I just downloaded BILI, and with all of the incredible internet love it's received, I'm expecting an R&B classic.

Alright...wow.
'Because I Love It' is honestly one of the greatest R&B albums of the 00s. It was near PERFECT!
Her uptempos are KILLER. Her ballads are gorgeous. Everything is just divine and blends well with one another without being boring.
'Paint You Over' is probably the highlight of the CD for me. It's one of the only tracks I had previous to downloading, but it's still extraordinary. Her voice is flawless, and the instrumentation is to die for. 'Crush' is one of the coolest, funkiest songs I have ever heard. I love the lyrics and the instrumentation. 'Take Control', 'Gotta Work', 'Some Like It', and 'Losing U' are some of the best uptempos she's ever made. SLI might not be considered a "dance-track", but it's really chill and it could have had some killer dance remixes. I love the FBI agent instrumentals in 'Make Me Believe'. Very cool! 'All Roads' is another beautiful ballad. She sounds so pretty on it, and the piano is real nice. Even 'When Loving U Was Easy' and 'Crazy Wonderful' are straight up soul jams. Really sexy and seductive without being a "ballad-whore". I still love 'That's What U R' to this day. Another really sexy song. 'Somebody Up There' needs to grow on me, but it's still beautiful. I feel that might be one of the weakest cuts on the CD, along with 'Hate 2 Love U', I don't know what to make of that one yet. I even like the intro, 'Forecast'!
All in all, the CD is fire, and it's LOADED with good music! Straight up A+ CD. It goes down in the books for me.
She is also becoming a video queen. All of her videos are sexy, fun, and just straight up cool! Rihanna needs to take some notes. ;)
I also just read through this thread. Wow, what a mess! But it does me good to know that both Capital AND Interscope wanted her along with Def Jam. At least somebody recognizes quality R&B. I hope Def Jam does WONDERS for her. I just want her to get some cred.

Prior to her last album, I had only liked the songs "Touch" and "1 Thing." Then with Because I Love It, I liked "Take Control", "Gotta Work" and "Crush". "Take Control" had some really good dance remixes, but the original was just very sexy and hot. I didn't like the album version of "Crush." I preferred the Johnny Douglas single version of that one. It had a nice 80's feel. It's a shame that one never got a proper release.
I'm excited about this new project though.

Oh sorry I remembered ages ago reading it was JR but it mustve been wrong, I always thought it didnt sound like his production lol.
Touch is crazy I love it. Standouts are 'Like it used to be', 'Come with me', 'All I need'. Its such a great album. BILI is fantastic to she really did some stuff nobody else is doing. She definitely stands out amongst the crowd.

I also hate when people discredit her voice and class her with Cassie or Mya. She has a lovely instrument, as proved on so many of her ballads. Just lovely.

I agree. I don't think Mya's voice is that weak though, it isn't like Cassie or Aaliyahs. Amerie has a great, individual voice. So does Cassie, what I love with Cassie is how effortlessly her voice blends into the music, like her voice is its own programmed sound.

No need to call her a b***h for being a better vocalist than Mya.If Mya can do it better, then explain to me why Mya wasn't even INVITED to the award ceremony to perform!? She didn't even KNOW about this award show!

I feel bad payin out Mya, she's pretty good. I guess its time to lay her to rest though in the dinosaur burial ground for RNB divas. She can lay between Blu Cantrell and Sunshine Anderson. Word is Toni Braxton gonna join em soon.

Guys, she does have a record label. Mya, Inc. And yeah, in all seriousness, I love Mya, and I love a lot of her music, but she's not known for being a vocalist.
