American fans have waited for more than 3 years to get their hands on a Christina Milian album, and unfortunately, after hearing preview tracks from her self-titled debut, I would have to say her first time out was the real charm. Milian of course has to have guest appearances. Fabolous fits PERFECTLY inside the intoxicating rhythms of 'Dip it Low', but Joe Budden, who consistently appears on two tracks, fails to make his mark with his drunken drawls. His breakdown in the song L.O.V.E. is great when meshed with the 80's beats and Christina's honeyed vocals.

Elsewhere is typical R&B/pop fare. 'Highway' is the ultra-explicit slow jam that Milian can, and most likely will, use to seperate herself from her Disney days. The song is okay at first listen, but is easily skipable thereafter. In fact, besides Dip it Low, L.O.V.E, and the stomp/clap rhythms of Get Loose, Milian provides no consistency and absolutely no innovative, unexplored frontier. It is both unfair to American fans who have waited diligently for Milian's return, and unfair to Milian herself, who is deserving if not trying to be a baby 'J.Lo'

I Really Love This Album.
It's My Best R&B/Pop Album I Have Ever had it.It's About Time is like My Personal Thing. I'm The Biggest Fan Of Christina Milian. And I Love Her From her Debut Album "CM" which was My Best Album Until Now. In This Album, I discover that Christina Milian be more mature than before. And When I See her, I Feel Like she's Janet Jackson of 21 century.
And I just want to show my point of view about this legendry R&N/Pop Album.

It's best beginning of her
2) Dip It Low (Featuring Fabolous) (10000000/5)
I Love This Song. Cos It's One Of My Best Christina Milian's Songs. But I Prefer It With S-Word & Lynnash.
3) I Need More (1000/5)
It's Amazing Song. I Love It very Much. It's better THan Rachel Stevens's "Glide"
4) Whatever U Want (Feat. Joe Budden)(50/5)
It's Good One. But Not My Best Song. I Prefer Am 2 Pm"
5) Someday One day (10000000000000000000000/5)
My Best Ballad Song In This Album. I Think That Mrs. Milian Falls In Love. Cos It's a Real Story.

I Love This Song Very Much. It's Like R. Kelly's "Ignition"

9) L.O.V.E (Feat. Joe Budden) (1000000/5)
Good Song with Best Rhythm
10) Peanut, Butter & Jelly (10000000000/5)

My Best R&B/Pop Song



A good and fun record   June 16, 2004

On her U.S. debut, actress/singer Christina Milian creates an album filled with fun, party tracks and some slower songs to set the mood. The set is not groundbreaking in any sense but still a pleasant CD to add to your collection. The Intro get's you ready for the tracks to come and then goes into "Dip it Low", featuring rapper Fabolous. The single you may have heard on the radio a few times before is a sexual mid-tempo record with good vocals and prodution. Next is "I Need More" which is another one of the album's highlights but not quite as good as "Whatever U Want" which features Joe Budden. "Someday One Day" is a slower song that is just okay. "Highway" is another slow song but still catches the ear for entertainment. However it is a little cliched with comparing sex to driving, still worth a listen. "I'm Sorry" isn't bad, again just okay. After being strung along through this series of slow songs there is the dancing jam "Get Loose" which is another fun record. Next is another collaboration with Joe Budden called "L.O.V.E." which has an 80's dance club kind of vibe to it. Finally we get to the album's best track, "Peanut Butter and Jelly." A fast and sexy song that will get the party started. As we reach the end there is "Miss You Like Crazy" which is on the verge of boring and "Oh Daddy" a track about her Dad who left their family where Christina really let's her guard down and let's the listener into her emotions. Now the album may not be up to par with Beyonce's "Dangerously in Love", it shows much potential so go check out her album, "It's About Time."


Well, at least it was released   October 6, 2004

Christina Milian sustained moderate success with "AM to PM" a few years ago. But I guess I'm in the minority when I say that I never really cared for that song. And for some reason, Christina's self-titled debut album was only released overseas (although if you use file-sharing, that album is actually easier to find than this one). But now she came through with her latest album, rightfully titled It's About Time.

I agree with other reviewers when they say that "Dip It Low" is the best song on the album. But if you look past her Disney history and her new Lil' Kim-esque appearance (I can't possibly be the only one who thinks that), you'll soon find that nothing else on the album really stands out. Christina can sing fine, but these songs just aren't all that interesting.

And there are also a few missteps, like the party joints "I Need More", "Get Loose" and "Peanut Butter & Jelly". Also, Fabolous is actually tolerable on "Dip It Low", but Joe Budden sounds like, well, Joe Budden, when he kicks verses on "L.O.V.E." and "Whatever U Want". This album isn't garbage or anything, but if you were looking for something new and exciting, then maybe it's about time to look somewhere else. While Christina's vocals are still good, they really don't save this from being one of those albums that you should borrow before you buy.
