One of Belinda's Greatest!
Out of all of her solo albums, her latest "Voila", which is totally outstanding, this is my personal favorite. I simply adore Belinda Carlisle! From her days as the diva lead singer of the ever fabulous Go-Go's, to her stellar solo days. From her Go-go's-like "Goodbye Day" thru her "Lay Down Your Arms" with Bangles diva Vicky Peterson, Belinda shines like the jewel she is. It is so sad that we have to endure countless trash like Britney Spears or Paris Hilton today, when we have true pop goddesses like Belinda, all of the Go-Go's, the Bamgles, Madonna, Cyndi Lauper, Annie Lennox, ect. who have real talent, and true voices to capture our hearts, over and over. .

an awsome album that should have made the charts
I'm a major fan, and have never heard such a tranquil sound from Belinda. This album is awsome. the songs were completely mesmerising. I personally recomend this album for the biggest Belinda fans.

"Real" lives up to it's name!
Let's start with the fabulous cover and inside photos, all beautiful pictures featuring Belinda without make-up, looking very natural. Forgive the pun, but this CD is Belinda Carlisle at her most real, musically. I'd like to see Britney Spears or Madonna appear on their covers without makeup. Then there are the songs, of which six were co-written by Belinda. The stripped down production on this CD actually enhances her voice, which sounds great. Highlights include Goodbye Day, It's Too Real, Too Much Water, Lay Down Your Arms, and One With You, although honestly, all the songs are quite catchy. It's a shame this CD didn't catch on, it truly is one of Belinda Carlisle's most underrated efforts.

The Real Belinda
It marked a huge turning point for her musical career. This cd was her first for Virgin records in the US. No more polished pop songs, just rough edgy rock and ballads that didnt fit the norm.
The only song that got much play was Big Scary Animal but Goodbye Day should have been a single.
When I bought this i envisioned the songs that would have a video or make Belinda a superstar again.
Of course Goodbye Day, Lay Down Your Arms, One With You, and Tell Me.
These four songs stand out and would have brought Belinda to the mainstream.
