Addictive! Customer Review Rated Bad 10 - 10 out of 10
Originally titled "Bold and Delicious" (thought to have been changed to stop confusion with Ayumi Hamasaki's work), "Addicted" has been met with mixed views, with some believing it to be a huge step backwards and comparing it to Jade's first Sweetbox album "Classified" and saying that it isn't as good as good as previous albums like "Jade" and "Adagio"

In truth, "Addicted" should be viewed in it's own light. It is a mix of what fans have heard before (with sampling of classical pieces in the tracks "Here Comes The Sun" and the title track "Addicted") as well as what appears to be a new direction for the group ("Bold and Delicious" and "Ladies Night"). There is a good mix of ballads ("Every Step", "Happy Tears") as well as more upbeat songs ("Graceland", "Bold and Delicious", "Ladies Night") and a gospel sounding track ("Vaya Con Dios") not really heard since the "Adagio" album (Track in question: "Testimony")

Overall, it's good to see Sweetbox heading in a new direction, or at least, testing the water with a new style. They haven't jumped completely in at the deep end and it could be seen as an easing into what is to come. By giving fans what they have been used to and mixing it with a new style, it will hopefully please old fans and possibly attract new fans as well.

Couldn't stop listening to! Customer Review Rated Bad 8 - 8 out of 10
*NOTICE: Jade Valerie Villalon is no longer with sweetbox (2001-2007). She is now Jade Valerie, a solo artist under Universal J. Recommend you check out "OUT OF THE BOX" and her "Bittersweet Symphony" album. Her CDs can be found in this site of course :D More info, go to www.jadevalerie.com or www.myspace.com/jadevalerieofficial

Quick sum-up: My favourite tracks were all the tracks other then Beautiful Girl and Over & Over (not to say they're bad of course). This album proves that Jade is growing ever so more and that can be heard and seen in her lyrics and her great vocals. Geo the man, always producing great sounds and co-writing with Jade also. This album is so fun to listen to. Not only addicting and fun to listen to but darn there are nice sentimental tracks in here, especially from Every Step, Break Down, Dreams, Happy Tears and Million Miles. Too bad songs not promoted as singles don't get the attention these days 'cause they are so awesome.

Yes, this album was originally titled Bold and Delicious. Since Ayumi Hamasaki happened to listened and loved her THE GREATEST HITS album (also in this site), she decided that having a listen to their few songs that were then added into her (miss)understood album. The album just had to be renamed and it was fine either way.

As a fan, I wouldn't say this is her best album but it's still awesome! Had a big streak in listening to this album. I just love music video to the title track also. Too bad there's no CD+DVD for this album (music video is included in her LIVE album DVD however). I still can't believe this is the woman who sung real Emotion and 1000 Words. People who only heard her through those songs needs to hear more!

You won't regret buying this. It's just too bad she's not known outside of Japan and Korea as much as the rest of the world and more importantly, her homeland America! This Filopino American artist should have got loads of grammies by now!

Get to know Jade Valerie now through this album or THE GREATEST HITS. Know the reason why there are Jade Valerie fans today that still follows her and believes that she deserves the real international spotlight she may find one day.
