Yall a bunch of haters. Leonas not a soul type of singer- so why does she need soul? shes more pop/rnb. Her bleeding love song has tons of emotion, forgive me does as well, but its abit more light hearted and fun. I feel emotion when she sings- yall should listen to yesterday on her album. But thats probably not your thing. If you aint feelen her dont listen to her, plenty are dats why shes #1 this week.
she has a fresh sound and unique tone- dats more important than whoever has the biggest pipes, which im sure many over leona. What leona has is the combo- range/tone/quality ..

btw not feeling Michelle song, boring..next

Definitely excited to see what Michelle is doing with the new look and her music. About damn time another dc member got their shine. And people really need to stop hating on Leona Lewis, she is by the best vocalist discovered in the millenium; Mariah and Whitney are 90’s and not too mention huge disappointments. Bet your bottom dollar Whitney’s cracked out voice can’t hit anything and Mariah’s salene and silicone injections are going to her head because what in the hell is that mess she put out? Touch my body?! the fact that someone like Mariah would stoop as low as to refer to Youtube in her song just makes her look desperate and unsure of the talent she used to possess!

and i think cherish needs to step aside because there is a new girl band making big things happen and their album is hot. Danity Kane baby! What!

Michelle do the damn thang, and that album need to come out in June. I also hope there are some ballads on the album showing off your great vocal talents.

LOOK I AM 46 YEARS YOUNG AND LISTENED TO THE SONGS AND BEFORE ANY PERSON SAYS I AM HATING IT IS NOT TRUE, DON’T KNOW THESE PEOPLE BUT I AM SORRY IF THIS OFFENDS YOU BUT TO ME NEITHER OF THESE ARTIST ARE ANYONE FOR ME TO WRITE HOME TO MAMA BOUT. I AM NOT FEELING EITHER ARTIST, WE ALL HAVE OUR OWN LIKES AND DISLIKES. BY THE WAY WHEN I WAS IN HIGH SCHOOL AND COLLEGE I WAS NOT A FOLLOWER NOR DID ID CLIQUES, THAT IS PROBABLY IS WHY I HAVE MY PHD TODAY AND SOME OF THE FOLLOWERS AAND CLIQUES WHO ALL LIKE THE SAME THING HAVE NOT ACHIEVED VERY MUCH. PEOPLE DON’T HAVE TO LIKE WHAT YOU LIKE.I COME HEE MOSTTLY FOR THE INTELEECTUAL STUFF BECAUSE I KNOW THE MUSIC IS NOTHING BUT PUBLICITY TO GET US TO BUY A ARTIST MUSIC AND USUSALLY THE WEB SITE PUSHES AND EXPOSES WHO THEY PERSONALLY FAVOR SO I DON’T BY INTO IT.SORRY!!!! IT’S ALL A SCAM AND I USUALLY WOULD SUPPORT SOMEONE LIKE SIMONE ETC. SOMEBODY WHOM YOU ALL DON’T HYPE UP AND I LIVE IN NY THERE A CLUBS EVERYWHERE SO I DON’T HAVE TO GET MY ENTERTAINMENT FROM BLOGS.

Michelle is giving me what I want.

cherish song is already on my mp3 player,its been there a week now,i love this song and their harmonies are always on point

I like the Michelle track the best out these 4! I like how shes stepping out of her Box and comfort zone! This CD should be interesting!

Leona Lewis sounds like a Fake Mariah/Whitney wannabe. Simon from American Idol can forget it, she will never a Mariah. Ever.

I CANNOT WAIT 4 MICHELLE’S COMEBACK… I’M ALREADY LYKIN WAT I’M HEARING!!!!!

LEONA BLOWS ME AWAY!!!!…. I WILL GIVE YOU END OF THIS YEAR AND LEONA WILL WIN YOU OVA!!!!!… THE SAME PPL WHO R CALLING HER MARIAH OR WHITNEY WANNABE R THE SAME PPL WHO WILL BE HUMMING EVERY TUNE ON THEIR STEREO WEN HER ALBUM DROPS!!!!!! LMAO!!!!!!!!!! SMH!!!!

im feeling cherish….

tired of 50

I love Michelle and her music.

