Writing's on the Wall (Destiny's Child)

I'm not a Destiny's Child fan at all. Their more of a bubblegum R n B group than reputable singers. They can hit some vocals, but all in all I find some of their songs too preachy and at times in your face and sometimes even boring. However, this album was by far the best album they've put out. The first album which was self-titled was just shabby and I found the songs a bit dreary apart from "No, No, No" their first single. The third album was far too commercial and reaked of some truly awful songs like "Independent Woman" and "Survivor". However, this album - their second venture - "Writing's on the Wall" hit all the right songs in all the right places and this was true value for money during a period when this musical genre was basically dying to some serious gimmicks. Who can forget "Get on the Bus", "If you Leave Her" - feat Next, "Say My Name", "Bug-a-Boo" and "So Good".

Crap one word for it

Horrible album. They aren't good singers, and the production sounds just like everything else out there. I wish people would wise up and quit listening to things they only hear on the radio.

The songs on this album hooked me to Destiny's Child. The video for Say My Name is one of the best I have ever seen. Some say I am obsessed, but what guy, if ever given the chance, would not want to get in bed with Beyonce?

THE MUSIC IS NOT THAT GOOD IT STANK!

I like this CD and listen to it almost daily. While DC ain't sayin' nuthin' new with Writing the CD has some great beats with Jumpin' Jumpin' and Bug-A-Boo plus there's also Bills, Bills, Bills and Say My Name. Can't wait for their next album.

I gave the Cd an almost perfect rating and these are the reasons. Reason 1, who told Mathew that it was cool for his daughter to sing all the leads and his other adopted daughter to sing the leftover ones? Don't give me that bs about the LaTavia and Letoya not being able to sing, VIBE magazine might have fell for it, but I didn't-you don't keep someone in a group for ten years and they are "tone deaf" as Beyonce said. Reason 2, how you gonna replace somebody behind they're back and have other chicks singing their songs they co-wrote and rocking their gear they bought?And then how you gonna kick Farrah out and say it's "imaging"-I guess the group's imaging doesn't allow anyone to be prettier than Beyonce-no wonder only the two plain looking chicks with plain names are still in the group! Reason 3, Somebody tell Beyonce it's not even cool to yodel on every track, hog the stage and interviews, all the while not being able to speak or articulate-She is just too damn country-and that's comi...

Not quite as good as some r&b, but not all bad either.

"Say my name, say my name"! I love Destinys Child for the simple reason the group does have talent. Their harmonies combine beautifully. For the scrub who said that they weren't capable of writing their own material..."did you know beyonce co-wrote some songs on their new survivor album? did you know she and kelly co-produced many songs on the album? I thought so! Those girls sing from their hearts as well as their diaphrams. "I guarantee if you heard them do their own rendition of the negro spiritual "I've been changed"...which I also sing...you would have my foot in your mouth! Kelly, Beyonce and Michelle have God given gifts of song and not one person around can't say that they're not leaving their mark in the industry. I wish Destinys Child much success and as for the haters..When you find room in your puny little lives to talk down about someone who has more money, more talent and more popularity than you, it just shows lack of intelligence. Plus if you weren;t dissing so much you... Read more

DESTINYS CHILD IS THE BEST GROUP ON THE PLANET!!!!! ALL YOU DESTINY CHILD HATERS ARE JUST JEALOUS. ALL OF YOU CAN KISS MY A$$ BROWN SUGER

I have went through and read all of the comments, there were some very valid ones. I totally agree, Beyonce gives off some major me, me, me, what about me vibes. She needs to step back and look at herself and her behavior. Because it is so clear that her father isn't tring to. He is just as bad as she is, if not worse. I would like to hear from the other girls, I really am getting tired of just hearing Beyonce. She has a nice voice, but she over powers everyone else. I have taken voice and I am a first saprano; I have sang with choirs and a womens ensamble. I know how important it is to have blend and harmony. They are saddly lacking these qualities. Beyonce is the only one you hear. It's like the Sepremes all over agian. I hope she gets herself together and relizes it's not all about her. I know I am not the only one who is getting tired of her. I hope she knows that the one's supporting her are ready for her to be the bigger person, and let the other ladies shine as wel... Read more

Destiny's Child has the best voices around!! They r also beautiful! Oh heck, they're everything!

this album sux! DC sux! i bought this album and it was a waist of my money!!! TLC is the best female selling group! not DC! not with an album like this!

