No one's asking you to care about anything by anybody.

you care about usher in 2010 xpost, stfu

and demi has released two really great pop-rock albums in the past two years (both way better than the two paramore albums i've heard). i don't see why her releasing an R&B album is irrelevant to this thread.

i love her albums too but tbh i have a hard time imagining her voice/delivery working in an R&B context, could be like that Ashlee/Timbaland album or something. so i mean, it might work, but until it does I'm not getting my hopes up.

also looks like she said "more R&B/pop," which makes me think she's not going to have Ne-Yo or The-Dream write a bunch of slow jams or anything.

"behind enemy lines" is my favourite lovato song, so i could definitely imagine how it could work

Pretty sure she's said that she wants to work with The-Dream. Anyway she was on to some Mariah type shit at times (bridge on got dynamite) on her last album so more rnb is perfectly logical.

what? i haven't even listened to his album.

this is the best circa-2007 t-pain song of the year

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AqCJvRyB_Hc

what a recommendation?

this is my only post containing the word "usher" this year:

The Reverend wrote this on thread Rolling R&B Thread 2010 on board I Love Music on Feb 15, 2010

recent Usher is so u_u

so if you are going to try to counterzing me, get yr fucking facts straight yamin-boy

circa-2007 t-pain is obv beyond classic

tbh i dont get the initial zing

this is my only post containing the word "usher" this year:

^wait, that isn't true (forgot to sort by date), but afaik it's my only post commenting on his 2010 output

recent Usher is so u_u

Do you still stand by this? The more I listen to it, the more think there's a great album to be constructed from Raymond Vs. Raymond if you cut out a little bit of the pap (and maybe the songs that make Usher sound like a total asshole, like "Lil Freak") and replace them with some of his recent non-album material featured on some of the recent Future of R&B mixes.

i love Lil Freak

I think it's OK, but Glenn Lewis already used that Stevie Wonder sample to much better effect, and I think the song makes Usher sound like more a bad guy than he intends it to. On Confessions, he played the roll of the flawed by lovable cheat really well, but on Raymond Vs. Raymond he's not nearly as sympathetic. It's hard to take pity on him when he's barking sexual orders at easy conquests. Other songs depict him as a slave to his libido, but on this one he's totally in control, bullying a woman into a threesome she doesn't seem comfortable with. It just seems remarkably mean-spirited.

let's talk about the git fresh song instead

has anyone got round to listening to the k michelle mixtape yet?

has anyone got round to listening to the k michelle mixtape yet?

Are you talking about What's the 901 or is there a new one? I've been enjoying What's the 901. I don't think anything tops "You Should've Killed Me," but every track that pairs her with a rap artist (Gucci, Missy, Three 6 Mafia) really works; she has the brassy presence to hold her own against all of them.

Anybody know if she has a real album on the way? Same goes with Miguel and Dondria; I keep reading about vague album release details for them, but can't find any concretes.

Been at work too often this week to play K. Michelle a lot - NSFW, duh. But giving it a second spin now and digging it very much.

I just posted that I hadn't heard his album.

But the singles have mostly been terrible. (Kinda f/w the Algernod joint tho.)

1. I don't think anything tops "You Should've Killed Me,"

i think "where they do that at" is probably the song that jumps out the most. love her cover/response to "nothin' on you", too, and as discussed on some other thread elsewhere, "hit em in the mouth" is totally wild.

lulz at T-Pain's Diner

jesus how many people have released songs called "where they do that at" in the past year

jesus how many people have songs out called "where they do that at" now

(i still haven't heard any of them apart from k michelle)

lol the chorus of latest youtube posted itt contains "where they do that at" as a lyric

k michelle's wtdta is so great, i love the way she slides into the "where they do that at" after you would have expected there to be nothing left in the chorus.

yeah the whole thing just flows so naturally, reminds me of deemi's "soundtrack of my life" from a few years back. love the way she enunciates "video hoes", all those flashes of anger amidst the sadness.
