Customer Reviews of This Album/CD |

 Never liked this album when it came out!

| I personally liked her first album when it came out. I thought it was catchy,poppy, and was fun to listen to. The only reason she really got popular was because she was smart and expanded herself catering to a more "White" audience. Especially with the unfaithful video. When this came out I thought there were way way too many carbon copies that out there and to me this seemed really medieocure. Even compared to Beyonce(and i was getting tired of her). Unfaithful was ok. I don't really think she can sing that well, well at least ballads shes got more of a pop voice(which is ok). My favorite track was Kisses Don't Lie, I actually think she'd be a better rock singer then pop/r&b singer. This track is a hidden gem and really shows that she's got some talent. I also loved SOS when it came out. i thought the video was fresh, the song was hot, and it had great beats. The rest of this cd and much of her career seems like kind of lackluster for me. She's really not that good to me, and alittle young for me. Even though were the same age. It just seems like she caters to the nickoledeon crowd to much! |

 Playful, but unfulfilling

It's playful, but a bit unfulfilling.
SOS is fun, playful, though I found it very annoying. It's redundant, moreso than it needs to be. It does not progress. It's also childish. Kisses Don't Lie starts off like a sing song type tune. It progresses quite well and is more mature than SOS. It is still able to be considered fun, though being more soulful. It seems like it would be easy to dance to with a catchy hook.
Unfaithful is both beautiful and sad. The lyrical content is lovely, a bit poetic, but some people seem to take the murderer lines a little too seriously. The background is also gorgeous. It's easy to see why this song was a single. It is beautifully symbolic and very mature. We Ride is very interesting, but the background clashes with her voice and makes it difficult to listen to. Perhaps a different background would have been more appropriate. It reminded me of Destiny's Child, only it seemed to be more childish.
Dem Haters had kind of an island feel, which made it fun. It was bland in some spots, though, but overall was a pretty good song. Final Goodbye, on the other hand, was a very pretty song, but was very sad. It almost seemed like it could be a funeral song, except some might think it was inappropriate to play a Rihanna song at a funeral. It was very solemn, and beautifully written.
Break it Off had some more of the island feel, which made it more danceable. It was kind of juvenile, though. Crazy Little Thing Called Love also had the same feel that Dem Haters and Break it Off had, and seemed appropriate for teens falling love, but not grown ups.
Selfish Girl continued the island feel. It was an interesting sound, but her voice was too whiny in the song. She sounds like a spoiled brat, instead of a selfish girl. It sounds like something a five year old could have come up with. PS (I'm Still Not Over You) has a bit of the sing song tone to it, but it's a better song than some of the stuff on her album. It is, unfortunately, too quickly paced for the content, and seems like something you'd find on the back half of a Britney Spears album. It's cute, but it definitely could have been better.
A Girl Like Me starts beautifully, but quickly it becomes obvious that it's going to get worse as it goes on. When the tempo picks up, it seems completely out of place in terms of what a good song is supposed to sound like. Just too quick to be good, and makes her seem like she's in a rush. A Million Miles Away starts lovely and sounds romantic to someone not paying close enough attention, but is a bit sad when you begin to look into the deeper meaning of the words. She showcases her voice quite well. My only complaint is her enunciation on some of the words. If It's Lovin' That You Want - Part Two is another dance song. It has a bit of a bitter and unfulfilling beginning. It gets a little better. The lyrics are a bit childish and a little annoying.
The album is okay. Nothing too special, but the ballads are awesome. It's a little boring, but much of it is childish. It sounds like it was written for kids, but marketed to adults. I don't know if I'd recommend it.

| I love this CD. Its very good. Her goal was for this album was to find songs that express many things young women want to say, but might not know how. Dropping from the harmonic heavens to the groovalistic dance floor, she released "S.O.S", a sizzling summer song from 2006. With this album she proved that her breakthrough was no fluke. This album has been certified Platinum. |
