"Wow. Madison Square Garden already...doesn't get much better than that...with chops that can light a candle or ignite gasoline, who knows where this young girl's headed. Get this CD and guarantee yourself a seat in the limo when Morgan accepts her Grammy! In the old days they used to have a "make it or break it" on the radio. This one would definitely be a MAKE it!".... Lou Costello, WVLT FM 92.1.

Delivered by a set of pipes that not only belong on someone twice her age but can be as soft and sweet as Marilyn Monroe's voice, or as wallop-packing as Cher's deep, techno-twinge, this xxplosive and energetic powergirl-themed pop CD, with its driving rhythms and infectious melodies, is guaranteed to stick in your head like peanut butter sticks to the roof of your mouth.

A little Mandy Moore and early Christina Aguilera...but with a sound no one owns but Morgan herself.

And while most aspiring pop stars make a CD in order to become famous and get a major recording deal, Morgan's motivation was more simple and yet complex than that.

Not unlike Morgan herself.

Morgan's journey began a couple of years ago while sitting in the waiting room of her doctor's office with her mom, browsing through magazines: "There were articles about moms who didn't like the pop star role models their daughters were trying to look and dress like. And these pop stars didn't want the responsibility of being a role model. I thought, that given the opportunity, it would be an honor to be considered a role model."

Fast forward two years later, and, true to her word, we have Morgan's debut CD, titled simply "MORGAN".

Her choice of cover songs was equally simple: She wanted fun and liberating songs with a good beat, yet with a message aimed at encouraging girls to be confident, take-charge and independent. When Morgan first heard Cyndi Lauper's "Girls Just Want to Have Fun", she assumed it was (and why not?) "Girls Just Want to Have Funds".

And she wanted songs that everyone could relate to. With her high-energy, promising-not-to-let-up beat so that no lion, plant or human could or would want to sleep rendition of "The Lion Sleeps Tonight" she so impressed an industry icon, Jay Siegel of Jay Siegel and the Tokens, that he and The Tokens are her backup vocals on her version.

"Definitely another #1 hit; look out United States AND Europe!"...Jay Siegel

Morgan proves her penchant for wistful balladry in her passionate yet tender delivery of "Wind Beneath My Wings", also known as "Hero" -- which is even more appreciated when aware of her mature perspective on why she chose this song to record: "It's a song dedicated to my mom - actually all moms who put their own goals aside and sacrifice for their kids."

All this, combined with Morgan's own song, "Be an Original", packed with positive lyrics, should convince young girls everywhere to take risks, to put themselves out there, and that sticking together - whether across oceans or across the hall at school -- is the quickest way to empowerment.

"We listen to the CD every day! Emily absolutely LOVES it! The "Be an Original" song has become a life lesson for her to learn how to do her thing and also to do the right thing even when her friends are not! Thank you so much for that! That is a very mature message and I am impressed and thankful that Morgan wrote about it. Sometimes it is so hard to get a message like that across and that song became a bridge for us...Betsey D., a mom.

And for the tween and teen crowd, Morgan again strikes a chord with her lyrics in "Got a Crush on Him", with its focus on today's crushes created via the internet, as well as her assertive and "sassy but not trashy" execution of "(I'm Telling You) You're in Love with Me".

With a voice that could easily transcend Broadway or the Met, this is a young girl talented and flexible enough to sing any style of music - country or classical, pop or rock, Broadway or ballads -- having grown up listening to her parents' dinner parties' musical mixes of Sarah Brightman to Shaggy to Selena, and Pavarotti to Percy to Patsy to Prince.

"Morgan could easily be an opera, classical or Broadway singer; I know of only three or four people who can hit 'high high' F -- 2 1/2 octaves above Middle C -- let alone a 12-year-old...and the only singer I know who sings the national anthem and ends up on the same key they started out in. She has no idea how talented she really is"...Michael Roberts, Musical Director for Broadway Kids Sing Broadway.

"Morgan's voice has texture, color and character and her performance skills are natural yet professional... can't wait to see what another 24-36 months will bring"...Doug Breitbart, former manager of recording artist Debbie Gibson.

