In the United Kingdom, New Zealand-born Natasha Bedingfield and brother Daniel Bedingfield have seemingly taken up permanent residence at the top of the pop charts. He's an earnest rocker with a dance music bent. She's an altogether more exciting prospect--a singer-songwriter who refuses to sit still, charging through decadent R&B ("Single"), jittery electro-pop ("I'm A Bomb") and first-class balladry ("I Bruise Easily"), invoking the likes of Beyonce and Gwen Stefani. And, okay, sometimes Nelly Furtado. An all-star production team, including former Robbie Williams collaborator Guy Chambers, makes for a debut that sounds like an instant greatest-hits set--just add cheekbones. --Aidin Vaziri

 Natasha is a DOLL, but.............. June 9, 2008
Robert C. Hufford (Hopewell, VA USA)
....the video portion of this has some problems. What we have here is a Dual Disc rendering of the American version of her "Unwritten" album. My five star opinions of Natasha, and of this recording, are already on record. The songs carry a message, and are superbly done. Nasasha is a gorgeous girl, with a wonderful, and clear, voice. But...............
The DVD side is difficult to work. The menu is poorly highlighted, and selection of any particular track is hard. Oh, the enhanced audio sounds great on my TV, and the videos are beautiful. [How could Natasha be otherwise]? But, I like to be able to select without a hassle.
Natasha, I love you...keep your audio engineer, and your cameraman...fire your video engineer.

A few good songs. If you can download a song or two, go ahead. Would not recommend purchasing the entire cd.

after seeing Miss Natasha perform "Unwritten" and "These Words" live at the Dick Clark "Rockin' New Years Eve" party (yes it's pre-taped). I'd only heard these two songs on the radio and didn't know much about her - but she was so cute and spunky I couldn't wait to run out and buy her cd. (Though the producer did say "oh good, she's in a good mood today.", which made me wonder, is she normally uber cranky? But I digress..)
I did like the song "Wild Horses" and the two aforementioned, but the rest of the cd was extremely disappointing - not a memorable track among them. I wanted to make "Single" my anthem - but could never end up getting into it.
Don't bother buying the cd - go to iTunes or something and just get those 3 tracks...
 XCP makes piracy attractive September 15, 2006

5 stars for Natasha Bedingfield, 1 for Sony
I was going to buy the CD. After all the warnings about the XCP software, I am considering just downloading the tracks, instead. If I could directly pay Ms. Bedingfield for her music, I would.
Ms. Bedingfield, please talk to your agent about this.
 An Unwritten Blend of Genres July 15, 2006

This album infuses dance, R&B, pop & rock. It blends them incredibly well! Here it is track-by-track:
1. These Words: Natasha's US debut single & sophomore UK single. Reason I bought this & I'm not disappointed! Great R&B tune about expressing your love on paper & writing songs in general. I can relate since I myself am a budding thirteen-year-old songwriter. 10/10
2. Single: I own the DualDisc version of this album, so I get the treat of seeing the UK music video of the song, which I think is also the US one. Third US single & debut UK single. Natasha's self-proclaimed anthem for people without significant others. Infectious beat, top-notch vocals & great lyrics. The '06 mix, (which I downloaded, but is also on the 2006 re-issue of this record,) features a slight remix of beat as well as a newly recorded bridge with the added lyrics: "I'm single and I'm likin' it this way. I'm single and I'm solo and I'm happy," which add a catchy edge to the track. 10/10
3. Unwritten: Sophomore US single & third UK single. Excellent. Fabulous message in the lyrics & great beat. Love the gospel choir as well as the acoustic guitar loop. 10/10
4. Silent Movie: A rocky track with excellent vocals about asking her boyfriend to love her without any complaints or being egotistical. 10/10
5. Stumble: Letting some guy know that she knows he loves her & she loves him back. So pretty. 10/10
6. Peace of Me: Letting a guy know that he figured her out & she likes it & it actually recovers her from some depression. Very good instrumentation on this song. 9/10.
7. If You're Gonna: A rocky song letting guys know that they have to protect her & be a good man to be hers. Excellent song. 10/10
8. Drop Me in the Middle. This song features British female rapper Estelle which is cool because there's something to me about British accents that sounds so cool to me! Natasha explains on the DVD side of the DualDisc version of this album that it means to just put her anywhere and she guarantees the she alone will liven up the place. The sound is pretty cool too. 9/10.
9. We're All Mad: This track shows that we all have our bad days and it shows a reason for why we as a global population stand here today. While the lyrics send a great message this, to me, is the album's worst track. I just don't like the sound or the vocals on this song. 6.5/10.
10. I Bruise Easily: Fourth international single and rumored to be the same in America. This is a beautiful track about being very emotionally fragile and that the strong initial vibe given off was just to keep up appearances. Because of this, Natasha warns you to "be gentle when you handle her" meaning to watch what you do or say so that she doesn't go into a deep depression. 10/10.
11. The One That Got Away: An R&B/dance track with a message that conveys that Natasha is not prepared to let the man she loves slip right through her fingers. Really funky. 10/10
12. Size Matters: a bouncy dance/pop number with Natasha saying she believes size matters. *giggles* Oh, will you get your mind out of the gutter?! She means the size of a man's HEART. She does it in a really cool, funky way, too. 10/10
13 Wild Horses: A ballad about wanting to be free as her spirit desires. Very pretty although a bit dragged out. 9/10.
14. Sojourn (hidden track): A ballad, as its predecessor, but instead of using primarily piano, this track primarily uses acoustic guitar. Natasha envisions an energy that encourages her to go on with her life; a "sojourn from the north." Beautiful. 10/10
Average grade: 9/10
