01) Da Brat - The Introduction: Great, great, great beat. A short song, that sets up the whole album, and gives a short plot summary of the movie. 4/5

02) Destiny's Child Feat. Da Brat - Survivor [REMIX]: Great beat, great vocals, but the original song is played out, and this remix offers almost nothing more. 3/5

03) Royce Da 5'9" - Boom: Love the beat. It took a little getting used to, but after I listened to it a few more times, I really enjoyed it. 4/5

04) Rah Digga - What We Gonna' Do: I love this song. Probably my favorite on the album. The beat is awesome, and I love the chorus. 5/5

05) Beyonce Knowles - If Looks Could Kill, You Would Be Dead: Love the song. Beyonce has got some voice! And again, awesome beat. 5/5

06) Beyonce Knowles Feat. Wyclef Jean, and Rah Digga - Cards Never Lie: Great, slow song, that's actually pretty sad. Beyonce sings great as usual, but Wyclef almost ruins this song. 4.5/5

07) Beyonce Knowles and Mekhi Phifer - The Last Great Seduction: GREAT song! Beyonce, again, sings amazing, and Mekhi Phifer surprisingly raps great. Love the beat. 5/5

08) Casey Lee Feat. Rah Digga, and Joy Bryant - Great song. Great beat, and great rapping all around. Another one of my favorites on the album. 5/5

09) Mos Def and Mekhi Phifer - Black and Blue: Yet another great song. Once again, I love the beat, and the rapping is great. 5/5

10) Beyonce Knowles and Mekhi Phifer - Stop That: Yes, another great song, with a great beat. I love the lyrics, and Beyonce is fantastic as usual. 5/5

11) Casey Lee - Blaze Finale: Not one of my favorites on the album. I found it to be a little boring, and I'm not a big fan of Casey Lee in this song. But it does have a nice beat. 3/5

12) Da Brat - Immortal Beloved: Pretty much the same song as the first, but it sums up the story. 4/5

13) Destiny's Child Feat. Missy - Bootylicious [REMIX]: I love this song. Nice slow beat, with some great singing. Unlike the Survivor remix, this song offers more than the original song. 5/5

Overall, a great, great album. Beyonce Knowles, the main star on this album, does a fantastic job. She sings, and raps great. Mekhi Phifer surprised me with some great rapping. Although there are one or two songs that should have been replaced, the many great tracks make up for it. Also, I would have liked this CD to run alittle bit longer. I know there were more songs in the film. Why not include them all and have a huge 2 disc set? But, I can't complain. The CD is great, and I highley recommend it to Destiny Child fans, and any hip-hop fan.

I thought that the soundtrack was HOT! I got is because I love Beyonce.(Grammy award winning Destiny's Child)The movie was great, so if you liked that, you'll love the soundtrack also. But I agree with another person who reviewed this soundtrack: The tracks/songs are really kinda short, so I deducted a star. But the soundtrack is AWESOME. GO GET IT NOW!!!

I basically bought this album because i'm a fan of ms. Knowlence and Destiny's Child. It turned up to be a great rap/ hip hop album with lot's of rap stars: da brat, missy elliott etc. the beats are great, the lyrics are tight, the reemixes are fine (especially the remix for Bootylicious, Baby!!!). The only one bad thing about this is... it's too short! 13 tracks that go over for about 35 minuts!!! What is that? There are only 4 songs here that are over 3-4 mints, and the others go for 1-2 minuts!!! ..... That's why I took off a star.

However, this album is still tight, though short. So buy it and enjoy!

I got the cd the first day it came out and loved it. It's got a little over half of the songs from the movie. It's more like the best songs. One thing is that track number 6 is not in the correct place. If MTV was putting the tracks in order of events it should be track number 9 or 10. But it is a great song. In my opinion track number 5-If Looks Could Kill (You Would Be Dead) is the best song. Beyonce, DA Brat, Mekhi Phifer, and Casey Lee do a great job throughout the whole CD (but everyone else is really good). The Destiny's Child remix for Survivor(featuring Da Brat) and Bootylicious (Featuring Missy "Misdemeanor" Elliott) are really good and the lyrics for Bootylicious are clearer than in the regular version. Overall this is a great CD. If you liked the movie check out the CD. You'll be glad you did. Robbie S.

First i watced the film.. I just loved it!! great movie i loved songs the are soo cool .they are mix of real carmen opera and par&hip hop..The soundtrack is just awsome..I'm upset cuz some of songs arent there but its still cool..Buy it i'm sure you'll love it...

MTV's Hip Hopera: Carmen, is a great soundtrack. It tells Carmen's whole story through the songs, you don't even have to see the movie. All the songs have a meaning, and it makes you feel, and be like Carmen. Beyonce is so good on this. Number 6 is the best on the soundtrack. It has such a great meaning, and makes you cry.

i think this is the greatest soundtrack i have ever heard and the movie is just great! you have to buy this soundtrack cause it is so great and you have to watch the movie cause Beyouse Knowles is so looks great!

this soundtrack was pretty good. I was just sort of upset by how short it was, and why they didn't put all the songs on the soundtrack. that would have made it just a tad bit longer, because the CD is just barely a half an hour. it's great if you're a fan of Beyonce` (which I am). and the bootylicious remix is a big plus.

Despite the mostly negative reviews I liked this movie. This CD, on the other hand, is another story. First of all it is a full-price CD at 35 minutes. Second there are actually songs from the movie that are not on this CD, which baffles me.

Basically, if you can get it on the cheap and liked the movie, go for it. $15? No.

i LOVED this cd! even though i was a bit disappointed that "cali", "the spot", and the song blaze sung at his show wasnt on the cd, i quickly got over it. the bootylicious remix is hot and so is the survivor remix. this was just a great cd. a must have for any destiny's child fan
