Holiday is off to a busy start. After recently debuting the video for his single "Bed" on BET's "106 and Park," - written by The Dream - the Washington, D.C. native has already announced plans to take part in an 18-city tour with Cole, kicking off tomorrow (August 10) in Minneapolis, MN. The tour tops off a full week for Holiday, who performed for a packed New York City audience on Tuesday (August 7), for the "R&B Live" showcase series.

He has a really bad attitude though. He thinks he's some savior to R&B. Nobody would even care about him if it wasn't for "Bed."

Can't comment on his attitude much, but I do remember reading something awhile back saying that he was going to bring R&B back to it's original place or something like that.

I like "Bed" but I think it's a fluke. I hope his album proves me wrong.

For me it's the other way around.
I just think he sounds WAY too similar to Mario on some of his songs.

I thought it was me, but he sounds so much like Mario that it's ridiculous. Mario is my favorite young male singer, so I got extra happy when I first heard this---only to discover it was someone else. It's a hot song, nevertheless.

A lot of those songs are old so I hope they're not on the album.

I don't really get the Mario comparission. I thought "Be with U" was damn boring.

^^^ To me it's just the voice on some songs. I didn't like "Be With You" either, but I like "Bed", "Crazy Love" and "A Love Of Our Own".. Hoping his album is decent.
The "Bed" remix is pretty bad though.
Any idea on who he is working with?

^ Well, considering that he feels like today's R&B isn't any good, he probably isn't working with any big name person .

^^^ I like "Suffocate" it's the only other song I have really been able to get into aside from "Crazy Love" and "Love Of Our Own" and neither scream single to me...

"Suffocate" really grew on me, but the rest of the albums seems like it's really generic.