Can Ciara sing? no, Michelle actually sings better than Ciara, so people need to HOPE THE FUCK OFFFFF! and oh, mostly white folk might buy michelles album anywaysss! ughhhhh

AGREES W/ #1…I MISSED THE MARK ON THAT ONE…

BUT THEN AGAIN, I WASN’T FEELIN WINEHOUSE EITHER BUT NOW I STAN FOR HER…I THINK I NEED TO HEAR SOMETHING ELSE FROM HER.

the songs are OK

Loved the Cherish Song.

WELL DAMN, MICHELLLE! YOU KILLIN’ THE GAME, GIRL. BRINGING THAT FIYAH WITH EVERY JOINT…I CAN’T STOP PLAYING THIS SONG. IT DOESN’T SURPRISE ME, I ALWAYS KNEW YOU WERE TALENTED. I’M JUST GLAD YOU ARE SHOWING THE REST OF THE WORLD THAT YOU ARE THE TRUTH!

YOU BETTA WORK, CHICK. I’M WAITING ON THAT ALBUM WITH MUCH ANTICIPATION!!!!!!! AUGUST IS WAY TOO FAR WAY…BRING THAT BAD BOY OUT NOW!!!!

OH YEAH, THAT CHERISH JOINT IS HOT LIKE FIYAH TOO!

Im lovin my girl Michelle and especially this track!

Has it ever occurred to some of you ignorant folks that people actually LIKE the songs? I like the Michelle songs that were leaked. They sound good TO ME. If you don’t like them, fine. But don’t automatically assume that everybody is only liking these songs because of hype. Gotdamn!

I like Michelle’s song. I look forward to hearing her album.

Leona’s song…Hated It. I would love to hear a Leona song that I like..but I just haven’t heard it yet:)

I like Cherish’s song . Sometimes their songs be alil watered down, but overall they have potential to be the new Xscape or SWV. They had a few cute songs that I liked … and I’d rather listen to them than Day 26:)

The G-Unit song is okay. I think at this point u have to either be a G-Unit fan or not. I would have to bang this in my car with the windows vibrating to get the full effect, the beat is definitely a banger and the lyrics are typical G-Unit lyrics. I love u Young Buck, I’ll put my back into it. LOL.

The Michelle song is hot. I feel like the biggest factor that could prevent her album from being a success is the August release date; it’s too early for her songs to be leaking like this and by August everyone will have already heard her album so hopefully her camp decides to move the date up to at least June..

I really like Leona’s voice but she is really just a product right now. Im pretty sure that her next album will be much better! more personal hopefully.

REAAAAAAALY feelin that cherish song, i was really hoping they would make a comeback

i love all the songs, Leona lewis, G-unit, Michelle, and Cherish

and i don’t understand some of you haters, hating on some of these artists for no reason, just because you have your personal problems against them for whatever reason, doest mean they’re songs suck,

and that includes the people that write these reviews (cough..cough..Brian)

i hear ya michelle and i like that song by cherish.thats my jam

I’m sorry, she can sing, but Leona Lewis is boring as hell. She’s an “exotic beauty”. That’s what I think the hype is all about.. She needs some better producers. Michelle is jammin for real this time. I’m interested to see what else Cherish has to offer. And Curtis can’t do anything for me from the neck up, my apologies…..lol

@aka new yorker

I said that because i noticed alot of mainstream bloggers like Leona, as opposed to alot of majority black bloggers don’t seem to. I stick by that. We don’t agree….ok.

@politically incorrect

I don’t agree….i think an artists race sometimes do play a part in how popular they are with some races only as to refer to the cultures of the races. So i think color does have a percentage to do with record sales. That’s why there’s such a term “crossover.” There would be no need for that term if race had nothing do with it.

TEAM MICHELLE!!! I LOVE THE TRACK…Ive been blasting it all day!!!

Wait a minute now everything is not for verybody, some people have their favorite cars, some people will not even live in certain neighborhoods, some people have favorite stores, I personall won’t shop at a dollar store but does thatmean I hate people who do no, my perference> My mom wouldn’t like any of it there is only one young lady she will listen to or buy or maybe some old school stuff is she a hater no. We just don’t like it.
Look to be honest I work in a clerical/administration postion for a well know label and what this is called is sft selling it is free publicity for the artist using the web to get a feel for the music.ome bigger artists or good selling artists don’t like this but this is a magmt decsion, Papa Knowles is widely known fo soft selling, so that is why I really have ntohing to say about any of these is all about using you guys to get exposure. Leona because she is new and it herlps her to get heard,a nd Michelle it keeps her relevant and when people have been out of the loop, its needed.
This is all publicity so don’t get upset if someonoe does not like something you do.
I personally don’t like soft selling I generally look at an artist live performance to sincerely judge their skills, the studios can do so much with sound, Everything is so hyped now. I have heard Leona live I more than once and she sounds better recorded, there are not many great live vocalist out here. Look at Mariah she did lousy lasy week live, just lousy!!!! But her download is good this week.
It’s just music you guys and ther will be someone tomorrow you will be saying the same thing about Fiyah!!!! fiyah and fab are the two youth words.
Now Michelle I personally don’t like it, but I don’t hate her wish her much success.I quess I am around msuic everyday so I hear a lot it takes some great vccals and runs to move me, and I liten for cavity quality, resonance, there are a couple of artist who display this.

