Look for somewhat predictable lyrics, but they seem to suit LaToya just fine.

Co-producers Mike Piccirillo and Gary Goetzman have done an effective job of using this Jackson's talent and disguising her lack of it.

Turgid overproduced trash that relies on synthesizer gimmickry to bolster the singer's annoying whines.

With its flaccid funk and simpering soul, "La Toya" is another rip-off of the sound of Brother Michael.
