It was never the title anyway. LIKE I SAID.

[MRT]

What will be her first single from this album?

[Caviar]

That's pure gossip. Keyshia was never at the church!

So this ain't her singing and sounding a hot holy mess? Where is this audio from?

Keyshia Cole - His Eye Is On The Sparrow

Here's a link from HM that works:

What was with that pause in the middle of the song? I hope it doesn't air on TV.

[spooky21]

That was horrible. She seems to have tendency to sing off-key. I remember her BET Awards perfomance being cringeworthy.

The stage was foreign to R&B singer Keyshia Cole on the morning of Resurrection Sunday at the City of Refuge Church. After being informed that she was present, the Pastor, Bishop Noel Jones, invited her to participate in a mini-concert of sorts.

Cole was the last of the plentiful talent asked to perform impromptu at the 11:00 a.m. service (including gospel group The Singletons and Ali Ollie Woodson, formerly of the Temptations) at the Gardena, CA sanctuary. Both the congregation's reception of the singer and her delivery were unexpected.

The situation was awkward before she sang a note. In addition to the Bishop mistakenly introducing her with the wrong first name, she had a "wardrobe malfunction" that she was not aware of. Wearing a short dress with thin straps, apparently Cole bore more skin than was deemed appropriate for the church. When a female member of the church attempted to cover her with a shawl, the back of her dress was accidentally lifted. According to witnesses in the choir stand, Cole's backside was exposed. The woman assisting Cole managed to cover her rear just before she stepped out to sing.

She reintroduced herself as a recording artist and asked everyone to pray that she keeps the faith to sing the right messages to the yourg women she reaches with her music. Without pause she broke into an undigestable version of "His Eye Is on the Sparrow" which got progressively worse each time she tried to make adjustments.

The audience was restless. "Take your time," one random voice from the packed to the brim sanctuary in Gardena, CA chimed. "You can do it Keyshia!" called another.

Unable to find the correct key, her vocals were shaky, out of tune and far from the quality of "Love," her first mega hit that showcases her as an able vocalist. At one point she stopped to clear her throat and apologized to the audience. The musicians chased after her to find the right key and couldn't as she barely finished one verse in an shapeless a capella.

Performing to sold out venues as a concert headliner and as the star of her on reality show on BET: "KEYSHIA COLE: THE WAY IT IS" Cole is accustomed to being in control and perhaps is most comfortable when she has had time to prepare. Giving up in middle of the verse she apologized and lingered for a moment before she was ushered off the stage as the filled-to-the-brim audience looked on, applauding lightly.

Cole had been offered an opportunity to sing at the church the week before Easter and did not accept.

As if he were a mind-reader, Jones chided those in the audience who were judging the singer's appearance. He said he knew what he was doing and hoped some of the power and anointing that preceded her performance would impact her for the next time she took to the stage. She was too embarrassed to remain in the service. Allegedly, Cole's manager asked the bishop not to run her performance on the national broadcast of the service, "Fresh Oil" which airs on BET.

They reported this on the radio this morning.

I don't think she has done anything better since her very FIRST single "Never" featuring Eve. That was great. "I Changed My Mind" was great also. But ever since then....LOVE? puke. Last Night? death.

She's so much better than these terrible songs where all she does is sing annoyingly.

[Santo]

That performance was horrid.

[rvd]

I love this girl ever since I heard her from Last Night. I wished she made that song for herself.

[sdot23]

"Let It Go" has leaked and its hot!

And its obviously not coming out May 27th as it says in the title of the thread!

[kingkuong]

I like "Let it go" but i dont know if it's 1st single material.
Missy definately did a good job on the productions though.
It has a 90's R&B sound to it.

[kingkuong]

It is her new single, it's on our urban station right now.
Sounds pretty good on radio too

[sdot23]

Its not her first single just because a radio station plays it. I'll be a little disappointed if it is her first because I know she can do better than this song (even though I really like "Let It Go")

Keyshia Cole Readies Sophomore Album

June 11, 2007, 5:45 PM ET
Hillary Crosley, N.Y.

R&B vocalist Keyshia Cole is eyeing a Sept. 18 release for her sophomore album, "Just Like You." The first single, "Let It Go," features Missy Elliott and Lil' Kim; a Benny Boom-directed video with cameos from those artists will be shot next week.

Cole has also inked a deal with BET to air a second season of her reality show, "The Way It Is," which premiered last year. The new installment will air in the fall, with Cole and her manager, Manny Halley, serving as executive producers. "The Way It Is" will focus on preparation for the new album as well as Cole's mother's recent release from jail.

"Just Like You" has sold 1.4 million copies in the United States, according to Nielsen SoundScan. The breakout hit "Love" peaked at No. 3 on Billboard's Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart.

[sdot23]

Yes! I liked her show...I can't wait to watch the 2nd season and can't wait for Sept. 18!

[SHOOTER]

Keyshia had said she wouldn't do another season of her show but I'm glad she changed her mind!!

[damnnnitzzjohn]

POST 100! smash.

[sdot23]

"Let It Go" up to #40 on R&B and #22 on Hot 100 Bubbling Under!

[CedricCed]

I love this song...it's the perfect summer jam...I love kim's verse
