Touch - Natasha Bedingfield, Peak - 2

This song was initially just supposed to be a promo song for a Nivea commercial.  But then people like me pushed for it to be a single, so they released the song and it flopped hard enough that Natasha might not be able to recover.

I still think the song is awesome.  Some people thought the story she tells is too wordy, but she always tends to be wordy.  Some other people said it sounds like she's trying to hard to jump on the current dance bandwagon, but I totally disagree.  In my opinion, Red One songs and copycats recall C&C Music Factory, Black Box, etc...  something such as Like A G6 kinda throw it back to the mid 90s like Set U Free by Planet Soul.

Unlike the rest of current music that's borrowing from early to mid 90s pure dance music, this brings Where The Streets Have No Name by U2 to mind.

Radio didn't want to play it.  Oh well.  It seems like she has the connections that she'll get another chance.  I see an X Factor US performance in her future in the next two years, and that paired with an uplifting inspirational Natasha song will put her right back on the map.