To be around Morgan -- who enjoys shopping, going online, getting good grades in school, hanging out with friends - while still finding time to help homeless animals, sing for senior citizens at extended-care facilities, and perform for V-day, a global movement to stop worldwide violence against girls and women -- is truly refreshing.

"...an ABC -- the 'Antithesis of Britney & Christina' -- newcomer."...Karen Lodge, Media Managers.

Still answering to the nickname "Spud", she is a lethal combination of youthful spirit and spunk, with a poise and presence of someone who could have stepped out of the pages of "Town and Country".

Although currently maintaining a low profile, Morgan proved that her talent truly transcends all ages and genders when she recently burst upon the stage of "the world's most famous arena", Madison Square Garden, performing before over 14,000 people.

"She brought the house down...a standing ovation and an audience response that registered on the sound meter as high as or higher than any exciting moment in any game!"...Madison Square Garden representative.

She will be returning on November 22, 2003 to sing the national anthem for a New York Knicks game.

With a smile that could single-handedly eradicate spam, in May 2003 Morgan was chosen by The Creative Coalition, a nonprofit, nonpartisan organization comprised of people in the entertainment industry, to get the crowd "in the mood" for a live auction held to raise monies for funding the arts and entertainment in public schools.

"She didn't just command the stage, she commandeered it!...to see all those little girls jump up and go running after Morgan as she left the stage gave me goose bumps"...

"...Not only talented but incredibly brave to get up in front of 400 people who could literally make or break your career before its even started!"...John Hurley, star of Seinfeld and the evening's emcee.

But brave she is: Among her future goals are to sing at Yankee Stadium, the Superbowl and...Carnegie Hall. And we have no doubt that she'll be there one day, equally comfortable with -- and getting a standing ovation from -- either venue.

In Morgan's opinion, getting up in front of 400, 14,000 or 400,000 is nothing "compared to having 14 kids in your computer class pull up your web site and tease you! I can handle it."

Right now she just wants to hone her songwriting skills, which she is surely to do having been the youngest songwriter to be accepted in the Proshop of the Songwriters Guild of America, take up guitar lessons, and continue perfecting her craft.

Morgan's only regret -- what with voice and dance lessons, practicing and performing with a young performing group she belongs to called "Young Stars USA", school and homework -- is that a schedule like that doesn't leave her a lot of time to sing at the long-term care facility or volunteer at the animal shelter. Morgan's solution to that is to donate a portion of every "MORGAN" CD sold to SAVE (www.save-animals.org)

So get that peanut butter sandwich, crank up the volume and grin, 'cause you're in for a thrill with this grounded girl!

At the end of this CD you'll find your ears wanting more, rooting for this undiscovered talent to rise to the top, where she's sure not to disappoint!

    author: Christine H. Pfeiffer

    sooooo...it is a cold night in Calgary, Alberta, Canada and I am being warmed by the essence of Morgan's voice. Is it true that she released this album when she was 12 or am I functioning with a frozen brain? My questions...what is she doing today and what are her plans for tomorrow? This is a girl and this is a voice that I want to follow! What a positive role model she is for young women as they make their choices and as they make their decisions. Finally...somebody who is not selling alcohol, drugs and sex! She encourages young women to believe in themselves and in their individuality! Buy this CD and give it to all your friends who are coping with teenagers! Good luck, Morgan! With love from Canada...Canadian Christine

  • An amazing CD Morgan!
    author: MarkJ

    Thanks to modern techology I've compared The Lion Sleeps Tonight, with a host of other artists and you're definately up there, head to head, with the likes of The Tokens and Robert John. You did say you were 13?? Your singing is great and I have two requests. Blow American Idol out of the water when you get a free moment and be sure to make a second album! I really appreciate the fact you're a true idol in that you do your part protecting animals! I wish you every success!

