She was never big in her native US. But she was huge outside the States. Lover her, she shares a birth date with me 17 September, a x2 breast cancer survivor. She has so much soul for a white girl, I was in 5th grade when this song came out on the radio and I thought she was black, lol reminds me of Madonna and her debut, how she also went for the black sound.
She is amazing and was huge over here in the UK. I think she is from Texas. You need to hear her sing this live. Her voice is crazy powerful. She won 'The masked singer' in Australia a couple of years ago.het character was 'Vampire'. Not sure if its a show you get over there. Basically there's a row of judges that are all famous. Each content is also famous but not necessarily a singer. They all wear costumes and the judges have to guess who is inside. Worth you watching all of her performances from it so you can hear how strong her voice is live.❤
This was the best selling song in Australia and here in New Zealand in the year 2000 I've been a fan of the song from when I first heard it on the radio waves and I also remember watching the Music channels as a kid too
Such a talent, such a vocalist (and sometimes co-writer from what I remember), and it's criminal that she wasn't big here in the states. I became aware of her in college circa 2002 when gay bars in NYC would play her song One Day In Your Life and I fell in love with that song (still my favorite of hers to this day). When I worked in Europe in 2003-2004, I learned how huge she was there, and I absorbed the rest of her songs - but I definitely never heard I'm Outta Love when it came out in the U.S. - It was a few years later for sure. I've read rumor mills that she was blacklisted here in the states because she didn't want to spend time with a certain head of a record label (since I don't want to be sued for libel, you can imagine what powerful man was newly divorced circa 2000-2001), and when she refused his advances, he put a full-stop on her career in America and ensured she wouldn't be played on American radio. Now again, that's just hearsay, but her talent is so huge and she's so popular everywhere else - it makes you think. She's got SO many great songs, and she's effortless in shifting genres or even blending genres within her songs. The Taylor Dayne comparison is also spot-on!
I discovered Anastacia when she was a featured performer on one of the VH1 Divas specials. I immediately bought her CD. She's huge all over the world but never broke through in the US.
E, there were comparisons back then to Taylor Dayne when the song dropped. Yup, they’re musical cousins in the same blue-eyed soul fam w/ Hall & Oates, Michael McDonald, Kenny Loggins, Simply Red, Lisa Stansfield, etc. Never saw her interviewed but local djs pronounced it “Anna Stayzha” so I’m going with that. ✌🏽

I watched that MTV talent show "The Cut" hosted by the late Lisa Left Eye Lopes and was shocked that Anastasia came in 2nd! I don't even remember anything about the winners except that it was a hip hop (Fugee wanabe dare I say) group 🤣.
Hey RBS! Could you please go back a couple weeks and drop some facts on the Silk reaction? You got a shout out from Empress in there I’m so happy you love Anastasia too!!
@@jareds2273 ...I DID!??? ...well, it was Silk that made me realize my 'Pop Time' was changing, and I stayed away from the tune like the PLAGUE....but I COULD leave charts....we'll see... ; ) ....
Shout out to @jareds2273 for requesting this pick! Loved your reaction Empress and you are spot on with the Taylor Dayne vocal cousin comparison. Not sure if this song was ever used in an early 2000s breakup movie but I can totally see it as well 🤣🤣🤣. I actually first saw Anastasia on an MTV singing talent show back in 1998 called "The Cut" hosted by the late Lisa Left Eye Lopes from TLC and remember being absolutely in shock when she came in second! Not that the hip hop/R&B group that won was bad but her vocals just blew all the competition out of the water and I felt she was definitely robbed but I guess she ended up doing ok for herself especially in Europe where she was huge. I was living in London in the early 2000's and became a big fan of hers during that time. I am always so amazed at how she never caught on in the US (similar to Kylie although that's even more shocking to me).
...and, this was the Show that got Anastacia her Record contract....AND, the tunes for the Album were mostly written by the "Kenny G." of Color Me Badd, Sam Watters...which, made him RICHY-RICH-RICH!! ..ha-HAA!
@@EmpressReacts ...Natalie Cole hosted One as early as 1990, called "Big Break".....they've ALWAYS been around, it wasn't until the 'reality Show' aspect took over in 2000, and helped "American Idol" take flight.......
She is a powerhouse with more than a handful of hits. She’s got a great cancer recovery story too. I love that you made the Taylor Dane comparison. They both have that vocal grit, and rasp. She’s tiny bodied but big vocal singer. Saw her around 2000 in Virginia at one of those radio station concerts supporting up and coming artists. She was super kind and I got to meet her briefly, get an autographed photo because selfies weren’t a thing yet. So glad you loved this one. 🌺 Aloha and Merry Christmas from your Hawaii friends 🌺❤️
@@EmpressReacts yeah..I think this was her only big hit in the US..I did hear a couple of her other songs in clubs..my friend Dens54 did a great remix for this song a while back..

... ANASTACIA IS A BIG ARTIST / SOUL VOICE, BLACK VOICE ... LEGENDARY !!! BIG RESPECT FOREVER ...
Classic of early 2000s'. Quite big hit in Europe too.
She deserves more in her native country ❤ 🇺🇸
No autotune required! I love the taylor dane comparison.
She has always been a huge star in Europe. Sold 20 million records in Europe/Asia/Australia with just 3 albums
Anastacia was huge in Europe and Australia but was blacklisted from US radio even tho she was from Chicago
Wow! That is crazy
Anastacia is just awesome! ❤️ It sucks most of the trash they play on the radio having so talented singers like her

😂I can see how you thought that without a visual. As you said the girl had soul
Huge here in the UK.
Yup, I remember that even though I was living in the U.S. @ the time. You can never discount a singer’s success abroad.
Yes! She’s 🔥! Definitely keep her on your radar

I 💯 agree about the Taylor Dayne comparison. She has a very soulful voice and vibe. Cool song..
Right
MY BEST FOREVER ❤❤❤❤❤

I never ran out for a CD single so fast 😂
😂😂oh wow
The remix for this was a club banger back in the day. She always reminded me a bit of Taylor Dayne
I discovered Anastacia when she was a featured performer on one of the VH1 Divas specials. I immediately bought her CD. She's huge all over the world but never broke through in the US.
That’s crazy
You're in for a treat - she has an amazing catalogue of bops.
Nice!
She was on an MTV talent show hosted by Lisa Left Eye Lopes, so I was not surprised when I heard this song.
Interesting

Hey Empress I remember this song Anastasia I’m outta love cool song it still gets played on radio 😃 I liked your reaction
Thanks!
When I first heard this song I thought she sounded alot like Taylor Dayne..I think that's part of why she wasn't bigger, but I always loved this song
Interesting!

@@felixmeow660Anastacia has a lower voice with a robust lower register whhike Taylor Daybe has more stamina in the belting region
Please reating - left outside alone
I preferred her song “One day in your Life”
Love that and also left outside alone ❤
My favorite Anastacia song!
The lady got some soul. Had enough of that man lol
