Finally! Though I am quite apprehensive for the release. I love Cheryl but I wasn't too keen on her last album, four tracks aside. As usual though she looks stunning on the pictures and I'm really glad she's reverted back to brunette :D

FINALLY! Need my guilty pleasure back!

I need to know the date of the premiere, the waiting is "killing" me !

It should be really soon now, the video will be ready in one or two weeks I assume, and we already know the title track. She better unleash it to radios soon.

Can't wait to hear this.

She made me a loon with 3 Words but lost me with the messy little album. :/

This better be good to justify the lack of Girls Aloud material right now!

I hope this is better than 'Promise This', not that it could be worse.

I love Promise This! It was Fight For This Love that was the dud for me.

 

(I know this is unpopular)

I'm no Cheryl loon but Fight For This Love > LIFE > The rest of 3 Words > Promise This, surely?

I never was actually that massive on 3 Words personally. Obviously Fight For This Love is still her best song by FAR, and I also love the title track, Parachute and Rain On Me but tracks like Don't Talk About This Love, Heaven and bloody Make Me Cry are awful.

 

Messy Little Raindrops had it's awful moments too (Live Tonight is still utterly unlistenable) but LT is the only track I'd skip. I'd say 3 Words has higher highlights but Messy Little Raindrops is my favourite album of hers overall.

 

 

Just for the sake of it, Cheryl top 5:

01 Fight For This Love

02 Promise This

03 3 Words

04 Hummingbird

05 Rain On Me

Both of Cheryl's albums so far have been sloppy and pretty poor by anybody's standards, but 3 Words is definitely the one packed with more genuinely good songs. I can barely listen to Messy Little Raindrops anymore, minus five or six tracks. I'm hoping she's spent enough time on this album for it to be a solid pop album.

WOW! I agree with every single point here! And I'd say that's probably my top 5 too :o

Haha great minds think alike :P

I quite like Make Me Cry. :P Fight For This Love is MILES better than any song she's done, but I do love Parachute too. I can only remember two songs of Messy Little Raindrops - the two singles...

Haha great minds think alike :P

 

Indeed! :lol:

I only have 3 Words. The album is ok, the singles and Rain On Me being the highlights. The rest of the album has a cheap sound to my ears, it's like they finished 4 songs and the rest were demos.

FFTL, 3 Words, Parachute, Promise This (It's a tune) and Rain On Me >>>>>>> Hummingbirds, Yeah Yeah, Happy Hour (if only they produced that song better) >>>>>>>>>>> the rest

Fight For This Love, Rain On Me, Stand Up and Yeah Yeah are her only 4 actually good songs I'd say. Messy Little Raindrops is probably one of the worst albums I've ever heard, 'Amnesia' being the ultimate horror.

 

It's a shame, I do actually WANT her to do something good. :(

The ultimate horror on MLR was Raindrops. One of the worst songs I've ever heard.

I listened to it earlier and that was by far my favourite. :P I also liked The Flood but the rest just sounded like demos, as others have said.

3 Words was an alright album, not great but not awful but Messy Little Raindrops was terrible all round. I absouletly despised 'Promise This' as well. Although 3 Words was of reasonable quality, the only Cheryl song I still listen to today and I would say I really love is the title track. It is just brilliant, and was very different compared to the generic clean cut pop of FFTL

I'm surprised no one is mentioning Waiting as the only other track with hit potential from the Messy Little Album.

 

And I'd have to say

 

1) 3 Words

2) Fight For This Love

3) Waiting

4) Rain On Me

5) Promise This (brilliantly redone by Adele at Live Lounge)

6) Parachute

7) Boy Like You (I'm a sucker for that sample!)

 

the rest is a bit naff tbh
