Even though Break It Off is a big hit, "A Girl Like Me" is almost dead. So here's a new thread for her new album, "Good Girl Gone Bad"!!!!

does she ever take a break, sheesh, her next album she needs to get a little bit more edgy in her music, stop tryna be a knock off beyonce, just a overall musical and fashion makeover..she has a sweet voice and is catchy, but the 3rd album she needs to be a real artist!

You can't just release 3 albums in 3 years now. You just can't.

Well 1M these days is pretty big, sadly.
Her downloads are huge so it kinda makes up for it. SOS & Unfaithful both sold TONS of downloads. BIO is selling tons too.

I think they know if she goes away for awhile that she will be forgotten pretty much instantly. So they will try to get as much money as possible and ditch her the instant the money stops.

She is such a sexy beautiful girl, really enjoyed "S.O.S." but I find her voice very annoying most of the time now! They should have somebody else record her next album and just put her in videos ... kinda like the Milli Vanilli thing!  Seriously, I think she wil continue having radio hits for a while. Young girls love her! |

I don't think she would totally be forgotton if she left until 08. She just work hard and make a really good album for once and they could promote the hell out of it.

I'm interested in hearing this album..judging by the people she's working with. however, I don't see this girl having longevity at all. I don't see her as an artist she is just being shoved in our faces with endorsement deals (ex. that outrageous 2 million dollar deal def jam begged Nike to give her) and when it comes to performing she looks like a little girl impersonating Beyonce but with less vocal talent and less stage presence.

Ciara's first disc, Goodies, was lucky enough to score big on the charts before the download explosion of 2006, meaning she was able to ride high on airplay and not worry about dl's cutting into her sales. |

She did take a break now, but who knows if she'll be able to get her place in the industry back? |

And now Ashanti is flopping like nobody's business. It's only a matter of time before people get sick of Rihanna. |

Ashanti's last album Concrete Rose sold almost as much as Rihanna's new one did with ONE single and that was only b/c Murder Inc.'s assets were frozen due to the investigation. If that's a flop amongsts R&B artists then Alicia Keys is a one hit wonder. |

Alicia Keys a one hit wonder? HAHAHA! Funniest thing ever. Alicia is already considered a legend in the R&B world. And dont forget that Diary is nearing 5M. Thats 4M more than Concrete Flop.

Yes, but you fail to realize that after her debut smash she was able to at least do what Rihanna did in 2006--twice. If the material is hot, the timing is right, and the promotion is top-notch again, her original fanbase will support it in 2007. This isn't Mya or Nivea we're talking about here. |

OK, it was difficult for you to see I was being facetious. Concrete Rose didn't trail too far behind Keyshia Coles' The Way it Is and Rihanna's disc with one damn single. Do you know how many R&B acts today would kill for that "flop?" |

Concrete Rose was also released in 2004 during the HOLIDAY season. Sales were still decent in 2004 and when you release your album in the holiday season, its not hard to sell.
