Popstars by Eden's Crush is forty-eight minutes and three seconds and was released on May 1, 2001. Popstars reached #6 on the U.S. Billboard 200 Album charts and #6 on the U.S. Billboard Top Internet Album charts and went Gold. This was the group one and only album and the CD came with their group one and only charting song. This fabricated group had great harmony and a good vocal range. I was impressed with the song 1,000 Words (Mil Palabras) and how they sang it Spanish as a group. Too bad the group disbanded after their only album. Popstars by Eden's Crush gets an AAA+++.

First, sometimes something might be out of print according to Amazon.com, but not at other places. However, I think that there is a likely chance that the album's out of print. However, you can still get it used. The prices here seem much more affordable than when I got my copy, but my mom was the one who bought the album (I was eleven years old and sort of spoiled at the time; we had a deal that she would pay for this album, and I'd pay for Survivor, the Destiny's Child album that came out that same day, and outsold Popstars).
The story of this album is that there was a TV show in New Zealand called Popstars, which would put together a pop group and have them put together their first album, and then broadcast it onto TV. It became done in several countries, including the United States of America, which had only this season and another less successful season. The five women chosen for the show were chosen out of a ton, and they worked really well together. They also had the highest-selling debut single, "Get Over Yourself."
I would recommend this over buying a copy of "Get Over Yourself" as a single although the additional tracks are nice to have (phone messages recorded just for the disc, "Get Over Yourself" in Spanish, and an instrumental version of it). I think that all of the tracks on the album are at least good, if not great. This album isn't one of those albums that has or will change the world, but it's filled with a lot of good pop.
The album opens with "What's Good 4 the Goose," which was honestly a disappointment for me, having heard the world premiere version that had a special guest appearance from a rapper, I forgot who, to be honest. "Anywhere But Here" is another song that I was excited to hear, having heard it from the show as well. "Love This Way," which was an intended second single, as they said when I saw them as front acts for *NSYNC, is a very beautiful love song. I liked how "I Wanna Be Free" had a guitar riff and a bit of a rock feel, but it had a rap breakdown, and I should also mention that Nicole Scherzinger hits a really high note, and I mean really high.
"Glamorous Life" was a big hit released by Sheila E, originally written by Prince, intended for Apollonia 6, and I feel that this version is very similar to the Sheila E version, but I would have loved a guest appearance of Sheila E doing percussion because she's a wonderful percussionist. "1,000 Words" is half English and half Spanish, which works well because three of these women came from a Spanish background. "It Wasn't Me" also has a Latin influence, and some really cool rhythmic sounds.
For me, "You Know I Can" was the first song that I had heard, when it was used when all of these girls were still in the audition and elimination process. However, this is a very different arrangement from the one at the beginning. There's also a bonus track called "Promise Me" which was used for the final audition, and I think they probably used the same arrangement. That song was also originally intended for Jennifer Lopez, but it works here perfectly, and I love the harmony sound that I noticed on an album far from this one, Gold Medal by the Donnas (specifically the title track).
Overall, this is a really good pop album, and although it will never change history in the way that the Beatles changed history, it's a great album, and I'm also comparing a bacon-cheeseburger with a vegan salad from what I just said. |

Its a shame that they only did this one cd. I would have loved to see how they might have progressed as a group even though one member is out there doing her thing (Nicole w/Pussycat Dolls). I liked the cd for the most part. It did have a nice upbeat feel to it and i felt it was worth purchasing. Even if for "Get Over Yourself" which i still love to this day. A few others that i enjoyed were "Let Me Know", "No Drama", "I Wanna Be Free" and "Anywhere But Here". I wasnt feeling however the Shelia E cover of "Glamorous Life" sometimes songs should be left as they are. That was a prime example, a couple other songs i didnt really get into as well.
But for the time that they had to put this CD together. I'm kinda impressed. Nice one girls. |
