My favorites right now are:

Musiq-I Just Want to Sing (I can't spell the other version)
Erykah Badu-Mama's Gun
Outkast-Stankonia
Jay-Z-The Dynasty Roc La Familia
Jill Scott-Who is Jill Scott

That's about all I can say that i actually like right now, Musiq is very good. But also look out for Bilal. He's apart of the Soulquarians.

I didn't know he had a new album out till just recently while surfing around on the net. I don't know what's up with the name change. He's website is www.rickybell.com

The album just came out Tuesday. The first single is called Spanish Fly. I haven't a clue if there's a video put for it yet.

I couldn't even fine 3 songs on there that I would like to listen to over and over again. If I were hard press to name 3 have decent songs, I'd go with Spanish Fly, Have Ya Cake,and Strggle(Urban Mix)

Your comments are pretty unfair about Monica!!! I actually think both Monica and Brandy sing very well …. I happen to like Monica better for the songs she sings, the way she sings them and because did not become miss famous because she leaned on others such as Whitney Huston. Never say Never was Brandy's best and I feel that both of Monica's albums could leave that in the dust … so let's not throw too much dirt around now. Monica is just the bomb, and LOVE SONG was a great work of art …she is new to this acting thing!! I am with AKA2D'91 on the fact that Double Platinum was weak, especially since Brandy is already an actress!! Hey these are my opinions

I'm really feeling Eryka's Mama's Gun right now. I just love its "jazziness".

Jill Scott is tight too!

Does anyone know when Tamia's CD is coming out? I bet it's probably out already and I just missed it. I've been out of it for a while because of school. Oh, and is anyone else bothered by her "Stranger in My House" video? I mean, I love Tamia and all, but I think she was doing a little too much! I wonder what Grant Hill
thought about it. I guess that's what sells though.

To those that have Chante's CD or have heard it, what do you think? I'm a little scared to get it. Although I love Chante, I'm a little skeptical about the pop escapade she seems to be on. "Straight Up" was alright, and I really didn't care for the video. I personally get annoyed when some artists try too hard to adjust with the times. I think Chante's a little too old to be dressed like Destiny's child and freaking JD.

Also, I can't forget Boyz II Men. What in the world was up with the CD they just came out with? They were probably one of the few groups that I didn't have to wait and hear opinions and ratings about before buying their CD. However, I was really disappointed with their new one. Yuck! I'd like to return it but haven't got around to. Oh, and what's the deal with the leather suits?? NOT cute!!

I'm glad to hear that a lot of other people like Musiq. My friend has been telling me to get it, but I've been a little hesitant. Now I definitely am going to go out and get it! And speaking of Musiq, was anyone else surprised to see what he looked like in
his "Just Friends" song? When I first saw it, I was like whoa, that's him? I was expecting something else I guess! But, it's good to hear that his CD is tight.
Maybe someone will get it for me for Christmas because I'm a little broke right now like I'm sure a lot of you are! lol http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/smile.gif

To address the Brandy vs. Monica battle, I feel that Brandy has NOTHING on Monica as a SINGER. I'll admit that Brandy is talented overall, and I'm proud that she's out there doing her thang, but Brandy cannot sing at all! I love Monica's voice! However, Monica needs to stick to singing and NOT acting! Monica had
me dying in her MTV movie, "Love Song"!! I think she was trying way too hard to act. She couldn't even walk right in the movie!!

Oh, and I forgot to mention Amel Larrieux! A lot of people are sleeping on her, but her CD, "Infinite Possibilities" is really on point. For those of you that don't recall who she is, she was the lead singer
for the group, Groove Theory. And no, that's not Amel singing on Groove Theory's new song.

Well, I guess I've rattled off enough!

One!

Oops, and I forgot Outkast!! I love Stankonia!

"Ain't nobody dope as me, I dress so fresh and clean..."

I'm feelin' what you're feelin' the only thing you left off the list was SADE! My girl is back and I love it!

Girl, my LS was trippin off of Monica's walk TODAY...maybe one leg is longer than the other http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/confused.gif

Groove Theory has a new CD?

Maybe Tamia thinks that Grant can't be the ONLY bread winner in the house... http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/wink.gif

Yeah, Groove Theory is releasing their new album, "The Answer" in January. You may have heard their single that's out already, "4 Shure". I don't know if I like the song or not because I can't remember how it sounds! I think it's funny how Bryce Wilson is coming back with a new album with a new lead singer and still calling the group Groove Theory. I guess it's kind of like Destiny's Child, minus all the drama? lol http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/smile.gif

I've heard some people refer to Bilal as a wannabe De'angelo. What do you guys think about that?

Amel L.'s CD is pretty tight, I agree, I think a lot of people slept on that one. I haven't heard Bilal yet. I had no idea that Groove Theory had a new CD out. I'm gonna have to listen out for that. There's a guy out who sounds like Teddy P., and I'm interested in what his CD'll sound like. Also the group Signature that has that song out, The Rain. I'm diggin that for real. I have to say that I thought that movie Love Song was a hot mess. I think Monica should stick to singing. As far as the Tamia video (Sidebar: I love that song!!), I'm not surprised. Nothing surprises me anymore in that industry. I'm not really a BoyzIIMen fan, so I'm not shocked at their CD not being great, but I do like a few tracks on it.

I thought that at first too, but I'm just gonna chill and see if his entire CD will be that way. Hopefully there will only be a few things that are alike (Not a whole De'Angelo rip off)

*Poplife* I agree with you Prince all the way!!

*Sweetsista* As far as Chante Moore goes, I have her new album, and it's okay. Although, some of the tracks had to grow on me. I haven't seen the video, she's rubbing up on JD?!

I really like Amiel L. voice, but never got the chance to get her cd. I heard a couple of songs from it and really liked them.

If anyone has the new Dave Hollister album let me know what you think of it. I'm thinking about picking it up, but want some opinions first.

My favorite tracks on Carl Thomas CD is "Hey now", "Superstar", and "Lady Lay Your Body" it gets much play in my CD player!!

I love that song too! I wonder if she's going to have the slow version on her CD? You know that clip that's at the end of the "Can't Go For That" video? I have the single for it and it also has another good song. I think it's called "Tell Me Who It Was"? Thus, Tamia already meets my 3 song requirement for me to get her CD! lol http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/smile.gif Anyone know when it comes out?

I haven't heard anything about when Tamia's CD comes out, but I'm sure it won't disappoint, her last one was pretty nice!!

And I, too, want to hear reviews on Dave Hollister's CD. I'm thinking about purchasing that, too. Someone told me last week that he was a Kappa. I had no idea.

Hey, what's up with the new LucyPearl line-up? I think that Dawn is out! Has anyone heard anything about this?

Really?? I haven't heard anything about that! I hope it's not true because I'd hate to see the group break up http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/frown.gif That would be the second group she's left! I'm related to Dawn, so of course I like to keep up with her! Let me know if you hear anything else.
