Outstanding Debut:
This CD is wonderful from beginning to end. Track #3, with Ludacris is lots of fun. The ballad, Giving Myself, written by Robin Thicke is abosolutely gorgeous and sure to be a classic. Fantasia makes a guest appearance on one of the tracks and they sound great together. The gospel track at the end is a wonderful surprise.

BEST" BLACK IDOL" PREVIEW ALBUM:
Although Jennifer didn't win American Idol, she has delivered the best debut album by far of any of the previous black idol contestants. Her range is great from R&B to gospel. The entire album is worth the money. I love the collaboration with Ludacris it was really hip and fun. I can't wait to hear her next album.
Awesome Collection:
Not much needed to say, except, what a wonderful CD! How many CDs are there where you can say "I like every track"!
Talented Sister:
wide range & depth in roots renditions. Young sister is very naturally multi talent, Unfortunately, the lost of a family can be a devistaating experience hopefully it will refelect positive in her music. I give her 4 stars for her effort.