  • can't get enough of it

    author: Biz Polakoff aka Dr. Teapot

    You are amazing. I heard you sing in 6th grade and i knew that you were going places. You are honestly amazing. Everyone thinks so. Jordan was sooo upsetwhen you guys broke up He doesn't deserve a girl like you. You are a triple threat. You can sing, dance and act. Maybe you should go to American Idol lol. I just wanna wish you luck since you left the district n i hope you can find eternal happiness in your music

  • OMG Spectacular
    author: Scott Gross- your BFF

    Whew girl you can sing like no other and i have heard madonna sing and aretha franklin sing and OMG you are the greatest i wish i could afford the CD but i cant OMG OMG OMG it is like so totally awesome

  • buy this!
    author: Mali

    Morgan has a great voice and she's adorable. I like that proceeds go to animal shelters; it's a very important cause. People compare her to Avril,Mandy...and I think that's accurate. It's about time an artist came along that younger kids can like too that have talent(unlike hilary duff)Don't let anyone compare you to her- you are pretty,thin,talented, and seem sweet. Stay the same and I wish you the highest levels of success.

  • And away goes trouble down the drain...
    author: Stovepipe Wally

    Wow...call the plumber and tell him to leave the Drano at home...this girl can clean a pipe like no bodies business. I put my portable CD player next to my clogged toliet and hit PLAY...within two minutes not only my drain was unclogged but my neighbor called to say...Thank you for unclogging their drains also! Thanks Morgan...I am looking forward to your next album to replace my SoftSoap. P.S. Wood floor or Oscar Gamble...:)

  • BEST CD EVER!
    author: fellow camp member!

    OMG I LOVED IT! it will def. make it and morg will be a star!!

  • Amazingly True and Honest Talent
    author: Matthew Greiner

    I was searching through songs on Rhapsody and came upon Morgan. I was just floored with the first song I heard. I sat and listened to the whole thing. I can't remember the last time I heard someone with such natural true talent. Her voice is real and beautiful. It doesn't need "tweaking" by someone in a sound room. I can't wait to hear her next CD. I have to admit I really surprised I haven't heard her on the radio. I'm in Dallas and maybe it hasn't gotten here yet, but I'm sure when more people hear her she will be huge.

  • Morgan Arons can SING!
    author: Fred Clemens

    There wasn't a single song on Morgan's CD that I didn't like. Now that says alot about her vocal (and writing!) talent. Morgan, ...Thank you for keeping it real, and for letting your talent shine through. It seems to be a rare commodity today, but Mogan's got plenty of honest talent going for her. I think I'll buy another one (it's THAT good!). God Bless You.

  • The CD is GREAT!
    author: Stefani and Alex

    The CD is awesome. We listen to it in the car and in the house 24/7. We love it!

  • Talented AND a philanthropist
    author: Stuart

    We've heard Morgan sing, in person, for several years now. She's a delightful and well-grounded young lady, and we know she is destined for a rewarding musical and acting career -- as well as a life of "giving back" herself, and by leading others, as in her commitment to homeless animals. Keep up the good work, Morgan!

  • Avril Lavigne but so much better
    author: DeBz....

    Its beautiful. she really looks like Avril Lavigne, but Morgan is so much better and she has the most beautiful voice... I bought the cd.

  • Play "that new girl's CD!"

    I bought a CD of Morgan's and played it at my daughter's birthday party. Everyone said, "Who's that!?" They kept asking for me to play "that new girl's CD". A dad.

  • Daughter too young for Britney, too old for Wheels on the Bus
    author: Mrs. Jeamandi

    I'm always looking for appropriate music for my daughter, a "tween" who's too young for Britney yet too old for most "children's" songs. She likes pop music, as most girls her age. Discovering Morgan's CD was like finding something that the market appears to have missed: A pop CD by a young girl, as compared to one by an adult, that fulfills our young girls' need for idolizing pop stars, yet a CD and an artist that WE approve of! And Morgan definitely does not "sing down" to her young audience...she's like what we wish was out there if we could "manufacture" our own pop stars!

  • Best "babysitter" for the money AND the message
    author: Mother of three

    When my three girls got Morgan's CD, they went in their room, shut the door and played it for three hours non-stop! I could hear them singing at the top of their lungs and dancing around the room. They know Morgan's orginal song, "Be an Original" by heart. And I don't think they sang The Little Mermaid song as much with the original Disney version. Every time they have a friend come over they put on her CD and again entertain themselves. Morgan's songs are fun and lively. She's talented...refreshing....AND a wonderful "sitter!" I would highly recommend to any busy parent looking for some diversion time to get this CD!

  • Very impressed...
    author: S.G.

