Advantages: Plenty of Mariah Hits
Disadvantages: Needs to be updated

I bought this album for my sister as a christmas present and i love the way she keeps playing it because i absolutely love the CD myself. Every single song is key to Mariah's career. She hits the high notes perfectly and she does well to blend Pop and R'n'B. There's many uptempo numbers on the CD like Heartbreaker and Emotions but she excels on ballads such as My All. The only downside of this album is that it needs to be updated with her new stuff ... Read review

Advantages: Some big hits
Disadvantages: Some lesser songs which may not appeal to some people

...This album is a new Greatest Hits collection as you can tell from the not very imaginative title. It's about 9 or 10 years since the last "Best of" was released. Alex has been better received in the UK than anywhere else and more or less lives here now. The album cover shows a rather suave looking Alex. Here's a track listing. 1. Never Knew Love Like This 2. Innocent/Alex 9000/Innocent II 3. Fake 4. All True Man 5. Criticise 6. Saturday Love ...
...9. (What Can I Say) To Make You Love Me 10. The Lovers 11. What's Missing 12. A Broken Heart Can Mend 13. What Is This Thing Called Love? 14. You Were Meant To Be My Lady (Not My Girl) 15. Love Makes No Sense I won't give a track-by-track long description but I will discuss my favourite songs. The opening track sets the tone for the whole album. This is a smooth, sexy soul collection and the songs are either slow soul or funky soul. The first ... Read review

Advantages: Some hits
Disadvantages: Not consistant

...probably enjoy this. 1. Goodies This was Ciara's debut single, which come just after Crunk exploded on the scene, so to see this female responce to this hyped club Hip Hop. She took on the main style of city, Atlanta, and shoved some R&B into it to create Crunk & B. This track is the best example of this unique sound on the whole record. She gets some help from the big Crunk star Petey Pablo, aiding her along the process to project her into the ...
...able to pull this off without this colloabo with te immergence of the new branch off Crunk, which as massive then. I thought that it was slightly too soft to compare to the other single whoich followed it, but it still remains one of the better ones. **Four Stars** 2. 1, 2 Step If you are a big Hip Hopper then you will immediately recognise the sample of Afrika Bambaataa's "Planet Rock", but with as softer, less electro style to the orginal as ...

Advantages: will get you up dancing, catchy stuff
Disadvantages: she should ditch the ballads

...latter category. 1. Goodies featuring Petey Pablo 2. 1, 2 Step featuring Missy Elliot 3. Thug Style 4. Hotline 5. Oh featuring Ludacris 6. Pick up the phone 7. Lookin at you 8. Ooh Baby 9. Next to you 10. And I 11. Other Chicks 12. The Title 13. Goodies featuring TI and Jazzie Pha "Goodies" opens the proceedings and it is instantly infectious, built around a high pitched whining hook. Ciara's vocals are decidedly understated on this tune ...
...beats. It truly lives up to the "crunk 'n'b" label - I have spent many a crazy and drunk time getting my groove on along with it in a pub or club just in the last couple of months! "1,2 Step", her forthcoming single, follows along in a similar vein - a catchy hook, clever style of singing - but is possibly even more infectious. It has been co-written by Missy Elliot and she features on the track along with Ciara. I think it will definitely be another ... Read review
