love johnta!

Brian, “Like A Boy” was produced by Calvo Da Gr8, not The Clutch.

johnta song is hot

mi cuarto!!!!!

been feelin that ciara joint.

chili is ok. could be better.

@ 2, no it’s not, she even says it in the song.

…she says the Clutch

love that beyonce song with shakira and the vid. ciara like a boy dats my shit she be blazin everything.

I been liking that Johnta joint for a while! I love him. Im still waiting for Ocean Drive to drop!

That Chili song is wack. Throw it in the trash. The only reason her album is going to sell is if you throw it out your upstairs window.

Chilli is ok, could have been better, but throwing in the towel? Can’t even imagine her doing that.

The Clutch wrote “Like A Boy” they didn’t produce it or they might have co-produced it but it was produced by Calvo Da Gr8

I can see it now, the hatred of one song, which will not be named.

no the clutch produced it. visit their myspace page & yes she does say it in the song.

i was first,the first since i’ve been on this site

why is there only 5 seconds of johnta’s song?

Missy really needs to let Tim do all the producing from now on. She has wrecked Tweet and Monica imo. Straight Jack is not even half as good as Gameproof (which says alot). I agree Chilli needs to come harder or go away. Beautiful Liar? Two words: HOT Garbage! Bouncy still has failed to channel her fierce alter-ego, Sasha. I really thought she was going to use the re-release to redeem herself, but instead she decides to go further downhill. And might I add, the video only reinforces her image as one of the leading swagger jackers in the industry. Enough about her though. Other than Get Up and Promise, Goodies Pt 2 is also garbage. There is not another hit on that album which explains why Cici was trying to milk Promise with an R.Kelly remix (ugh!) In conclusion (lol), all the songs pretty much suck these week, thanks tho

On Ciara’s ‘Evolution’ the groove remains the same

By Sarah Rodman, Globe Staff | December 5, 2006

The angular strings and gender-role-switching contemplations of the rousing “Like a Boy ,” produced by Calvo Da Gr8 , also strike an intriguing, offbeat chord in the careworn infidelity oeuvre that is a staple of R&B.

Chilli’s joint couls have been better, but I like it.

I HATE when you post the new music review and half the shit is recycled. FALSE ADVERTISING.

@13

They have “Ice Box” on their too but they didn’t produce that neither.

Go Ci Ci..u looking yummy these days girl! Chili old skool diva…show these BE-ITCHES how it’s supposed to be done! OKayyy

Chilli’s song is straight HOT GARBAGE!!!! WTF???

**runs to plays some REAL music to get rid of that horrible noise ringing in my ears**

Wow Chilli are you kidding me? This better be something you did cuz u were bored one day.

I had that Beyonce song…

hmm who knows u could be right. but on keri hilsons myspace she has pics of her & the clutch in the studio with omarion—caption reads something like clutch & omarion icebox session, but im not sure.

is missy jamaican if not she needs to stop

chilli is talking not singing this sounds bad just terrible

If anyone has the new Ciara album, please read the credits for “like a boy” so we can clear this matter. And no offense Compton Chick, but sometimes writers get it wrong too.

I guess chili straight jacked that beat b/c it sounds so much like blindfold me from kelis. The second i heard it i was like that is so familiar.

My view of beautiful liar still stands I liked it w/o shakira. her voice kinda throughs it off for me. I know her voice sounds”ok” on her music but she didn’t pull it off on this one. However, these two equal pop sensation which means sells, period.

And I don’t understand why people are so into Like a Boy to me it is the wackest on the album. But who cares. I wish she could be like a singer, LOL!!

jonta song has a good beat and his voice is smooth

Sweetneesee you crazy lmao lol

#26 it’s right here:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Like_a_Boy

Thank You KayKay!

I’m really feelin’ the Johnta song….Ciara song is the SHIT! The rest is whatever…

I’m still getting that recycled beat from BMC. I’m sorry, but that is what I feel.

