Ciara's Goodies surprised me and it's one of the best albums I have listened to all years. It's not just R&B, according to an insert I received with my album, it's cRunk & B, a hybrid of the two forms of music. The album opens up with "Goodies" featuring Petey Pablo and is featured by the uptempo song "1-2 Step" featuring Missy. This is a real cool song with a crazy bridge, produced by Jazze Pha of course. The next song, "Thugstyle" slows it down a little but it's still something you can ride too. The album is filled with potential hit singles, but one of my favorites is the song, "Pick Up The Phone," another song with a crazy beat. The Ludacris featured song, "Oh," also is off the hook. Whether you like the song "Goodies" or not, please check out this album. T.I. appears on the "Goodies" remix but he doesn't do as much for the song as Petey Pablo did. Other cool songs include "Ooh Baby," and "Hotline," hey the whole album is fly and so is Ciara, so don't sleep on this album. I'm sure a lot of these young female singers will be picking up pointers from Ciara's album.

I cant believe how people dogged out Ashanti but embrace Ciara like she's anymore talented. And the fact Ciara has been embraced convince me that people dont even know what talent is and they were only ridin the bandwagon. Ciara has a little to no talent. Besides dancing, she has nothing else going for her. Ciara doesnt have anymore talent then Brooke Valentine, Teairra Mari or any other so called one hit wonder. Unfortunately Ciara is joined by a street team who has properly managed her. And her fans that run around calling people haters because people like me dont like their little talentless run-in-mill artist, get over it because aslong as Ciara is here people will keep talkin and no it doesnt come with the nature it comes with being an overrated artist build around sole hype just like 50 Cent and his worthless g-unit Crew. In 10 years nobody will have anything worth talking about because she's has nothing BIG to offer. Oh and the album is a 2 million sold mess. I see that sells ain't nothing but a number either.

When I first saw this young lady I knew she was special. Her dancing, her singing, her swager was a breath of fresh air. I knew we stumbled onto something new and fresh. God knows we need relief from Beyonce Bootymania (nothing against Bouncy). Ciara is bringing something new to the game. She's a beautiful, young woman that's determined to take the world by storm. She has the potential to be large. She's a great dancer(the female version of Usher). She has fun songs. The album is a really good effort for her 1st. She has a unique sexy seductive voice and the way she rides a beat is crazy. The album contains 12 tracks, with a bounus track the remix of the smash #1 Hit Goodies, which I think could have been better, but it's good, T.I. & her mentor famed producer Jazzy Pha is on the remix joint. She gives you just enough with the 13 tracks, a great introduction. Keep in mind CC is only 18, her lyrics speak of young love beginning, going well, becoming confusing and hard. Don't worry CC is still a good girl and doesn't give up her Goodies. I'll give you Play by Play, Track by Track.

4.Hotline 4/5 - Great beat, will make you move.

5.Oh 5/5 - Southern flava at it's finest,crazy hot beat you can really hear her attitude and swager on this hot shot, she's tough, but adorable and Luda spits fire, it should also be a single.

6.Pick Up The Phone 3/5- Nothing really special here, typical song about your man avoiding your calls, but it's a song you can relate too.

7.Lookin'At You 4/5 - Great Beat, Good Vocals,will also get you moving, could be a single also.

11.Other Chicks 4/5 - Ciara tells the man her in life no one can love him like she can, and other chicks are of no concern, after hearing this one, he should be convinced.

12 The Title 5/5 - Whoaaaaaaa, talking about a throwback, she sampled LTD's Love Ballad, she wins major points for knowing real music, that's the real deal, old school at it's finest, and she manages to borrow it and make something of her own out of it. This should really be a single, she shows us what Goodies are in store for future.

Bonus track

Goodies Remix feat. Jazzy Pha & T.I. - Good, could have been a little, but still good, T.I. always delivers and Jazzy is always Jazzy.

With her talent, beauty, and determention, I welcome Ciara! I think she'll be delivering Goodies for a long time to come.

Remember, Music 1st Image 2nd. BE BLESSED!

I guess the music industry isn't about singing anymore!! If you can look cute with a weave and some makeup and dance your ass off you can get a deal. Everything on here is like...I've heard this before and she can't sing! She sticks to the same range of notes that don't showcase her voice because she doesn't have one. Why exactly do you think she lip sung at the BET awards?(that were terrible may I add) Have you noticed..all of her singles featured other artist: Goodies (Petey Pablo), 1,2 step (Missy), Oh! (Ludacris)?? I'm so sick of this garbage that we accept and actually call it hot!!! My Young Adults especially--and yes that's what I am!!

The title song of Ciara's debut is not only the ultimate party anthem of the summer, but it's one of the best singles of the year. This jam has been Number One for over a month, and not without good reason: an infectious chorus, a crunked up groove, and production from Lil' Jon (who did Usher's "Yeah!"), currently one of the hottest producers in hip hop. Sadly, you're not going to find anything else on "Goodies" that will top that single. Tracks like "1, 2 Step" and "Thug Style" are obvious fillers, though others like "Pick Up the Phone" and "Lookin' at You" are decent, if unspectacular, slices of hip hop flavored r&b. But the better cuts are the R. Kelly-penned ballad "Next to You" and "Ooh Baby" which are memorable and make the best use of Ciara's limited vocal range. Beyond the red-hot title song, "Goodies" is standard, radio-friendly r&b with a few nice touches. On a scale of 1 to 10, I'd give it a 6. It's flawed, but Ciara has some promise.
