What is with this disgraceful album cover? Monica looks like she just came in from giving $10 blow jobs on the highway. Cover your tits, you ugly b**** and hire a stylist!   Oh and I noticed that JD contributed a couple of tracks to the album. Does anyone know what "Why Her?" and "Everytime Tha Beat Drop" sound like? I bet she got the scraps from 20YO. I can only imagine how painful this piece of crap must be. |

She is downplaying her vocals and dumbing her music to follow the trends of the Ciaras and Cassies. Monica CAN sing, so I don't know why she is messing around with this street image and stupid songs.
The first single "Everytime Tha Beat Drop" is horrible and I'm glad it was a big fat flop. She had a baby before this album too. Why did she have to go and release this sh*t?! Didn't she realize the public doesn't like her doing songs like that, as seen by her previous flops "Too Hood" (f/ JD) and "Knock Knock"/"Get It Off" from her "After The Storm" album?
I loved all her previous albums and even most of "After The Storm" was pretty good. I liked "All Eyez On Me" too.

I loved 'The Boy Is Mine'.I'd not heard or seen her before or since.
That arun 'jumper' she's 'wearing' is too funny.

"Angel Of Mine" is lovely but this new ghetto look/sound is beyond ridiculous. I think this could be the ugliest album cover I've ever seen. It's interesting to hear that "Everytime Tha Beat Drop" was a flop. I guess JD has well and truly lost his midas touch. |

She killed that song - the Eternal original was so much better! However I always liked Monica over Brandy. |

Eternal are the most pointless girl group in the history of music.... maybe with the exception of the repugnant sluts that make up Girls Aloud. |

I liked Eternal 'back in the day' - Power Of A Woman was my anthem when I was about 9, for shame...  |

That is a hideous album cover! Her hair's a state and I'm not even gonna start on what she's wearing. Just nasty.
I only liked "I Wanna Be The Only One" from Eternal. They did a great gospel version of that on TOTP with a choir and tambourines... it was magic! Oh and "Someday" I liked too.

Ooh i loved Eternal (and love Louise even more) !
I never understood why Easther sang lead on everything.The others have good voices too.
I remember reading in 'Attitude' that the guy who owns club 'G.A.Y' was asked had he wanted anyone to perform and they refused.He said that Eternal turned him down on religious grounds !
Since leaving the group ,Louise has performed there.Dunno about Kelle - her solo career never really got off the ground : (

Everytime Da Beat Drop is truly a low for her... such a sell-out song. JD really does want to destroy everyone.  Here's the video. Watch it and weep Lola! www.youtube.com/watch?v=zmabCI5az18OMG....that is truly horrendous.... words fail me  . |

Those 5 buffoons with their ugly silver teeth at the beginning were enough for me. It's just so cliche and played out. I mean who would actually buy this and listen to it again and again?
The only saving grace is that her bleached hair looks better in the vid then on the cd.

She's was performing "Everything Time Tha Beat Drop" on Letterman and it was HORRIBLE! She didn't need like 3 back up singers to do that song and all Monica did was do her runs "Ohhhhhhhh" like it was impressive.
She needs to forget this album!

JD gives another formerly fierce R'n'B diva the kiss of death! How on earth did he revive Whoriah's career  ? I used to think the credit lay with him, now I have to re-visit my low opinion of that crazy b****'s songwriting ability. She deserves recognition for surviving the JD death touch! |

I was horrified too, but b/c of the album cover (what's up with that hair???) and the ghettoish songs.
i used to prefer her first 3 CDs over Brandy's. when Afrodisiac and After the Storm came out, I thought they were equally good. but now I think Brandy has always been better than what's on this album (and btw Aaliyah still tops them both). I have only heard about half of the songs, though... haven't bothered downloading the rest after this.
"A Dozen Roses" was actually the only decent song I heard off this album.
