    Excellent pop album with touches of R&B and blues. Vanessa Hudgens isn't the most amazing vocalist but she pulls of each song well enough. Not just for the tween crowd anymore, this album has potential to reach out to a broader, older audience. Standouts: Identified, Amazed, Hook It Up, Party on the Moon, and Gone With The Wind.

    I wouldn't recommend this CD to anyone. It is quite a drab. Certainly not her best. Her first album was better than this.

    So far i like one song... Paper Cut....and i stumbled onto that after i had given up on the album after the first 8 songs! the rest is dribble! identified delievers but could have been better if she let go abit more...there was no feeling in this album! Sneaker night is lacking in soooo many ways... it was a blatent advertising tool for red sneakers.... its a pity as her voice could be So far i like one song...

    This is not a good song. Her shorts are way too short. Its a very immodest video. I wouldn't suggest this song to anyone.

    I especially enjoyed Sneaker Night. Vulnerable is a beautiful song and she sings it so well. I think for her age, she has done very well. This album is great to dance to. Vanessa has a great future ahead. She is definitely maturing. Please sign it Izzy. Thanks!

    .And ½ ! I generally like this album. And Vanessa CAN sing . I'm sick of people saying she can't. She's no Aguilera, but neither is Britney and people love her. I would rather listen to Vanessa Hudgens. She still has a long way to go, but she can get there and Im 22, so she must have reached a bit older audience. Highlights: First Bad Habit, Identified, Did it Ever .And ½ ! I generally like this album. And Vanessa CAN sing . I'm sick of people saying she can't.

    It's a great Album. Just as good if not better than her first. I wish she would have released a second single. Cant wait for her third album!!!

    Most of the songs are very good and catchy. The highlights: Last night, Don't Ask Why, Hook It Up, Party On The Moon.

    Identified defines how Hudgens developed into a better artist. It showed how Disney Channel stars can evolve from teen-pop to modern pop. Along with the development, Hudgens still cannot sing.

    A great album. Vanessa hit the choice of songs. Go to a dance pop up a soft R&B.
    It's the kind of album that could please many people, should have had more singles and more disclosure because it is a really good album.

    Despite a few stumbles, Identified achieves its goal: it anticipates that Hudgens' fans will outgrow "High School Musical" soon enough, and gives her a better chance of staying relevant to them as they move on to other kinds of pop music.

    The rest of Identified, though, panders to the preteen demo with stop-start pop that ranges from pleasant (the title track) to dull ("Amazed") to off-putting ("Hook It Up"). But for little girls, this is one nonstop singalong.

    Her voice was made to rip, and when she lets go just a little, the coyness turns sultry--proof that she might just have a life after high school.