I love the new ciara song,its fire and the best song ive heard in a while.The choregography is crazy.

Wonder what Ci’s next single is? I love C.R.U.S.H. That would make a great single.

#15 oh wow some serious hatred going on…beyonce a swagger jacker..?? seems like everyone just wants artists to show no similiarity to eachother whatsoever or they’re trying to be someone else…both shakira and beyonce decided on focusing on combining eachothers looks, and the song is very different from both shakira and beyonce. ciara, love it. flawless in my eyes (same as beyonce and shakira) love her..chili, ummmm not feeling it at all….

can you please re-post the original “Beautiful Liar” without Shakira? thanks

@26

It’s produced by Calvo Da Gr8 trust me and I don’t even like Ciara like that, and I really don’t even like the song because she’s not singing. But you have to give credit where credit is due.

@27

Are you sure? That’s the second best song I’ve ever heard from Ciara (lyrically wise thanks to The Clutch)

YOU WELCOME GIRL! I THOUGHT WHAT U SAID ABOUT CIARA WAS FUNNY lol

BUT I HAVE TO ADMIT SHE IS Entertaining

Brian these are the same songs…..except for chilli and johnta who i carelss about.

Brian do u think you can post the ciara “promise” vocals on aaliyah’s “one in a million” instrumentals and vice versa cuz those remixes are hot to death thanku.

Ok,now I love me some TLC.But Chilli is really “not” doing the damn thang. The beat is hot but like the other poster said it does sound too much Kelis.
She needs to let go of the “old” TLC type songs and update her sound.She will not sell many records trying to hold on to their old sound. TLC fans are grown now and want some grown folk music. And please let go of the “oh no” IRRITATING to say the least!! And take Missy a^^ off the track. Whackety Whack
I know she can do better. She has a really nice voice when she actually sings.

I actually liked Beautiful Liar. I was kinda of skeptical about Beyonce and Sharika doing a song together but when I heard the song it wasn’t as bad as I thought it was going to be. I like Sharika and she was doing her thing in this video. As for Chilli’s song, it was boring and about put me to sleep. I was disappointed when I heard the song. She really could of done a lot better than this. It was dull boring and it didn’t really catch my attention. Hopefully, she will come out with some better songs than this. Mary J and Johnta’s song I really wasn’t feeling it too much. Overall this music review reeks.

Ciara is doing her thing….that girl is just doin it for the pop/r&b scene right now..even Jim Jones said it on Hot 97.

36, combining each other looks? More like Simon dice con Shakira. There was that one part in the video when Shakira had straight hair. I guess she was trying to beyoncesque there, but other than, its pretty much a Shakira video.

Brian…that is not Chilli, seriously. If it is, she is playing around in the studio or recorded that on her cell phone. It’S horrible. If it is really her..she deserves H.A.M. of the year award

I’m so sad cuz i was cranking all my old tlc cds all weekend..and now this…

Why do all of B. Cox’s beats soung the same? Burn that damn piano!

the problem w/johnta is that he just doesn’t have the “look”. he’s bettr as a writer behind-the-scenes, no hate, just how i see it. plus i was on his myspace and his music sounds like the back in the day joints and i don’t think the public is ready for that

hated all the other songs

I like Chilli’s song…kinda…I downloaded it… it kinda sounds like “Blindfold Me”’s beat though…n what does straight jack mean?

i love da video version of “Like A Boy” and i seen dat da Chili song was done by Polow Da Don

TKO Johnta & Mary I’m loving it.

