    This has to be one of the worst albums that I've ever heard. No tune, no melody, no singing, no talent.

    This cd was absolutely horrible and this is coming from someone who loves ciara! i was shocked because her first cd was off the chain, but she fell completely off with this new album. The interludes were annoying, the dance songs were ridiculous and i hate i bought the cd. She tried so hard to so hard to "step outside of the box" that she made a complete fool of herself. Please do better This cd was absolutely horrible and this is coming from someone who loves ciara! i was shocked because her first cd was off the chain, but she fell completely off with this new album.

    Besides two or three songs, the cd is horrible. I listened to it once all the way through and could hardly tell when a new song was on. Why?...Because all the beats are the same. It just drags on and on and on and on. Ciaras' "singing" style fits in with todays "singers" though, you know?...the Fergies, Gwen Stefani, Cassie, and Pussycat Dolls of the world.

    HORRIBLE, HORRIBE album. This girl can't sing. Not to mention that songs have no melody or beat to them whatsoever. Plain and simple!! Anybody who likes this album must be deaf.

    As expected, there are plenty of tracks geared toward letting loose and dancing, and most of them do deliver, even if they don't seem quite as fresh as Ciara's past hits.

    Few modern songstresses work a beat better.

    Songs such as the Rodney Jerkins-produced "Make It Last Forever" and "Get Up"... are surefire club hits, although such ballads as "It's Over" tend to fall flat. [9 Dec 2006]
