I must say at the outset, when I heard the album for the first time, I would have awarded the highest three star. After the party-crackers "Do not Cha", "Beep" and "I do not need a man", the wonderful ballad "Stickwitu" and the oriental-inspired "Buttons" I had probably just promised too much. Because it is really so, who owns all these titles already in some form, has at least before the best songs of the album. Only "Wait a minute" with Timbaland still sounds like typical Pussycat Dolls, but since this song is to be released now reportedly even as Single (Info course no guarantee * g *), there are not really many firecrackers on the CD. What also bothers me somewhat, is the many cover versions. "Hot Stuff (I Want You Back)" and "Tainted Love / Where Did Our Love Go" were such. When you hear them the first time, you think only "What's that?", But after repeated listens it go anyway ear with their pop melodies. What I find very sad is that they have "Where did our love go" not separately incorporated as a whole track, because in my opinion would have even had Hitqualität. "Bite the dust" is also a more pop song, but unfortunately it is me now and then some too hectic, but otherwise very good. With "Right Now" and "Sway" (I believe is also gecovert) come at once completely different tones to light. Always reminds me a bit of big band to "Sway" can really dance well, just "right now" is a bit short and generally a bit strange. * G * And now come the rest of the ballad of the album. "How many times, how many lies" is a slow, catchy song with a nice melody, though not as good as "Stickwitu", but comes pretty close ran. With "Feelin 'Good" (a cover) I can start anything personally now, the song is just too slow and too-supporting, also the lead singer sings sometimes very high, and unfortunately, that sounds absolutely atrocious. Finally, you can say so, if you counted the five very good singles with this and takes the time to listen to the album a few times, four stars are quite appropriate. But if you own all the singles already, nevertheless should think twice about the album yet to buy it.
