Eden's Crush - Popstars

The debut album from Eden's Crush is a pleasant surprise for two reasons: one, the girls are well trained, with strong, tuneful voices; and two, the music is good--great, actually. Eden's Crush is the end result of a television show, Popstars, where young women from all over the country auditioned to be one of the five to "live their dreams." The executive producers of this album rely on the groups' talent, giving the Crush smart, upbeat material in which to sink their collective teeth. Fans of the show have heard more than a few of these tracks, especially the debut single "Get Over Yourself," a girl-power anthem kissing off a selfish ex-boyfriend. All the songs (every one a potential single) have the same underlying themes of strength and self-respect. These young women aren't waiting for a knight in shining armor, and their message of independence should play well with teen and preteen girls. Adult listeners won't be disappointed, either. A straightforward cover of the Sheila E. classic, "The Glamorous Life," is almost as much fun as the original. Yes, Eden's Crush is manufactured--a perfect mix of multicultural beauties with the flattest stomachs this side of Britney Spears--but so what? The music and the talent far exceed expectations. --Courtney Kemp Amazon.com

pretty good

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. August 12, 2007

A Very Good Pop Album

Here's a question: How much do Kelly Clarkson, Ruben Studdard, Fantasia, Carrie Underwood, and Taylor Hicks owe to Eden's Crush?

In 2001, the WB had a series called "Popstars". It had tryouts across the country (like American Idol). There were three judges (like American Idol). The finalists were flown to Los Angeles where they were whittled down in size (like American Idol). Before one considers the series an Idol takeoff, realize that 2001 was one year before American Idol hit the tube.

There were differences, though. American Idol was a contest with one winner. The goal of Popstars was to end up with a five girl singing act. In fact, the producer narrowed the finalists to six, five of which would be the group, and two dropped out. They immediately had tryouts for the replacement.

Enough of the series, and to the finished product. This is an excellent pop album. I'm sure I would have a problem with a lot of the lyrics. Musically, though, this was a well produced project by five talented young ladies.

My favorite songs on the project include "Love This Way", "1,000 Words (Mil Palabras)", and "Two Way."

Good

Well, i gotta tell you, the only reason I bought this CD was because they had the song"Love this Way" on it and I REALLY love that song. After I heard it on an AMV, i just couldn't get it out of my head. Now I know your all probably thinkin "Who's Edens Cruch?" Right?, because thats exactly what i thought when I first heard this song. Then when I checked up on it online, I really didn't go for the whole POP look. But they actually did have some other good songs on tha album as well. Anyway, its a good CD, and another great deal about this CD is that if you buy it now, you can get it for 0.01 cent!!(Come on, where are you gonna find another CD with a price like that now-a-days,so even if you dont like it you dont have to go all crazy over the price and stuff) May 10, 2006

Eden's Crush

I remember this album when I was in the 8th grade. I remember the first single, Get Over Yourself(Goodbye). That song is so poppy. Eden's Crush was a girl group who blend musically and vocally together. Each member gets to shine vocally. They have state-of-the-art R&B-infused pop songs. This album has been certified GOLD. I love this album since it came out. The girls had reached to stardom.
The girls are different from 3LW and Dream.
Remember, this was 2001. May 12, 2005