    Dear Morgan, I went to your website. It is very impressive and really quite lovely. We got your CD yesterday and we all listened to it. We really, really liked it, especially the songs that you wrote. I didn't realize you were so serious and so multi-talented. It is wonderful. Everything is so professional. Your parents must be very proud of you. Just wanted to tell you as a mom. Good luck and give your mother my love.

  • Absolutely perfect birthday gifts!
    author: A busy mom

    Besides this being a great, upbeat & fun cd, what a time-saving idea for us busy moms who are always looking for appropriate but fun and inexpensive gifts when our kids get invited to birthday parties. With a stockpile of these I no longer have to drop everything and run out to buy that elusive gift! Come to think of it, what a great stocking stuffer for the holidays...

  • Bravo!
    author: A grandfather

    Her web site is beautiful! What a face! And she has a good voice. I'd say she certainly has a bright future. Bravo Morgan...and bravo to Morgan's mom! From a grandfather with four daughters and four granddaughters.

  • ABSOLUTELY AMAZING
    author: rachel karnofsky

    I remember when morgan arons went to Lake bryn mawr camp and she was in an interlue group with me for SING of 2002. The group wouldnt have been the same withouther. She clearly is a shining star

  • Looks like Avril but appears to be a better role model.....
    author: Anonymous

    Re Reviewer Bonnie's remark about Morgan looking like Avril. I agree! With one comment: Whereas Avril is always snarling in pictures, and either mean -- or trying to look mean -- and apparently thinks smashing her guitar in concerts is cool, Morgan, from what I see, is smiling, confident, and happy....truly refreshing. An aspiring and talented pop star with a good message and an even better attitude....what a concept. I give her a "high-five" for just being Morgan!

  • What a talented girl!
    author: Bonnie

    Morgan is a very talented singer, I like her choice of songs, I wish her the best of luck. (By the way am I the only one who thinks she looks like Avril Lavigne? She's much more talented than Avril though! :))

  • Amazing. Truly music not only for your ears, but for your heart too.
    author: N/A

    This is an amazing CD. I listened to it over and over again and it just brightened up my day. Especially for such a young age, this is an amazing new voice that I hope to hear more of in the years to come.

  • great cd from a girl this age!
    author: robert

    we love this cd! her voice is great, the musical selections are all upbeat, and you feel good after listening to it. we highly recommend morgan's cd.

  • "You are a singular inspiration..."
    author: Roberta Mann

    Dear Morgan, I am in the middle of reading your website and I think it's GREAT! You write a LOT like I do and it makes me wonder if you also speak that way. Very full of life and the essence of honesty. So refreshing in this day and age. You've already accomplished SO MUCH in your short life! I used to drive past the McCarter Theatre in Princeton 4 times a day to and from my son's school there. I never even went in the theatre to see a show, yet you have graced their STAGE! Amazing! You are a singular inspiration to young women all over the world, Morgan. I wish you luck, professional recognition, health and happiness...in short, everything a fine young lady like you deserves. Please continue to "wow" them! In your own words, "...you can accomplish anything." I believe in you!!! All good things always, Roberta Mann, in Middlesex County, NJ P.S. HI MORGAN'S MOM!!!

  • Fun! Appropriate, smooth and different
    author: Franny Fisher-Eastwood

    Her songs are fun and appropriate for all ages. She has a smooth voice and she sings different kinds of songs.

  • It's up-beat, it's fun, it's down-to-earth, and it's great!
    author: Kathy Farrow

    It is so refreshing to hear this vocal talent! The Lion Sleeps Tonight leaves you humming and drumming and Part of Your World gives you goosebumps! Morgan Arons can deliver a song. Be an Original gets you singing right away, and Out of the Blue makes me wonder where this young talent will be in the near future. How refreshing! Way to go, Morgan!

  • Wow! amazing
    author: straboundsteph

    Shes gota na amazing voice! She is a definite inspiration to me. The songs are so much fun something i'd listen to all the time. I can't wait to buy her cd.

  • A terrific cd, a terrific voice!....Her biggest critic & biggest fan: her Mom
    author: MeltdownMom

    She's my kid...I paid to produce it....of course I think it's the greatest thing in the world! Love her, love the cd. Morgan's Mom...aka MeltdownMom
