Am I the only one hearing a 'We Belong Together' sample on the chorus of 'Ain't All Bad'?

I'm surprised no one has mentioned that this has been certified Gold.

That was beautiful. Why it wasn't record that way? The saxophone is magical next to her voice They need to work on the sax. Obviously that's what they're doing, but it overpowers her and I think a lot of the cues are in the wrong place. That said, she sounds completely darling.

I think they released the most single-worthy tracks on the album already, so I don't know what they should choose third. I just don't want it to be "Side Effects of You."

Yeah, the sax is a mess. "Side Effects Of You" is one of my least favorites on the album, but I don't think there are any more Urban radio smashes on the album anyway. She has several different choices that could be Urban AC hits.

RCA did the same thing with Jennifer Hudson's last album. I think it sold a little bit more before its certification though.

Thank you for the information regarding the certification, Keep'n It Real.
Funnily enough, Fantasia's third album "Back to Me" has sold around 500,000 copies in the USA, yet it has not been certified Gold.

Fantasia Back to Broadway in Duke Ellington showThe singer will celebrate Duke Ellington's years at Harlem's Cotton Club in the upcoming show. Grammy Award-winner Fantasia Barrino will star in the Broadway-bound "After Midnight," a musical revue celebrating Duke Ellington's years at the famous Cotton Club nightclub in Harlem. Producers said Thursday that Barrino, last seen on Broadway in "The Color Purple," will be their first guest star in the show. Performances start Oct. 18, with an official opening night set for Nov. 3. Barrino ends her run Feb. 9. Directed and choreographed by Warren Carlyle with musical direction by Wynton Marsalis, the show appeared off-Broadway last year at New York City Center under the name "Cotton Club Parade." Songs include "Stormy Weather" and "I've Got the World on a String." Barrino, who has released four albums, was the winner of the third season of "American Idol." www.billboard.com/articles/news/3061433/fantasia-back-to-broadway-in-duke-ellington-show

Fantasia has co-written a song called in the middle of the night for the Butler soundtrack.

I might be leaving a few out, she was so good, it felt like it was over in 5 minutes. From what I remember:
It's All Good Started From The Bottom Without Me Man Of The House If I Was A Bird Truth Is Collard Greens and Cornbread Bittersweet Free Yourself Thank You Lord When I See You Trust Him A Change Is Gonna Come Lose To Win Get It Right

Is she still breaking down "Bittersweet" into a 10 minute song!?!? I'd go just for that!

I can't believe the disregard she's shown for The Thrill Is Gone. Her best song ever. Should have been a single, should be a concert staple.

She covered Stevie Wonder's "What Christmas Means To Me" for The Best Man Holiday soundtrack.