Yes, this music tracks al just leaked onthe internet here at the loop and elswheres just like that, now I wish I was the fly on the wall during the phone calls and e-mails. See yo!!!! no comment about either ladies.

I really, really listened to Micheele you guys and I guess because I don’t do dance clubs I am not feeling it???
Sorry Leona today you are not Whitney or Maria, this is an insult when these people have not really put in any work and people start labeling other singers who are alive and kicking and they can not do their music better than them???? HYPE

Cleo Feat Foxy Brown http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CNrv2fjlkxE Its HOT!!!

Cleo was the lead singer of Madonna’s girlgroup Cleopatra (Comin’ Atcha!)
http://www.myspace.com/lovecleo. The remix with Foxy is HAWT!!!

Love Cherish them lil monkeys make some good music.

GET IT MICHELLE IT IS SO HOT!! I’M BUYING THE ALBULM !

Michelle, don’t like the single.

Leona, why bother? It sounds weak as hell.

Cherish, it sounds sweet.

G-unit, the beat sounds like another track I’ve heard on your previous albums.

I like that Cherish song. They should stick to ballads. Those were the best on their last album.

I’m not feeling Michelle, 50 Cent nor that other chick

but I do love Cherish song though

Love all the Michelle songs but her album needs to come out early June, or else people will lose interest.

I’m excited about Michelle’s look and sound…

Leona is definitely getting the EXECUTIVE PUSH from her U.S. label….

I don’t see Cherish being major…

50 needs a longer break…

Great job Michelle!!

I don’t get what the big deal about Leonna is. Comparisons to Whitney are extremely misplaced.

Michelle Williams - She’s an exceptional gospel artist, and she’s continuing to bring the heat with her “secular” music. Besides the title track, “Unexpected,” this has got to be my favorite of her leaked tracks so far. I will definitely have to support Michelle and go out and go out and buy the album this summer.

Leona Lewis - I’m really not feeling this track, but I love many of her other tracks, especially “Misses Glass” and “Angel.”

Cherish - They are really impressing me! I absolutely love this track.

G-Unit - I’m really feeling this one, too. I like 50’s part.

Overall, this was a great post. Keep ‘em coming!

I like Cherish’s song. Sometimes songs have to grow on me but I like this from jump.

Michelle Williams…..NEXT!!!

Leona better get it. Although the track is kinda “Sweet Escape”-ish …yall know that last year jam wit Gwen and Akon…kinda reminds me of that…but I refuse to hate. The chick is the truth…soul? PUH-LEEZE…with those pipes who gives a ^*$@ ?

Michelle doing big things too…but I’m suprised the loop aint post yet another Beyonce snippet that “leaked”. Something just aint right with this-MATTHEW IM LOOKIN AT U…Michelle needs to drop that fool with the quickness

#54 I was just thinking the same thing. It’s way too many over the top compliments regarding Michelle’s song. I know ppl have different tastes but this song is far from Fiyah.

You crazy #54…burn this mess…lol

I’m not feeling Michelle and I so over G_Unit & 50.

I love myself some destiny child…however michelle I wish you the best because clearly out of the two you are the underdog. I didn’t expect your stuff to be on fire, I actually thought this direction is where they should have put kelly, she never was the booty shaking type, however when I heard all of these different sungs this is definetly you… I hope that you break the charts with this, tell your team to push these records over seas, they love this type of music.. I will be buying the album.. I always root for the underdog.. I love you and remeber God is the reason your career is going in the positive direction it is. TLD

Alright I know that alot of people on here are giving Leona Lewis a very hard time because she isn’t “soul”. Well I would agree that Leona Lewis is not a load singer but she has a very sweet and angelic sound to her. You don’t have to usse alot of bravado to be considered a “soul” singer. I think Leona is fine she just needs to have more confidence because she indeed has it.

