19 is "Right As Rain"

Advantages: Good Music, Good Lyrics
Disadvantages: The style may get a little repetitive, but that isn't too bad.

...I've come to see that 19 is one of the best albums that I own. Adele's vocal range is amazing and utterly beautiful. Every song has meaning. The lyrics are amazing. Some people may say that Adele is the new Amy Winehouse, but from my point of view, she's better. Her style is unmatched. The smoothness of her voice, her lyrics, and her music is amazing. The length of the album is average. 12 songs is not too many, nor too few. Even though Jazz isn't ...

Put this record on! ...the fire...

Advantages: Has a pretty front cover...
Disadvantages: Delivery isn't up to the standard it should be...

AHHHHHHHHHHHHH! This is one of the most frustrating albums I have ever had to endure... It lives off the reputation of a couple of songs, and frankly, is a dissapointment, and this is coming from someone who didn't have high expectations to start with! It is a weird mixture of chilled out music, mixed with a couple of 'up-beat' tracks, mixed with fillers (Tracks just put there to make the album long enough to call and album). She regularly overstretches ...
...she just does not sing well enough to sing the songs she writes, a couple of her songs have excellent lyrics, but she just can't deliver them to make their full potential. Maybe she should switch to just writing songs and letting others deliver them properly. You may think I am being harsh, well maybe I am a little... There are a few good tracks on this album, ones I would recommend to download are Put Your Records On, Till it Happens to You and ...

...search about her on internet. Mind Body And Soul is one of great vocal album, with modern blues and soul melody that brought by really young talented singer. This is a strong album and everyone have to listen to this. I do realy sure that Joss Stone would be one of the great woman singer ever with unique vocal in the future. She is the next Aretha Franklin and Whitney Houston. I love Joss Stone. ...

The Queen Of Soul

Advantages: Every recording is good to totally superb!
Disadvantages: NONE!

...along those speedy verses of Respect (origanally by Otis Redding) with such startling conviction and when she sings those lyrics you just KNOW she means every word she says. Her pronounciations and impeccable lyrical phrasing is remarkably effective on this explosive classic and Respect rates as one of her most popular and definitive classics. As well as the more urban-contemporary material, Aretha proved most adept at experimenting in a number of ...
...equally compelling on the ballads. I Say A Little Prayer was one of her most passionate, heart-felt ballads. Whilst the lyrics were somewhat simplistic, Aretha could shrewdly plumb such depth with a straight-foward song such as this. Dr. Feel Good, the fabulous Think (which she would update in the movie, The Blue Brothers) and the sparse production of Chain Of Fools continued her staggering run of classic hits and all conveyed such an undeniably ...

Quality throughout from the girl with the "Umbrella"

Advantages: Strong album tracks to back the numerous singles. Showcases Rihanna's vocal range.
Disadvantages: More ballads might win over more fans.

...and "Disturbia" are just as good a reason for making a purchase along with the aforementioned "Take A Bow". Being a fan of Maroon 5 also means that "If I Never See Your Face Again" is a personal favourite track. Strong throughout, I think Rihanna may struggle to emulate what she has acheived with this album when it comes time to release album number 4. ...
