 Perky, inoffensive, and surprisingly robust July 6, 2008
Not quite the Britney Spears clone that many critics call her, Myra (born Myra Quintana in 1986), has a decent if not extraordinary singing voice and some surprisingly good pop sensibilities that probably relate more closely to the likes of a teenage Mandy Moore or a pre-2000s Jessica Simpson. Not absolutely perfect all the way through (songs like "Where You At?" and "Hanging Up On You" really don't do anything for her and would have been best left off the album), but ones like "Lie, Lie, Lie" and "Candy Boy" are infectious and catchy, there are a couple of tuneful ballads in "Wishing On The Same Star" and "Dreams," and for a song so legendary, her remake of "Dancing In The Street" is surprisingly good, with an equally festive atmosphere. She also makes it slightly more appealing to the teen set by saying "it's a chance for kids to meet," instead of the song's original line "it's a chance for folks to meet." Overall, a very solid effort worthy of being more successful than it was.

I love listening to this Cd, there is a good variety of song styles, fast and slow, mainly up beat. I highly recommend this Cd / Artist.
Excellent CD June 25, 2006
I really can not believe that this girl didn't become a super famous all-star, because her voice is definitely good enough for it. She has an incredibly strong voice, a great taste of music and an all out excellent album. I really think that she should be a super star, and it's too bad that she didn't make it too far, because she definitely deserves it!
Her songs have great lyrics, good, danceable beats, and great melodies. I really like the sort of mexican style guitar in "Like a Girl In Love." Beautiful stuff.
Great teen pop album--she should've made it past Radio Disney October 1, 2005

Myra first hit the bubblegum Disney music scene in late 2000 but released her sterling pop debut (the appropriate titled MYRA) in 2001. Her song "Miracles Happen" shown on the soundtrack to the hit-movie The Princess Diaries, and pushed her into the public consciousness (for a brief moment, of course). MYRA is an absolutely amazing teen pop release (songs like opener "Lie," "Candy Boy" and ballady "Wishing on the Same Star" all prove her vocal abilities to persuade) and Myra herself possesses some really strong and powerful vocals for such a young'n. Too bad she never got past the Radio Disney crowd, because she is a talented artist.

I think the cd is pretty good. I went to the same elementary and middle school as her. She was a grade above me, but she was always singing, when I was in 7th and she was in 8th she left second semester to start recording her cd. She also tried out for the role as Selena when she was younger, but unfortunatly didn't get the part. I wasn't friends with her, but it was hard not to know who she was. It was pretty cool seeing someone you went to school with come out with a cd. But I'd pick up the cd if I were you. The songs are catchy and they are pretty cool.
