September 16, 200915 yr I actually find Beyonce and K-Row MUCH better solo than they ever were collectively with Michelle; I can't say I've ever enjoyed a Destiny's Child track as much as I have "When Love Takes Over", "Work" or "Stole". And Beyonce seems to have developed a level of class and sophistication that was never quite managed before.
September 16, 200915 yr Who is Stacie Orrico? :blink: Actual WHAT?! She was incredible. Beautiful lyrics and some incredible moments on her albums - SO SO underrated, as expemplified by the comment about her being an amalgamation of every other pop princess. I found her the antithesis of that ... refreshingly GOOD and highly talented for someone who was, admittedly, marketed as a pop princess. Such misdirection on her image, and it killed her.

And Beyonce seems to have developed a level of class and sophistication that was never quite managed before. Oh I agree, I do love a bit of Destiny's Child, they've got some classics. But a reunion would be a big step backwards for Kelly and Beyoncé at least. Kelly has (sort of) established herself as a solo artist in her own right in Europe, while Beyoncé is one of the biggest female artists in the world right now. You almost forget that they were just members of a girl group. They've got some great solo tracks. Just a shame Michelle isn't noticed, though I guess it's her fault for releasing two gospel albums at her peak opportunity for success and decided to release a R&B-electropop album when people were past caring about her. :(
September 16, 200915 yr Author Janet Jackson: Jamelia: i have to completly agree with you... Janet's new single just leaked to blogs, and it's by far the best track she's released in years....It's called 'Make Me', it's pure electro-disco at its best :yahoo:...i just luv it.. Now i can put my Little Boots album to rest.... -_- Jamelia is one of the best yet most-underrated stars in the world today, if well-promoted she could've been a huge star all over the world including the US... Songs like 'Superstar', 'Thank you', 'See it in a boy's eye', 'Beware of the dog', 'Something about you'... are modern day classics yet they were largely ignored worldwide..it's a real shame... i have to add Rachel Stevens too (the British Britney Spears), and Gabrielle who has released some of the best songs of the 90's and 00's....

September 16, 200915 yr The trouble with Jamelia is that she talked herself out of success. She always had a (bad) word to say about everyone else, it seemed to me - if she'd spent as long crafting brilliant music as she did dissing people, she'd probably still be recording now. I never bought any of her stuff, because she seemed like an arrogant, petulant child. I'm sure she's not, and is quite nice, really - but it's not how she came across at all.

September 23, 200915 yr It flopped because they choose Soemthing About You as lead, instead of the should-have-been-a-classic that was Beware Of The Dog. I dont think No More was a bad choice though imo, the era was preety much unsaveable at the time.

October 25, 200915 yr Down to opinion I guess, No More is probably my favorite off the album after Beware Of The Dog.
