14. Make U Wanna Stay w/ Joe Budden - I don't like this song at all. The beat is hot and the lyrics are hot but the way Kelly sings the chorus is so phony if she sang it different and got rid of the rapper it would be a hot song. Worst song on CD. 2/5

This faceless r&b cookie cutter of a release from DESTINY CHILD'S member KELLY ROWLAND is a big dissappointment. She sounds at times too much like BEYONCE'. SOLANGE KNOWLES(BEYONCE'S LITTLE SISTER) co-wrote some of the tracks and is younger than KELLY. She should have had more access to experienced writers.

The soppy first single "STOLE" is a rock-edged message track. Its not too bad and is kinda catchy the more you listen to it if you havent went forward by the end of the song. The second single "CANT NOBODY" wasnt anything special from anything else that was out at the time and fizzled at #79 on the r&b charts.

Her duet with rapper NELLY "DILEMMA" was put on the album for sales purposes only. She only sings the hook and anyone singing these days could have done that hook and it would have been a hit. Standout tracks are the emotional title track as well as "MAKE YOU WANNA STAY" featuring JOE BUDDEN. Other than that this cd is for completist who would like to have each members from DESTINY CHILD'S solo releases. For the average fan of music it will leave you wondering if KELLY has her own identity and if she has any input in how she sings and what it will sound like. Too much like BEYONCE' and the material is mostly filler. The good songs arent even enough to warrant buying this. Sad.
