The videos........2005-09-15

I really suggest that you look Amy up online, go to her site, and view her videos. They really bring out the message in her songs and they're great! My favorite is Under My Thumb where she kidnaps her ex and thepolice are looking for him, she's got him handcuffed in the house and she feeds him, washes him, and forces him to watch videos of when they were happy. Finally she lets him go and he wants to be with her again and she kicks him out. The lyrics are about wanting to know how he really felt then.
Then is the Misfit video, where she's saying she doesn't want to be like the groups of girls around her, thay she's better. She sees herself on stage, and in the end, agents come for her and all the other girls cry. Finally in the Little Girl video she spends time rebeling against what others say she is or expect her to be, even attacking her boyfriend.
I think she's really inspiring and everyone should check out her lyrics and watch her videos before making any determinations.

False Smiles by Amy Studt.......2005-07-15

I first heard of Amy Study two years ago. I was at a concert that was playing music videos before the concert started. They played two of Amy's videos in a row("Just a Little Girl" and "Misfit"). I instantly was a fan and wanted to get her cd as soon as possible. I looked her up on amazon and it said her cd was an import. I looked for her cd at every local store that sold cds. Then about a year ago I took a vacation to San Diego and found her cd at Tower Records. It was kinda expensive since it was an import but I wanted it so bad that I spent more than I usually would on a cd. False Smiles is a perfect combination of pop and rock music. Amy has a wonderful voice. Her lyrics are emotional and heartfelt. My favorite songs on the cd are "Just a Little Girl", "Happy Now", and "Seconds Away". Brit pop is awesome.

A fantastic musical talent!.......2005-02-14

I first discovered Amy upon hearing her first single "Just a Little Girl". That was before this album was even released. With this album, she shows so much more! There are a variety of emotions expressed here, mostly angst and sarcasm, but in a different way than what you'd get from Avril Lavigne for instance. The comparisons to Avril should be expected, but Amy's more pop, less punk, and perhaps less formulaic.

There are lots of good cuts on this release. The highlights are Ladder in my Tights, Misfit and Superior Mind. The other cuts are certainly worth a listen as well. Check it out!

just a little girl makes a great album.......2005-02-07

False Smiles, the debut album of 17 year old Amy Studt, is quite an eclectic piece of music. Sweet ballads, happy pop and frustrated rock, Amy can do it all. It kicks off with her first single, Just a Little Girl. A songs that seems sweet and poppy, but develops an in-your-face rocky attitude in the chorus. Other songs, like Under the Thumb, follow the same formula. Her second single Misfit is a nice pop tune.
