9	Anastacia Lyn Newkirk (born September 17, 1968) is an American recording artist and singer who first made it big in 1999 with her global smash hit "I'm Outta Love", the second single off of her debut album ''Not that Kind''. Afterwards she went on to become a global super star with two other smash albums 2001's ''Freak of Nature'' and 2004's ''Anastacia''. Her international success was immense as she was said to have sold 20 million records by 2005 with just her first three albums alone. However, despite her global success she was never successful in her home country, in fact only one of her songs has even managed to chart on the Hot 100. She then went on to release a greatest hits album, ''Pieces of A Dream'', in 2005 which was met with moderate success. Unfortunately, her career began to slow down after 2008's ''Heavy Rotation'' which failed to meet the performance of her previous three albums. In 2012 she released a cover album titled ''It's a Man's World'' and followed it up with two further studio albums, ''Resurrection'' in 2014 and ''Evolution'' in 2017.

29	!!Tropes:
30	* BathingBeauty. In the mid-section of the video for "One Day in Your Life", she is relaxing on a lounger by a pool, but does not join the other characters who are diving and playing in the pool. An elderly neighbour sees the people and tries to spoil their fun by aiming his green hose at the singer, but she simply basks in the improptu hose shower.
31	* BareMidriffsAreFeminine: A common clothing choice, as seen in the page image. She also sported the look in the covers to some of her albums, in her shows and in the video clips for her songs:
32	** In the video for her single "Outta Love", she walks on stage with a bright orange ensemble of pants and a crop top that bares her abdomen.
33	** In the music video for "One Day in Your Life", she wears a belly-revealing blouse both at the start and at the end of the song; in the middle of the video, she is relaxing on a lounger while in a bikini top and a skirt.

38	* ExtremeSportsPlot: In the last third of the music video for "One Day in Your Life", Anastacia sings and dances, with interspersed scenes set at sunset: some men running on the beach with their surfboards, people playing volleyball, and people riding bikes and skating on a ramp just behind the singer.
39	* {{Foreshadowing}}: The music video for "One Day in Your Life" begins by panning from a watercolour-like sunny beach with a sports ramp, then pans to a green yard with a pool nearby, then goes through the window to enter the kitchen area of a house. The sequence then shows the watercolour images are from Anastacia's cereal box. However, the singer is having her meal in the same kitchen area depicted in the cereal box, then goes to relax in the yard by the pool, and ends the video in the outdoor beach area with people riding bikes and skating on the same ramp.
