"I was very impressed after hearing 3 times her debut album.At first i didn't like it at all.I only enyojed "Kiss Kiss","Down Boy" "City Ain't Big Enough" "Cocktails and Parties" and "Naughty Girl".1.-Kiss Kiss-9.Is a cover song.Well she has changed the lyrics but the rhythm is the same than a turkish song.Her first single and very catchy.Is very strange that if you have listened to this song,it didn't stuck on your head.
2.-Tuck Your Shirt In-9.At first I found this song very similiar to "Kiss Kiss".But is a very cool dance song.I love the beats and the vocals
3.-Down Boy-9,5.Her second single and the best one.It has infectious beats with a great chrous.You will dance this song a lot.
4.-City Ain't Big Enough-8,5.A Midtempo song.It has cool lyrics and its easy to sing along to.Is very catchy too.
5.-Cocktails and Parties-8.This song reminds me a lot on two All Saints's songs:"Pure Shores" and "Black Coffee".It has similiar beats and vocals.The chrous is very catchy.
6.-Whoop!-8,5.At first i heated this song.But is the most dancey song in the album.The lyrics may be stupid but is so catchy
7.-Hush Now-9,5-I didn't liked this song too.But is a grower!It has the best beat without a doubt!.Very cathcy,dancey and the end of the song is awesome.
8.-All In The Mind-9.I love the chrous and her vocals.The beat is superb!You will love this.
9.-Harder They Come-6,5.Is a slower song compared with the others.But it isn't a ballad at all.Is ok to listen to.
10.-Help Me Help You-7,5-Ballad song.It has cool lyrics but the chrous is a bit simple.
11.-Naughty Girl-9,5-Her third single and one of the best songs in the album.Its very catchy and the verses are different compared with the rest of the songs.Good beat
12.-Connect-6-I don't care a lot about this one.It has a good beat thought.
13.-Send My Best-6-Same as number 12."

"When I first heared "Kiss Kiss" on the radio I instantly fell in love with the song. It made me want to stand up and dance. Since then I've heard it at parties and clubs. When I heard the second "Down Boy" I was like : I'm getting this CD.
Holly Valance mixes dance, pop, R&B, and hip hop into one AMAZING CD. This CD has NO ballads (which I love). This CD is great for dancing with your girlfriends at a club, or just having fun at home. Pop in your "Footprints" CD and the next thing you know you will be singing "Kiss Kiss, Down Boy, Naughty Girl, Tuck your shirt in, etc..." everywhere you go. Bring Holly into your CD collection and you WON'T regret it!
Plus, "Footprints" contains 3 videos you could watch from. There is the video (every guy I know LOVES) "Kiss Kiss" you could even pause during the nude scenes in the video (sorry guys but she is wearing a thong), you can watch "Down Boy" and the Australian version of "Making the video of Down boy." The enhanced features also contain great photo galleries of Holly have naked.
Anyway, I see a BRIGHT future for Miss Valance, and guys there is still hope for you to meet Holly because 'you don't have to act like a star or cruise in the back of your car to get her kiss kiss!'"

Excellent!

"Everyone says Holly Valance has no talent whatsoever, and is just jumping on the pop bandwagon behind Kylie Minogue and Natalie Imbruglia. Well, you're wrong! *imitates buzzer*
If some of you critics actually listened to this brilliant album, you'd see that Holly has talent! Sure, her voice may be computerised and fake on some songs, but others show off her voice! HELLO! Don't knock her before you've listened to her CD!
Standout tracks are:1. Kiss Kiss
Holly's debut single that sent her straight to number one in the UK. Can't help but love it. It's overplayed, but you gotta give the girl credit for being naked in her video!
3. Down Boy
Holly's second single. This is even better then "Kiss Kiss". Most people hated it, but I love it! I love the music, the lyrics and the naughty video!
6. Whoop
This sounds like a spinoff of "Kiss Kiss" or "Down Boy" at the beginning, but when you get into the song a bit more, it has a sound all of it's own. I especially love the groovy music, and the bit right at the very end. Holly's voice is computerised but it sounds very sexy and breathy.
8. All In The Mind
Contrary to what other people say, this song is NOT filler. It's brilliant! I just absolutely LOVE the music in this dancefloor track, and the singing is so sultry and the chorus will stick in your head.
10. Help Me Help You
Holly drifts into ballad land, now with a gorgeous ballad that you can't help but sing along to. The chorus is great to wail to, even if the lyrics are a bit weird.
11. Naughty Girl
Not as racy as it sounds, this is Holly's third release that reached an uncharacteristic number 18 on the UK charts. This is slightly slower then her previous singles, but still a corker. It has great music and Holly really shows off her vocals on this song.
13. Send My Best
Not on some albums. This is SUCH a shame, because it's the BEST song on the CD! I absolutely love and adore this song! To be honest, I hated it when I first heard it, but give it a try and it will definitely grow on you! It has such brilliant music and Holly again gets a chance to show off her great vocals. I love this song soooo much!Overall, a brilliant CD that will definitely get you up and dancing. In my opinion, Holly is the best out of all the popstars to come off TV shows. She can act, she can sing, she can dance and the guys love her! How can she go wrong? Go Holly!"
