What a let down! Beyonce has everything needed to be a huge star except songs. This CD, with the exception of "Crazy in Love", is boring and uninspired. I was expecting a lot but she just re-hashes the old Destiny Child formula so it sounds like a collection of outtakes from the horrible "Survivor" CD.Most of the songs are either over wrought ballads or hip hop dance tunes that never catch and just sputter out after about 3 minutes.She also makes the "Mariah Mistake" of inviting every rapper from the 'hood to "guest" and then watching them overtake the song and rob it of any flow or melody.