Leona Lewis may want to seriously think about getting all new songwriters for her next album, or there may not be a third.

LOVIN’ MICHELLE’S MATERIAL!!!! LOVE THIS JAM, FEELIN’ DANCE VIBE, ANOTHA HIT!!! BUYIN’ MULTIPLE COPIES OF DA ALBUM!!!!

RELEASE THIS BAD BOY EARLY JULY OR LATE JUNE!!!!

Go head Cherish…..that first singer ( i don’t know her name) she kinda sound likke mya, when she’s not screamin…but im feelin the song…i always thought they could sing…get it girls..i like Michelle song.. its cool…
Leona- I dont know

aint 50 in his 30’s?? Grow up..that crap u rapping about is soo whack and it dont look good on you.. Grow up…mad whack..

yall crazy LEONA IS HOT..not this song though..i love “better in time” by her…and that cherish song..LOVE IT!

not everyone needs to have soul though so why does it matter if she has soul. what’s more important is that i never feel anything when she sings. i mean celine dion isn’t a soul singer but the woman shows emotion when she sings. i feel like leona is too caught on trying to sound like mariah that she pays more attention to technique than emotion. like she thinks about where to put the “ooh” instead of feeling it.
——> I think when people are saying “she doesn’t have soul” they’re not talking about the genre of soul music but definitely about emotions in her voice. In this case Celine Dion HAS soul even if she doesn’t sing soul. Most people feel Leona doesn’t HAVE that soul regardless of what she sings, they have the same opinion as you, actually.

and jscene, how can you say that we’re “hating black females” just b/c we don’t like leona much yet you turn around and criticize michelle whose music is sounding better than leona’s imo.
———> Exactly! And I know males who don’t like Leona. They find her “hot” but they don’t dig her music, are they tagged haters??? But black women for some reason always have to be tagged something negative.

Cherish song really does remind me of that ‘gone’ track by nsync, knw the drama they’re talking about well…

love the cherish track, i really like leona, shes got it all, good on you girl… but this album doesn’t do her justice, its very weak and as much as i support her, from the tracks i’ve herd, i wouldn’t wanna buy the album, please Simone, on the next album up your Game or your gonna wreck this girls career.

Didn’t expect that from Michele. Its a nice dance track but I’m not blown away by it.

Leona Lewis–NEXT! Reminds me of Taylor Dane & Mariah Carey. Been there done that and she’s not even a good replica of the two. She can sing but its boring. Not really feeling her or that girl Estelle, stay on ya’ll side of the pond!

Cherish–surprisingly, I like this song. Its nice.

G-Unit—NEXT! SO WACK!

People need to understand when people say SHE DOESNT HAVE SOUL they don’t TALK ABOUT THE GENRE SOUL they mean SHE HAS NO EMOTIONS, SHE DOESNT PUT HER SOUL INTO HER MUSIC.

Celine Dion and Barbra Streisand DONT SING SOUL yet THEY HAVE SOUL. Joss Stone SINGS SOUL but DOESNT HAVE SOUL IMO.

Understand the meaning of the expression please!!

Wow Michelle, it’s better than I expected. Are they testing dance music with Michelle to see how people will respond before making Beyonce do it?

50 cent is STILL the worst…

leona lewis sounds just as good as any other African American singer thats out now and not doing all that great she is in the category with Amerie, Monica, Brandy, Ashanti just another R & B singer. She aint no Alicia or Beyonce

G UNIT AND 50 HAVE ALOT OF HATERS I SEE BUT LIKE THEY SAY MONEY BRINGS HATE LOL………………………

@131 oh now i get it lol i just always think soul music when ppl say that but you’re right, showing emotion is still singing with soul. and yes, black women are ALWAYS considered haters no matter what we do. that’s why i just state my opinion and i don’t care who agrees or if i’m called a hater anymore

Michelle– I love the song…Cant wait to hear the album. I didnt even know she had it like that! (lol)

Leona– Im not really feelin the song but she has a beautiful voice

Cherish– I really like this song…i’ve played it 3 times already. Something different for me.

G-unit– WTF? I hope this isnt the first single, otherwise those album sales are going to be in trouble…

All the songs aint available anymore….

Thanks cl….

lolllll