I think DC is a great group, but they will never be the biggest selling female group of all times. Everybody knows that the best selling female group of all times is TLC.

For all you that said that destinys child gets 5 stars right on brothers and sisters! you go! Destinys child definitly gets 5 stars because they have the best talent i have ever heard. Music4Life you are a jackass because destinys child rules!

TLC is still the best selling female group of all time! You can't deny the truth, peeps!

The album sux. the group is call beyonces children. the bitch needs to adopt some more children. by the way her voice isnt all that good. she only scream and btw TLC is the biggest female group. THEY SOLD 35 million world wide. DC only sold 10. So DC gotta lot of catching up to do. AND TO THOS BITCHES DC! Yall need to get yall facts straight.BEYONCE's DUMB CHILDREN! By the way Mr.Knowles your group isnt the biggest female group of all time and we know yall try to dedicate that lil' survivor song to the TLC fans and 2 the other 2 members who got kicked out.

TLC is the biggest selling group of all time! TLC is the biggest selling group of all time! TLC is the biggest selling group of all time! TLC ROCKS TLC ROCKS TLC RULES TLC RULES TLC RULES I LOVE TLC!!!!!

I must admit DC is alright but Im sick of people sayin' dat dey are da biggest selling female group of all time but da truth is TLC is still on top.

Destinys' Child sucks!!! TLC rules!!! DC will NEVER become the best selling female group in the world as long as TLC is around!!!

Tlc is the #1 selling group of all time, and they all get solo parts, and dc, dont

Destiny's Child is a no talent money-grubbing group. I don't understyand how they can still call themselves a group after all the group replacements and split ups. The real top of the chart best selling girl group of all time is TLC TLC TLC!!!! So go buy Fanmail!

tantaling young divas love that image they give teens. Im' 12 and love their style. acl

I think they try hard, but they just can't and will never compare to the real greatest girl group in the world! TLC will always be the number one group!

ANOTHER pop album??? Can you guess what the only thing worse than boy bands is? You got it! I like TLC a lot better (They can KEEP their people, and they ALL sing and they AREN'T drenched in bublegum pop.)

This is a tlc invader. For all you destiny child fans out there, Be ware, war is starting. Rumors are spreading, and beyonce, said it herself, that they we the biggest selling female group, no, TLC is the biggest selling group of all time. All together, tlc sold 30 million, DC,only sold 15 million, so everyone stop saying DC is the biggest female selling group, because they are not. TLC IS and ALWAYS will be!!!

IM GOING TO SAY THAT YEAH I BOUGHT THE ALBUMB AND ITS OK. BUT I DON'T APRECIATE THEM SAYING THEY ARE THE BEST SELLING FEMALE GROUP OUT THERE BECAUSE WE ALL KNOW TLC IS THE BEST SELLING GIRL GROUP OUT THERE.YES THEY HAVE GONE THREW SOME S@*T BUT THEY HAVE ALWAYS CAME OUT ON TOP THEY SELL MORE ALBUMS THAN ANY OTHER GILR GROUPS AND YOU GUYS KNOW IT.ENVOGE,SALT-N-PEPA,SWV AND ALL THE OTHERS HAVE FAIL SO IF DC IS GONNA GIVE TLC A NEW CHALLENGE I KNOW MY GIRLS ARE UP TO IT AND LIKE ALWAYS ARE GONNA COME OUT ON TOP.

DC's music is good. I admit I purshased the alblum but I really feel It's Beonceys group not Destiny's Child. I really hate it when ppl say they r the biggest selling female group when there not. Everyones knows that would B TLC so I wish everyone will quit saying its DC when they have only sold half as many. Thanx

I think that all of the girls are very taltented but you would never know that they are because you only hear and really see Beyonce. I think that her parents have alot to do with that and it is not fair to the other girls ( that is why i think the other girls left). In a singing group it should be just that a group thing. I feel that maybe Beyonce should go solo. ( which she is doing already and have the other 2 girls as back up kinda like it is now.) They are all really pretty girls, and i think they should knida stop focusing only on beyonce's beauty......

