 Great Debut, Don't Compare to other Greats October 2, 2008
5 out of 5 found this review helpful
This album is something buy. IMO I really don't see anything wrong with how the production of this album went. I think Jennifer & her producers put out great tracks. Jennifer didn't imitate anyone on this album. A lot of people wanted to hear a Whitney sound or a Aretha sound but your not gonna get that your gonna get Jennifer Hudson. Listeners should want to hear Jennifer and not Whitney or Aretha. This album has her own style and own stamp of what R&B is all about. This album is not about duplicating what we get from Whitney when she first came to the scene or Aretha. It's Jennifer Hudson as her own and before you write it off as bad you really need to hear the album looking for Jennifer not other music legends.
Key songs like "Invisible" & "Giving Myself" are real listen too's and should not be skipped when listening. Emotion comes out from Jennifer in these songs and I've been blown away."We Gon Fight" is another example of something we really don't get from current R&B. She brings something different to the table that I haven't heard in a long time from anyone. And "Pocketbook" gives off that sassiness that I've seen in Jennifer since she was on AI. For me definitely a club banger or a morning work-out song. And the duet with Fantasia "I'm His Only Woman" for me injects thats same flavor into music that we got from the collab of Brandy/Monica but it's majority captures the essence of the song "Woman to Woman" which is also something that many fans of that song will love. For me the only song that could have been left out was the duet with T-Pain, other than that it a great debut for the Oscar winner. I bought two copies. For you to enjoy this album you really need to sit down and listen to the whole thing like I did and I was blown away.
SO again don't expect a imitation of Whitney's first album or Aretha because you're gonna get Jennifer and that is who your focus should be on.

Jennifer Hudson is a talented singer. I really like her debut album. My favorite tune on this disc is "Giving Myself Over To You". The piano playing is beautiful on this song and throughout this disc. Jennifer's vocals blew me away on "Giving Myself Over To You" "Spotlight" is the another highlight on this disc. This song is very upbeat and enjoyable to listen to. The beat box on the track "Pocketbook is tight. I like Ludacris' accompanying vocals too. She shows the power in her voice on the track "And I Am Telling You I'm Not Going". I love this song. "I'm His Only Woman" is a soulful duet with Fantasia Barrino. "Jesus Promised Me A Home Over There" is a very good gospel song. This is a very good disc and a strong debut.

Wonderful job from a real singer. I love singers that can belt out a song and Jennifer can do that as well Aretha, Pattie, Whitney. I don't know why ppl are picking this cd apart I loved absolutly every song.
After the poptarts, the lip syncers, the rebel without a cause pretend angry singers this is a real, real treat. Songs with passion, sung with emotions and real talent. Heck the woman could sing the alphabet song and it would sound good, but she didn't and the songs on this cd are great. Well worth the wait.
