之后，在一次名为Christian Youth Conference的巡演中，她再次向唱片公司证明了自己的实力。在这次巡演中，她的名字和Kirk Franklin，God's Property等人的名字一起出现在了宣传海报上，这使她歌唱生涯的发展有了新的机会，她顺利的和Sony唱片公司签约。随后不久她就和另一个当红的男孩乐团98'一起展开了巡回的演唱活动，来为她不久就将发行的第一张个人专辑宣传造势，与上一次不同的是，这次她在也不用担心唱片公司会破产了。

　　1999年11月9日，Jessica Simpson的第一张个人专辑《Sweet Kisses》终于摆上了柜台，但是销量并不十分显眼，在Billboard 200排行榜上的最高位置也只是第25位。2001年5月第二张专辑《Irresistible》也上市发行，销量明显比第一张要好出许多。2003年8月，Jessica Simpson的第三张个人专辑《In This Skin》正式发行

when you told me you loved me - jessica simpson
… music …
once
doesn't mean anything to me
come
show me the meaning of complete
where
did our love go wrong
once we were so strong
how can i go on?

when you told me you loved me
did you know it would take me the rest of my life
to get over the feeling of knowing
a dream didn't turn out right
when you let me believe that you weren't complete
without me by your side
how could i know
that you would go
that you would run
baby, i thought you were the one

why
can't i just leave it all behind
i
felt passion so bright that i was blind
then
something made me weak
talking in my sleep
baby, i'm in so deep and you know i believed

when you told me you loved me
did you know it would take me the rest of my life
to get over the feeling of knowing
a dream didn't turn out right
when you let me believe that you weren't complete
without me by your side
how could i know
that you would go
that you would run
baby, i thought you were the one

your lips
your face
something that time just can't erase
find my heart
could break
all over again

when you told me you loved me
did you know it would take me the rest of my life
to get over the feeling of knowing
a dream didn't turn out right
when you let me believe that you weren't complete
without me by your side
how could i know
that you would go
that you would run
baby, i thought you were the one

　这首《故事》第一次听到是原唱法国女歌手Viktor Lazlo演唱的，当时没觉得这首歌有多么伤感多好听；后来又听到齐豫翻唱的这首歌，感觉齐豫诠译的这首歌要比欧美歌手强百倍，她的演唱赋于了原曲新的生命。
齐豫的声音，犹如天籁，纯粹，清澈，飘渺但不虚无 , 在噪音一样的流行乐坛中，竟然有这样一种声音，悠扬而深邃，成熟而又柔情，纯正而又自然，那是齐豫的天籁之音在天地苍穹间轻舞飞扬！在这片弥漫着感性与艺术的灵魂空间， 音乐难得有奇遇！ 在台湾流行乐坛上，一听就能辨认的声音并不多，而齐豫就是其中最富声音特质的一位歌手。齐豫的音乐，不带一丝的张狂，一丝的冲动，只是在默默的守候中，带来惊喜。 这张唱片是1987年齐豫赴新加坡制作并演唱个人第一张英文专辑[STORIES]。



　　一起来聆听我们的天籁之音－－－齐豫。。。。

这首歌描写的是一位姑娘决定结束自己生命之前对童年和初恋的缅怀，大段自言自语似的独白，带着北美印第安人音乐味道的旋律给人一种凄美的感觉。歌词大意：我还清楚地记得，故事开始的时候，秋叶正飘零，缓缓落地，覆盖在我们曾畅游的湖上，那时阳光是多么灿烂，那时的我也是快乐无比，以为你我的感觉一样，可事实是你早想离我而去，只是在那个美丽的夜晚，你不敢说出真相，望着湖面，朦胧中感觉到你在说，我们的故事就要结束。现在的我独自伫立在这里，没有人来抹去我的泪水，没有人给我温暖，没有人伴我漫步，没有人让我动情，没有人让我完整，我该怎样去做？孤单地站在这里，我不清楚，对于我这颗伤痛的心，我该怎么做，请告诉我。雨水抹杀了夏季最后的日子，你很久前夺去我最后一丝爱的气息。我仍不敢再次投入爱河。你已带走我的爱，现在我站在这里，知道自己注定是被遗弃的人。我依然望着湖面，朦胧中感觉到，我已知道，我的生命就要结束

stories

(独白)
i remember quite clearly now when this story happened
the autumn leaves were floating and measured down to the ground
recovering the lake where we used to swim like children
on the sun would dare to shine
that time,we used to be happy
well,i thought we were
bnt the truth was that -- you had been longing to leave me
not daring to tell me
on that precious night watching the lake vaguely conscious
you said: our story was ending

now i'm standing here
no one to wipe away my tears
no one to keep me warm
and no one to walk along with
no one to make me feel
no one to make me whole
oh ! what am i to do ?
i'm standing here alone
it doesn't seem so clear to me
what am i supposed to do about this burningheart of mine
oh ! what am i to do ?
or how should i react ?
oh ! tell me please !
(独白)
the rain was killing the last days of summer
you had been killing my last breath of love
since a long time ago ......
i still don't think i'm gonna male it through another love story
you took it all away from me
and there i stand , i knew i was gonna be the ...
the one left behind
but still i'm watching the lake vaguely conscious
and i knew ----
my life is ending

now i'm standing here
no one to wipe away my tears
no one to keep me warm
and no one to walk along with
no one to make me feel
no one to make me whole
oh ! what am i to do ?
i'm standing here alone
it doesn't seem so clear to me
what am i supposed to do about this burningheart of mine
oh ! what am i to do ?
or how should i react ?
oh ! tell me please !

