Just when you thought things couldnt get any sudsier, Ireland sends us
their entry for the never-ending Teen Pop Summit that seems to be holding
the charts hostage. Marketed as Celtic Spice Girls, B*witched are actually
a G-rated version, complete with voices so light and sweet you can barely
hear them through the whistles, dance beats, and faux guitar solos that
litter this debut. Theres a bit of everything here: echoes of Jackson 5 (Rev
It Up), the intro from Venus (Freak Out), and song titles straight out of the
50s (Oh Mr. Postman). More frothy than their male counterparts, but
harder to swallow, B*witched come off like giddy kids-television hosts. The
earnest ballad Castles in the Air is perhaps the only track that wont offend
older (read: 15 and up) ears, but the teenyboppers will love the whole disc.

Personal Review: B*Witched by B*Witched
What can I say? I LOVE pop! A lot of reviews refer to this group as "cute." I
won't argue with that, but those reviews are probably from a source not

used to pop, which is typically as cute. Nothing out of the ordinary when it
comes to the theme of this group. Other than that, they will dazzle you with
their talent. I know that practice makes perfect, and it is really something to
hear such great songs sung with such confidence and tone...
When I sampled this CD, the intro is, of course, an instrumental. It sounds
a bit Celtic. Now you can never judge a book by its cover, and CD albums
are no exception. I've found bright and eye-catching album covers to
contain very mature...or OK, BORING... music. So, I'm always skeptical
until proven wrong, when it comes to searching for a new album to delve
into. When I listened to the intro, I thought, "My that was incredibly
UNinteresting..." but I gave it another chance with track two, and the CD
turned out to be just what I always look for! "C'est la Vie" is as pop as it
gets, but my favorite is "To You I Belong." This group is similar to The
Corrs in how a lot of their songs have a traditional "Irish" sound, but a pop
beat and tempo. Beautiful mix! My parents are quite conservative. They've
given up on the music industry. They were into `80s, but lost interest after
that. Now they've gotten into lyric-less jazz albums, like Kenny G and
whatnot. They're reasoning is that they don't want to be told what a song is
about, and without lyrics, they can conjur that for themselves. To me,
vocals are too dynamic to leave out of a song. I am all too eager to
appreciate a good singer, or a great singer, or a great singer singing a
GREAT song. The latter is where this CD falls. It is most unusual for a CD
to stay strong through all of the tracks. This is another. Track 7 starts with
a kind of chant, and a heavy and slow drum beat in the background, then
the chorus goes into a hardrock guitar riff. You would think that it wouldn't
fit for a group like this, but no matter how playful a parody of hard rock it
tries to be, it actually turns out really, really well. It could've bombed since
it's so risky, but it actually turns out perfect. A mighty song with lyrics that
fit it, "We four girls are here to stay!" This album came out right when I
started to listen to music, in 1999, I didn't know about it until now, and my
"progress" in what I've listened to has been very slow, but I can't help but
wonder how I didn't notice this group back then...
