Title: I'm sorry...but it's overrated.
Review: My sister bought this CD and said it was great. My mother wanted this CD, so I bought it for her. I heard my mother playing it, but couldn't figure out what was so great about it. Give it another chance, I said. I stole the CD from my brother and listened to it all the way through...I was not impressed. Yes, Lauryn is beautiful and has a beautiful voice, but I for one, do not like her talking through some of the songs. For example in "Ex-Factor" which is a great song (I can't get it out of my head), but is that "yo yo" necessary in the background? I also like "To Zion". "That Thing" is nice, but overplayed. This album didn't change my life or anything. I'm glad I borrowed my brother's CD, because I would've felt that I wasted $12 or $13 on an extra copy for myself. Two stars, one each for Ex-Factor and To Zion.
Is the review positive or negative?