OK, so I’m gonna admit that ever since Ciara came out I Been hatin hard cause she has the vocal talent of a wet cardboard box, but I will admit that this chick knows how to get good producers, cause “Like A Boy” does make me tap my toe (even tho sometimes it seems like she isnt singing on any beat, shes just throwing words together) but unfortunately when I’m done tapping my toe I am still plagues with the fact that she can’t sing and the song sounds reminiscent of a Zales Diamond commercial……Unfortunately the music industry needs a jumpstart with singers that CAN ACTUALLY SING….cause if Ciara would have come out at any other time she would’ve been a filler artist who faded to black……..(By the way the track was jointly produced by The Clutch and Calvo Da Gr8)

Now Beautiful Liar has good vocals from both parties, but I can’t get over how the production sounds like it was made in Mathew Knowles basement with a Casio keyboard, and some samples of a spanish horn….The Beat is too throback sounding like circa 1999….But never the less Beyonce and Shakira have proven themselves as true artists so I don’t think that they needed to come out with anything super Hott…But I think either come hard or don’t come at all…..

AND CHILLI….TOO BAD she really needs to step her game up cause I’m sorry but that song is straight jacked from Kelis, and NO ONE says Jacked…(Not Even white people), Missy Elliott is played out, and she still gels down her baby hair like Daishiki from Dont be a menace to south central….I kno Left eye passed on (RIP) but come on girl pick it up and keep it movin…and movin away from missy’s no producin ass, and over to Timbaland or Polow or Pharrell or somethin….

and That B.Cox Joint is whatever… I was kinda in a sleepy daze listening to it….and furthermore Mr. Cox needs to go work on his production style cause the only thing he made that makes me listen is that Danity Kane Track “Ride For You” and even then it sounds like an Old Kanye throback production from 2002…….Other wise his songs are either too boring…or doing too much with drums and horns in disarray…..

UM WHEN IS MARIAH, AND WHITNEY, AND CHRISTINA, AND R. KELLY, AND ALL THE GOOD SINGERS GONNA COME BACK AND HIT US UP WITH SOME HOT SHYT!!!…cause this music is wakk…

I love Johnta and Mary’s song….very nice.

All the opher songs are ok. I like the beat to Chilli’s song and Missy is doing her thing.

straight jack? hmmmmmm? what?

Ok question, concerning the music yall post up.. Now I aint trying to start no shit.. but as CL gets bigger and more industry heads is checking it out…
Yall gotta becareful with putting up these folks music and vids.. the RIAA can be a real motherchucker..just something for yall to look into..maybe consult an entertainment lawyer to be on the safe side.. As big and bad as P is “Thats Prince to non fam”.. He was forced to shut done his wildly popular npgmusicclub.com Because of claims of infringement.. I love CL despite are different opinons on some of the artist we discuss..we are a fam..Yall just make sure ya cover ur asses legally!

I’m a huge fan of Johnta Austin, his music is great and I really do hate that hes falling into that trap, his music is actually VERY good.

Beautiful Liar - Hate the song, Hate the video.

Straight Jack - UGH!

Like A Boy - Don’t matter to me cause the video is JAMMIN!

Isn’t that Chilli track from 2005?

I purchased “The Evolution” and the credits/cd notes for Ciara’s Like a Boy read: Produced by Calvo Da Gr8 for Frequency Revolution Co-Produced by Ciara for C-Era Music Inc. & The Clutch. Hope this really clears things up.

I think the writers are listed in the credits right after the song title. They are … C.P. Harris, C. Nelson, B. Muhammad, J. Que, E. Lewis & C. Kenon.

the only song i like is ciara and bee/shakira

According to Wikipedia and her biggest fan site, that’s REALLY Chilli’s first single. OH NO! She can save this with a hotter than hot video otherwise she’s over. The song isn’t hot enough!! Easily forgettable.

Let me guess who produced the Jonsta and Mary song..B.Cox that beat never fails i tell u lol..He just switched it up some…I like chilli song be blastin it in my car..Hot..

