Paulina Rocks!
Joey Guerra - Amazon Writer

Shakira may have been the first Latina to don the contemporary crossover crown, but Mexican golden girl Paulina Rubio's first English-language effort outshines the pop competition in any language. Border Girl follows Rubio's spectacularly successful Paulina, the No. 1 Latin album of 2001. Like that collection, Border Girl blends terrific hooks, sing-along choruses, seductive rhythms, and lots of energy--essential elements for any great pop album. "Don't Say Goodbye," the hypnotic first single, is a good introduction for American audiences, and Rubio even pulls off a sly cover of the Kiss hit "I Was Made for Lovin' You." Even better are the glittering girl-power anthems translated from Spanish to English, including "Not That Kind of Girl," the pulsing club gem "Sexual Lover," and "The Last Goodbye," an innovative, I-will-survive testimonial that blends ranchera and hip-hop instrumentation. Border music has never sounded so savvy--or sensational. --


Javier Lopez from Lima, Peru

Great album, nice lyrics, Two languages and a beautiful singer, what else can you ask for?. Paulina shows us that she is the queen of crossover (Shakira may have called everybodies attention but Paulina Rubio has a better quality without question, better lyrics, better sound and better voice, but i can't say that Shakira's work was poor). Border girl has everything like: pop, rock, rap, dance and ranchera style. I hope that Paulina makes a good impression in the US and her album becomes one of the top realeses of the year because she deserves it. The album has songs in english from her #1 hit album "Paulina" wich sold over 4 million copies around the world and became multi-platinum in the US and it's still on the charts after two years of its realese, the songs are: "The last goodbye" (el ultimo adios), "Im not that kind of girl" (yo no soy esa mujer), "Sexual lover" (y yo sigo aqui) and "Fire" (sexy dance) wich i think that it wasn't necessary to add but...i'd had added "Lo hare por ti" (if somebody has the album "Paulina" i think that would agree with me). I love the first single "Don't say goodbye" and i think that the socond single should be "Stereo"...she also made a cover with "I was made for loving you" and she does it very good, all the songs are very good, my favorites are: "Don't say goodbye", "Border girl", "I'm not that kind of girl", "Undeniable" and "The last goodbye". I love this album, but the only thing that i don't like about it is that it doesn't have lyrics on the credits book.
