As you all know, writing online reviews for Kat's singles at Amazon and Barnes & Nobles etc is one of the ways to help promoting Kat's singles. Don't underestimate the importance of online reviews. It could make a difference.

Some people may not heard of Kat or her music before, so reviews become an important reference to help them to decide if this CD is worth their money. More positive reviews from customers would motivate them to give Kat's CD a try, but negative reviews could make them hesistate to add Kat's CD to their cart.

That's why, we need to write positive reviews at these sites! You could convert those review readers into buyers! I'm so disappointed that 19 only gives little promotion for Kat's CD, so we shoud do every little thing we can to help promoting her CD.

We have 3800+ members here and if we could get 3800 positive reviews at each site, that would be one of the most frikin awesome achievements by the members of this site and I do believe it would made some impact.

So here are the links:
1. Amazon
2. Barnes & Nobles
3. Target
4. Best Buy

Write an online review only takes you 5 minutes! And please try to write your review in a kinda professional way, don't just write "I love Kat! She's amazing! Go Kat!"... try to focus on her songs and her voice, but it would also be nice if you could write little nice thing about her personality.

If you found other popular music sites that also offer users to write reviews for Kat's singles, please post it here and I will add the direct links here. Thanks in advance!

My review on Amazon this morning delved into the realities of what Kat does well (rather than subjectivity)--and how you can enjoy the songs and her voice on multiple levels based on some prior knowledge. I really emphasize that people should know a little about Kat's background in order to get the full emotional impact of both songs. When carefully worded, I think that would intrigue people into learning more about her and putting the songs in the proper context.

Of course, people should be wowed just based on the purity of Kat's voice. And I play that up in my subject line as well as in the review. But I know a lot of people need more in order to move them to buy. That's why it's smart to show the multi-dimensionality of the artist so it shows they're more complex than what the media gave off. Unfortunately, a lot of people still don't know Kat the person--and I think that's a vital part of appreciating her artistry...or at least in my eyes (and ears).

I've never written a review over at B&N--but I may either just cut and paste my Amazon review over there, or write an all-new one. Writing different reviews for each site is usually what I prefer so I can get fresh perspectives at the moment I'm writing.

And, I know I'll get some morons who will automatically vote the review 'unhelpful.' I already got several of those on my Amazon review this morning just out of the expected spite of hitting the nail on the head.

I tried posting this but they said i could only have one.
Boy, those spammers must change their addresses a lot.
Anyone want to borrow a review? Here's one you can have.

To anyone who may be influenced by the plethora of overstated, abusive, one-line negative reviews this forum is being overburdened with--listen to this CD on-line and decide for yourself if you want to buy. I think you'll be pleasantly surprised. McPhee has a rich, clear voice that can absolutely give you goosebumps on a song like Over The Rainbow, even if you've heard it a hundred times before. My Destiny may be a bit overproduced, and at times the orchestra tends to overwhelm the vocalist, but give it a listen, and eventually you too will be singing "With you, suddenly I can break free" while you're doing the laundry and wishing you could do just that. On a personal note, these two songs together could almost be said to tell the personal story of a young woman who has dreamed since childhood of the kind of career she is now embarking on, who has had to overcome personal obstacles in order to finally stand before millions of people as American Idol runner-up, and is now telling all the millions of people who voted for her that thanks to them, she is fulfilling the destiny she saw for herself years ago. If you're one of them, this is for you. If you aren't, well, old friends are silver, new ones are gold. It's for you too.

I posted my review. Came back to it 15 minutes later and there were five newer reviews added. Is this typical for music on Amazon--515 reviews on the first day of its release??

P.S. Groucho, I believe that it's old friends who, according to the saying, are gold

515 reviews were awesome... would be good if all of the reviews are positive ones.

Right now her overall rating is just 2.5 stars... McPhans, if you haven't written a review for Kat yet, please do so now. Thanks.

There are over 3000 members in this site. EVERYONE must write a review in AMAZON.com. Some people do not read the reviews (so they do not know whether the low average is because only of bashers), they just check out the NUMBER of STARS, and that determines whether they buy or skip. It's IMPORTANT that we BRING UP THE AVERAGE NUMBER of STARS for Kat.

Again, just this site alone, we are OVER 3000 STRONG. EVERYONE, write a review in the AMAZON.com

Amazon is VERY VERY mainstream and is taken seriously by decision makers, i.e. producers and business people. It can determine the career of Kat.

Chad, Host,

It's possible that not everyone of the over 3000 members visit this site regularly. So they may not have gotten the message.

Is it possible for you to send a blanket e-mail to the members requesting them to write reviews in the Amazon?

It will help our Kat's career a lot.

I think this is a very IMPORTANT thing to do. I wrote reviews for both Amazon and iTunes. I'm off to write one now for the B&N site.

You can also write reviews for:
Target.com
BestBuy.com

I checked other sites like SamGoody.com, WalMart.com, and KMart.com but it doesn't seem they have the option of user reviews (which would make life so much simpler, lol).

Amazon.com should be our main priority right now, but if you want, just copy and paste your reviews at the other sites so you don't have to spend the time writing four different ones. Though it never hurts to take some time our to rave about Kat ;) !

Thanks megustajake for posting the links to Target and Bestbuy! I've added the direct links there... Bestbuy.com is currently unavailable though...

No problem And yes, I noticed that. They must be having technical difficulties. I'm sure the problem will be fixed soon.
