Rating: Do you want to hear an innovative work, something out of the ordinary, that could contribute to the history of music? Never listen to this album. But if you want to hear a light-hearted dance pop, one to listen to in the car and perhaps hum while waiting for the light to turn green, then "Alive" might be for you.
Kate Ryan (born Katrien Verbeeck) is a spicy little dance diva in Belgium. Beautiful, tall, blonde, with a beautiful voice, she has the potential to do something good in her career. Unfortunately, however, she is one of the dozens of clones of Madonna and Kylie Minogue (who, incidentally, seem like clones of each other to me), and her albums are proof of what I say. Released in 2006, after her participation in the Eurovision Song Contest in Athens (which ended rather quickly, failing to pass the semifinal stage), "Alive" is Ryan's third album.
In all honesty, one cannot say the songs are bad (as long as one likes pop-dance in the style of Madonna's "Confessions On The Dancefloor"), but we can't say they're good either. A work without infamy and without praise. A bit monotonous, given the 'unz-unz' beats that are somewhat similar in every track, with nice sound effects, but already heard in dozens of other works. Surely, it is a well-crafted album, flawless, well sung, but it could easily belong to just about any starlet of the 2000s. A real shame, because, as I repeat, Ryan has potential. Or at least, the sound of her voice is a cut above the far more famous and acclaimed Britney Spears (whose voice and vocal abilities I would draw a pitying veil over). Standout songs? All and none. We mention, for obvious reasons, "Je T'Adore" with which Ryan presented herself at Eurovision and which for a certain period was also on air on Italian radio stations. Tunes a bit cuter than the others might be "Alive", "Tapping On The Table", and "Spinning Around".
The album is performed in English (which infinitely contributes to making it anonymous), but it contains no less than four bonus tracks: the French versions of "Je T'Adore", and then "Je Donnerais tout" (All For You), "Alive", "Combien De Fois" (How Many Times).

01 Je t'adore (03:00)
The sum of all my fantasies
That's everything you are to me
You came around and made my senses fly
Shook me up when you took me to the sky
Never thought that I could ever get this high
Je t'adore And I can't conceal it
Je t'adore Anyone can see it
You give me just a little more
Of everything I've waited for
Je t'adore Here's my heart so take it
Je t'adore Only you can break it
You got me fallen to the floor
Anyway you want I'm yours
Ooh je t'adore
Bye bye to all the lies I've heard
You made a different kind of girl
You spun me out and you made my senses fly
Shook me up when you took me to the sky
Never thought that I could ever get this high
Je t'adore And I can't conceal it
Je t'adore Anyone can see it
You give me just a little more
Of everything I've waited for
Je t'adore Here's my heart so take it
Je t'adore Only you can break it
You got me fallen to the floor
Anyway you want I'm yours
Ooh je t'adore
You're the rush that I missed
Made a wish that I'd feel a kiss
Just like this
Je t'adore Yeah you made me feel it
Je t'adore And I really mean it
You give me just a little more
Of everything I've waited for
Je t'adore Here's my heart so take it
Je t'adore Baby don't you break it
You got me fallen to the floor
Anyway you want I'm yours
Ooh je t'adore

La suma de todas mis fantasias
Eso eres para mí
Viniste e hiciste volar a mis sentidos
Me conmocionas cuando me llevas al cielo
Nunca pensé que pudiese sentir tanto
Te adoro
Y no puedo ocultarlo

de lo que siempre he esperado
Te adoro
aquí está mi corazón, cógelo
te adoro
sólo tú puedes romperlo
me tienes rendida a tus pies
de cualquier manera soy tuya
Te adoro
Adiós a todas las mentiras que he escuchado
me haces ser una chica diferente
me prolongas y haces volar a mis sentidos
Me conmocionas cuando me llevas al cielo
Nunca pensé que pudiese llegar tan alto.
Te adoro
Y no puedo ocultarlo
te adoro
cualquiera puede verlo
me das mas de loq ue siempre había esperado
Te adoro
Aquí está mi corazón, cógelo
te adoro
sólo tú puedes romperlo
me tienes rendida a tus pies
de cualquier manera soy tuya
oeh oeh oeh
te adoro
Eres la ráfaga que echaba de menos
pedí un deseo
sentir un beso
como este
Te adoro
sí, me hiciste sentirlo
te adoro
y lo digo de verdad
me das más de lo que siempre he esperado
(todo lo que siempre había esperado)
Te adoro
aquí está mi corazón, cógelo
te adoro
sólo tú puedes romperlo
me tienes rendida a tus pies
de cualquier manera soy tuya
¡Te Adoro!
