Introducing the face of Boogie SuperStar: Natasha Bedingfield  photo

There's International music sensations and then there's Natasha Bedingfield, who has taken "International music sensation" to the next level as the face up Electronic Arts' upcoming Boogie SuperStar. 

Who the the hell is Bedingfield? She's that blonde who sings the song about opening up dirty windows and feeling the rain on your skin. It's called "Unwritten." It's a hit. The kids are listening to it. This is a huge coup for Electronic Arts' marketing department; this game is going to sell millions.

"Boogie SuperStar brings to life all the fun and excitement of performing," said Bedingfield. "Being on stage is such a thrill and it's great to be a part of an EA videogame that lets girls experience how much fun it is to express themselves and explore their own creativity by performing."

Old news, Natasha: Carmen Electra did that in 2003 with her The Lap Dance & Hip-Hop workout DVD. We attempted to contact our tween correspondent Taylor Tiffany for comment, but school's in session and she won't be available until after cheerleading practice this afternoon. Rah rah, go St. Anna Prep Walruses!

Press release after the jump.

Bedingfield, who has topped the charts with number one singles and albums in both the U.S. and the U.K., has joined forces with EA to promote the game, which allows girls to perform their favourite Bedingfield songs including her current single Angel, Love Like This, and the title track from her new hit album Pocketful of Sunshine.

In Boogie SuperStar, players don’t just play along, they are the star of the game. Girls will have a blast belting their favourite tunes into the microphone, and performing real dance moves that are captured on screen using the Wii’s motion-sensing technology and the journey to stardom doesn’t have to be a solo! girls can also sing and dance with or against their friends in fun competitions that show off their singing and dancing talent.

We’ve been actively involved in Natasha’s career since its inception, and we’re proud to have a star like her actively involved.”

They need to make a Wii game based on Simple Jack, I think that would finally utilize the general retardation of gimmicky motion controls to it's fullest: Help Jack hit the butterfly with the mallet!

If this yields more "Wii hulahoop"-like youtube videos, count me in.

Save for Stronger and even Thnks Fr Th Mmrs, that has got to me one of the most awful game soundtracks I have ever seen.

Then again, I guess this game doesn't really cater to me. Oh well.

First Sony uses Duffy, now these guys use Natasha Bedingfield. Stop using British singers that American's don't know about game companies!

MS used Duffy - I agree with you though, they need to stop using artists no one cares about.

Theres only 3 good British Artists. Iron Maiden, Black Sabbath and Judas Priest. Nothing else is worth the CD they've printed on. Take note games companies.

so... EA's idea of a new game is to use pop songs from 8 months ago or more?

Maybe they should have used her way back when her song was a hit.
