She has a great voice…not anything I haven’t heard before, but still good. The song, however, too slow and boring. The lyrics aren’t great either. Get her with the right producer and I think she could have a hit.

I agree w/ # 3. She is pretty and I love her hair. But the song is just okay. Its okay as a album filler.

OMG…not even 5 posts in, and Bey’s name is already mentioned. WTF. Ms. Carter is not the only female singer who uses alot of vibrato…sheesh!
Now, the song isn’t anything new (as far as lyrics go), but she has a nice voice.

I actually thought she sounded like Rihanna- it sounds like something Riri would sing.
Bey didn’t come to mind, their voices are totally different imo

She has a nice voice but nothing special . Please find another career path because I can’t take anymore of this B.S . Can we get an artist with some substance ? This sounds like everybody else. Just because you can sing doesn’t mean you have star potential .

Alllright!!!! DALLAS TX up in this b!%^&. The song is cool though. Yall act like Bey and Rhianna are the only two singers in the game right. Expand your music catalogue people!

Interesting artist, song is not good enough though, too slow and lacks really good lyrics, decent song, if she ever gets signed she probably won’t blow, but she has a lot of potential. The music industry is nothing like it used to be. The last unknown person to blow up and sell records was Ciara, any artist that came after has not been marketed good enough. Soulja Boy did blow up, but of course he’s not really a rapper and will not have longevity. Lil’Mama, for example is a real talented rapper, but she wasn’t marketed good enough. When an artist comes out they should try to get as much publicity as possible. Whoever gets this girl, needs to have some good ideas for her.

She has a nice voice and she does sound like Beyonce to me. Just a lil bit, maybe Beyonce back in the day. Anyways…this song is slow as hell! She doesn’t even sound this dude found her spot lol. Idk it’s kinda average but she does have talent.

It took her way to long to start singing at the beginning.An the song is a little to slow the beat needs to be faster.But the lyrics and what she is taling about is good.The song sound like some thing Nieva would sing.On a scale of 1 through 5 Iwould rate this as a 3.

I was thinking the exact same thing. Seems like people just can’t leave B out of their mouths. And the thing is, I’m a Beyonce lover. But dang…can somebody else shine?!!?!!
Anyway, as for the song…
It is sooo easy to sing about sex. Can we please get something with a little more substance. Black people like more than just sex folks.

The song is ok.I would need to hear more.
If you all want to discuss Bee and Rihanna all day of your life log in to their fan site.They would love to have you.Beyonce’ sure was not trying anything new with The Lion from The Wiz, talk about trying something new.

I agree with 6!
Let’s not compare other talented singers to Beyonce.
Beyonce has a wonderfu voice we all know, but God has blessed others as well.
As for this song…its ok.

Sorry, but my first impression was a cross between Beyonce’ and Cherish. I didn’t even listen to all of the song but the start was so slow. Stay in school. Nothing really here that sets her apart — Agree @ 10 (9 of 10 Black folks can hold a tune!)

I am just a bit curious…Her profile was found on interracial dating site ‘blackcentury.com’ last week. I heard she just broke up with her boyfriend! I am wondering what kind of relationship she is looking for on that site!

No: 2 & 8 (to name but a few) What the hell has her hair or if she looks better than Bey or Rhi got to do with her singing or the song? Check the question… the question has got to do with her vocal talents and song, it’s not asking about her style/look

lol @ #7 - that’s no problemo - i’m one of the few posters that wouldn’t have taken it too personally anyway! but i’m not one to really bring up ms. carter that much, but for some reason when i heard that song it reminded me of her and the other day those ashanti pictures… but other that, i like the different artists that CL highlights and compliment them on their unique style. had she sounded like anita baker, i would have said, wow, she sounds like anita baker
but unforch she reminded me of beyaki.

#36 - check the post - i commented on both her sound and her looks. why? because there is a picture of her and because there was a clip of her music- DUH! It’s a blog.

I thought it was just me but I agree with #1. In some parts of the song I think she reaches for Beyonce. The girl has a voice on her and can sing, but the song was too slow. I got bored!

She looks great and she is a natural beatuty. I have seen some pictures on interracial loves . c o m looks like her very much–it is a niche interracial dating service. Maybe you want to check them.

Here we go again. First Rihanna, now this. Soon, we’ll have a whole brigade of little Beyonce clones. Geez! If you can’t sing without imitating then you shouldn’t be singing.

Wow. Couldn’t even listen to the song all the way through. Like everybody else said, it’s boring as hell. No doubt. Yea, she has an okay voice but it is very Nivea-ish. That’s cool though b/c I like Nivea and Lord knows her career is gone so somebody might as well take her place soundwise. LOL.
But yea. MAYBE if she got with the right people she might get a hit or two on the radio but it’s going to have to be pure magma to do anything. Whoever said you have to get the publicity BEFORE the album is totally right. Unknown singers don’t push units at all. You have to be an actor or somebody’s wife or have stripped on YouTube with one million hits for people to take notice these days.

Her voice is nice…The song is ok…but Im having a problem really getting into it because of the lyrics and the fact her voice sounds so young…I feel like im listening to a CHILD sing about sex…which isnt right.

She’s cute and has a nice voice but the song is weak, I would have to hear something else from her to see if she has star potential.
