I Expected More 
2009-05-14 - Don't get me wrong I am like a really huge fan but I really expected more from this album after I had listened to her third studio album 'Trip the Light Fantastic' but Read My Lips did not deliver. I really hated Groovejet (This Ain't Love) Live Version, the orginal version so so much better than this garbage that they included on this album. But don't get me wrong there were some really great tracks on here like Murder on the Dancelfoor and Move this Mountain just to name two out of the eight tracks that were really good. The others were decent but yet forgettable.
worst album ever 
2006-05-13 - I won't say too much bout this stuff, but the first word which come to mind is RUBBISH. and it truely is. the production and all the songs are so weak, that you won't get temper to get it to the end upon first listen. but what is even worse that second listen will never come. So, if you wannna spend 20 bucks or so on quality import music, you'd better try Kym Marsh "Standing Tall" or Anastacia latest compilation "Pieces Of a Dream". Enjoy and don't be fooled by sweet looks on the front cover. Just read her lips: PLEASE, DON'T BUY ME!!!!!!!
Luscious Pop and then some 
2006-03-10 - I first heard of Sophie while watching TV in Poland on vacation few years ago. The video for "Murder on the Dance Floor" came on and I was instantly enchanted. It was such a cute, ultra-cool disco tune, with catchy music, and Bextor herself had this porcelain skin, glowing pink cheeks and a fabulous green eye shadow. She was so fresh and so different that I fell for her charm instantly! So far I own all of her music but this is the CD you have to have! As her first solo project this little shiny disc is a pearl in the sea of bad music. I mean its hard to get excited when I'm so picky about music, and when so much of it out there is only semi interesting, therefore I don't review a lot of it, I simply don't have time to go on and on make something lukewarm sound appealing. This one is effortlessly lovely. I cannot praise it enough, and I think that UK comes out with some great dance and pop.
Even though Sophie is an ex model, her voice is so unique and beautiful that I know she is more than a pretty face. She really has pure talent that needs to be heard. Her music is fun, really unique, the melodies are all fabulous and I can listen to this CD over and over. I don't think I can ever get bored of it, and I have absolutely loved it since 2002 and 4 years later I am not even remotely tired of it. Her songs here are not all dance or ballads, they are so unique they are almost hard to describe. They are bit disco, electronica, synthesizers, pop and dance.
By the way "Murder on the Dance floor" will make you want to dance. I put it on when I'm in a funk, really loud and it cheers me up. Download the video and watch it, it will make the song even better.
This CD is something great to put on while you're having a party, or listening to it on your iPod while skipping in the rain, while driving in the car with the top down and letting sunshine bathe you, while relaxing or simply when you want some nice fresh tunes. Her music is cool, simple as that and I am positive she will have continuous success.
Glamorous pop... 
2005-08-15 - ...is probably the best term I can come up with to describe this album. Sophie Ellis-Bextor's songs with the smart lyrics (and that gorgeous voice!) will make you want to strut down the street feeling all sultry.
Crisp, clear and witty pop.
2005-06-20 - Ms Ellis Bextor has given pop a new lease of life.
She introduces and balladic, anthem like appeal to poppy catchy tunes and is more than a little inspired by 50's show tunes and 50's and 60's pop (watch some old Cliff Richard films if you don't get my meaning-I suggest "Summer Holiday"); her image is more than a little British 50's glamour puss too!
Her lyrics are witty and wry and seem very subtly supportive of a feminist stance, interestingly and rarely she also sings with a clear, crisp, British, almost BBC (circa 1955)accent.
Intersting stuff which breathes life into a genre that has become tired and predictable lately.
