"One In A Lifetime" hasn't clicked with me yet. It's one of my least favourites, yet most people seem to love it. + LOL. Now you know how I feel about Here I Am. Actually, I had to look at the CD just now to remember the name of the song. I do love One In A Lifetime. It's so catchy.

^ I love both songs.
To me "One In A Lifetime" sounds like a mix between Mary J. Blige's "Be Without You" and her own song "Hell No".

Great choice with the next single being Here I Am. It should definitely keep the album's momentum.

she also has to get way better music than that last album, which deserved to fail, i don't even think hype could have saved that last project.

Oh yeah, forgot to mention that. Monica's camp really wanted Melanie Fiona but the Alicia tour canceled that out.

Why did she get rid of the hair in the ETM video! I really liked that. Was it a weave? I'm not liking the short hair.

ETM is 4 weeks at #1 now.
The performance last night... was.... a MASTER CLASS in singing. She wore it out. Like, it's super rare to here a contemporary R&B song sung like that anymore. I can't get over that performance. That's why people are saying she's the best R&B singer out right now, because of performances like that. If you haven't listened to it you should, it's stunning.

She was off key at certain parts of the song and i hate that she lowers the key in the live performances. Her performance on Leno was better. The band on Lopez tonight was good though. the arrangement they did made the instrumental better.

This is actually probably her most consistent album. Very good album. She went back to her roots but at the same time found a new sound. This is a very grown folks throwback album.

Monica just tweeted that "Love All Over Me" will "definitely be a single" I sure hope so!

^ Good news! "Love All Over Me" is my favourite song on the album.
Her performance on George Lopez was very good. The song sounds great with a live band, it sounds much better than the studio version.

YAY! "Love All Over Me" is great. Hopefully "Stay Or Go" gets a release and she moves on with the next album.

^Yeah, I figure they are going to release at least 4 singles. Possibly 5. I'm personally not a fan of "Stay Or Go" (It's great, just probably my least favorite of the single-worthy tracks, which is basically everything except Still Standing, Mirror, and Believing In Me); however, I do feel that it should be released to give Bei Major some recognition. If they go 5 deep, "If You Were My Man" will get released since it's the only moderately up-tempo song and I figure they'll want to change the pace.
I would prefer "Superman" (over anything except for "Love All Over Me" however, it's so sonically similar to the latter track that I doubt they'll both be released.

I kind of like "Superman" but its little boring to me as well. Its too generic for my liking.

If You Were My Man is too 80s to be a single. That sample doesnt work well. It makes the song sound really old.