Don’t like Beautiful Liar, and Ciara I’m lovin like a boy but she should have titled it Like a Nigga, cus only nigga’s act like that lol..Not real men..

major props to Ciara. she should have been a 1 hit wonder like tieara marri/brooke valentine yet she’s come back harder than ever & her album’s already gone platinum. for someone who can’t sing amazingly (she’s not actually that bad a singer & she sure as hell ain’t a Cassie).

love the fact that she did this song despite the tranny rumours: brave & innovative

#40 - Here is the link to the Aaliyah’s Promise Remix - http://r0bin.imeem.com/mu..._a_million_promise_remix/

#40 - Here’s the link for Ciara’s Promise Remix with the Aaliyah One In A Million Beat - http://quisndom.imeem.com...U5q/promise_aaliyah_beat/

As far as the new music review, not really feeling any of the songs. Straight Jack was cool before Chilli opened her mouth. The beat was on point. Nice to dance/work-out to.

“Straight Jack” was produced by Polow Da Don.

“Like A Boy” was produced by Calvo Da Gr8

“Straight Jack” sounds like it most probably originally recorded to Blindfold Me but Kelis jumped at it first and Polow had to go in and redo it.

Pretty underwhelming regardless.

Missy’s production always sucks , it only seems to work for her.

BEE/Shakira song Is OFF THE CHAIN..They are so HOTTTTTT. Looks like Beyonce did it again my friends…Go Ladies you are lovely!!

Chilli need her ass whooped.

I love Johnta both vocally and as a writer but even Mary couldn’t save that bullshit song. I see why it was left off his destined-to-fail album.

We’ve already heard the other two songs so NEXT!

Got damn I am not pleased with the Chilli song. Chilli can actually sing, she has a nice voice, so why is she talking?

CC doin tha damn thang, an sexiii as hell doin it…Chilli could of came betta 4 a come back song

I love the remixed version of like a boy! If yall didnt hear she’s gonna be on trl ALL WEEK LONG next week so dont miss out…Im sure she’s gonna perform atleast once!

lol @ Like a nigga. I can relate to that

That Ciara joint is so HOT!!! Because its so true!

That Chili feat. Missy track was produced by POlow Da Don!!!

@16, well slap me around and call me suzy! lol!
and @40 , yeah I’ve heard some of those remixes on youtube and I’ve been trying to find them, they fit perfectly!

Johnta’s song sux

and Shakira was on the other version that was on here.

Chili song was pointless. Why waste studio time to make a song like that?

kind of random, but they’ve been playing the Kelly Rowland and Eve song, and it sound good on the radio. I know it’s more of girl’s song, but I found myself bobbing my head to it on the way home from the gym the other day! haha

Ciara is a studio gimmick. She sings every other word live (like Rihanna) to sound like she’s singing live. She can dance, but who can’t? I wouldn’t want her dancing skills or body - it’s too boyish and that’s how men look at her - “Like A Boy.”

Chilli was done when she was on TLC. Who’s surprised?

BEYONCE & SHAKIRA - ABSOLUTE FIYAH! This track sounds like it was made to suit Shakira (low vocals, low bass, etc.) and the video is classy without them even trying. I love the song (the lyrics are the truth) and them looking like twins in the video - HAUT! I’m also an even bigger fan of Beyonce’s now that she’s shown the world she can dance alongside Shakira - KEEP UPGRADING THESE BEE-YATTCHES BABY!!

Johnta Austin can’t get off because he wrote everything just about for Usher and his sounds already out - under another face. He should’ve come out first because now he can’t find a crowd to follow him. Yes, he wrote for Mary and others, but his own single sounds like an Usher song and that’s why he can’t get off.

i agree with the person that said burn the damn piano. b.cox, we’re all over it as your production is stale. if you take the artist away from his production, its the same loop pattern. lay the piano to rest cos the shit is dead as you used it for MH, Danity Kane, MJB, Johnta, Mariah. & some other shit that didn’t sell last year.)

to my ppl accept greatness not this mediocrity.

o boy this never gets old, haters hate madly on Ciara cuz she is PURE talent and I love her to death. She is doing it and everybody feeling “Like A Boy” for its hardcore beat and mad ass lyrics. Calvo did his thang and he only 19! Go Cici! Bey is my gurl so I’m always feeling whatever she does even if its shitty and plus she got my gurl Shakira on it too. well that about it.

This Chilli is JAMMIN!!!!

