I can't stand that "Touch My Body" song. Oh my gosh...she sounds bi-polar or something...one minute she says touch my body and the next she says she is gonna hunt somebody down. And she needs to put some clothes on too....I'm sorry yall...just had to vent about that.

Co-sign. And the song she song on Oprah yesterday just didn't do it for me. I don't know if it was the song or her performance of the song. She just seemed off. I wait for more opinions before I hand over my $10.

I listened to the song this AM. She wants the person to do things to her, BUT she's saying it's between them and if you go run 'tel dat, I"m going to hunt you down. She mentions about it being a secret rendezvous, etc. etc, but if you tell, you're gonna have IT on your hands. ;) I guess that's the life of a celebrity.

I just figure that MC is a studio person and does so many rifts and runs that it doesn't sound well live. I really think she was lip synching. It was good to see Trey Lorenz.

I still will cop it for $9.99, but not more than that. It's not like she's a new artist. I hope I like it as much as the Emancipation.

^^^that "hunt you down" part just trips me out...lol:D. My mom says that she wants it and I will probably wait to listen to hers or see if I can listen to the album on my phone and then decide. I finally got MJB's cd and I LOVE it. I put the whole thing (with the exception of two songs) on my mp3 player...I like Mary happy;):D!

Mariah's new CD is pretty good; it's not The Emancipation, but it's nice. I enjoyed most of the uptempo songs and a few of the ballads. She could've done away with some of the guest artists, though.

Who does she have as quest artists?

I think I'm going to go purchase it tomorrow after work...

Damien Marley, T-Pain and Young Jeezy.

The CD is okay. It's NOT Emancipation.

I like Touch My Body, Love You Long Time, I Am that Chick, the song with JD that talks about the lost love and thanking them or something. #14 is a good cut. I expected more from Bye Bye. I guess I need to listen to it more often. I haven't listened to the songs with guest artists yet.

I would not pay more than $9.99 for this project.

And you know they had the "required" deluxe edition for more $$$. I think I'll wait until I can check it out from the library orders it.

STOP!

lmao...you do THAT! ;)

I also bought E=MC2 yesterday. It's not Emancipation, but it's not bad either. There are some songs I did like--Last Kiss, Love You Long Time and I Stay In Love. What did get on my nerves is JD announcing his presence in some of the songs. Can't you go on Janet's album and announce yourself? Janet needs the help, Mimi not so much.

The Roots highly anticipated 10th album Rising Down is in stores April 29, 2008 :D:D:D:D

^^^
And, they are on tour.

^^^
And they are coming to Houston in June!!!

I think they will be here for Jazzfest...this weekend or next.

They were on tour with Badu. I know she better bring her azz to the boot! She's not on the Essence lineup (ran over her time last time), so, she better get to the HOB or Monroe or something... :smirk:

Yeah they will be there the second weekend. I'll catch them on tour with Babu next month. :D

I agree. His CD is hot!

Mint Condition has a new album coming out as well. They're concert is going to be here on May 9th. You know I'm front and center right?!

You'll enjoy MINT.They are the BOMB LIVE! :D

Seems like this summer is going to produce some good music. If only Sade and Maxwell would come out with an album. :mad:

I am LOVING Alicia Keys's video for "Teenage Love Affair!" :D I had a different concept in mind, but this video is precious!

I am still madly in love with As I Am!! Soror Alicia Keys did it big with that album!!

If it's the one with Baby Girl and Baby Boy, it's already out. I listened to it at Circuit City. :) ;) It was OK.

Maxwell sent out a letter on his blog saying that his album should be by the end of the year (at the latest). Sade, I can't answer.

I'm already knowing!

The concerts here are going to be good period. Next Wed. I see Alicia Keyes and Neyo. That's going to be the bomb. Then later in May, Raheem Devaughn and Chrisette Michelle will be here, then Toni, Tone, Tony!, then Musiq Soulchild. All of these concerts are happening within 60 days. I'm not going to be able to control myself! :D

That was a kinda random, huh?! LOL!

I forgot about AK and Neyo. I'm waiting til the last minute to get their tickets (If I go). TTT, will Rapheal perform with them? I don't think he was there when they stopped here. Chrisette...I'm sick of seeing her name mentioned. LOL She's ALWAYS down here. I'll catch her at Essence...Musiq too.


Enjoy! :D

Rapheal is not performing with Alicia. Yeah, you're down in LA so you get to see all of the artists during Essence. That's the hook up. :)

The Roots' CD is hot! A little different from Game Theory, but I liked it.

Estelle's CD is very nice! She's like a British version of Lauryn Hill.

I'm not really feeling Lyfe's new CD. I'm glad he killed all those talking interludes he had on the last 2 CDs. There were a couple of songs that I liked, but the rest was blah.

Thanks for reminding me about The Roots' CD. After the day I've had, I need some Roots in my life.


I was thinking the same thing about Estelle.

Dear God,

If you are able to bless this group and make this reunion a full reality, millions of fans and I will be forever grateful.

Amen! :)

Thanks for the reminder. I'll pick it up tomorrow.

Tina Turner is going back on tour in the Fall! Yay!!!!!!


ETA: EnVogue...ya'll need to quit playing! :rolleyes:

BeBe and CeCe are in the studio, new music due in the Fall. YAY!

Can I just say that the new Roots CD is the HOTNESS?! That is all. :)

I haven't heard anything from Chante Moore in a while. I'm glad she's coming out with some new stuff :)

I picked up Estelle, Santogold, The Roots, and Alice Smith... plus a new copy of New Amerykah since my original was ruined by hair oil :( My total was less than $60. I can't wait to listen to all the music! Reviews coming soon. :)

Yes you can! I can't wait until I go to the concert. 13 more days. :D

I just bought Estelle. That was one of my graduation treats to myself. :)

Congratulations! ;)

THA ROOTSSSSSSSSS! :D

Mint Condition has a new CD available. E-Life was released yesterday.

^^
Listening to E-Life right now. Not feeling it as much as Livin' the Luxury Brown.

FYI- Jilly from Philly will be back in Houston in a couple of months. I missed the last concert and I'll be dayumed if I miss this one. :D:D:D
