    Again, generic crap from a generic western artist surviving more with bought radioplay than actual sales.

    What happened to Jason Derulo he used to be a highly respectable artist who released several highly impressive singles and albums but this just takes the piss it is pathetic and awful.

    personally i think that it's his best album relased yet, because it's original, and it has a style. He has abandoned his previous public image, for be a sex symbol, and the lyrics of the album show it, yes i know that are really stupid and silly, but they gives to the album a style. The best songs are surely "Talk Dirty", a original R&B/pop track where he shows his ability of make anpersonally i think that it's his best album relased yet, because it's original, and it has a style.

The album is trivial and sloppy, but his originality make this album the best ever made by Derulo yet.… Expand

    Despite the fact that Derulo has a really great voice and usually can craft insanely fun and catchy songs, the best way to describe this album is "sloppy"

    Oh my gosh... Talk Dirty may in fact be one of the worst albums I have ever listened to in my whole entire life - which really didn't surprise me considering it's pop and I usually don't listen to pop as much as I do hip hop. But Derulo marketing this as R&B???? SERIOUSLY????????? Jason, you have a great voice and your music can sometimes be good but this music is not R&B on any standardsOh my gosh... Talk Dirty may in fact be one of the worst albums I have ever listened to in my whole entire life - which really didn't surprise me considering it's pop and I usually don't listen to pop as much as I do hip hop. But Derulo marketing this as R&B???? SERIOUSLY????????? Jason, you have a great voice and your music can sometimes be good but this music is not R&B on any standards at all. This is mainstream pop at its worst. Half of these songs are Fortune (Chris Brown)-type ballads or pop that shows absolutely no originality at all. And I think this album is even worse than Fortune. At least Fortune had more than one good song. And yes, there are one or two good songs on this album but they aren't even that great. I really hope Everything Is 4 will at least be a LITTLE bit better than this - because this is probably one of the worst albums I have ever listened to - and I'm pretty sure Everything Is 4 will be a bit better, based on "Want to Want Me" which is a 5/10 single. Grade: D+. Highlight: "Bubblegum". Worst song: "Marry Me" (seriously? A publicly proposed proposal??? Also, he's doing even worse of a job at making a bad ballad than Chris Brown.)… Collapse

    As catchy as it's hooks may be, Tattoos suffers from painfully bad lyrical material and fails to ever shake off it's typical, run of the mill, Hip Hop feel.

    Metacritic does not have his current album Talk Dirty in the library of music, so that is the album that I am scoring.
    Derulo's last album Future History had a few catchy tracks that were dance worthy. Sadly Future History did not keep up Jason's standards like his debut self-titled album. Talk Dirty is a major improvement from Future History.

Talk Dirty is a major improvement from Future History. This album could possibly be one of the greatest R&B/Dance albums ever made. Every song is perfect. Highlights of the album for me are: Talk Dirty, The Other Side, Trumpets & Marry Me.
    Derulo has become a mega contender in the world of music, thanks to Talk Dirty.    … Expand

    Derulo's clubby hooks are infernally catchy, and he adds a touch of freshness with buoyant forays into rock and salsa.

    Perhaps Derulo has grown as a person since his previous album, but it's hard to call this one a step forward.

    Ultimately, it’s a failure of imagination--reflecting either a deficiency of talent and/or invention on Derulo’s part or his complete contempt for the listener.
