The demo sounds unfinished, anyway. I think Mariah made her on stamp on the song, based on the 30 second LQ clip we've heard. I'm really looking forward to hearing the full HQ version.

"HATE U" demo, sung by The-Dream. Man this sounds hot, and has potential to really smash on Urban/Rhythmic radio. I can't wait to her the final MC version.

Yeah, Seth Green was a big success. It really helped that the crowd were hot all night. It was one of the most enjoyable RAW's I can remember, actually. Now, ZZ Top hosting RAW next week? That does NOT sound like it will be a big success...

"Like You'll Never See Me Again" might be my favourite song of hers. Great slow R&B jam with a moving lyric.

Don't give up on "Obsessed" yet! It's still gaining at Urban and Rhythmic and there's much potential for this to take off on Pop. It's her highest Hot 100 debut since 1998.

People forget Mariah is coming back from a series of FLOP singles during her last era. "Touch My Body" did so well because it was coming off the back of her mega successful "Emancipation" record. Even if she doesn't reach the top top with "Obsessed", don't count her out. She's still gaining hard at Urban & Rhythmic radio, and tracks that smash on these formats tend to take off much later on Pop. OH, and she's #1 on Japanese iTunes. That's big for Mimi, who is far from done yet.

Oh man I can't wait to hear "Million Dollar Bill". Go get that smash Alicia. "Calling You Tonight" is a great track. I love the demo, it sounds so much like a track Whitney could sing. I'm so glad "IDNMOS" isn't the lead, that would've been hideous. It'll always be stuck as poor album filler to me.

I can't believe how many positive reviews I've come across. It's baffling that it's being praised so much, when I find it so incredibly dull. Ah, critics do get it wrong sometimes, don't they? ;)

I LOVE her. Anyone who says R&B is meaningless (LOL) should listen to her work. Lame generalisation as she's such a phenomenal writer. "The Diary of Alicia Keys" is her best album to date, although her three studio records have all produced some quality material. She has yet to have a bad album, although there's plenty of time for that... I believe J Records said her album is due out by the end of the year, but I'm not sure about that. If anyone's deserved of a forum it's A-Keys, but unfortunately her popularity is not as strong as it is in the U.S. I remember when she blew up, and thought "woah, this girl's gonna be a legend".

Great, great numbers for Maxwell.

I don't even think there is much hype surrounding this release now. I feared I would find it dull, and unfortunately I was right. "Battlefield" is really the only stand-out single and I've even tired of that. I really like her voice, attitude and appeal but feel this is lame material. All of the tracks are pretty much OK, and I think this will show in the number she sells. I always felt her debut was OK, but after hearing this record, I realise there were many more memorable tracks.

Man, I'm surprised more people aren't digging this. The production is crisp and the attitude in her vocal is just incredible. This song really is great, and I'm hoping it's her breakthrough track in the UK but I doubt it. I don't think the UK will embrace her artistry.

WOW. Does Leona have the swagger to pull off a Bangladesh track? I think so! Maybe that's just wishful thinking, but who cares, I'm so pumped for this album now. It seriously has the potential of being one of the year's best record. I've been praying for SOMETHING urban from her, and it looks like my wish has been granted.

I love MJ and all, but Maxwell's new record is just a masterpiece. His numbers are good, though. I can't believe I didn't even realise he was releasing this until last week. I suppose that's what happen when it takes 8 years to release a new album and there's little hype outside of my home country.

There's supposedly three versions of the video; the one on Yahoo, the one that will be premiered on AGT and the one to accomodate the remix. Anyway, I like the video that's been released on Yahoo. It's not as great as I was hoping, but this is only version 1. She looks HOT, though.

So, um, another song "Perfect" has leaked. Like "Overcome", I find the song so uninspiring. This wasn't what I was hoping for. Here's to hoping these are lame left-over tracks that don't make the album.

Punk's promo on Smackdown was just too good...

This is very generic. I think she's got a strong voice, but I don't think this is how they should market Alexandra. With that said, I highly doubt this will be the lead single, and if it is, this era will be destined for failure.
