I was really never a Keke Palmer fan. But I was at Wal-Mart today, and realized that it is the 18th, the day "So Uncool" came out. I wanted it, but I wasn't sure about it...so I got the "Hairspray" soundtrack. I came home, and got on AOL Music, and luckily "So Uncool" was on there for the Listening Party. And as I was listening to it, her album is VERY good. Songs like "Keep It Movin'", "Rainbow", "Game Song", and more catch you, and make this album a hit for the young starlet. Know I am not exaderating when I say this album is clearly a hit. 'IT TRIUMPHS!' on it's on, and Keke is shinning on it. I've always liked her voice, and she sells it on this album. Make sure to pick up a copy of "So Uncool", because it would be an abomination if this PIECE OF AMAZING WORK was left getting dusty on the shelfs of your local retail.

Hot Tracks:
1. Keep It Movin'
2. Game Song
3. Music Box
4. First Crush
6. How Will I Know
8. Rainbow
9. Bottums Up

The album is a sure hit!!!

This album is actually quite good, especially for having been made when she was only 13. This is coming from someone who is an average fan of music and the hip hop genre. I got this CD from iTunes after being surprisingly hooked on her single "Keep it Movin". Along with that song she has at least 3 other addictive songs and a couple more solid ones on this CD including "Bottoms Up", "Hood Anthem", "The Game Song", and "Footwurkin". KeKe Palmer was a solid actress in Akeelah and the Bee and I think that with some more mature material she could excel even further by continuing in music. However, my only complaint is that her material clashes in maturity. One of her songs on this CD is a rant about video games and the video game 'Madden', another one is about coming from and growing up in the hood. She is only 13 and has never set foot in high school and I think that some of her material is over-mature and some is a little under-mature, though the songs are catchy none-the-less. I think that in a couple more years her next CD will be very good.

Fourteen-year-old Keke Palmer (née Lauren Palmer) had her breakout role as the title character in 2006's Akeelah and the Bee. She was nominated for numerous awards and was immediately added to the list of young talents to look out for. She made a song, "All My Girlz," for the soundtrack and only about a year later, she is here with her debut album.

The most important thing for a young artist to do while recording an album is to be aware of their audience, and Keke does this very well. She aims to mainly please the young girls and never strays away, with subject matter ranging from first crushes to being self-conscious to a boyfriend too obsessed with video games. Vocally, she is actually quite good. She remains laid-back and never oversings. Musically, the album is primarily composed of slickly-produced, upbeat contemporary R&B/pop infused tracks. "Keep It Movin'," the first single, is a cool and breezy summer jam that came out a month too late. "Music Box" is a touching ballad of how music blocks out the pain and problems of life. "Footwurkin'" is a thumpin' dance groove; the same applies to the crunk-alicious highlight track, "Bottoms Up," where she takes a stab at rapping. "Hood Anthem" tells kids to not be ashamed of where they came from. This closing track will have everyone singing along.

There are, of course, some lyrical missteps, the "crush" songs are a bit sappy and one or two songs just aren't all too compelling. Overall, though, So Uncool is a genuine and great album for kids and adults alike; the songs are catchy, relatable and the messages are age-appropriate.

This happens a lot to young singers, who aren't really in the same lime light at Miley Cyrus, Jonas Brothers, and so on.

Like Keke Palmer, her 2007 album, So Uncool, had to be on the the years best albums from a teenager. And the album didn't even chart on the Billboard charts. It sold around 5,000 copies as of today.

The album is really good. My favorite songs would have to be "Bottoms Up," "Rainbow," and "The Game Song."

I was already a fan of KeKe from her appearances in movies (Akeelah & The Bee, Jump In and Madea's Family Reunion). But i was really glad to see her on a couple songs on the Jump In soundtrack and that got me interested in her as a music artist. Well today i found her cd while i was out shopping and of course picked it up on the spot.

Very wise choice indeed. I like the upbeat songs quite a bit here like (Keep It Movin, The Game Song and another fav in Footwurkin'). The songs flow from one to another. There are one or two that might seem silly or childish to some but she still handles them with ease of an artist that's been in the business for years. She also writes on four of the 12 songs on So Uncool (Rainbow, Bottoms Up, Skin Deep and Wake Up Call) along with her sister.

If there's one song that i really enjoyed it would be "Hood Anthem" it just gives you a great feeling especially if your from where she's talking about the hood. I feel it and can totally identify with some of the things said in the song. It's an excellent closer to a debut cd from a new artist that should be around for quite awhile. Nice first step, KeKe. You've got my attention.

This CD is great for teenagers. My daughters love the CD. I think she is a great artist. She is very motivating. I say get it for all young girls.

I was shopping at Walmart one day and I came across Keke's new CD. And I was fan of hers since I saw her on a Disney Channel movie. So I purchased her CD and I've been listening to it ever since. All of her songs have a good beat to dance to and I can't stop listening to all of the tracks. I really enjoy her CD and I keep repeating it on my ipod. I really like the songs "Keep It Movin'", "Footwurkin'", "Bottoms Up", "Skin Deep", and "Hood Anthem". Definitely a purchase worth buying. Happy shopping!

I really enjoyed this cd! Keke Palmer is the best. I only wish she was marketed better. She should get as much attention as MIley Cyrus gets. She is so talented.

Keke Palmer's album is pretty good. It is marketed toward the tween/ teen demographic, but I am in my 30s and I like it too! It's danceable and it's fun and if you like R&B/pop, you should try this one.

Best tracks in my opinion: "Bottoms Up" & "Footwurkin" are the best dance songs, and "Keep It Moving" is the song to play in your car as you summer cruise.

I had no idea that this girl could sing. I originaly got the cd for my sister and i ended up keeping if for myself. She has nice clean music and i love it. I will keep it for when my little girl get old enough she will have something to listen to. Thank you
