 If you're an r&b fan, this cd is a must May 2, 2000

This is definately the best album Jodeci put out over the years. With songs such as "Come & Talk to Me" and "Stay" " any fan of r&b should have this cd in their collection. The last half dozen songs on the album are mediocre at best, most of those being more fast paced type of cuts. Jodeci never was and never will be a fast paced type of group, it's just not their thing. The slow jams are when they're at their best such as on "stay" and "forever my lady." If it weren't for the less than memorable last half of the cd, it would have gotten the full five stars.

Jodeci first released their debut album Forever My Lady in 1991. They have been noted as sparking off the freaky, bump-and-grind flavored songs that we now know so well. This quartet knew how to make awesome slow-jams that younger people could relate to. Jodeci paved the way for the R&B boy bands of today like 112, Dru Hill, Jagged Edge, Silk and countless others. In my opinion, Forever My Lady was a musical masterpiece. Never before had we been serenaded with such smooth, sexy ballads like this. My favorite song is "Stay", where Jodeci made begging sound so good. The best thing about Jodeci other than their music and lyrics was their ability to harmonize. They gave the cautious, mellow songs of the 90s a rough edge and urban flavor. Let's remember that they were the bad boys of the R&B music scene at this time. Next up is "Come & Talk To Me" and "Forever My Lady" where the group displayed their distinct style and made their mark on the music industry. These four crooners showed their soft side with "U & I", a pledge to everlasting love. On the other hand, "Gotta Love" was their contribution to the New Jack Swing R&B movement with its upbeat tempo and hip-hop groove. Overall, Jodeci and Forever My Lady taught us how to get down and dirty, have true love and go half on a baby...what more can I say.
GREATEST FIRST FIVE SONGS....EVER. January 30, 2005

I'm giving this album five stars for the first five songs only. What they did after those 5 songs, I dont care. The first 5 are all that I need (in fact, I honestly dont think I even let the disc get past 'U&I', I simply hit "start over") They persist today to be my favorite slow songs of all time (and this album was released in 1991!!). WOW. This was Jodeci's best album. Period. They were NEVER able to come close to 'Stay', 'Come and Talk To Me', 'Forever My Lady' 'I'm Still Waiting' and 'U&I'. This album is a classic, and to think that there are kids out there who have never even heard some of these songs (shame). Slow jams dont sound like this anymore.
 Strong ballads offset by typical dance numbers February 27, 2000

In all fairness, Jodeci's 1991 debut album has aged quite well. It seems much more stylized (and realized) than most of today's half-thought R&B. The album is composed of two parts; the first five cuts being top-notch ballads expertly written & arranged by leader DeVante Swing. The second half of the album drifts into a well-meant assembly of dance numbers that doesn't stand up as well as the ballads. The dance tracks sound great by themselves but when they're shoved together at the back-end of the album they tend to sound the same (and they do). Perhaps if there were more ballads or if the dance numbers were mixed among the ballads it would hold up better.Even on this first album, K-C and JoJo prove early on that they are competent singers. The first five cuts are enough for me to keep the album.

It's almost hard to believe that this is considered old school and has been 13 years since it's release.Every track on this album is stellar. The smooth harmonies from the four members really shine on the ballads and the hip hop uptempo beat doesn't overpower them on the fast tracks.Every song is simply perfection, whether it's Stay, I'm Still Waiting, or Gotta Love.
