Customer Reviews:
This CD is absolutely awesome.......2003-01-14
but the reason for this review, is that I just have to address the comment below that Christine Anu looks like Cathy Freeman. They look nothing alike! Cathy Freeman is cute but Christine Anu is stunning. Also Christine Anu is of Torres Strait Islander origin, whereas Cathy Freeman is Aboriginal - they are ethnically distinct. Just because they are both Black and indigenous does not mean they must physically resemble each other. That is just ignorant.
Great Aussi Music!.......2001-08-30
After visiting Australia this summer, and having a tour leader play the Party song every morning, it was hard for me not to get attached to this CD. But even if you've never been to Australia this is a great CD if you like pop music and are looking for something new. Enjoy!
Wanem time? TI time!.......2000-11-25
As Rod Stewart once said, some guys get all the luck. If Christine Anu had been born in America, with her looks and talent, she'd probably live in Silverlake, hang out with the stars, and have her life documented by the National Inquirer. As it is, she makes the cover of the Australian issue of Vogue, and gigs in Parramatta. Such is life. C'est la vie.
Christine Anu is a performer of aboriginal ancestry from Thursday Island (TI) who bears striking resemblance to 400m star Cathy Freeman (with whom she apparently occasionally hangs. Actually, come to think of it, being Australian and hanging with Cathy Freeman probably beats being American and hanging with, say Charlie Sheen, but that's another story). Anyway, the disk is pretty generic international pop. There are some tracks based on aboriginal music, some use of found sounds and samples, and some aboriginal themes in the lyrics, but at the end of the day, this is a pop record. And a pretty good one. Her new record is supposed to be even more pop oriented.
Best overall Cd I have heard In a long time.......2000-10-04
I First heard Christine sing "Island home" at the closing ceremonies at the Olympic Games. This song garbbed my attention and kept me there through out the entire thing, it has a great beat and its a beautiful song. By far one of my favorite songs. Im anxouisly awaiting a new cd.
