OH man. Moan is some real, next level beautifulness. Exquisite. I like Walk It Out a lot too and that song with R Kelly, despite her saying "I'll be your slave" (seriously, no Black female should EVER say that), is a gem. I wonder if this album can at least get nominations. It deserves it. I definitely slept on it. I would have liked more ballads though.
Edit: I was really unfairly harsh on the last page. I stand corrected, Jennifer.

"Moan" had me in tears at work. Just gorgeous.

First of all let me just say I don't care she sold 20K per se. I think another woman with her career to this date from another walk of life would have received the benefit of the doubt and pulled in 100K just on name alone. Some girls, are still living of their Disney days why shouldnt a singer of her caliber and a actress of her caliber, who happens to be heavily awarded get the same treatment. So not upset at lack of numbers, just dissapointed because its too early for her to have a dip like this.
Having said that, i don't see the love of the album. I think it's alright but not her best at all. I think Jennifer voice is R&B version of Celine, in that versatility and all the things she tried to pull off. Just don't work. She is better off singing urban ac like ballads and mixing it up with a few mid-tempos.
I appreciate and yearn for versatility and different tempos, just not from everyone.

There is a 4th Jennifer Hudson x Pharrell track on the Japan Edition of JHUD. The track is called Never Give It Up and you should be able to find it online with a simple search in Google.

Yeah, I like it quite a bit. Should have replaced "Say It" or "BBTM."

Love this song. Don't have to think twice before ranking it ahead of like 75% of her album.

Heard "Go All Night" used briefly on TV here in the UK. Hope it gets a proper release here as the song is fire and I think it could be her biggest hit since "Spotlight"!

I saw her perform on DWTS and wondered why in the world that song hadn't been on the album? So good.

Why would she not perform something from her current CD on a highly rated Finale??? Did she only do one song?

"It's Your World" is nominated for the Best R&B Performance Grammy. I feel that her album should have been nominated as well.

"Go All Night" is doing well in the UK. It was A-listed by BBC Radio 1 today, #201 on iTunes as a pre-order (highest the pre-order has been and should keep climbing). Wouldn't be surprised to see this go top 10 on UK iTunes when released on Sunday. Hopefully will go top 20 (It's not doing that well on streaming, so that'll hold it from going top 10 I think).

Honestly, it's probably my second fav R&B album of the year. I don't think they're too far off on that one.
So glad "It's Your World" got a Grammy nom too.

"Go All Night" has jumped up to #132 on iTunes as a pre-order. If it keeps climbing like it is and is released to spotify Sunday, I actually think this'll go top 10 in the UK and be a respectable hit.

There is no way of flipping this into anything good...RCA needs her right back in the studio working on a new album

^So it can be another flop?? LoL. I'm sure we won't have another album out from her in 3-5 years. I'd prefer she just give a good vocal performance album. I did not care for the last two albums.