Alison Krauss这个女歌手从走上音乐道路时就是乡村音乐界最耀眼也最被期待的明星，她一直跟蓝草风格的Union Station乐队合作到现在。
听Alison Krauss唱歌恍如站在轻风吹拂大草原上享受和煦的阳光，（Blue Grass 兰草音乐）《Let Me Touch You For Awhile》、《The Lucky One》等曲子反复听几十遍都觉得时间过得太快，孤独，而且最好有点寂寞的时候适合欣赏Alison Krauss，内在的、外在的、氛围都很安静。Alison单薄而清亮的歌声时而欢喜昂扬，时而抑郁低吟，很简单的音乐，很平实地唱着生活中的点点滴滴。这是一种不愠不火，温暖却忧郁，柔美又坚强的，一种舒服得令人掉泪的感动。

Alison Krauss多次被评为世界最美的女声,是当今美国兰草音乐的领军者，“兰草音乐”（Blue Grass）是美国民间音乐的一种，从上世纪二十年代出现并开始发展，在新世纪里未显丝毫颓败之势，因Alison 这样优秀兰草歌手的不断革新，使兰草音乐焕发出更为迷人的气质，作品逐渐挤占主流唱片市场份额，且在全球都拥有越来越多的歌迷。

Alison的歌曲之所以吸引人是因其个人演唱魅力和她所创作的精致、纯正的兰草音乐。Alison的歌曲中使用的乐器依然是小提琴、曼陀铃、木吉他和斑鸠琴这样兰草的标准乐器，编曲配器也绝少矫饰，没有任何世俗渲染的音乐配上Alison Krauss清泉般透彻的歌声，使得兰草音乐愈加发扬光大。

Let Me Touch You For A while


it doesn’t matter what I want.
不必在乎我需要什
It doesn’t matter what I need.
不必在乎我渴望什么
It doesn’t matter if I cry.
如果我哭了 别担心
Don’t matter if I bleed.
即使伤心欲绝 别难过
You’ve been on  a road.
因为 你已上路
Don’t know where it goes or where it leads.
就算不知从何而来又将去向何处
It doesn’t matter what I want.
不必在乎我的向往
It doesn’t matter what I need.
不必在乎我的渴望
If you’ve made up your mind to go.
如果你心意已决
I won’t beg you to stay.
我不会成为你的羁绊
You’ve been in a cage.
打开禁锢的牢笼
Throw you to the wind you fly away.
掷自己于青空 远飞在风中
It doesn’t matter what I want.
别驻足 尽管我那么向往
It doesn’t matter what I need.
别回头 尽管我那么渴望It doesn’t matter if I cry.
如果我哭了 别担心
Doesn’t matter if I bleed.
即使心如刀割 别难过
Feel the sting of tears.
让我感受泪水的灼热
Falling this face you’ve loved for years.
任由它在你曾经深爱的脸颊上 轻轻滑落

有人说Keren Ann的东西适合作为全世界任何一家咖啡馆的背景音乐，显然这也很合理，但窃以为如此华美却又极简矜持的作品更适合于私人聆听。它让生活可以变得轻巧和美丽，"我尽量不记起，胜过再去忘记"；也可以暂别执迷和浮躁，面对潮起潮落人来人往却"Not Going Any Where"。生活不在此处的庸俗和别处的虚妄，那么生活在内心，感觉就像当年听见Sparklehorse唱着"我想作一匹马，充满永不蔓延的火焰。" 凯伦安美妙的轻声细语-----犹如易碎水晶玻璃-----又仿若湿润夏季里轻凉的山泉。用爱来《守候》让都市中潮起潮落人来人往的人们暂别心中的执迷和浮躁。
「Keren Ann」的这张专辑《Not Going Anywhere》，甜美，纯净，忧伤，梦幻，从音乐中脱离开来的一切元素，都是抽象的。而越抽象的东西就越教人迷恋，有一些握也握不住的情绪，一纵即逝，即便如此，也无法心生眷念，如同肉眼所看到的，水中月，镜中花，可以触碰，却永远无法得到。

  开始的鼓点就能透人心脾，
  就能让你下决心去喜欢它！
  有种特别轻松的感觉，
  脚会不由自主的跟着打拍子。
  男声磁性灌着穿透力，女声悠远，
  两人的合声也清新昂然，毫不做作。
  历经沧桑，放下了所有重负，
  即使风尘仆，亦朝着远方，迎着夕阳走下去，
  寻找着自己的自由。
  
  你完全可以感觉到在鼓声和乡村吉他之间
  穿透出来的那种热情洋溢和阳光灿烂。
  这音乐能在冬日抵挡寒冷，
  这歌声能让花儿随着歌声摇摆起来！
  希望你们也能和这首歌一样每天都能
  轻装前行！
