This album still blows me away.... her vocals are amazing and the arrangements are grade A. In her hey day, she was so incredibly successful at bridging both generation and genre gaps and it's easy to understand why when listening to Secrets.
Anyway, 6 of the 12 tracks ended up at radio. Which one do you guys think is the best of the rest?
My vote goes to "Why Should I Care?" which was definitely strong enough to be a single. I wish it was released 4th or even 3rd instead of "I Don't Want To."

It was really close between "Come On Over Here" and "Why Should I Care," which are way ahead of the rest. I placed my vote for the former.

Yeah, "Come On Over Here" is another one which could have been a single. I rememeber when I first heard th album, "COOH" and "WSIC" seemed like obvious future singles. "I Love Me Some Him" would have probably been one of my last choices. I also love the melody of "Find Me A Man" and I think "In the Late Of Night" is very underrated... although it does kind of sound like it was written for Broadway or something. |

What a surprise me and jersey boy both love Toni...who would have guessed!  This is easy for me though. "there's no me without u" is IMO one of the best on the entire album and should have been relased over "how could an angel break my heart." This is a flawless r&b album like all of her albums. |

Although your favorite song is my 2nd to least favorite on the album ("Talking in His Sleep" being my least favorite). Then again it's not saying much becuse this album is so solid I really like even my "least favorites." |

Then again it's not saying much becuse this album is so solid I really like even my "least favorites." I used to hate "talkin in his sleep" but now i think its super sexy. I always pictured a really hot video for it, ijust wished there was more singing along with the talking. My favorite on this album is "You're makin me high" (which is to this day a FLAWLESS song that could still be a #1 if Toni did it) folowed by "I dont want to" "unbreak my heart" "theres no me without you" and so on.... |

"In the Late of Night". This and "Let it Flow" are my two favorite Toni songs ever. "Why Should I Care" isn't very far behind.

I voted for "Come On Over Here." I love the melody of that song.
Can someone tell my why "Toni's secrets" (the final track) won't play on ANY CD player I have? It stops right after the song before that. What the hell are "Toni's secrets?" I've had this CD for over 8 years and that damn track just won't play! >:(

I have been trying to figure out what Toni's secrets was all about since the album first came out... it really annoyed me! I thought something was wrong with my CD!!!!!!
