Beyonce's second cd "B'Day" is a tough album to listen to. This album is not quite what I thought it was going to be. To me the album is kind of below average, what makes is that you ask? Well first the singing don't really fit the songs. On a few fast songs, it sounds like she's trying to battle the beat just to be heard, which has her sort of screaming - and it doesn't sound to good. The current single "Deju Vu" has her future husband Jay Z on it. I think he boosted her sales with just rapping on that track. I want to see her do ONE cd without Jay Z rapping on any track - just ALL Beyonce.

Listening to the cd I heard my favorites the first time, while other ones I had to force myself to listen to, so I can do this review. Beyonce's cd right now isn't one of those cd that would get much replay in my cd player, I might just burn my 3/4 good songs on a mix cd. I don't know what's up with the 10 songs, plus a bonus track, she should have added some more songs - maybe it would have even the album out to an average cd. I say definietly give this cd a listen to before you decide to buy.

TRACK HIGHLIGHTS: "Upgrade U", "Kitty Kat", "Deju Vu"
