4 out of 5 stars denlan.......2007-02-04

This CD is good but she is the tipical recording artist with the voice fixed mecanically in studio. I saw her in Las Vegas january 26 2007 and she has no voice at all. She fools around with the crowd half of the show without singing (She loves her body) and when she sings we hear only scattered sounds covered by the band.Her background singers (her two sisters) have a lot more better voice than her's. I saw a lot of shows in Las Vegas, it's the worst. I saw Celine Dion and Tom Jones and beleive me the are not in the same league, wow, they have the voice.

5 out of 5 stars I Love me some Her!.......2006-05-26

So it has everything you could want, minus a few but with so many hits your bound to get screwed somewhere...BUT, the point is that what is included is just what we want. Great ballads like 'Un-Break My Heart', 'I Don't Want To' and 'Another Sad Love Song' are here beside dance numbers like the steamy 'You're Makin' Me High' and 'He Wasn't Man Enough'. Toss in some great old school tracks like 'Breathe Again' (still love that song) and 'Give You My Heart', some more recent tracks like 'I Love me Some Hime' and 'Hit The Freeway' and then add some brand new songs (the only good one being 'Whatchu Need' since 'The Little Things' sounds too much like 'Another Sad Love Song') and you have a hit maker...now I will say that the dance remix of 'Un-Break My Heart' rapes the song of all heart and soul but whats one drawback to a bag od success? Great album.
Full track list is as follows:
1. Give U My Heart 5/5
2. Love Shoulda Brought You Home 4/5
3. Another Sad Love Song 5/5
4. Breathe Again 5/5
5. Seven Whole Days (Live) 4/5
6. You Mean The World To Me 5/5
7. How Many Ways 4/5
8. You're Makin' Me High 10/5
9. Let It Flow 3/5
10. Un-Break My Heart 5/5
11. I Love Me Some Him 5/5
12. I Don't Want To 5/5
13. He Wasn't Man Enough 5/5
14. Just Be A Man About It 4/5
15. Hit The Freeway 5/5
16. Whatchu Need 5/5
17. The Little Things 2/5
18. Un-Break My Heart (Soul-Hex Anthem Radio Edit) 0/5

4 out of 5 stars Great collection from an R&B songstress!.......2006-02-22

Over the past 13 years, Toni Braxton has released four proper studio albums, which have each been mixed bags in terms of both genre and quality. For the most part, Ultimate Toni Braxton cuts the filler and presents a decades-worth of pop/r&b hits by one of the most recognizable voices in recent music history.

"Another Sad Love Song", "Un-Break My Heart". "Breathe Again", "He Wasn't Man Enough", "You're Makin' Me High" and "You Mean The World To Me" are all radio staples worth revisiting, and several of the songs found here, including "Let It Flow" and "Love Shoulda Brought You Home", have enhanced the films in which they were originally featured. ('Waiting To Exhale' and 'Boomerang', respectively)

As a perk, the versions of songs on Ultimate are the versions heard every 30 minutes on the radio back in the 90's. It's often disappointing to pick up an artists CD, only to realize there are an additional two minutes of the hit single(s) that you don't (and don't care to) know. This is the only Toni Braxton release to contain her debut single, a collaboration with Babyface (not so much a duet...there's more Toni than Kenny) from the 'Boomerang' movie soundtrack called "Give U My Heart".

In addition, there are two new recordings. The fun and essential Rodney Jerkins production "Whatchu Need", is easily Toni's best song since 2000's "He Wasn't Man Enough", while "The Little Things" is a yawn-fest R. Kelly rehash of "I Don't Want To", the song he penned for her in 1996, already included on this CD. The grand finale is a previously unreleased radio cut of the Hex Hector remix for "Un-Break My Heart". More effort could have been put into the sleeve art though.

Whatever is in the future for Toni Braxton, her legacy has already been conjured up. No matter what happens here, the voice she has recorded will continue to inspire so many actresses and vocalists. I just keep hoping that people will still continue to enjoy Toni Braxton's music for a very, very long time. That isn't a sad love song to sing about. A solid collection worthy of a place in any pop and R&B music lover's collection.

5 out of 5 stars Toni and her soulful voice.......2005-12-11

Its just the perfect album to spin while you have a long bubble bath with scented candles around you.

Toni's voice never fails to make me get dreamy and all tingly inside.

5 out of 5 stars Perfect Complection.......2005-09-14

I absolutely love this CD, it is just perfect I mean god every song on this CD is gold and anyone who thinks she cant sing is the stupidest person to walk the planet, I mean this girl can do anything. Just one thing. Where the hell is Spanish guitar.
