She won the Singer 2018. Her "I Will Always Love You" performance was amazing!

She's tapping the Chinese market hardcore! Smart move! Asia can sustain your coinz even if US/UK relevancy declines.

Honestly she is one of the best live performers of the 2010s She slays vocally and her technique is usually on point
It's gotten better over time too Personally I also love several of her songs, though she is criminally underrated

It's a Chinese reality show. She "was invited" to attend and compete with other singers.

Honestly even though she gets a lot of subpar material I think she can put on a fantastic live show, her personality has a lot of charm and she looks like she has great chemistry with the audience, her band, and back-up singers
Like I rewatched her Rock In Rio 2014 show and I think it was really well done

She's an absolutely talented vocalist and awesome performer, but I feel like as an artist she doesn't have much to say.
Who You Are and Sweet Talker are both pretty bad albums imo, despite having some catchy songs on it.
Alive is probably her only album that I like, but it still fails to offer a strong identity of 'her'.
But I do like her more recent materials a lot, especially "Not My Ex" and "Real Deal". I think minimalistic production suits her well. But they both bombed so hard, so smh. She deserves to make some more attempts to reintroduce herself as a pop artist. But if that doesn't work, I think Broadway then AC or even Gospel music is the right path for her.

I think Who You Are has plenty of good songs Though it feels like 3 different albums as a whole, too many differences throughout
Like I enjoy most of the album, but the inconsistency is very present
Alive was a bit more cohesive but not defining enough
Sweet Talker was her worst and felt super disjointed, there are some standouts though

Even if this doesn't do well in America, I wonder how the four parts will count on charts.

I love the two EPs out so far.
It's definitely her most emotionally raw and authentic work.
"Real Deal" deserved a real push as first single. It remains to be the strongest cut.

Dangerous Real Deal Dopamine Glory Think About That Easy on Me One Night Lover
Great album. Her vocal techniques have gotten better with time, and DJ Camper somehow worked very well for her.

I'm just curious to know how the project will be counted on the Billboard 200. Would they rank them as 4 separate EPs, or as one album?

Let's hope at least one of them could chart. But if the sales were combined, there's no doubt the single album would chart. She may even have a shot at the number 1 album on the R&b chart. The EPs have been charting numbers 1,2,3 etc. on iTunes all week.

About to enter into the EP's after putting them into one playlist just so it progresses like an album If anyone else wants it, I also added her cover of I Got You (Feel Good) Enjoy, I feel like this dark and mature R&B sound she's going for is gonna make this her best work

This is her best album, but that's not saying much, since she's never had a good album, IMO. I like a few songs, but it's very samey and dull. She is a stellar vocalist though. She and JoJo are easily the best vocalists, that I've heard, 30 and under.

Finally finished listening to the album today and I really enjoy it. Definitely the most consistent album for me in terms of discography, as while I loved Alive, I did not care for her other two albums.
Favorites: "Dopamine" "Easy on Me" "Real Deal" "Petty" "Not My Ex" "Glory" "Somebody's Lady"
