What parents need to know
Parents need to know this album has no parental advisory label, and comes in one version only. The content is mature, however, with sex the chief topic, explicitly pronounced. Even in "Gift From Virgo," where Beyonce suggests abstinence ("One day we'll make love/ I'll finally be yours"), she also sings about spending time together in a hotel room.
What's the story?
DANGEROUSLY IN LOVE showcases Beyonce and her growing talent and confidence. In "Crazy in Love" she teams with Jay-Z to craft a hip-hop duet, backed by snappy percussion and horns, that sounds better with each spin. In "Naughty Girl" Beyonce borrows Donna Summer's hook from "Love to Love You Baby" and makes it her own with searing lyrics and a hypnotic synth chorus. Beyonce sizzles in "Hip Hop Star" with Big Boi and Sleepy Brown, whispering lyrics that may go too far for some parents ("Do you want to get nasty/ I dare you to undress me"), but cooling down in "The Closer I Get To You," a ballad with Luther Vandross.
Is it any good?
In this, her first solo album, Beyonce is sexy, insistent, and hard to forget.
What families can talk about
Families can talk about what make Beyonce such a popular singer. Does the fact that she often sings about sex have anything to do with the popularity?

DANGEROUSLY IN LOVE
I definitely loved this CD. it was very enjoyable to listen to riding in the car on a sunny day.
Sex- 5: Nothing major but then again not mild
Violence-0
Language-6: Some language but again nothing you havent heard on the radio.
Drug Lyrics- 0
Commercialism-4: The cover booklet is rather risque.
Behavior-Middle: Its sort of acceptable.

Overated
Beyonce's "Dangerously in Love" was a gigantic hit, but did it deserve to be? Not really. The CD is ok, but nothing spectacular. Anyways, sex gets very explicit on "Hip Hop Star", "Be With You", and "Speechless". There is a little minor language. Suitable for teens.

5/10 rating.....
This is a cool album. My favorite on this is Crazy In Love. Not the best CD, I don't have it, don't really want it. Beyonce is a powerful artist and really puts meaning and girl power into her music. The picture for it is pretty bad.
