Best R&B Album of 2006?

You know what's funny? I've actually been getting into that song a lot more nowadays. Especially the live versions.

The drums after the bridge >

I mean, get LIFTED.

Let's not pay Halo dust. Beyoncé was lacking a big solo hit ballad up until its release. And it still sounds as striking today. I think it was a turning point for her.

Now that you mention it, that's really true. I didn't give it a lot during earlier listens. I liked it, but it didn't grab me. Not until I heard her sing it in Michael's honor during her tour. It is certainly gorgeous, though.

I was there when she dedicated it to Michael. Next time I saw her she was dedicating it to Whitney.

"I Am...Sasha Fierce" was definitely more mature lyrically and production wise. It's probably her most diverse sound wise, there's a little bit of everything on there. The gripe the fans have with the album is that it feels very non-cohesive and thrown together. I love it though! I feel like that disconnectedness really conveys the whole Sasha Fierce alter ego notion perfectly. That's more prominent on the Sasha side.

 

Ooooh shit I thought y'all taking about B'Day my bad

 

yes.. I Am... is a big step up

Mr JT gets my vote.  I could not stop listening to that album.

 

20YO is an infinitesimally close second, though.
