4.0 out of 5 stars
Great lyrics; Decent voice. But...., March 5, 2008
This review is from: Paper (Audio CD)
The Lyrics to Paper are great. Well, that probably becuase it has a lot of lyrical elements of another great song :
I Heard It Through The Grapevine. Latifah takes that song and puts her own spin on it. And while This appears on QL's last studio rap album,
Order in the Court, she sings on the track. And while Latifah's lyrics are great, at times her voice is only half there. At times, it sounds as if Queen Latifah was singing with her mouth half closed. That is the main reason why I kicked off a star. She has sang on her rap records a lot but never showed her great vocal range that is expressing now. Kind of like
Weekend Love from
Black Reign. She had a good singing voice on that track but unilke her current music and Just like "Paper", I think she downplayed her vocal abilities because of her image as a rapper. I think that when she makes a third singing album, if she re-records "Paper", she could bring a whole new life to the song.