This my new shit, AYYYYYYYYYY!!!!!!!!!!!!!

dont like Ciara since she cant sing

im likin that johnta song

r u sure teh beautiful liar song is the full one cuz i saw it on my space and its liek 3+ minutes?

Feelin the Johnta, his style and song for a while…but there is something element missing from making it a monster hit.

Hittin main stream is also hard…and i feel that he doesnt have the “it” look…so hes gonna have to step up his game alot harder.

Overall…i like his swag.

IF U DONT LIKE SOMEONE THEN WHY MAKE A COMMENT ABOUT THEN PPL ARE SO INTERESTING

Beyonce’s B-day was not worth of all the buzz. Shakira is an amazing artist and I was expecting more from the two…just shows two big names put together doesn’t always equal magic.

@compton chick

actually ciara co-wrote that song,so u should give thanks to her 2………….u dont have too because i know how u feel about her singing,but she did write a whole lot on this track!

Sorry but whoever said there is not another hit song on ciara’s album………THINK AGAIN?
because there are a few more,and like boy brought her album sells up already.

anyway:

So hard
make it last forever
C.R.U.S.H
i found myself

could be all hit songs.Sorry dont hate just appreciate and everything will be cool,and yup,yup,yup im a stan.

^^^ Oh you left out

My Love
Bang It Up
Can’t Leave Em’ Alone
and That’s Right
Maybe…I Proceed

I think Chillies new song is hot, i didnt like Justins sexy back the first time i heard it but after listening to it a couple times it was stuck on me. Thats the same thing i got wit this song. Plus i think this might just be a leaked song

The new Beyonce and Shakira song is hot. It’s a good thing Mr. Knowles stepped in and suggested Shakira in the first place. The original doesn’t sound good with just Beyonce singing. But Shakira totally goes off on this joint and we all know that Beyonce didn’t write this track because the lyrics are mature and they make sense.

Ciara’s song is alright. Beyonce and Shakira’s song is nice. That Chilli track is alright to me, I feel where she’s coming from at this point. I love Johnta Austin and Mary J.’s track.

@89

Those lyrics do not make sense so im thinking Beyonce wrote it.

Chilli’song has the same exact beat as Kelis’ Blindfold Me….what is this chick on? lol

maybe calvo is a member of the clutch. c said she cowrote and coproduced w/ this 19 year old boy

i like all the tracks except Chilli’s & Johnta Austin.both are lackluster.

@93

No The Clutch is a group of music writers/producrs but Calvo Da Gr8 is on his own.

I’m feeling the Ciara song and the video is cute. Everything else need to backtrack, rewind and redo! I’m not sure why Beyonce recorded Beautiful Liar, I mean I see what she was tryin’ to do, but it doenst blow my hair back so to speak. I was also wondering have you guys her Beyonce’s song “Lost Yo Mind”? Now dats the song she should have put out.

#44 maybe the style did favor shakira a little bit more but beyonce is still young and experimenting as an artists. of course she’s gonna cross some borders and try different styles until she fines where she’s most comfortable at. she’s gonna put out stuff that resemble other artists styles but becuz she’s already so huge everybody wants to make a big deal out of it.

ciara is doin it hot latley

promise then like a boy

feeling it

@91 well is it possible you’re just having trouble comprehending. they make sense to me

Yea I know Im a lil late but yea Compton Chick23 is right. “Like A boy” was produced by Calvo da Gr8, a wonderful producer from Baltimore (Yea Baltimore) = ). So that needs to be edited on this page asap

I dont care what nobody says about Chilli she already conquered the world with the best selling girl girl of all time which is TLC remember that so she doesnt have to try to do anything TLC is forever like they said they’ve done it all whats left come on now ya’ll know who ruled the 90’s before a destinys child before swv before 702 before 3lw before before dark before allure reconize that so to all yall haters get a life she already has one start thinking about yall future she already did that and keep her name out of yall mouth if yall dont have nothin postive to say thanx………
