Based on the hits you've heard, which is Angela Via's best album?
Is it her English debut, version 1, featuring:
[/li][li]"Picture Perfect" (the Z100-added top 50 CHR/Pop hit)
[/li][li]"I Don't Care" (the top 75 CHR/Pop smash)
[/li][li]"Catch Me If You Can" (off Pokemon First Movie)
[/li][li]"Best Friend" (off The Little Vampire)
[/li][li]"Wish We Could Be Free" (off TRL Christmas)
Is it her English debut, version 2, featuring:
[/li][li] "Girl Playa No. 1" (ultimately got Angela dropped for not losing weight for the music video)
[/li][li] "Papi Chulo" (the top 5 Peoplebase smash and Six Flags theme song)
[/li][li] "Picture Perfect (Boy Wonder)" (most-downloaded on yourmp3.net for 2 days)
Or is it her Spanish debut, featuring:
[/li][li] "Retrato Perfecto" (most-played on The Box)
[/li][li] "Eternamente Te Amare" (duet with huge Latin American salsa sensation Frankie Negron)
You decide. :)

>:( >:( >:( I'm not voting for 10 seconds of "Eternamente Te Amare."
My vote is no vote. I don't want Lava Records to stumble upon here getting misrepresentations of Angela's best album.

I'm still deciding for which album I'm going to vote anyways. Hopefully some of the other shy fans will vote to sell me on one of the albums. |

I've only heard Papi Chulo and Christmas Wish... with that in mind, I voted for version 2.

I decided to vote for album #2. Although all her pop classics aren't on that album, the songs are much edgier. "Stop, Stop, Stop"In "Stop, Stop, Stop," a future urban hit, Angela declares, in a very direct phone call... "I know that I should stop, stop, stop/But he's giving me what you're not, not, not/All that I want/All that I need/He does all the little things/I don't wanna stop, stop, stop/'Cause I don't wanna lose what I got, got, got/Now I believe/He soon will be/The only one for me" "Real Girl"Album #2 is also more personal. "5 foot 9/110/Do this, do that/The list never ends..." ("Real Girl," written about Atlantic Records?) "Twice Upon A Time""Twice Upon A Time" ranks among Angela's best composed melodies, as well. Someone described it as sounding Destiny's Child-like, but I disagree. It's unique. She sings the verses kinda of quickly, almost rap-lite. It's incredible. "Now my whole world has changed/Boy, I cannot lie/I just ain't been the same/Since you caught my eye/It must have been a hit and run/That got me wishin' you were mine/'Cos all that I want is more than once to see you/Twice upon a time..." The bridge is also incredible. "Girl Playa No. 1"Angela's edgiest song yet, "Girl Playa No. 1," was so good that T-Rush, a Chinese duo, made a Chinese version of it, which became a big R&B hit in China. The chorus is golden. "I've got one in L.A./Two in Philly/Three in Miami Beach/And each one of them is thinking that he's the only one for me/I've got two in Detroit/A few in New York/Convinced that I'm in love/But underneath my innocent disguise/I'm girl playa number one..." No wonder Lance Bass and Joey Fatone wanted to direct her music video. "Picture Perfect (Boy Wonder Remix)"Then of course it includes my favourite remix of all time, the "Boy Wonder" remix of "Picture Perfect." Sundafu, Babyface's protege, is a great producer. It would make a great second urban single, following "Stop, Stop, Stop." Angela Via is my favourite songwriter. |

"Real Girl"Album #2 is also more personal. "5 foot 9/110/Do this, do that/The list never ends..." ("Real Girl," written about Atlantic Records?) I want to hear this! :( I like the lyrics to "Twice Upon A Time" (although I have yet to hear the song!). What a great songwriter! She says something like "We're so tight"! So hip.  |

(although I have yet to hear the song!)...She says something like "We're so tight"! :o I couldn't sleep last night because I voted for album #2. I spent the whole night listening to album #1 and now I'm confused again as to which album I prefer. Album #1 has all the classics! "Best Friend" even helped a distraught fan on her official forum make up with an ex-friend. So now I don't know which album I prefer. :'( |

Hmm.. I'll vote for album #1 because I liked "I Don't Care" and "Wish We Could Be Free." Album #2 is good too, but there's something about the production that I don't like.
