"IF YOU DON'T KNOW, YOU BETTER ASK SOMEBODY!
KIKI HAS THE HOTTEST ALBUM OF THE SUMMER. IT'S THE MOST ANTICIPATED CD, WELL AT LEAST TO ME. "I OWE" IS A MUST HAVE. EVERY SONG IS ANNOITED AND AWESOME. KCS & JDS HAS TRAINED HER WELL. THERE'S NO CD LIKE IT. I'M READY FOR A LIVE ALBUM ALREADY! MAKE THIS A DEFINITE IN YOUR CD COLLECTION. KIKI AND J. DREW ARE DOING BIG THANGS IN THE MILLENI ERA OF GOSPEL MUSIC. KEEP IT UP."

"To quote Tonex from one of his tracks, "J.Moss is a bad mamma jamma". His production skills I think are better than anyone in the R'B industry right now. This album is another PAJAM masterpiece and joins the long list of PAJAM produced LP's that are among some of my favorite gospel music. However, I wouldn't go as far as saying that this album and Kierra herself can match the stuff put out by Karen like another wayward reviewer suggested. That's just plain insanity on their part. That being said, this album is everything I had expected. Funky beats, catchy hooks, packaged with the typical Clark-growl or whatever they call it. Great listen, and I only expect her to get better, seeing that she is only 17 years old. My highlights include "The War", "You Don't Know", "Closer", "So Long", "Praise Offering", and my favourite "SNAP", the bonus track which is produced by T.Bizzy/Tonex, one of only two producers who can top J. Moss at this point, the other being the mastermind called Tommy Sims.
Lastly, I have a problem with a comment made by Nyerere Davidson. Stop talking about Kierra's voice not being "that special", and "I can sing better than that". That is uncalled for in the Body Of Christ because it is not a competition out here. You want competition go out in the secular world with your voice. When you make comments like that it only shows your age (18). If you can sing so good, get a record deal. Until then, just congratulate someone on a great effort and keep immature comments to yourself. Thank you and God Bless."
RIDICULOUSLY ANOINTED VOICE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

"OK, when people talk about how ridiculous someone's voice is it sounds hyped or trite because people say that a lot, but I really don't believe that applies here. For a 16-year-old or not! Kierra has a ridiculously bad anointed voice regardless of what age you're talking about. Especially on the song (I think it's "I owe you"), her voice literally gave me chills! "And thanks to you, for saving me one day..." Oh my goodness I felt her so much at that point! I agree with the reviewer(s) that loved "Sweetest Thing" and "War", I really liked those and is it true that her younger brother produced them for her??? That is a real gift. She is really going to bless the world with her gift and I think a lot of young people will become more open to gospel music after listening to this one!"
Awesome!!!

"One word describes this CD - Awesome!!! Kiki Sheard did her thing with this. I have been following this girl since her pre-teens, when she would "feature" in a song or two with her mother, Karen (my absolute favorite female gospel singer) and I knew the first time I heard her she would be as anointed as her mother! I have been long anticipating something from this young lady aside from her mother and couldn't wait for Karen to let her off into her own. I am a middle aged married woman with kids ranging in age 12-17 and my whole family absolutely love this CD. If you don't know who she is, listen to her heritage - starting with grandmother, Mattie Moss Clark, Mother, Karen Clark-Sheard, Aunts Dorinda Clark-Cole and Twinkie Clark - (The Clark Sisters) and you will know that Mary, Mary is right when they say she IS the future of gospel. All others who don't agree, don't know when someone is truly anointed by God and a "true" talent (I have heard Kiki sing live and she is AWESOME!! - like the young people say, she is ridiculous!) unlike some of these lip-sync, voice enhanced singers in the secular world (perhaps this is what you are comparing God's anointed to?) She's going to be up there with Yolanda, CeCe, Karen, Vickie, Mary Mary - all those anointed women of God. I encourage young and old to listen to this young lady, watch the anointing of God raise her."
PRAIZE PARTY!
