't work, and the more upbeat songs are a bit better in my opinion. The one song that really annoys me is Wishing Well. I don't mean to use an exaggerated opinion, but it sounds more of a childrens song.

To conclude, I enjoy 5 tracks on this UK edtion, but the other 7 I do not. I use the skip button a lot with this CD, which I actually rarely do.

5 out of 5 stars Not That Kind.......2005-01-25

Anastacia can not be compaired to anyone else, she is in a class by herself, her first CD "Not That Kind" is proof of that, she has a voice that is a beautiful blend of powerful soul and R&B that rocks. If you need motivation to dance, workout or just move, this is the CD for you, if you are in a down mood and need something to bring you up, this is the CD for you, this is the #1 CD in my jukebox.
Her second CD "Freak of Nature" is #2 in my jukebox, and is just as good, now that she has beaten breast cancer she is coming out with her third CD soon, and I hope she tour's the U.S. this time, she is as American as apple pie and Europe can not keep her.

    5 out of 5 stars Jason Nevins does it again!.......2006-07-24

    Can Mr. Nevins do no wrong? His remixes for Elvis, The Blackout All-Stars, Kelly Clarkson, and Madonna have been wonderful, and he continues this tradition with Anastacia.
    1. Left Outside Alone (Radio Edit) (10/10, 3:59): Great.
    2. Get Ready (Album Version) (9.9/10, 3:33): Eh. An entertaining, but forgettable, track. She cusses a lot too.
    3. Left Outside Alone (J. Nevins Global Edit) (11/10, 3:49): Awesome rock-flavored mix.
    4. Left Outside Alone (J. Nevins Global Club Mix) (11/10, 8:10): Takes awhile to get started, but still AWESOME!!!
    5. Left Outside Alone (Jason Nevins Mixshow) (2000/10, 5:31): The absolute BEST remix he's ever done. More of a tribal feel than the others.
    Buy this if you love remixes or are an Anastacia fan. You won't be disappointed.

    5 out of 5 stars Saw Anastacia Do This Live in U.K........2006-04-08

    Live in U.S., work in U.K. and Europe. I saw Anastacia doing this and other songs from latest album live on the Paul O'Grady show. Even on just a hotel TV, she put everything she is and she has into this song and others. BLEW me away! Went out and got the album next day (in U.K.). Bloody fantastic album! Play it whenever I can. If you can find the album in the U.S. - Grab it fast! Then try to catch an Anastacia live show. Previous albums are good, when she was in her circa '70 and '80s rock "stage". Woman has matured into a serious and terrific artist. She wrote tunes and lyrics to all of the songs on new album except one. LOVE this artist and this album!

    5 out of 5 stars Get Ready.......2004-10-01

    Hey everyone
    I bought this single for 1.99 and love it!
    I love the song Get Ready very rock especially love how she cusses in the middle of the song! It had me laughing ha ha
    WOOO
    The song is a very good discription of what she has gone through with cancer. She was left outside alone and she survived! Love this woman. I knew I'd love this song and the mixes. The last one is really cool. Love the way they play the drum beat backwards. The longest remix is probably already being played in clubs. I know it'll be playing in my club/room ha ha
    So if u love Anastacia and her last albums then pick this up.
    GET READY

    5 out of 5 stars Anastacia, "Left Outside Alone" [Maxi Single].......2004-09-25

    "Left Outside Alone" is the lead single off Anastacia's 3rd, self-titled album. With this song, Anastacia explores new musical territory, while still including her previous style. The type of music, as she calls it, "Sprock", is a combination of pop, rock and r&b/soul music. Though you might find it skeptical going into the blender, the result is completely satisfying. A good jump for Anastacia. The remixes for "Left Outside Alone" were done by Jason Nevins (Anastacia, "Sick & Tired"; Widelife, "All Things (Just Keep Getting Better"), a remixer who's been around for a while, but is presently being pushed further into the light. It's a good things - these remixes rock! He sets the tone for a house-club remix, while still including the "sprock" feel of the original. His Global Mixshow is different from the other two mixes, but is equally satisfying and worthy of your dollar. If you enjoy Anastacia, Dance/Club Remixed, and/or Soul/R&B/Pop/Sprock music, then grab this single. The track listing is:

    01. Left Outside Alone [Radio Edit] 3:55
    02. Get Ready
    03. Left Outside Alone [Jason Nevins Global Club Edit] 4:16 - this is a misprint; the real time duration for this track is 3:47
    04. Left Outside Alone [Jason Nevins Global Club] 8:05
    05. Left Outside Alone [Jason Nevins Mix Show] 5:35

    Congratulations Anastacia! Keep it up!

    4 out of 5 stars Finally! More Anastacia in the US!.......2004-06-28

    I've been a fan of Anastacia ever since I heard "One Day In Your Life." So it's good to finally hear something new from her!

    Although she's had moderate State-side success, she's a smash in Europe, having 3 hit albums, and a bunch of Top 10 hits.

    The new single "Left Outside Alone" is the first single from the upcoming self-titled album (which I heard will be out in the US this July). This song features the co-writing and production of Dallas Austin and Glen Ballard, giving it a rock, guitar driven power song. Anastacia's voice glides through this song. Some of the lyrics are a bit trite, but the chorus makes up for what the verses lack.

    Can't wait to hear the new album!!!!
