Editorial Review:
Not even Dionne Warwick and her mind-reading friends could have predicted that, over the course of two CDs, Destiny's Child would become one of the most successful girl groups on the planet. But successful this Houston trio is, and their sophomore CD shows why. Yes, the lineup changes as often as lead singer Beyoncé's hairstyle, but fun, disposable pop/R&B needn't be rooted in permanence, and DC is mad fun and mad catchy to boot. With the assistance of hitmakers Shek'spere and Kandi Burruss, Destiny's Child trade in effervescent, hip-shaking, finger-wagging, 'you-go-girl, kick-him-to-the-curb' anthems. The Writing's on the Wall is loaded with tracks like "Bills, Bills, Bills," which are suitable both for dancing and as topics on the Ricki Lake Show. The percolating "Bug A Boo" is irresistible, as is the sassy "So Good." To their credit, the girls can slow the pace down, and on the sultry "Temptation" they get to work their considerable chops to nice effect. But as sales and chart figures have shown, Destiny's Child are at their best when they are laying down the law to some trifling man, and/or working their own groove thang. Work it they do on this somewhat formulaic but ultimately irresistible effort. --Amy Linden

The writing on the wall 
2009-11-24 - I bought this for a friend of mine who really wanted this she loves it it came fast and in very good Shape thanks
Nostalgic... 
2009-11-13 - I love alot of Destiny's Child's and Beyonce's songs, but this is not their strongest album. I would recommend their debut, or "Survivor." I like "Bills, Bills, Bills," and "Bugaboo," and "Jumpin'" has a nice beat to it, but I skip over everything else.
But I still love Destiny's Child...they are my favorite R/B group.
Some great 90s music
2009-05-13 - This album from 1999 has many good R&B and dance songs. My favorite songs are "So Good", "Bills, Bills, Bills ", "Bug a Boo", "Jumpin, Jumpin", "Say My Name", and "She Can't Love You".

Stardom For Beyonce Was Born
2007-03-09 - What can I say about this CD is that the album is excellent. There really isn't anything bad I can say about this is that I wish Beyonce could've shared the mic a little more with the other members, and maybe slow down on the male-bashing. In all honesty, they do need it at times if the show trifling behavior. The standout tracks would be "Say My Name", "Hey Ladies", "Temptations", "Now That Your Gone", and "Bills, Bills, Bills". This will forever be a classic and DC's best album. "Survivor was a horrible follow-up.
