Well, I'm still on tour and the novelty of traveling on a bus has worn off little. Sure, its crazy fun and it has real beds and cool hang out spaces, but nothing beats a real bed in a room that is not moving around from state to state every night. The best hotel beds I've stayed in are at the Sofitel hotel and W hotel, I could sleep forever in those beds. My brother loved the W hotel beds so much that he bought one and had it shipped exactly as it was in the hotel to his house, sheets and all!
Was fun to do 4th of July in the US. Considering it's a day that celebrates the US' independence from Britain, it was funny to be part of the festivities as someone who is British. I like the fact that it is about freedom, which i think is something worth having a day devoted to because there are so many people in the world who do not have freedom of choice or speech and other basic human rights. I performed right in Times Square at America's biggest firework display - somewhere I would never have imagined I would be years ago when I first visited New York.
I'm pleased that my mates, The Script, have their single out, and album too I think. I hear rumours of them opening for One Republic on there European tour - now thats a gig you HAVE to be at. Both of these bands are incredible.
By the way, I just got a text from Kenna saying he is in the UK at the moment. If you havent heard of him, then you need to get on itunes or go into a shop and by his record 'cos he is a huge influence on where music is at right now; a truly artistic artist. I met him on the Justin Timberlake tour as he is a big mate of Justin, when you hear his stuff you see that Kenna probably rubbed off a lot stlyistically on JT's recent album. So check it out.
The other person to watch for is my big bro Daniel Bedingfield who has been creating some incredible music recently. I dont know when his release date is, but prepare to be blown away by his phenomenal vocals and genius songs again really soon. He is still one of my favourite artists so I really cant wait for his new stuff to come out, I'm predicting the wait won't be that much longer now.
There was a great review of my New York show in the New York post. Also good pic of me if i dont say so myself! I did a crazy faux hawk that day. I've always loved playing with my hair, doing different styles with it to express myself. Being a performer gives me the perfect opportunity to be dramatic with it.
Ok, enough from me...speaking of glam and hair; I've got to get my pretty on for some radio interview in San Diego.

My love just told me that he saw you there in Old Town and that is so wild! I heard songs of you before, but he send me 'A pocket full of Sunshine' with all his love for me in it a couple of weeks ago (music is one of our passions) and I was addicted to the song :) . .We are both fan of you and like you so much! Also thanks to your music we don't seem to be far away from each other at all, thank you so much for that! I am most certainly going to buy your last album, I hear good things about it :). . I bought my ticket up to my love, going to spend 3 weeks there with Christmas, who knows I might even see you there too then but i think you won't be there and that's ok because we'll have your music ;) For now, Big hugs and kisses from us both and greetings from The Netherlands. . Bye bye, Bianca Angel

Thank you so much I know I heve not enough status to say but I hope you know that " I love you...so much" . When I was falling down on the end of the sorrow, you woke me up inside. From that time, If i still know that you are living somewhere in this world, I'll be happy. If you are happy, I'll be happy, If you are sad, I'll be sad. With me, you are like the moon, so beautiful, so light. The moon guides me home. When I look at that moon, I feel like I' m stronger. In my heart, you are the most beautiful girl, you are the most wonderful girl. I wish i could see your face, I wish I could hear your voice in my real life. I wish, I wish and I wish...It a word " wish", it is so easy to write down but it is really so hard to make it become the truth. Everytime, I hope you can feel what I' m feelin'. If it s possible, please lei me know that you read these lines.My feelin' is honest. Love you much. Viet Thu

Just like a person who the girl loves is disguising the person's sex.(...Right in front of me or maybe you re in disguise...) The girl's kiss with the person, maybe I knew who is the person ( Mr. Loveable) The kiss in the darkness is not the same as a sham kiss with a man. Two hearts are burning in love. " How do i find the perfect fit.." a pair of old sport shoes. A csoss in the hospital- the cross is a symbol of a disease which most people always thinks It s unsavoury..(".. Who knows how to love you without being told...) But these people were wrong and they made a big mistake. A word "Hope" - the girl is hoping and she is still waiting in line.("..There s enough for everyone but I' m still waiting in line..") The line is always so hard to pass. A hug around the girl but she tries to release and she is released. She passed the line. Finally, the girl looks up the sunshine, and she smiles up to the sky- a hopefull smile. She passed the line and she steps on the way to the ladder to heaven. She touches the step of the ladder and she steps up the ladder, goes up the heaven of the true love.

