Out of the 12 songs, only one is worth the listen, Rather Die Young. (well Andre' 3000 on Party), however, she's up to her screaming antics, instead of singing, at least when Mary and other R&B artists hit their high notes, it doesn't come off as a scream, but as emotion, they hit their notes, your ears don't ring from it. This is her problem, she tries to put a lil soul in it, but her voice isn't made that way. She just needs to sing the notes, it would probably sound beautiful, like Mariah back in her day. Mariah didn't scream. I know most won't understand the difference or what I'm getting at, but hitting extremely high notes is not screaming, but singing to try to add emotion, like bey tries, comes off as screaming. She has no ability to voaclly pull off emotion other than when you can 'hear' her smile. (that's a choir thing).
