Customer Reviews

An Outstanding Taste Of RnB at its Best!!!!!!!!!!!!
This album is just brilliant! All the songs are wonderful and whether you're a girl or guy, you can completely relate to each and every song. Each song is catchy and has good hidden morals!
1. Intro (The Writing's On The Wall)-An interlude where the girls simply highlight what the album's about.
2. So Good- (10/10) A very inspirational song, highlighting how success can be achieved even though haters are keeping you down. A very good way to start the album!
3. Bills Bills Bills- (10/10) A funky, catchy song! We all know what this is about and how good it is!
4. Confessions - (10/10) A laid back but dark RnB song about confessing affairs. It's slow but good!
5. Bug A Boo- (10/10) A fast, funky, energetic track where the girls diss a lover who's just bugging! There's people out there who annoy us, so we can relate!
6. Temptation-(10/10) This is a slow, laid back song about how we are sometimes tempted to do the wrong thing!
7. Now That She's Gone- (10/10)An slow song which flows, where two deceitful lovers can finally get together. Nice!
8. Where'd You Go- (10/10) A fiesty song about a lover returning after disappearing. A catchy chorus!
9. Hey Ladies- (10/10) An energetic, fiesty song where Beyonce and the girls ask 'why men can do us wrong...?' It's good.
10. If You Leave - (10/10) A nice ballad.
11. Jumpin' Jumpin'- (10/10) A very nice, bouncy, RnB track about partying, relaxing and having a good time!
12. Say My Name- (10/10) A very good single which we've all heard
13. She Can't Love You- (10/10) A good slow, laidback song.
14. Stay- (10/10) A nice, slow ballad about pleading for your lover to stay. A nice song.
15. Sweet Sixteen- (10/10) A very nice inspirational ballad on
how life should be cherished.
16. Outro (Amazing Grace)-(10/10) A harmonious, vocal filled, gospel song. It's an excellent track!
17. Get On The Bus- (10/10) Funky, Fiesty and bouncy; a good way to end the album! This song has attitude and style, where a slacker boyfriend is told where to get off!
CD-2: The rest of the songs are on the 2nd cd and are also good.
No, No, No and Indpendent Women are very good songs also!!!
This album is wonderful and it's one which can be heard over and over again. It's worth the money and you will not be disappointed. Beyonce, Letoya, Latavia and Kelly have great voices on each and every song! A fantastic album which needs to be apart of your collection!!!

the writings on the wall
this album has heart, coming from four amazing and beautiful young ladies.theres maturity shown in almost every song on the album which is really great and very much unexpected.the writings on the wall contains pure soul which is pretty self explanitory,great album.

The best CD i have!
This is the best R'n'B Cd i have ever listened to, and even after owning it for about 5 years, it has stayed on my favourites list! It is jam-packed with great songs, but I will not list my favourites: there's a limit on the length of these reviews! It manages to beat 'Destiny's Child', their first record, by having more variety in all the songs. It is just full of the most listenable songs, from upbeat to gospel, it is a gorup of songs you will never tire of, and i'm sure that after buying it, it would stay on your stereo for months.
