 Very mindless, and fun if you make it. Oct 24, 2007
Oh is hot. REAL hot.
One Two Step is filler.
Goodies is OK. The remix is OK.
And I is OK, but she still can't sing.
Don't buy this EVER.
It's a complete waste of money. She has next to no talent. But her dance moves are exceptional.
I would never EVER EVER EVER *EVER* go to her concerts because the ho can't sing.
1.5 stars.

When is this "breather" going to take a breather? Oct 05, 2007
A girl whose singing is little more than breathing and humming at the same time, the mega-successful career of Ciara is another one of these unfortunate examples of why contemporary R&B has been all but flushed down the toilet. The "crunk" background of the title song is actually hypnotic, but only in a mind-numbing kind of way.

 3 1/2 stars - Fun & Enoyable. Jul 06, 2007
When I first saw the video for Ciara's first single, "Goodies," I instantly (and unfairly) dismissed her as another indistinguished pretty face with an okay voice, just capitalizing on the new fad of "crunk music." Oh, was I wrong! Not only did she garner extreme success with that single, but her album went on to go triple platinum. After almost two years of denying how catchy "1,2 Step" and "Oh" were, I finally caved in and bought this album and I'm glad I did.
I'm not exactly sure why she was dubbed as the "princess of Crunk & B," because not one song other than "Goodies" falls into that category. (Marketing scheme, I suppose.) So as you can imagine, I was surprised with this mellow and fun album. Her voice is not anything special, but she works with what she has to a great effect. I commend her for her confidence and swagger. Not only did I love the previously released singles, (excluding the bland and sappy "And I") I enjoyed most of the album. My favorites actually weren't singles at all; "The Title" is a laid-back, summery mid-tempo and "Pick Up The Phone" is an infectious jam with creative lyrics. The production, mostly done by Jazze Pha, is good and most of the songwriting is great, also. Sure there are a few flaws and bland moments here and there, and no this is not the most deep music out there... but if you're looking for a fun and catchy album, you needn't look any further.

We all know that Ciara has a limited range and ballads are definitely not her strong points so right off the back that "And I" would be the worst track vocally. The rest of the album you could listen to when you're cleaning your house. But she's definitely growing as an artist so i do give her credit. The best tracks would be the singles that were released as well as " Thugstyle", "Hotline", and "The Title".

The best song on the album is Oh featuring Ludacris. The beat is insane and Luda's rap is on point.
The hottest tracks are Goodies, 1, 2 Step, Thug Style, Hotline and the Goodies Remix.
And I and Other Chicks are 2 sweet slow jams - her voice is so small but it fits with these songs.
The other tracks are not as outstanding but are solid enough to round out an entertaining CD.
