Anastacia (born Anastacia Lyn Newkirk on September 17, 1973) is an American pop singer and songwriter. Originally a background dancer with a dream of being a professional singer, she entered the MTV reality singing contest, The Cut. As a finalist she garnered fans and the attention of industry executives which landed her a deal with Daylight Records of Sony Music Epic Records.

She has been highly successful in Europe, Oceania, and South Africa but has not had as much success in her native United States. Despite the lack of American success, she has sold over 25 million records worldwide.

She is known for her powerful, raspy voice, and she is a dramatic soprano and is famous for her ability to hit high notes in her chest voice. Her vocal sound and style has sometimes led her to be initially mistaken for an African-American singer.

She became famous for her trademark glasses (often darkly tinted), but had surgery to correct her vision permanently in August 2005. She also made headlines when she was diagnosed with breast cancer in 2003.

Only 5’3” tall, she has been dubbed “the little lady with the big voice”, and has been compared to Tina Turner and Aretha Franklin.

I think ICFY is good, it's just not that kind of song we all expected for her comeback. Let's wait for the video to the song and the whole album. I have a good feeling about it :)

"I can feel you" is good, but... I'm afraid her new album is going to be "another pop album" not in her style...

I can feel you is good, but not as good as her songs from Anastacia, so I hope that the new album is better than this new song, I wanna see the power in her voice

can't believe.. she's back... how long have I been waiting?? :) her voice sounds great as ever...!!! but unfotunately I don't like the new song "I can feel you" very much... it's pretty monotonous, and the lyric is not very profound. I would have expected MUCH more... a beautiful ballad... or a rock song like I do, Rearview.. It's a song, that in my opinion, doesn't lift off from many others.. it's a pity! :(

it's very addictive song, it makes me listen to it again and again, but I expected something more, I hoped she'll continue in the rock way, as on the last album, so I think it's musicly step back against album 'Anastacia', but I'm happy she's back..

'I Can Feel You' isn't exactly amazing, but it's a catchy grower and I like it. :D
