Keyshia Cole reminds us not to forget that she’s dropping her third album A Different Me before Christmas on December 16th. Listen to her second single, the ballad “You Complete Me,” below.
This is a good song, but it's nowhere near as good as "I Remember" or "Heaven Sent" as far as Keyshia's ballads go. It sounds like one of the ballads off of Mary's Growing Pains.
I never understood why people kept calling 'Growing Pains' a flop when it scanned 1.6m copies. That's huge these days.
I really like this song, though I agree it's not her best ballad. Hopefully it'll turn this era around because Playa Cardz Right is not doing all that great.
Mariah is an international superstar. Mary has had very minimal success outside the US in her career. The fact that Mary was able to outsell international superstars like Mariah and Usher in the United States who both had way bigger hits says a lot. Growing Pains did not "tank" by any stretch of the imagination. Keyshia's not big outside the United States either, so I also don't see the point there. If David wants to talk about international success, I hardly see how if Mary recorded Keyshia's songs, she'd have huge international success. Doesn't make sense.

It's not THAT good.
This song sucks. Keyshia needs to go somewhere with this repetitive ass shit. She has made the EXACT same song a thousand times over already. She needs to let people write her shit for her because her well has run dry.

My main point is that I don't think there is a single song on Mary's CD that is better than this, but that's my opinion -- anyway, you can spin the sales issue any way you want, man... but I consider both Mariah and Mary's CD sales to be disappointing considering the huge success of both of their previous releases.
Now, let's get back on track with discussing "You Complete Me".

I really like this song on first listen. My only complaint is that Keyshia needs to switch it up. I want a hot uptempo from her like "Let It Go" or something. This will have to tide me over until then I guess but I do like it.
LOL. Yeah. The Breakthrough only sold about a million more than Growing Pains.
Oh, I thought Mary's last CD sold a lot... my bad. My mind is crammed full of therapeutic regimens and pharmacokinetics this week. Sorry my recollection of Mary J. Blige's album sales aren't up to par.
