17 Year Old Canadian Country Singer Getting Rave Reviews in her Native Country. Her Debut Single 'Black is Black' Was Number 11 on the Canadian Country Charts in Feb 2000. Biilboard Magazine Had a Featured Article on her in their April 22nd Issue.
"Amanda Stott is a rookie to the country music scene. For a rookie, she is pretty darn good though. Her grace, poise and talent showcase her as if she were a vetern of the industry. I'd like to call her the Lila McCann of the Canadian Country Music Scene, if I may. Amanda is young, has good writers, a great voice and with any luck, will have a lengthy career in music. Amanda's voice alone makes the album a great buy. Her debut album helps to showcase that talent with lead-off single "Black Is Black." Other didies include "Somebody To Love," which has a great video to go with it, as well as "To Keep From Missing You," and "He Loves Me Like That." I can't exactly choose a fav as the entire album is solid, but "To Keep From Missing You," and "Somebody To Love" are great listens. She is also an excellent performer. I've seen her on tv many-a-time and each time she just happens to get better and better. (The Huron Carol 2001 is an example of her outstanding work.) For any fan of music in general this album makes a nice addition to a collection, buy if you like country/pop, you can't live without this album. In twenty years time, Amanda will be all the rave, and without this album, you'll be "Reachin' For A Star" trying to find this gem."
Amanda's Awesome!

"I discovered Amanda and her music in August of 2000 and have been mesmorized by her voice ever since. I had recently bought her self titled CD and it's barely left my cd player ever since! She may be only 18 years old (as am I) but she has the power of a much older person! He song "Reachin' For a Star" (which she sang at her high school graduation) is probably my favorite, along with "Black is Black" and "Somebody To Love". I'm not a huge country fan, but Amanda is an except to the rule! I highly recommend this cd if you are looking for a high energy/soft and mellow package in one! :)"
One of the best. Ranks with McBride, Twain, Hill, Clark

"Her voice is sweet and clear. She is able, as the best are, to change styles and not sound at all the same on every song. I think this is what guarantees the best a long career. You won't like only one or two songs either, most will please a part of you. "To Keep From Missing You" rocks. "I just believe that I Can" is my favorite or is it "Everytime the Phone Rings"? Or..... Try it, You'll like it!"
She May Look Petite, But Wait'll You Hear Her Sing!

"I may be bias; I spent several years getting to know Amanda, and one thing I know for sure, her voice has never ceased to spell-bind me. Despite her diminuitive size and gentle spirit, her voice packs a lot of power. The lyrics in all her songs are sung with honesty and emotion; her vocal stylings ring with pure innocence, yet there's a strength and maturity to her voice that would suggest an understanding that goes beyond what her eighteen years of life would lead you to believe. Her tracks are, for the most part, upbeat and playful, off-set by a few slower, thought-provoking ballads. The style is definatly New Country, and her voice is reminiscent of both Celine Dionne and Reba Macintyre (two of her favorite singers). I highly recommend this CD, especially if you are a New Country fan, or if you would just like a breath of fresh air. Amanda is definitely that: She's refreshing, with a good dose of wholesomeness and spunk, and even if you don't hear much from her now, I guarantee you'll be hearing more about her very soon."
