I couldn't stand Speak, although I know that was clearly the public's favorite (speaking on sales only). I really love ALMP (Raw) though. Sure, she doesn't have the vocal power of Christina or Mariah, or even a huge presence like Madonna or Britney, but the songs on this album are great pop-rock gems. It's a shame not many people took a chance on it.
I didn't like ALMP (Raw) at first, but once you get listening to it, its a pretty damn good album. Speak was a bit too crap-pop for me. Sure she doesn't have the best voice in the world but she does have some damn good tunes.