ANDYMUC: D.CH. is the most splendid girl-group ever! I can,t stop listening to their songs.Beside this they are the most beautiful girls in the music-scene. KELLY by the way is the most beautiful girl in the world. She is Nr. 10! I do hope you will be on tour in MUNIC very soon.

the writtings on the wall is ok, but it is true beyonce does sing in every song, and i'm quite tired of her. She's the only one get invited onto shows, people are always saying just her name, like they are no longer a group. they should give the other two girls a chance too. they should have just named the group BEYONCE.

This album was cool for some teenagers, I mean every song dealt the problem of a young woman. I feel that Beyounce is a real arrogant young lady, (because her father made her the messiah of the group) but other that the ladies are hot and they do have talent. I will give them credit and hope their attitudes change and not there music.

You guys call this crap rock? This is not rock. It belongs in the hip-hop, r&b, lets steal old rock riffs and make rap songs category. Get your categories straight!

all y'all who say destiny's child are crap need 2 reexamine what y'all think music is! Destiny's Child are the bomb and if u don't like it, well, whatever, but don't put them down so much. They are the definition of good music. I think they're all sexy, have beautiful voices, and are really talented.

There all abunch of non talented singers

The Cd is cool, too bad those chicks aren't even in the group anymore. If there wasn't thaat chick, Beyonce, there would be now group.

This CD is a lot like TLC. They harmonize so well together. I can relate to all their songs. They empower me, and I can't help but to sing them in my car.

To all the people who thinks destinys child sux... YOU SUCK. They're the best there is and every song on The Writings on the wall is totaly excellent. In My opinion , SAY MY NAME , JUMPIN' JUMPIN' and INDEPENDANT WOMAN are the best songs ever made. In short... Destinys child Rules!!!

this is a wonderful CD! Every song is contagious

They should be called Blancee's Child. She is the only one you hear in all the songs. They are all good singers, but Bloncee needs to let the other group members sing more. And they need to make better songs, more of an upbeat kind.

Every track on this CD makes you bob your head and say, "you go girl." It is such a positive CD with amazing lyrics. Every girl should have this CD and it also has great dubbin' tracks like "Jumpin', Jumpin'."

this album is their best yet. Destiny's Child is the best group ever!!!!! I listen to their album everyday and it is so underrated. Ladies if you ever read this i want you to know that you guys rock and i love your music

Their music has this new flavor of pop that makes them stand out from the others like Britney, Christina and Mandy. They have funky, cool, harmonic spunk that makes this CD awesome. The lead singer has such an awesome voice!

I HATE THE WAY YOU TREAT PEOPLE BEHIND THE FACE OF THE PUBLIC, GOD WILL GET YOU!!!!!

these girl are great even though beyonce sing 90% of the time but they are all beautiful and their fashion is outstanding.

This is really a great CD. I love Destiny's Child music and the outfits are always out of sight. These are 3 very talented women . Keep up the good work.

If you love it, listen to it!!!

If you like to dance, this album is excellent, it is full of high energy songs guranteed to get you jumpin

I am 21 years old and love Destiny's Child more than Micheal Jackson was loved in the 80's. There clothes are the "truth" their hair is off the hook, and the lyrics to every song you cant tell me I could not have wrote the songs for them. But the only thing that I HATE IS THAT, THAT DAMN BEYONCE IS ALWAYS IN THE FRONT!!! When the truth of the matter is KELLY HAS THE BOMB VOICE SHE CAN BLOW BEYONCE OUT ANYTIME AND SHE KNOWS THAT THAT IS WHY THEY DONT LET KELLY SING MORE THAN SHE DOES. Just listen to her on the D.L and you will hear what Iam saying Kelly is so baning...her voice,her sytle, her petite size, her hair she is the "truth"! but deep inside Beyonce knows that show that is why her and her parents keep Kelly in the back....BUT TO KELLY KEEP DOING WHAT YOU DO, AND HOW YOU DO IT BEACUSE YOU ARE OFF THE HOOK!!! AND I KNOW MANY OTHERS THAT SAY THE SAME THING!!!!!! princess Carla
