    Not only the title of the album was a signal that the group was coming to an end, but you could also tell from the lack of effort and power displayed in all these songs.

    I think the first 2 songs were catchy but not particularly original. I had expected more from the later tracks but was equally, if not more dissappointed. Now I wonder what the next rack will be. . .

    I think the songs should have been a little bit better. But, because of one bad album that doesn't change me from liking the group

    I'm going to give them the benefit of the doubt, half and half! It's about time that Kelly and Michelle get a chance to sing! They might enjoy each other for the moment, but as always Beyonce' just has to have the spotlight, and they all will be doing their own things again! Michelle sounds better singing gospel anyway!

    You have to give it to these three grls .. they harmonize like crazi. But their music doens't exactly live up to their voices. Some of its catchy, some of its dull, and most of it is just has you longing for Beyonce's next solo project. A good plus is the new sexed up, muscled out Kelley Rowland. A horrible minus are songs like 'T-Shirt' and 'Soldier'. You have to give it to these three grls .. they harmonize like crazi. But their music doens't exactly live up to their voices.

    Pros: Lose My Breathe is a good pop cut; Soldier hits of there hip-hop roots; Cater 2 U is a pleasing ballad; Girl, the best cut on the album, is a sweat sounding r&b cut Cons: Only the singles are worth listening to, the ballads other than Cater 2 U and Girl are all crap Overview: Just buy the singles off iTunes, and get the ONLY good part of the album

    To be honest never been a fan of destiny child only good song is "Say My Name", the rest is mediocre, her solo album okay not worth 5 grammys. This is toilet the only decent songs are Lose my Breath and Girl but even these are forgettable, i am glad this will be the last album for them as i think thsi is a con on their fans and the music industry, if you ever come up with another album To be honest never been a fan of destiny child only good song is "Say My Name", the rest is mediocre, her solo album okay not worth 5 grammys.

Enough of the drab crap! Also Beyonce stop cat screeching, we know you can sing but cut the over singing, you are not aretha franklin or tina turner.… Expand

    Unlike many R&B artists, Destiny's Child are actively bad at singing ballads, which mostly turn out mawkish, aimless and dull.

    Often moves at a molasses-like pace, weighted down with a preponderance of exquisitely executed but ultimately dull ballads. [26 Nov 2004, p.117]

    Destiny Fulfilled starts off pitifully and only gets worse.
