The perfect timing of Beyonce Knowles’ career moves continues with the release of her debut solo album. Dangerously in Love’s best music is wildly up-to-date, craftily designed for both maximum street acceptance and positioning as some of the most cutting-edge stuff on current radio. The brash first single, "Crazy in Love," melds Jay-Z with an unstoppable Chi-Lites horn sample, shape-shifting into something brand new. Collaborations with Outkast’s Big Boi and Sean Paul also prick up the ears, while changes of pace like "Be with You" and "Speechless" achieve their aim with credibility. The disc becomes far too ballad heavy in its second half, but the key stuff is the noise she brings. --Rickey Wright

Summary: Simply the best!!!!
Comment: I love this cd. This is my favorite cd by Beyonce. Some say that the first 3 songs are the only worthy ones on here. I disagree you have to give it a chance and really listen to the whole album. When I first heard it I thought it was just o.k.. But the more I listened to it the more I fell in love with it. The hit songs to me were not the best ones on the c.d. The lesser know hits were better than the hits. She's an o.k. artist to me, but I fell in love with this c.d. out of all her others. The only song I didn't care for to much was Hip Hop Star. I even fell in love with Daddy, which I didn't care for to much, but it is a beautiful song the more I listened to it. What a beautiful tribute to our fathers.

Summary: Dangerously In Love -- 2003
Comment: At the time, many artists were making their way to stardom in the R&B genre. But, Beyonce proves that she makes a variety of songs, not just for variety, but because she really is gifted in any genre. Crazy In Love features her boyfriend Jay-Z and was the biggest cut on here. Naughty Girl is exactly what the title says, on top of trance-driven violins. Baby Boy has Sean Paul in it, making it a dancehall classic, what with the beat and Sean Paul's appearances. Hip Hop Star has a very hard-hitting beat. Be With You is where the balladry of Dangerously In Love begins, and Beyonce's vocals trickle slowly throughout, like water. Me, Myself And I is a woman's pride song, and songs of the like make Destiny's Child (the group Beyonce is the leader of) famous. Yes is a very serene, calming song, with a complicated love story. Signs is an interesting way to express how Beyonce wonders what sign she should date, with some help from Missy Elliott. Speechless is a very romantic down-tempo number. That's How You Like It is a typical love song, once again Beyonce collaborated with Jay-Z. The Closer I Get to You is a very classy song. Dangerously In Love 2 (2, because Destiny's Child had this song on Survivor in prior years) was the most powerful song on here to me, where Beyonce carries out the most deep thoughts of the whole album. Gift from Virgo is a wonderful song, it's simplicity is what makes it outstanding. Daddy is where Beyonce thanks her father, who has managed her career all these years, and she owes a lot to him, making this song a great closing.

Summary: Great first 3 SINGLES & everything else is just AVERAGE!
Comment: Great first 3 SINGLES & everything else is just AVERAGE!
Beyonce is one of the few artist in R&B that seems to have striked an addiction with fans around the world. She is also one of the few acts where i feel people will run out to buy her CD even if your not a huge R&B fan. I do find her as a SINGER to be very interesting and i like her voice and ENERGY. But i dont like her during interviews because she talks really slow and sometimes so SLOW that she actually makes the interviewer forget what question he initially asked her. That's how long it takes her to answer questions on live TV interviews. She is so powerful at answering slow that she can literally throw you off of track from the main topic. WOW!! With that being said i like her as an artist and she has a fascinating & powerful voice. Crazy In Love is beyond ADDICTIVE when it was 1st released and still is to this day when you hear it. With beats & lyrics like that how can you not want to dance? To top off her successful solo debut her 2nd & 3rd singles were amazing. But that was it!!! Every other song on the album is a DUD! I didnt expect a stellar album but she's a commercial artist so i expected atleast 5 good songs on this album. But only 3 were worthy of being mentioned. 3 stars for 3 great singles and nothing else.
