Posted August 5, 200618 yr 1. B2B Intro - Just a skit, but it's better than alot of other skits I've heard, it isn't boring, but it's not a song so it wouldn't be something I'd listen to alot! Lol, however, nice beat :). 6/10 2. Makes Me Wanna Pray - Funky, this was a song I liked from the start. Again nice beat and her vocals are great :D! 8/10 3. Back In The Day - Well, this is a little filler for me, a bit samey. - 7/10 4. Ain't No Other Man - First single! Amazing song, everyone's heard this song, so I don't need to write anymore on this! - 10/10 5. Understand - Nice song. A possible near future single, it's mid-tempo but quite ballady at the same time if you ask me! Grew on me! - 9/10 6. Slow Down Baby - LOVE THIS! ONE OF MY FAVOURITES! Tempo is a little like ANOM, this was love at first sight for me! - 10/10! 7. Oh Mother - About her dad beating her mother up as a child! This ballad is full of heartbreak and soul! Again, one of my favourite tracks - 10/10 8. F.U.S.S (**** U Scott Storch! :lol:) - Clever song, and she addresses Scott all the way through this song, while using her old song names which is really good! A grower song if you ask me! - 9/10 9. On Our Way - Quite old fashioned! Ballad yet mid tempo, I love this song! Future single? - 9/10 10. Without You - A bit fillerish to be honest, it's probably one of the worst tracks - 6/10 11. Still Dirrty - I didn't like this at first, but it's a total grower! The beat is hot and the lyrics are good, listenable! - 8/10 12. Here To Stay - High Tempo, but again not quite my taste, however it's not bad, it's better than the average album track - 7/10 13. Thank You - The best bit is the samples of Genie In A Bottle, otherwise, it's boring :(! But it's nice to thank your fans :P - 8/10 14. Enter The Circus - Scary! LOL It's a skit, but it's kinda weird and scary! For that it gets 7! lol - 7/10 15. Welcome - I love this song, it's not very long but it's balladish approach with a dramatic beat wins me over! - 9/10 16. Candyman - 2nd single! It's old fashioned but I LOVE IT! It's something TOTALLY DIFFERENT to ANYTHING in the charts at the moment! Jazzy and funky - 10/10 17. Nasty Naughty Boy - Slow, Dirty Jazz piece! Lol! Love the lyrics, it's grown on me so much, it's slow and sexy, reminds me of an old fashioned Marilyn Monroe esque club! - 9/10 18. I Got Trouble - The oldest sounding song on the album. It actually sounds like it was recorded in the 20s cause Xtina stuck a cloth over the mic when recording! lol. Jazzy and sexy - 8/10 19. Hurt - OMG, her best song ever, it revokes so many emotions in you, I can't really explain this amazing ballad until you hear it! A definate single and no1! - 10/10! 20. Mercy On Me - I like this song, it's again old fashioned, which is not usually my taste, but as all the tracks, her amazing voice makes me love it! - 9/10 21. Save Me From Myself - Acoustic ballad. It's nice, but there's so many other ballads on the album that override this :(! - 8/10 22. The Right Man - OMG Love this! Another stand out track, it's about her husband. Such a powerful song! - 10/10! TOTAL: 187 /220 Without the skits, it would have done better! All in all a great album, but there's a few fillers but most tracks are great! I may edit this review soon as I have only listened to the album a few times and my mind may change! That's an amazing score for just a few listens ;D

August 5, 200618 yr her voice is the best on 'mercy on me' i think.... not the best track BUT the power is WOW, beyonce should be shaking in her stillettos!! :lol:
August 5, 200618 yr Author her voice is the best on 'mercy on me' i think.... not the best track BUT the power is WOW, beyonce should be shaking in her stillettos!! :lol: Let's hope Xtina takes dire Beyonce 'Back To Basics' and shows her who's Queen! lol
August 5, 200618 yr Let's hope Xtina takes dire Beyonce 'Back To Basics' and shows her who's Queen! lol there's absolutely no doubt christina will wipe the floor with yonka... dont get me wrong i like her BUT her ego needs knocking down a peg or two, that papa knowles does wonders for her career!! -_-
August 5, 200618 yr Author Well Deja Vu flopped in America, maybe this is something good :D! lol I don't like how she made DC Beyonce and the other 2... And I agree her ego needs to be brought down, she goes round acting like the next Mariah Carey or something :o
August 5, 200618 yr Well Deja Vu flopped in America, maybe this is something good :D! lol I don't like how she made DC Beyonce and the other 2... And I agree her ego needs to be brought down, she goes round acting like the next Mariah Carey or something :o maybe the flop of deja vu will make her see sense... she cant just throw out any old tripe!! ^_^ 'i hope you finally understand....' :wub:
August 5, 200618 yr I hope it does! Lol What song is that from :o? 'Understand', it just keeps getting better and better.... popjustice described it just right when they said it sounds like an expensive 'no worries' by simon webbe, although its BETTER!! :wub: 4th single please... :)
August 5, 200618 yr Author It's a good song, good single choice, but my personally, I prefer her ballads :wub:! Come on Msn! lol Edited August 5, 200618 yr by KDavies
August 5, 200618 yr i would come on msn mate, BUT im in an awful mood.... not very talkative 2nite!! :(
August 5, 200618 yr Deja Vu has reached number 4 on the billboard hot 100 now so it isn't a flop but her ex bandmate latoya who left is currently number on in america (album) which is one in the face for beyonce as it is rumoured beyonce stopped her from getting a deal for this length of time. http://i28.photobucket.com/albums/c223/jack89uk/febfgbhfd.jpg http://i28.photobucket.com/albums/c223/jack89uk/ghfhfgfh.jpg
August 5, 200618 yr watch deja vu drop out of the top 10 this week... :D christina is about to spend her 6th or 7th week in the top 10!! :D
August 5, 200618 yr I do like deja vu but i did read somewhere else that it is a very european track ..meh... anyway yeah i'm sure ANOM will stay around for some time.
August 6, 200618 yr ANOM is being very consistent in the billboards with downloads and airplay etc.... deja vu is losing over a thousand spins a day on airplay where as anom is still gaining 300+ a day!! :D
August 6, 200618 yr Deja Vu is just another quick cash in from Beyonce imo i think its all a little too rushed... she's trying to fit too much into her tight schedule, this movie and all!! i would of prefered her to wait and spend at LEAST a few months on the album, NOT 2 weeks!! :(
August 7, 200618 yr I :wub: 'Deja Vu'. And anyway, back on topic of the album, I heard 'Still Dirrty' and it's so weird, but in a good and different way.
