I didn't listen to 'em a bunch of times but I'm not impressed. The beats are dope - the singing style is okay. The lyrics are kind of garbage. Why would you go and sing some mess that brook valentine, monica, keyshia cole and every other r&b chick trying to be hood can sing. Wack. maybe u should take urself somewhere else, because we really don't care what u think, the songs are gr8. I love the girl, I just think she deserves better. When she sings classic songs, she's one of the best ever. I'm just going to wait til the CD comes out. Sorry to be harsh, but.

Okay, I love J Shooter's review and summary as he seems cool and like he knows music by what he wrote. He wouldn't just praise for the heck of it, nor, whould he slam for the heck of it.
I've also been waiting for Love Endeavor's and I said to myself, Love is a VERY harsh music critic and I've seen him slam some VERY successful grammy winning albums (even Kelly Clarkson's Breakaway). So, if he liked it, it could be positive or negative in term of long term success and acclaim....so, I'm not to worried. Actually, I kind of relieved that Love doesn't like it. LOL!
I agree she's young, the beats are crazy and I think the full cd is going to be really good and sell tons and win grammy awards. Those clips were just too darn short.

Aww, thanks for that, seriously. I don't mean to be harsh. I just love music and I see the potential in a lot of artists. If I could work in the business, I would, but I'd probably get in some old 'Brown Sugar' type stuff and quit. I even think Clay's abilities are fine - it's just the material. I think Fantasia's songs are good. I just know she's something special. I've met her and I've seen what she can do. And it's way more than this. That said, I see a lot of people are really loving the tracks. I know there'll be tracks I'll adore that everybody else will hate. I'm weird like that, lol. Hence the oddly shaped guitars for an avatar. I am glad she's got uptempo stuff - and like I said, BMH is stuck in my head, which I hoped would happen previous to hearing any of the clips. Like tasia said - "this is me", right? I should accept who she is. See - 20 years from now I'll still be listening to her CD's. I was looking at Rush's career today (featured article on wikipedia today) and I remember seeing tons of tapes (yes, cassette tapes) of theirs years ago and thinking DAMN. So one day Fantasia will make the CD of my dreams, and I'll be listening until then. But I do attempt to be consistent with how I feel about music. Ultimately that's my higher calling. Tasia is on her way. She'll be aight ;)

I would love for Fantasia to make a Tina Turner-esque Soul album. I think it would be amazing! Too bad she's being pushed for R&B.

Tasia is on her way. She'll be aight ;) Oh yeah, you'll get what you want from her eventually. However, I think it'll get really good reviews, even Free Yourself got really good reviews. It's only four songs so far! More please. You probably really like Alicia Keys Music? Would you prefer Fantasia go that route at some point? You want an album along the lines if Mariah Carey's last album? What do you like? How about The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill? Without going too far off topic why was that one soooooo successful? Was it straight R & B? Did it have a lot of Crossover hits? She sold a ton of that one and won like 5 grammy awards for it. I need to pick up that one when I get Fantasia's new one to compare.

I'm hearing the clips on promosquad now and they are great. I was hoping to hear songs that were as good as the ones from her last album and these are all just as good if not better.

I've only heard babymakinhips so far and its aiigh. it's probably one of those songs that will take a few listens to, to get used to. Fantasia said this cd is for the young and old. this maybe the young school picks to get at the young crowd. Here is a new bad ass picture of Fantasia...

I like the pics - wtf is up with 11/28 as the release date. 5 seconds ago it was 12/5 and 12/12.
At least it seems like somebody is alive at J, finally. sort of.

Fantasia is on a movie soundtrack..
Rock star Prince has written an original song for the upcoming animated musical movie Happy Feet, Warner Brothers announced at a preview screening of movie footage in West Hollywood, Calif., on Sept. 19. The film will also feature the singing debut of voice star Brittany Murphy and a Spanish-language version of Frank Sinatra's "My Way," sung by Robin Williams. The movie will also feature music by Yolanda Adams, Fantasia Barrino, Gia Farrell, Chrissie Hynde, Patti LaBelle, kd lang, Jason Mraz and Pink, as well as the motion-captured tap dancing of Savion Glover.
Happy Feet stars the voice of Elijah Wood as Mumble, an emperor penguin who is unable to master the "heart song" his species must sing to attract a mate. But he can tap dance and manages to find similarly fleet-footed friends among the rival Adelie clan of penguins.
Warner screened about 17 minutes of the movie, featuring hundreds of singing and dancing penguins, to audiences of invited guests and their children. Afterwards, guests were treated to penguin-shaped cookies and got a chance to get a photo with real penguins. Happy Feet, directed by George Miller (Babe), also stars Nicole Kidman, Hugh Jackman and Hugo Weaving and opens Nov. 17.

I like all four tracks but don't love any of them. I hope the album is better. She's the goat, so I'm sure it will be. Can't wait to hear her belt on out!

"Hood Boy" has a great beat, and I love what Fantasia does on the verses, but I don't like the chorus -- it loses something for me that we're not hearing more of Fantasia there (at least not in the clip). "Baby Makin' Hips" is pretty hot -- of these 4, I'd say it should be the lead single. I don't care for "I Nominate You" or "When I See You." Is the latter a ne-yo song? Fantasia deserves a lot better than that song -- they don't need to sacrifice the grit and soul in her vocals to get her to cross over to pop.
