| Editorial Reviews:
Amazon.com "Singer, Model, MTV VJ, Actor = Superstar," reads an insert included in the press packet for 2000 Watts, the follow-up to Tyrese's self-titled 1998 debut. Since when did being mediocre at everything one does add up to superstardom? Granted, the 22-year-old from Watts, California, sports the chiseled cheekbones and scrumptiously rock-hard abs it takes to excel at the "Model" portion of his equation for fame. But as far as the other components go, it might serve Tyrese well to stay away from the endeavors that require talents in any departments besides the, uh, visual ones. 2000 Watts plays like an amalgam of all the things wrong with R&B today. It practically bursts at the seams with Tyrese's shameless self-promotion (which becomes painful on the audacious gospel interlude, "Lord You Control Me," as he sings, "Thank you Jesus / Out of all the people in Watts / You sent me out there to represent for my people") and banal references to flossin' and blingin'. Tyrese gets no help from ultra-blah beats provided by top producers like Rodney Jerkins, Babyface, and the Underdogs, who realize that anyone with pecs as toned as Tyrese's really doesn't need strong grooves to sell records. --Sylvia W. Chan

2000 watts June 25, 2001 6 out of 8 found this review helpful
I bought this cd because I really liked Tyrese's first single "I Like Them Girls." I got the cd last week and hate it! I really haven't listened to a lot of it and have absolutely NO desire to whatsoever--so what's that tell you. I'm sooo disappointed, it was such a waste of money. I'm just definately not feelin it, not good.
Second Time Around Is Even Sweeter June 5, 2001 5 out of 6 found this review helpful
Tyrese came on the scene with an exceptional debut.. That had two of the best ballads i have heard in a while Sweet Lady and Lately respectively.. Tyrese is back stronger then ever working with relatively unknown producers but that doesnt take away from how good this CD is. Best moments on this CD is when Tyrese concentrates on the ballads this is his forte that is no more evident then on the Babyface produced "There For Me(Baby)", the best of the ballads on the CD in my opinion is the Bob & Tim tune I'm Sorry for anyone that might not be familiar with Bob & Tim they are responsible for a big hit for Case " Missing You".. This song has the same type of vibe as Missing You.. What Am I Gonna Do, House Keeping, The very romantic ballad " For Always" this song could be another one of those wedding anthems..There are some hot uptempo tunes on this Cd as well among the highlites the current single I Like Them Girls, The G-Funk Flavor Battlecat Produced " Just A Baby Boy" Featuring Snoop Dogg and new Comer Mr. Tan this song is also featured in the upcoming motion picture " Baby Boy" Which Tyrese and Snoop Dogg stars in. Jermaine Dupri is on board produced the best of the uptempo tracks with the tune " Off The Heazy".. Rodney " Darkchild" Jerkins produced I Aint The One song dealing with him telling the young lady that he doesnt have to buy material things to prove his love to her.. This is an excellent CD should get a lot of spins in your CD player.. Second time around is even better then the first.. If you are a fan of Tyrese or just an r&b lover "2000 Watts" belong in your CD collection..
Smooth and Sexy May 25, 2001 4 out of 4 found this review helpful
Tyrese's new album 2000 Watts is one of the best albums I've heard so far thats been released in 2001. It's the long awaited album since his 1998 debut album. The first single I Like Them Girls is the perfect R&B summer song, you guys will love it if you haven't heard it already, really great song. I Ain't The One is my favorite track on the album, a Rodney Jerkins produced tracks about the desire for a love thats not based on material things. Just A Baby Boy is another great song with Snoop Dogg. Other mentionable tracks include Off The Heazy, Get Up On It, For Always and Bring You Back My Way. If you want to hear a really good R&B cd this is the one for you, Tyrese has a beautiful voice that is smooth and sexy.
HEEEEEELL NO. June 21, 2001 4 out of 10 found this review helpful
You gotta be kidding me. He's Representing Watts? I know brotha's down in Watts wouldn't even blast this in their rides. This CD is garbage, pure and simple. Every single song is wack on this thing. Now dont get me wrong, I dont hate the brother. His first album was tight, but this..Throw it out.
I'm soooo mad at this.. October 24, 2001 3 out of 4 found this review helpful
The cleverly marketed "idea" of Tyrese is cool. A tall, dark, good looking guy with beautiful teeth unfortunately, that's where it ends. Yes, he has a voice but he has no style. No direction. He has no signature. For this reason, it is hard to be impressed by Tyrese. If he was a back-up singer, I would not expect so much; But he's not! He's the lead, and I expect him to do just that...LEAD! Tyrese, dig deeper musically (and within yourself) before attempting to release another CD. I could be persuaded to buy shirt, but a CD.... "I'm not gon be able to do it!". I saw him live, 3 years ago, and it was the same effect. Tyrese leaves the audience with a very vague impression. I wanted to be impressed but just couldn't figure out "why" I should have been. The sad part is...he's probably mad cool. For me, you can't just package and giftwrap a model coupled with some "okey doke" ballads and expect "true" ladies of music to fall for it. I'm not hatin' ... I'm just not impressed. Check out Olu's SoulCatcher cd, that's is a PRIME example of an album with direction.
