They talk like she loves it so much she's just doing it because she loves it. Come on EA...you know you paid her big bucks to do that. Not like she "lend" you anything for free. She alright...

@EvilFiek: You clearly aren't a 7-12 year old girl. If you aren't a 7-12 year old girl (or a parent thereof) I would suggest that this is not a product you should give much attention to, much less be offended by.

@Woodwater: She actually does have talent as a vocalist. However since this is a gaming blog, nobody actually listens to "popular" stuff.

That tracklist is awful. I can't see why anybody would buy this game after seeing that tracklist. And thanks to EA for packing the German full with EVEN worse tracks. Tokio Hotel my ass. As a German I feel ashamed that we brought the pest that is Tokio Hotel to this world and I sincerely apologize to anybody (i.e. everybody) offended by that sorry excuse for a band.

She's nice, even own her debut CD - this news could have used some video, not just a boring press release, EA.
The german song list makes this game fall into the survival horror genre though....

Her songs arent bad. She's a good artist but the fact that people here havent heard of her makes me wonder...
I mean she's been in the top 20 for like... along time...
Though I dont know most rappers... I honestly dont listen to pop songs... Meaning this game is something you could beat me away with
...
And now I read the list and Im scared of this game.. like when its in stores Ill have to order everything online... and i hate waitng for delivery so screw you EA..

@Nosignalinput: Pocketful of Sunshine is a guilty pleasure haha..the song that is. I like the chorus where she goes "Take me away....a secret place" but then she has to make it super cheesy adding in butterflies and stuff. That's the part that shames me lol.
But she can sing very, very well. So atleast she's talented.

The International have Alizee? Oh yeah!!!!!
I, too, like Natasha. Her songs are mostly quirky and fun. She's pretty hot, too.
What happened to her brother Daniel, anyways? Haven't heard his songs in a while (almost all stuff you want to sing to a girl).

It's not EA shovelware, it's female empowerment. Natasha Bedingfield said so.

Wow, never even heard of her before now. Way to aim for the top, EA.
And it's not like this is a "lol gamers don't know music" either, this is just random.

@get2sammyb: She's not huge. Most people know who she is and she has a big hit every now and then, but she's not a huge superstar like Rihanna or anything.

@jonathan.: It's interesting to see an English singer who's not had a hit in the UK for years doing so well in America though. Usually it works the other way around.

@Woodwater:
Natasha Bedingfield is doing well as a musician. She sounds thye same live as she does on the album, she has a good voice and writes or cowrites most of her songs. She's from the U.K., she has catchy songs, catchy pop albums, and she's also a philanthropist intent on helping other people. She comes across and seems top be a very nice person.
So to answer your question, no, she is not a Jade Raymond type.
@mikeha:
As for you, you do not pass Go, you do not collect $200. Go away.
