1) Amanda Louisa Kretz … Read Full Bio ↴There are more than one artist named Amanda.
1) Amanda Louisa Kretz Lameche, known professionally as Amanda, (born March 24, 1985 in French Alps, France) is a French-born, Swedish pop singer who started getting involved in music after her family settled in Täby, Sweden. While taking dance classes, she joined the musical The Sound of Music and was soon singing "Little Stars" at Gothenburg's World Athletic Games. Amanda became the first young female pop act to sign with Madonna's Maverick Records, making her professional debut with "You Don't Stand a Chance", from the Rugrats in Paris movie soundtrack. In 2000, Lameche recorded her debut album, entitled Everybody Doesn't and released it in 2001. The title track "Everybody Doesn't" was her first and only single to date, peaking at #81 on the Billboard Hot 100. There was a scheduled release for a second single, "Can't Stop My Love", but due to lack of album sales, Maverick cancelled the single and dropped Amanda. In 2006 Signature Records gave her a new record deal to record an album set for release in December 2007.
Amanda's younger sister Anaïs Lameche soon joined Laila Bagge's Swedish girl group Play. Amanda received writing credits on Play's debut single, "Us Against the World." When Play filmed a video for "It's a Hard Knock Life" in 2003, Amanda substituted for Faye Hamlin, who was sick at the shoot, in some scenes.
2) Written as AmAndA, this sextet evolved from the southwestern suburbs of Brussels, with a very theatrical (with some original accessories and decors) symphonic prog with a modern edge, but expanding a vast and humorous world, sung in French (and sometimes in Latin), which fascinates the audiences.
Their debut album Qui Est AmAndA? came out in 02, and the group slowly acquired a strong local following, their music sometimes reminding of a proggier Queen (Bohemian Rhapsody-like) and Ange. Two years later the group issued a single called Voilà, which would find a way of the future album. While their second album the excellent La Maison De Flore had to wait until 07, the group achieved another big project almost simultaneously, as they recorded in the Universirté of Louvain La Neuve, their music accompanied by a 50 musician symphonic orchestra. This is also bound to be released soon.

(5) Also known as AMANDA THE POWER CHILD, the "Amanda" recordings have emerged as an unexpected cult sensation on my WFMU program over the past two years. The chronicles feature Amanda Whitt, a growling (think Cookie Monster), defiant pre-pubescent with a Southern twang spewing mayhem over 1980s breakbeats and disjointed shards of pop hits. On some tracks Amanda shrieks while clanging pots & pans. The recordings exude undeniable charm, but there's nothing cute about it. Any sentient adult witnessing this behavior would commence punitive action or summon law enforcement.
Power-child Amanda was recorded between 1986-89 at home in Alabama, between ages 8 and 11, by her older (by 7 or 8 years) brother Joseph (a.k.a. Jody). Joseph and Amanda were a couple of hyperactive kids pretending to be, respectively, a music video director and a child star. Most recordings were captured on cassette, others on video cam, in the lowest of lo-fi. The duo sometimes enlisted friends in the frolics, and often drove their parents crazy (with incidents caught on tape). The most durable performances were titled (e.g., "The Pickle People," "Horrible Hybrid Tulips," "Indian Hoots Echo Baby," "Me Swinging in Cookieland") and compiled on "albums," whose design awkwardly replicated the commercial cassette format. Inserts were pasted up and xeroxed, and collections assigned titles (e.g., Primitive Swagger, Monumental Whopper Turmoil Jam, Empires and 5th Dimension Perspective, and Worship Me). The recordings were not circulated beyond friends.
Amanda's singular appeal is difficult to explain. There's no artifice, and nothing remotely arty. At their best, the recordings are compelling in a car-wreck way. At their worst, they're a couple of obnoxious brats with a cheap tape deck. Yet Amanda's voice conveys elusive qualities with enormous appeal. Her delivery is brutal, her growl unearthly; yet there's a transcendent joy in her lack of inhibition. The gal has a repertoire of shrieks, howls, swoops and pet phrases. Most of my listeners find the recordings diverting and entertaining. A few strongly dissent‹one to the point of suicidal threats. You either get it or you don't. -----IRWIN CHUSID

On The Way
Amanda Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
We are the guides
We are the teachers
As the new world arrives
Come gather now children
And don’t be afraid
We will stand while you’re dreaming
And nothing will be the same anymore
A change like no change ever before
‘Cause there’s more ways to love you
Than words could ever describe
More ways to love you
Than ideas in your mind
All the tribes come together
As one on this day
And all the pathways to heaven
Lead on the great highway
We will not be divided
Within ourselves become whole
And we will look at each other
With new eyes and new souls
And nothing will be the same anymore
And the mouth of creation will roar
And there’s more ways to love you
Every song ever sung
More ways to love you
Than any race ever run
More ways to love
Than every game ever played
More ways to love you
Than any moments ever made
Oh and nothing will be the same anymore
And the mouth of creation will roar
And there’s more ways to love you
Than all the stars in the sky
More ways to love you
Than all the tears every cried
More ways to love you
Than every baby being born
More ways to love you
Than every story ever heard
The song "On the Way" by Amanda is a powerful and inspiring call to action for all of humanity. The lyrics speak of a new world arriving, and how we must all come together as one to guide, teach and stand by each other during times of change. The song is a message of hope, urging us all to look at each other with new eyes and new souls, and to recognize that there are more ways to love each other than we can ever imagine.
The song begins by declaring that "We are the people, we are the guides, we are the teachers, as the new world arrives." This sets the tone for a call to action, inviting us all to take up the challenge of leading the way into the new world. The tone is confident and optimistic, urging us not to be afraid, and promising that we will stand by each other through thick and thin.
The chorus of the song is particularly powerful, with the repeated refrain "there's more ways to love you", emphasizing that love is the key to our collective success. The song urges us to come together as one, to put aside our differences and to recognize that we are all one people, united by our shared humanity. In the end, the song promises that nothing will ever be the same again, and that we will all be changed by the experience.
