♫ HOT OR NOT: STERLING SIMMS & THE DREAM
Monday, July 7, 2008

Sterling Simms, who has released a couple different singles in order to generate some buzz about his project has come out with a new song with hitmaker, The Dream. I’ve been getting quite a few e-mails about the new tune, so I’m assuming that Def Jam is really trying to put some promotion behind this. I think they believe that this song is “the one.”
Initially impressed with Sterling on Jay-Z’s “Dig A Whole” from Kingdom Come and his second single, “Nasty Girl,” Sterling hasn’t really been able to achieve the radio-friendly hit that he’s been looking for. Maybe this record with The Dream will get him to where he needs to be, because a lot of his material had leaked.
Check out Sterling on MySpace to get more information and listen to more music.

So is The Dream the new T-Pain now?
He’s been on a lot of singles so far.
And I’m not really feeling this Sterling guy. He blends in to the background …. nothing different, nothing special.

I was surprised to see his profile on \”((({ CA SUALS EE K. COM })))\” which is a dating site for short-time relationship seeker. He is welcome on that site.

Well, I’ve already heard Lloyd’s version being played on the radio. So yea, obviously somebody got cheated. But I definitely love Lloyd’s version more.

Not feeling the song at all. The Dream’s beat are starting to sound similar BUT this guy has a nice voice. I would like to hear more from him and hopefully he’ll impress me unlike this song.

I’m guessing Lloyd lost out on the track. His does sound better but Sterling needs a hit badly..

im sick of that “EY” ish
give it a rest already!!! singers have been playing it out for long enough it’s officially PLAyeD ugh lol the song would be so much better without it. We are too talented to be riding one little trend for as long as we have!
lol ugh come up with a new one already. I like the song but minus all the “EY’ parts, they over used it

It’s ok, sounds like other stuff I’ve heard before. I don’t like it enough to play it 2nd time and that’s not good. I hope he finds right song soon, because he can sing. Singing isn’t his problem, it’s the production.

THIS IS A GOOD SONG, AS FAR AS THE WRITING ; BUT LLOYD`S IS WAY BETTER. STERLING DOESN`T HAVE THE QUALITY VOICE FIT FOR THE SONG. HE CAN SING, YES , BUT HIS VOICE ISN`T FIT FOR THE SONG.
IF YOU WANNA HEAR LLOYD`S HERE IS THE YOUTUBE LINK

STERLING’S VERSION IS WAAAAAY BETTER!!!!! GET OFF LLOYDS DICK AND LISTEN TO BOTH RECORDS!!!!! LLOYD IS A GOOD SINGER AND A GOOD ARTIST BUT DON’T HATE ON STERLING BECAUSE HE IS A “NEW” ARTIST! “BED” WAS SUPPOSED TO BE STERLINGS RECORD! HAD THAT BEEN HIS RECORD ALL YOU HATERS WOULD BE SINGING A “DIFFERENT” TUNE! GIVE THE NIGGA A SHOT!!! HAVE YOUR OWN MIND AND MAKE YOUR OWN OPINION! I CAN RESPECT THAT! THE DICK EATING HAS TO STOP PEOPLE!!!! ITS 2008!!!!

Ya’ll niggaz trippin! Yeah aight both of them niggaz have a version, but if you tellin me Lloyd version better than this 1 I have to question ur integrity…Obviously ppl r familiar wit “homie” voice but judge the record for what it is, not what u think i should be. LOTS of artists have cut versions of ur favorite songs and if some of those records had been leaked u might not like Beyonce version, or Usher, Chris Brown etc. A hit record is a hit record, PERIOD. Support new artists and les keep this thing trill. I thought this was America people!!!!!

i was kinda expectting better especially from the dream but sterling simms aint that popular and this isn’ doing anything for him .I think his jump off song is 100 times better.
yeah n im definetly tired of the ‘ey’ .Every1 is usin that ,Rihanna ,lil wayne ,the dream .I’ve had enough already and i don’t think it was inconvenient for the song.

I like this song. I keep playing it over and over, and I think Sterling sang this song just right. Lloyd to me is a great singer but his version just sounded like a high school crush song or something but Sterling to me made it feel more Grown and Sexy. I dont know why but his voice sounds more manly than Lloyds and that fit the song better to me!!!!!!!!!!!! Hope Sterling gets it, or gets a better HIT!!!!!!!
