As some of you know this girl is my drug. Her debut sold a dismal 15 000 copies but it was the most amazing thing to come out in 2004. She had a cameo in the not-so-successful August Rush, too.
She has been dropped from her label since. She's been working on an album, too.
She said she shot her video. She posted this song To Find You on her myspace. I dunno if it's the single or not... She said it was made for the August Rush soundtrack but they didn't use it.
She is the funniest person on earth. When you'll be bored, read her early blogs.
I mean... "For some unknown reason, these sleeping pills interact with caffeine and the next thing I knew I was in f**king Lala Land. The last thing I remember was laying in bed, staring at my fluffy pink vest across the room and being absolutly certain that I could move it with my mind if I just concentrated hard enough and said the magic words: Lucky unicorn, lucky unicorn, lucky unicorn... Needless to say, I was unable to will it through the air to my bed, but when I woke up it HAD mysteriously moved from the couch to the floor. But then again my lotion had mysteriously emptied itself all over the bathtub, my shoes were mysteriously on the back of the toilet and I had written mysterious nonsense all over the hotel stationary at some lost point in the night, so who knows what happened, really."

Somebody was my #1 song of 2005. I'm one of the 15,000 people that has her album. Hopefully she can get something out of the next album.

I bought it for everyone I know haha. Yeah... I kind of thought she'd have a semi-break with this album, maybe a commercial song... But now she doesn't have a label and To Find You is really blah. So who knows, really.

She commented on my MySpace! (for the second time.. that's how awesome I am) Although she completely ignored my question.. I wanted to know if To Find You is the lead single. She likes my half witty comments better I suppose.

I don't own her first album, but Somebody was an obsession for me in 2005. I'm guessing I should buy it?

Wow, I have pretty much forgotten about Bonnie. She had some nice songs on her debut album. I'm one of the 15,000 people that has her album. I am one of 15,000 who own her debut as well. Hopefully Bonnie will get more recognition with her sophomore album. I felt her debut was poorly marketed. She was marketed towards TRL and CHR pop, but her album was far more of a Hot AC/AC type of album. She should have been marketed more towards the VH1 crowd, not the MTV/TRL crowd.

Yeah...I almost forgot about her too. I remember Somebody's video popping up randomly when I was in my fraternity house after another video I was watching on Yahoo...I decided to take a chance and buy her CD and I was very happy about it. Sorry about the label turbulence but good that she is still working...

Her label wanted to have Hot AC listeners as her target audience, but when Somebody premiered on the net, it seemed younger people were enjoying it so they changed plans. Which was not smart.

This is great! I hope they focus on their artist over at Epic now since L.A. Reid has stepped down from X-Factor to focus on his Label.

I really hope the music sounds nothing like Katy Perry or Ke$ha. They need to develop her own sound for this record.

I love "American Girl" so much! I'm so happy that Bonnie is back. She best slay!
Adam and Ke$ha being in the video made me smile. :)

I'm so glad we're finally getting to hear her music, I love American Girl. Clever of her to use all those stars in that video.

I loved listening to her sing all the songs she wrote for other artists. When she sang "Hold It Against Me" and "Wide Awake" I got the chills. I hope there are similar songs to those on her album.

Smart video, but lol at it being, like, all Katy Perry songs and a few others. I think she should drum up publicity by feuding with Katy...something along the lines of her being the woman behind the Katy Perry curtain who finally broke free of her chains to keep her catchy songs with crappy lyrics to herself for her own taste of pop domination.
...otherwise she should just be punished for "Last Friday Night" and "Part Of Me" and never see the top of a chart.
