The Bedingfield with less facial hair is back. This is a good thing if you remember how good Natasha Bedingfield songs like 'Unwritten' were but not so great if you remember 'I Want To Have Your Babies' (which sticks in our head mostly because the video featured Nadine Coyle going past in a speedboat).'Shoot For The Stars' is her new single and it is a decent, mid-tempo ballad which isn't going to offend anyone and will probably get her onto Radio One if only for a live session. It also has some brilliantly silly lyrics about painting with emotions. This would be the good.
However it is beyond us what she is doing with her voice. Perhaps a lozenge might help sort that croak. She can't complete one line without her voice skidding off somewhere else - we guess it's meant to sound emotional ('boo hoo hoo this is more than just a pop song it's real life for me lolz') but she just sounds a bit daft. This would be the bad.
And the promised 'ugly'? Hmmmmmm... She's actually quite pretty isn't she? We have backed ourselves into a corner with our own headline. We could go back and change it but perhaps we'll just embed the track and leave it at that.
YouTube players are quite ugly we guess.
