Best Album

Not a best of at all..but a low point

Christina Milian is still young enough, talented enough and beautiful enough to gain fame for all these attributes. She's had modest success as an actress and singer and its a shame her ex-record label has released this CD inplying she's done.

Clearly she's not ready for a "Best Of", especially a CD that does not collect anything other than whats on her records. She's had songs on mixtapes and soundtracks and none are found here. So who'se going to buy this? Clearly no one, as those interested in her one worldwide smash ("Dip It Low") have already bought the single and the fans have nothing here for them to grab.

Hopefully her career will rise from these ashes and this CD will be seen as her lowest point in her career. December 16, 2006

ummm....

i REALLY love her but, i don't know if i'm gonna buy it. i just want her 2nd album "It's about Time" I kinda think it's a little too soon for her "best hits" cd anyway she should'ive wated at least another year for that. i don't even know if most of the songs are good on here. December 3, 2006

Please Tell Me This Is A Joke!

If you want to know the tracklisting, either look it up on the internet or check out Amanda Richards' review (on another note, love said person's reviews :P ).

As for this album, I'm surprisingly disappointed. Without a doubt, she's one of my favourite female artists and the only female artists who I knowingly and continuously put above her are Alicia Keys, Mary J. Blige, Lauryn Hill & Beyonce. However, there's no changing the fact that this compilation album, which comprises of singles and "hand-picked" tracks from Christina Milian's three previous albums (Christina Milian - 2001, It's About Time - 2004, So Amazin' - 2006), was poorly constructed.

For starters, why is there only 1 track (the anthemic, uplifting "Say I", featuring Young Jeezy) from "So Amazin'"? I understand that it was the weakest-selling album of her career, but do you really expect to soar into Gold or Platinum sales in a matter of months when you've got weak promotion and your lead single is one of the album's lesser tracks ("Say I", is good, but there was definitely better)? "Who's Gonna Ride (feat. Three Six Mafia)", "She Don't Know", "Gonna Tell Everybody", her two duets with Dre from Cool & Dre on "So Amazin'" and "Hot Boy"...those kinds of tracks (all from album "So Amazin'") best display Christina at her highest and most honest, combining hot beats with hypnotic vocals and undeniably intense sexuality. Her entire third album was definitely a lot better than the cruddy Pop she supplies from her self-titled debut (excluding the infectious lead single "AM To PM")- "Spending Time" is easily as forgettable as guest artist Charli Baltimore (btw, who the Hell is that?) ; "When You Look At Me", despite decent lyrics, is way too "poppy" and bland for my tastes ; and "Get Away" mainly fails because Ja Rule has no problem reminding us why so many critics thought he sucked when he was still commercially prominent.

Thank God she added some of the better tracks from "It's About Time - the sexy "Dip It Low", the Hip-Hop/Pop of the Milian/Joe Budden duet "Whatever U Want", the sweet ballad "I'm Sorry" and the emotional "Someday One Day", which has grown on me after more focused listens - but adding the second Milian/Budden duet "L.O.V.E.", along with long-forgotten international bonus tracks like "Down For You & "7 Days", only helps to bring this compilation album down.

Altogether, this compilation album really isn't that good. "Best Of Christina Milian"? Pfft, Hell no! Cop "So Amazin'" or check out the lights from "It's About Time" ("Dip It Low, "Whatever U Want", "I Need More", Someday One Day" & "I'm Sorry") if you want to see what this chick can really do! 2 stars!

5 Best Tracks:
"Dip It Low"
"Say I (feat. Young Jeezy)"
"Whatever U Want (feat. Joe Budden)
"Someday One Day"
"I'm Sorry"


P.S. Dear Christina,
I might be wrong for saying this, but I think you missed a good promotional opportunity. You could've easily chucked in the previously mentioned tracks from "So Amazin'" for the sake of quality AND promotion. You could've re-released "Gonna Tell Everybody" or even release a video for any of the other new tracks you made this year. Earlier on this year, you could've released "Who's Gonna Ride" as a single because as explicit as the lyrics occasionally are, the song easily fits into clubs, it's got a much stronger "street" vibe than "Say I", it gained you strong media attention and Three Six Mafia were on the track, meaning you could've fed off their popularit as well because they won a damn Oscar this year! I love you Christina, but what the Hell were you thinking?!

Too little, too soon

The track listing for this CD is as follows:

1. "L.O.V.E." (featuring Joe Budden)
2. "Say I" (featuring Young Jeezy)
3. "Whatever U Want" (featuring Joe Budden)
4. "Dip It Low" (featuring Fabolous)

Christina Milian has three albums under her belt so far - Christina Milian (2001), It's About Time (2004) and So Amazin' (2006). These three albums have spawned seven singles - three from the first and two each from the other two - and six of them are on this CD, along with six other songs "hand-picked" by Milian for the album.

If you're a Christina Milian fan you already own all three albums(or at least the first two, as the third one wasn't that good) making this CD somewhat redundant, and really not worth the price tag.

The Best Of Christina Milian

Christina Milian is a great talent and has some amazing dance grooves but i was sadly disappointed with her greatest hits albulm it had a fair share of good songs on it but only 12 tracks and to be honest they left out a lot of her newest stuff off of her albulm so amazing they only put Say I feat. Young Jeezy and that was it she had alot of amazing songs on that albulm alone and that's the only one she puts on there come on and she gave no new tracks not even one and i was already disappointed with her for only releaseing one single of her last albulm and now this 7days, down with you, and sorry are just a few of the tracks that didn't need to go on there not to say they are bad songs but she has better tracks like so amazin' feat. young jeezy, Gonna Tell Everybody, L.O.V.E. Feat. Joe Budden ( Red One Remix ), I Can Be That Woman, Peepshow and Who's Gonna Ride Feat. Three 6 Mafia just to mention a few so i give this cd a star rateing of two Love Christina just not her Greatest hit's cd. November 27, 2006
