Dramatic, over the top, but fantastic! October 26, 2008 Sam (UK) 13 out of 17 found this review helpful
Having watched Dreamgirls time and time again and it having become my favourite all-time film I was destined to buy this new offering from its star-Jennifer Hudson. I already knew that Jennifer was a fantastically talented vocalist, but I did wonder how that would translate into a music album. As it turns out I was wrong to have doubts as this is a brilliant album and in no way sounds like a debut, but instead like the work of a mature and accomplished artist.
br /1.Spotlight-This was clearly demarkated as the first single with its catchy hook and mid-tempo beat. Great! 9/10
br /2.If This Isn't Love-A super track, which tends to blend a bit in comparison with some of the other more powerful numbers. 8/10
br /3.Pocketbook-A fantastic rb track, which displays a great deal of originality and proves that Jennifer cannot only sing ballads. 9/10
br /4.Giving Myself-A song purely designed to showcase her amazing vocals. 10/10
br /5.What's Wrong (Go Away)-Oddly the electro T-Pain and soulful Jennifer work brilliantly together on this track, in which they end up screaming at each other. 9/10
br /6.My Heart-A more understated and funky song. 8/10
br /7.You Pulled Me Through-Probably my favourite track here, a powerful and emotive ballad. 10/10
br /8.I'm His Only Woman-A duet with Fantasia and is over the top, dramatic and hence amazing! 10/10
br /9.Can't Stop The Rain-A strange track lyrically-good, but not my favourite. 7/10
br /10.We Gon' Fight-Initially I liked this track, but I've gone off it a bit. 7/10
br /11.Invisible-OK, but a bit forgettable. 7/10
br /12.And I'm Telling You I'm Not Going-Wow, what can I say simply stunning. 10/10
br /13.Jesus Promised Me A Home Over There-Another brilliant showcase of vocal flexibility. 8/10
br /14.All Dressed In Love-Upbeat, funky and catchy! 9/10
This album is brillant defo worth the wait October 25, 2008 C. Cox (uk) 3 out of 5 found this review helpful
This album is just so good,jennifer hudson will defo be around for a long time to come,if this album is anything to go by. Here's a review of each track:
br /Spotlight-10/10 A great choice for the first single
br /If this is'nt love-10/10 I love this song so much it is wicked, favourite song of mine
br /Pocketbook feat ludacris-10/10 At first i did'nt know what a pocketbook was, i thought she was referring to something naughty,but i found out it is american for purse.This joint is sick,i love luda's rap. Another favourite track of mine
br /Giving myself-10/10- This is a lovely ballad,shows off her amazing vocal skills
br /What's wrong(go away) feat t-pain-10/10 Another great song,their voices contrast really well together,the ending of the song is just wicked.The only problem i have with this song is i feel there is too much vocoder on t-pain's voice
br /My heart-10/10 This song is just sick,another favourite of mine i could listen to it all day
br /You pulled me through-10/10 Another great ballad,showing off her fab vocals
br /I'm his only woman feat fantasia-9/10 The beginning to this song is fab,the only reason i have given this 9/10, because i feel they are screaming instead of singing in some parts
br /Can't stop the rain-10/10 This song was written by ne-yo, i thought this was going to be on ne-yo's new album which is fantasic by the way the album i mean.Anyways jennifer sounds good on this song
br /We gon fight-9/10 This song is good not one of my favourites though
br /Invisible-10/10 This joint is so sick,this is my all time favourite song off the album
br /And i'm telling you i'm not going-10/10 This song is really good song i wasn't sure about this song at first, brillant vocals at the end
br /Jesus promised me a home over there-5/10 I don't like this song,because its not normally what i listen to
br /There are also two great bonus tracks which are:
br /All dressed in love-10/10 A brillant funky uptempo number
br /Stand up-10/10 This song sounds like spotlight part 2 but who said that was a bad thing,this song is a great way to close a brillant album

The spotlight falls on Ms Hudson August 8, 2008 fivestarfrankie (chippenham, wiltshire United Kingdom) 1 out of 2 found this review helpful
The five star rating is based simply on the two tracks I've so far heard including the single release of the excellent Spotlight. One things for sure this is a young lady who can really sing as anyone who saw her Oscar winning performance in Dreamgirls can testify.
br /
br /I believe "All dressed in love" (from the "Sex in the city" soundtrack) is to also be on this album.IMHO this track is one of the best pieces of up-tempo soul released in the last thirty years.It reminds me of Thelma Houston's Saturday Night and Sunday Morning with it's powerhouse vocal and stirring orchestral arrangement.
br /
br /The main purpose of this review however is to let UK customers know that Amazon's US site have this on special offer at $9.99. Even with shipping I've just ordered TWO copies for a total cost below £15.

Amazing Album October 3, 2008 TRUDY ALICA BANKS (LONDON United Kingdom) 0 out of 2 found this review helpful
Jennifer has an amazing voice and I love this album especially the track invisible, very heartfelt and love spotlight. This album really shows of her vocals and where it all started with the church track although not really feeling that one but its ok.
