Natasha Bedingfield - Pocketful of Sunshine
| Stylusmagazine | | How Do You Do?” When these words escape the lips of Natasha Bedingfield—and trust me, they will—run far away. File a restraining order, call the police, buy a gun. Next thing you know, she’ll wanna have your “Babies.” Decline her offer? She’s “Not Givin’ Up.” She’s going to cry about you, her lost “Soulmate,” and then she’ll leave messages on your answering machine: “I’m Still Here.” You’ll contemplate suicide and reminisce about the days of yore, when Sean Kingston stuck with Fergie and UB40, when Britney Spears was the only desperate singer clogging toilets at the VMAs....full text |
