One of R&B's most overlooked artists, Heather Headley followed up her promising debut with this amazing album. This album gave an even better indication of what Heather is capable of, showing that it can only go up from here in the future.

People really need to get over the "controversial" (not really) album cover, and give this album a fair shot. This contains quite a bit of classic Monica, but was unfortunately overlooked due to her first single, which was mistakenly perceived as a weak attempt to be trendy.

Another one of the most overlooked artists in the industry. Barring an extremely irritating skit following the lead single, this album makes a solid listen all the way through. It isn't as good as her last one, but it's enough to keep her current.

One of my favourite albums of the year, and arguably Pink's best work. Pink masterfully balances emotion, political commentary, and humour to make an all-around interesting and engaging album. (As a side note, the people who think I Got Money Now is gloating really need to LISTEN to the lyrics, and tone).

I could have sworn this came out in 2005. Oh well. It's a solid album, with very catchy material, but it's missing something for me. It's About Time was better. Christina needs to be careful though, as her albums were never sold very well. Let's hope the next one is even better.

One of the most widely-discussed albums because of Cassie's talent (or lack thereof). I only listened to this once..and it was okay. Nothing really special. But, with the right production, Cassie does have potential. Keep in mind J Lo got through 5 albums with limited vocals.

This was another album that was just okay for me. Jessica tried to be way too experimental, and in most cases, it didn't work. The tracks that worked best were the kinds of songs Jessica is known for (big ballads), while the rest ranged from good (If You Were Mine) to just awful (Push Your Tush). Hope it's better next time.

I keep listening to this album, hoping it will grow on me. But it really hasn't. It's a step up from his debut in a sense, although lyrics need a lot of work. Like Beyonce's album, the production was good, but the lyrics were bland. SexyBack has got to be one of the most annoying songs I've ever heard.

Despite an amazing first single, this album as a whole ended up pretty mediocre. Mario has great potential, he just needs some better material. His vocals sounded good, but the production was very average.

An enormous improvement over JoJo's debut, especially given her age. She has matured both vocally and lyrically, while keeping her material age appropriate. (For those who believe a few songs have sexual connotations...that's not unusual for people her age. Look at any public high school). Can't wait to see what's next.

I don't like this album quite as much as when it first came out, although it is still a great album. Chris has a great voice, reminiscent of Chad Kroeger, and his material suits it impeccably. I was particularly impressed with the tracks he wrote completely on his own.
