Im just not feeling this dude music it seems to be done already or is it just me…. I guess im looking for the soulful voice and that dirty image we use to have back in the 90’s… and early 2000’s

One of my favorite songs on the album besides “Thank You”. My wallet is “suffocating” so I can’t support the dude right now but when i get my money right this is one album I will get off layaway.

He is so boring… His voice is nothing to rave over. He should try being different from the rest.. and the stuff he sings about? UGH! smoking, sex, etc.. c’mon now!

ALL YALL HATIN ON J HOLIDAY NEED 2 STOP AND RE-GROUP. ? NO1 CAN U SING……..UM PROBABLY NOT..?NO2 HAVE U EVEN LISTENED 2 HIS ALBUM…..HMM PROBABLY CANT AFFORD IT. THIS MAN IS ONE OF THE HOTTEST VOCALISTS OUT RIGHT NOW AND PROBABLY TO DATE. IT TAKES SEEING HIM IN CONCERT TO REALLY HEAR AND KNOW HIS TRUE TALENT. THE ALBUM IS ONE THAT U CAN PLAY STRAIGHT THRU. JUST CUZ HIS LOOK IS KIND OF THAT NOT OF AN R&B CAT DOES NOT MEAN HE DOESN’T HAVE TALENT. SO ONCE AGAIN STOP HATIN ON THE BROTHER AND STOP DICK RIDIN ALL THESE OTHER SORRY NO SINGING FOLS LIKE TPAIN ETC ETC…

not a fan. I haven’t heard anything from him that I am excited about. I don’t even find him attractive. But I hope it does well. Because If I don’t, then I’m “hating”? right.
Oh well.

I adore that song and him. He’s really talented. It’s refreshing since it’s not alot of singers out right now. Everyone is doing the same thing. He seems different. It’s nice to see a dude NOT dancing or trying to dance. His cd along with Trey Songz…very good. I love the song. I can’t wait for the video. That girl is sooo pretty to me. I’m happy he brought her back.

Ahh, my baby looks so cute!! I’m kinda jealous of how he’s holding the girl. Maybe if they didn’t use the same girl from the Bed video I wouldn’t be as jealous ‘cuz then I would know they didn’t have a ‘history’ LOL. Anywayz, can’t wait for the video. This is a hot song.

Good look on the Paris shoot and with the same girl from Bed, she’s gorgeous! I really like this song and its a great choice for a second single. His album’s really good, only a few songs you’d want to skip on, but otherwise pretty good. Go out and support it!

No one is hating different strokes for different folks @MEGG DOGG everyone have different taste I didnt take his talent away I just said he seems to be the same as everyone else hitting the air waves Im looking to spend my money on something different i like to do things outside the box and as well listen to things outside the box

Wednesday, November 7, 2007 /
for those tommbou for him to save money, he is also an emerging songwriter so i’m sure he’ll be fine. doesn’t the record label pay for videos when you are first starting out.. sort’ve like a loan?
anyway… lol yall can quit tommbou that’s ya man, apparently he already got a lil girl by somebody. maybe that chick is his baby mama.

I’m sorry but J. Holiday’s cd is fyre. Some call it a malufactured studio album but to me it has everything on it. Come Here, Pimp in Me, Fatal, Suffocate…just to name a few…If you want to listen to it i have the cd on my page (not tryin to get hits but just saying that it really should be listened to)…if you like what you hear than cop it..

tazz1504 I understand you….to me he is extremely mediocre…not saying he can’t sing, but where is the orginality and soulfulness at? He’s lackluster just like a lot of these artists out here today……

J Holiday pissed me off. He claimed he was bringing out something orginal, but when I played his cd…shit was wack, just like Trey Songz ( which was a major disappointment). For 2007, I give it up to Llyod, who did his thing…then sec. place goes to Neyo…everybody else is wack, including Mario…who has the best voice but wackiest songs.

I can’t believe how many of y’all think this is a great song…..it’s mediocre at best.
A handsone singer, a sexy lead lady, and a video shot in Paris don’t make a song hot.
You people are being bamboozled when it come to good music.
56.
WOAH
Wednesday, November 7, 2007 /
there’s something undeniably sexy about him! i just cant put my finger on what it is–perhaps its the fact that he can sng his butt off. love the song…can’t wait for the video.

his lisp and chris browns lisp bothers me. I just can’t get around it. lol the song is nice. Ummm, I miss 90s rnb males though. Everything is about formula these days. ella eh eh. lol But there is def. a lack of UMPH on the male side. Everyone is “ok”, no one is just WOW right now imo.

Who is that girl? I think she was first in the 50 Cent “Wanksta” vid *peeped her in there a while back— although she should definitely stick to classy ish like this*… but she’s so pretty. I know they just actin’ but they make a cute couple. I’m not feelin’ feelin’ the song but it’s slowly growin’ on me…

That’s a concert I would love to attend sans R. I cannot support child molesters. And why the hell would any woman want to be associated with that perv. Better yet, anybody. I guess the MTV special was right. People will undermine their own morals for that pocket change.

I’m going to be honest, I adore J. Holiday. He has a great image, sexy & alluring. The video for suffocate really captured the essence of love & romance, tres cute! But he needs a little work on his vocals… suffocate as a song, is allright, but something is missing from it… funny thing thu, it sounds very much like an R. Kelly jam from back in the day…when i get the title i will post it!
Goodluck J.
