I have listened to this album from start to finish, and let me tell you. It was NOT a pleasant experience. This music is totally about making money. The songs are shallow, the singing sounds like it was altered by a computer or something; the arrangements are irritating. It seems the record companies have this tendency nowadays to find a pretty face and teach it how to sing. This is very sad indeed. Don't give in. If you want to hear some good female singers, check out Diana Ross, Aretha Franklin, or Tina Turner; or something. That's pure emotion right there. Stop listening to plastic.
