Review: Well she back and she’s brought the voice with her. Unfortunately she’s also brought some bad songs along for the ride.
Now everyone is talking about how unattractive Fantasia is. That is obviously not a criteria to being a good singer because so many ugly male artists exists. No, when I seek out a CD I’m seeking out the vocalist’s talent. If you can’t sing I don’t want to listen to you. I don’t care how sexy you are or how many positions Jose can put you in, I don’t want you making albums. Go sing in a church choir or on a subway platform like the others. Stop wasting time & money.
This CD is not a total waste but half these songs could have been left off the album. We’ve gone from Baby Mamma to Hood Boy to Baby Makin’ Hips.… Can it be that music is rapidly deteriorating before our very eyes? I don’t blame Fantasia. I blame the industry to allowing this to continue.
Hood Boy starts this off and it kills me to hear that a woman thinks that only a “hood boy” can hold her down. I’ve said it before & I’ll say it now: I love a man with sense. Street sense and business sense yet sense enough to know that he can be in a suite in an office from time to time. Seriously, is it really a crime that a man who wears a suite isn’t going to court to stand as a defendant?
As the youth would say “the beat is hot”. The music on this album is good. Not denying that fact. The lyrics is what I can do without. Can we please send Fantasia in another direction? Maybe she needs to take the Mary J. Blige journey. Mary was really rough coming out of the gate but has evolved and turned taking about her woes into gold. The question remains: Do I have or want to give years to Fantasia and her development? Answer: She’s got one more album.
Seems like she had more say on this album…. what the heck was she saying? I want more crap? Geez.
Like I said she’s a good singer and that was a plus for this album. Some of the songs that were decent was I Nominate U, Only One You, Two Weeks Notice. These were a few songs that kept my attention.
Maybe one day we can get past decent and put out a phenomenal album – one day.

Ashley Judd seems to have added her happy ass to the long list of folks in denial of the monster that their precious industry (the W.O.S.) has created. Judd has taken it upon herself to reiterate the obvious while ignoring the giant wizard puppeteer behind the puppets.
espite the truth that there are no set programs, more than half of the shows are unconfirmed, the first week or more have only been previews of what MIGHT be shown, and more than half of all television viewers have yet to see anything on the OWN Network, mainstream
2010 has been another year where the WOS Celebs have stepped their game up in the category of bullshit, hot mess, and sloppiness. Yesterday, two WOS young bloods were in battled in another Internet War of Words. Twitter has become the "safe zone" to attack folks behind a computer and have the fans directly involved. Instant bullshit brought to everyone's and anyone's computer screens - whether asked for it or not.
As many gleam over the multiple of things that has been added to her list of "deeds" which deed became her turning point. ... Negating her sexuality (that has little to do with her public actions as far as I'm concerned) what is really going on with her? ... She doesn't seem to read or comprehend some of the books she pushes through her "book club" being that two frauds have been discovered. She only "confronted" one of the frauds because the other media began to question her intelligence and if she and her cohorts even fact checked their information.
