Summary: Best CD i have come across,EVER.
Comment: I dont know who would not LOVE this cd.It's little bit of hip hop,soul,r&b and pop.These girls are oviously talented,and have been trying to achieve their musical dream since they were 9 years old.What else is there for them to do?Beyonce is now an international superstar thanks to Destiny's Child,Kelly and Michelle also got out solo's.We've all seen these girls grow up, they aren't girls anymore they are women,like Beyonce who just got married to Jay-z.Beyonce is like the R&B version of Madonna.I rate this more then 5 stars,more like 100.

Summary: Irresistible
Comment: Pop music doesn't come more glamourous than this. At their very best, Destiny's Child has produced some of the most memorable pop music of the last 10 years. "Survivor," "Independent Women," "Lose My Breath," "Jumpin'Jumpin'"--the group is at its best when it uses rapid fire speak-singing (not quite rap, but clearly influenced by it) in combination with tight harmony singing. The break on "Bootylicious" where the ladies harmonize is a favorite moment from my favorite of their songs.
This CD is all the casual fan of Destiny's Child will need, but gets four stars from me instead of 5 for that awful first cut, a schlockfest that never catches fire. After that it is pretty smooth sailing--but there are potholes--"Emotion" does not match the shimmery Bee Gees production of the original, and the last two tracks--"Cater 2 U" and another new cut should really not have made the cut. Another major annoyance to me is the ease with which two original members were cut from the lineup never again to be refered to. There are three faces on the cover, but a couple more were a part (albeit minor) of their early success, and should at least have been given a couple of interior photos.
Aside from the above criticisms, though, the album is really quite rewarding. Of course, comparisons to the Supremes are inevitable, and Beyonce Knowles would be wise to remember the ups and downs of Diana Ross' solo career. It is Beyonce's voice, above all, that helped Destiny's Child rise above the masses of pop groups and become inescapable. While Kelly (especially) and Michelle may have a few more successful years in them, Beyonce will reign supreme over pop music for a long time, if she continues to make good choices.

Editorial Reviews:

Destiny's Child began in 1990 as a novelty act aimed at teenagers. But they exceeded all expectations, both commercially and artistically, becoming a platinum-selling, multi-Grammy-winning sensation and attracting fans from all age groups and backgrounds with their dulcet, feisty-fresh harmonies and message of sisterly solidarity delivered with plenty of keep-it-real and love-over-all. Beyoncé Knowles, Kelly Rowland, and Michelle Williams -- LaTavia Roberson and LeToya Luckett left early on -- have broken ranks to devote themselves to their individual careers so the end of an era has been accomplished. But this collection is a bonanza for new fans and completists, capturing the band's chart-toppers in one place, augmented by Stand Up For Love plus a pair of pleasant but unessential other new tunes. It feels odd to think of this band in the past tense, so even while celebrating their past achievements, let's hope that they will continue to reunite whenever the spirit moves and for years to come. --Christina Roden