At the first time when i heard your " Soulmate" song on the radio"...Who doesn't long for someone to hold. Who knows how to love you without being told..." I knew "Soulmate" keeps a secret inside And the first time when I watched the video clip of " Soulmate" I thought that might be uncanny and unclear. And then i watched again "Soulmate" video so many many time, I realized what you wanted to unburden. In "Soulmate" video: From the darkness of stony way, a girl steps in to the light.One heart from the darkness is released to reach out of the light. One heart icon suddently appears at the end of the video. There is just a butterfly, a lonely bird.

It is the perfect song to go along with the pictures of what life is like for her living with this disease. We hope to raise thousands of dollars for JDRF, and thank you for your inspirational song. Take a look! http://ie.youtube.com/watch?v=56w5W_qKnXI

I'm a 30 yr old 'successful' career woman whose life you have touched. Despite seemingly 'having it all' I have experienced depression of varying degrees in my life - certainly at the moment I'm going through a really tough time. Life is hard right now. I never thought I'd say anything this corny but if it's true then why am I holding back..? Your songs, little lady, have helped me so much - you have given me such strength and resilience to find real meaning and solace not just in what you say but in your emotional connection to the words you write- it reminds me that we all struggle from time to time, that you too have gone through hard times and that even when you think there is nothing to inspire, excite or feed your soul, that the human spirit can find amazing fortitude and inner peace - your songs have given me this. As a side note - it probably also helps that I have to muster all of my energy to belt 'em out a times - but sheesh... I feel amazing afterwards. Uplifted and not so alone. I believe that the 'world unfolds exactly as it should, that we are part of the Universe no less than the trees and the stars' and that your music has touched me for a reason. My heart is eternally grateful and here's hoping that I can one day see you perform live. (Most annoyingly my old boss is involved in the industry and has attended many of your performances which he takes great delight in making sure I know just how fantastic you were - it's not just me you touch)
Note to WizardofOz07 - don't you know that if you can't say anything nice it's best not to say anything at all? I am wishing you great peace and ting ting bells in eliminating them there negative vibes your sending out and wishing many positive ones come your way soon. For a dose of serenity search 'Desiderata' on Google.
Tasha - Thank you from the bottom of my heart. x

I was thoroughly impressed with your vocal range and overall stage presence...you truly are blessed. You have 2 crazy, wild young fans and 2 new fans. I looked over at my fiance' during "Wild Horses" and she was crying! You really have an honesty and sincerity in your lyrics that touches all ages and genders. For parents who have not met or seen Natasha you really could not ask for a more talented, beautiful and REAL artist for your children to follow! Cheers Natasha! Colin
3 weeks agowizardofoz07 wrote... Hi, I need to ask an honest question.. Do you honestly enjoy listening to and singing/performing your latest hit? And then, do you ACTUALLY like it? I liked your first single, you lost me on the second one... and then this... this is just repetitive and horribly annoying. I have to run to the radio and change it when it's on every 5 minutes at my work. i gotta pocket gotta pocket full of sunshine??... woah-oh?? come on.. you have money to hire someone new. I like your voice too- someone is just doing the wrong thing for you. its really.... reaaally.. quite a just plain old classic catchy get-it-outta-my-head trap song. I honestly want it off the radio and I'd be surprised if you'd really admit that you enjoy hearing it yourself. I joined and registered and everything just to say a few words because thats how much I just cant take it anymore. By the way- your lyrics are not inspiring- they are confusing. You have a good style and I like what you're going for but you take detours or something to get there... I cant quite figure it out.
