Missy Higgins Review and Giveaway Published on Thursday, August 14, 2008 by

*Update*

This giveaway is now closed.  Thank you so much for stopping and and entering.  The winner is Linda (#30).  Congratulations!  Be sure to check out my latest giveaway here.

 

I first heard Missy Higgins‘ song “Where I Stood” on So You Think You Can Dance…one of my favorite shows!  Courtney Galiano danced solos to both “Where I Stood” and “They Weren’t There.”  The 24 year old Australian singer-songwriter has just released her new album entitled On a Clear Night, which is a blend of soulful, introspective ballads and uptempo beats.  She is currently on tour with Indigo Girls, recently performed on the “Late Night with Conan O’Brien” and her album is currently in the Top 20 on Itunes!  

Check out Missy Higgins’ MySpace page for tour dates.  Head on over to The Missy Higgins store to purchase her music.  You can also watch her video, “Steer,” online here.  

I was thinking the other night that it’s time for another contest!  Thanks to One2One Network, one lucky reader will win the following Missy Higgins prize pack:

Head on over to Missy Higgins’ website and listen to the songs on her latest album, On a Clear Night (they’re at the top).  Come back and leave me a comment indicating your favorite and why.  Comments will close on August 24, 2008 at 10 pm PST and I will announce the winner here the following day. One comment per person, please.  US residents only.  Duplicates and comments not including the above information will be disqualified. Comments are moderated. If you don’t see your comment in a reasonable amount of time, send me an email. Bloggers and non-bloggers may enter. If you don’t want to leave your email address, please be sure to check back for my announcement on the winner. Please note that winners must respond within 48 hours of being announced/contacted or another winner will be drawn

  • by Michelle Berry August 16, 2008 at 1:17 am

    My favorite song is The Wrong Girl because everyone especially me at one time has loved someone or liked someone and thought they were with the wrong person and it should be you instead. I love her songs she has such an easy flowing voice that no matter what she sings it sounds beautiful. Would love to win this. Thank you for the chance =)

  • by Layla August 16, 2008 at 1:18 am

    I watched Courtney Galiano dance to Where I Stood on SYTYCD and loved Missy Higgins voice. I had never heard of her and asked my husband to remind me to look her up. Of course, he forgot. What a coincidence this is! Where I Stood is still my favorite with Warm Whispers a close second. She has a lovely voice.

  • by lace August 19, 2008 at 4:14 am

    I actually have never hear of Missy Higgins. I’m not much of a radio listener and I don’t keep up with the new artists. I miss out on a lot but I keep going back to my old favorites.

    I do like her voice from the site. Warm Whispers sounds beautiful.

  • by Vicki Wurgler August 19, 2008 at 9:57 pm

    I like Going North-It’s very upbeat, she has a beautiful voice

  • by Laura August 20, 2008 at 7:03 am

    My favorite is peachy, as she sounds so strong and the tune is fast/upbeat. But I also like the wrong girl, which has the complete opposite message! She has a great sound and voice.

  • by Belinda August 20, 2008 at 7:46 am

    Warm Whispers – I love the lyrics.

  • by Carol Drury August 20, 2008 at 5:51 pm

    ..lovely song, the lyrics are amazing.

  • by Elizabeth M. August 23, 2008 at 2:52 pm

    I like the calmness and gentleness of ‘Warm Whispers.’ She reminds me in parts of Alanis. Pretty voice!

  • by Ed Nemmers August 23, 2008 at 7:27 pm

  • by Marcia Scurfield August 24, 2008 at 4:24 am

    I discovered Missy Higgins a few years back. Love her new album, especially “Forgive Me.” Not sure why , it just spoke to me. “Where I Stood” is pretty awesome also. I love the quality of her voice and that touch of Aussie accent. Thanks for the contest!

  • by Chrysa August 24, 2008 at 4:48 am

    I like “Peachy”. It’s upbeat and maked me want to sing along!

    I love Where I Stood-so pretty!

  • by Patricia Hill August 24, 2008 at 6:03 pm

    The Wrong Girl. I really like the sound of her voice and her songs stay with you.

  • by Emilie August 24, 2008 at 7:25 pm

    Wrong girl and forgiveness are my faves. I really love her sound, thanks!

    sugar cane :)

  • by Veronica Garrett August 24, 2008 at 11:18 pm

    Going North-There is something about songs about leaving that I love. I guess when someone returns its a great feeling.

  • by Jean August 25, 2008 at 12:27 am

    “Forgiveness” is terrific.

  • by Pamela White August 25, 2008 at 1:30 am

    I like the song Where I Stood because the lyrics that say Se I thought love was black and white which is true for me.

  • by Susanne Troop August 25, 2008 at 1:30 am

    I like “Forgiveness”…because it sometimes is a hard thing to do!

  • by Heather C August 25, 2008 at 2:10 am

    Peachy is pretty cool. Nice beat (not too fast, not too slow) and lyrics (a bit sarcastic, like me sometimes).

  • by Donna Kozar August 25, 2008 at 2:26 am

    Count me in please

  • by Nannette Ryan August 25, 2008 at 2:27 am

    I enjoy the song Wrong Girl because I can relate to the song.

  • by kathy Yohanna August 25, 2008 at 2:35 am

    I like “Angela”. Missy has such a pretty voice and the music doesn’t overpower her song. The words also spoke to me. I think that a lot of us have an Angela in our man’s life. Thanks for the contest.

  • by Carolyn Ireland August 25, 2008 at 3:35 am

    Forgiveness is a great song.

  • by Samantha Pruitt August 25, 2008 at 3:50 am

    i really like the song Steer, it’s very upbeat annd optimistic sound

  • by Kristen Hendricks August 25, 2008 at 4:12 am

    I like Where I Stood the most because I feel it is very catchy compared to the rest of the songs. However, the rest of the songs are good too and I think Missy Higgins is a great talent. I really hope I win this great giveaway. Thanks.

  • by Lily Kwan August 25, 2008 at 7:58 am

    I love “Where I Stood” because the lyrics are very touching.
