MUSIC NEWS: PREVIEW BEYONCE’S I AM… / KERI HILSON PUSHED BACK AGAIN / MARIO PREPS NEW ALBUM
Friday, November 7, 2008

Just a couple of weeks away from its release, the full version of Beyonce’s third studio, I Am… have surfaced on the internet. You can now preview the entire album. The double disc will drop November 18th, in two formats. One version will be a deluxe edition, with extra songs.
Beyonce co-wrote all the songs on I Am… with production from Rodney Jerkins, Mr. Bangladesh, Tricky Stewart & The Dream, Stargate, Amanda Ghost, and many more. The album, from what I gathered, is pretty impressive. I expected to love the Sasha Fierce side moreso than the Beyonce side of the album, but I was pleasantly surprised.
KERI HILSON PUSHED BACK AGAIN
Unfortunately, Billboard.com has reported that Keri Hilson’s debut album, In A Perfect World…, originally slated for September 23rd release, then pushed back to November, and then December 9th has been pushed back again, all the way to “early 2009.”
Keri, who just released a video for the Timbaland-produced second single, “Return the Favor” and recently just shot a video for her third single, the Lil’ Wayne-assisted “Turnin’ Me On,” has been writing for a while now, and had fans excited to finally get a glimpse of Keri as an artist for a while now, but it seems as though now we’re going to wait just a little while longer.
In A Perfect World… will contain productions from Timbaland, Polow Da Don, Royal Court as well as newcomer Cory Bold, with cameos from Lil’ Wayne, Timbaland, Tank, Akon and R. Kelly
“I didn’t want to do an album that painted me perfect,” she said. “What’s missing in music is just that: showing the vulnerable side of women, the real. Showing women you can be yourself. You don’t have to walk around like your sh*t doesn’t stink.”
Well, Keri… I hope to hear a solid release date sooner than later, because I don’t want her fans to start to get discouraged or lose interest.
MARIO PREPS NEW ALBUM

Mario is prepping and putting the finished touches on his upcoming fourth album, which is currently untitled. Mario mentioned before that he was working with a few producers to make a more cohesive effort, so he’s been in the studio with the likes of Rodney ‘Darkchild’ Jerkins, Tricky Stewart, Babyface, Stargate, Polow Da Don and KP Malay to bring you this new album.
Mario describes this album as the “most personal, colossal album of his career.” The album will drop at the top of 2009 via J. Records.

I love Beyonce, BUT the first half of the album I AM NOT FEELING. Maybe it’s just because I just heard it once, still I’m not sure. I have to hear it like 7 more times. I like the second half. DIVA is my 2nd favorite next to SINGLE LADIES. I’m still a fan and I know I will still buy her album. But I suggest Beyonce take a break. Have them babies for Jay Z. He getn old and she need some more life experience. I wanna hear more about her marriage and her life after (songs). Like how we saw Mary J. Blige grow and sing about her happiness. She needs to step it up. She raised the bar, now she needs to go beyond it. It reminds me of when Destiny Child first came out. We’re not 16 anymore, we are grown women now.

ahh one more thing,if i were beyonces advisor, i would tell her she should follow the more funk/rock/soul direction. i think that would be a style which would suit here better, than this pop theme, because it is kind of boring.
i want to hear something like the rock sound of tina turner and the funk of prince. that would be fresh and unique, since there is no female artist that pulls of this kinda style right now. just an idea.

beyonce’s album is beyond whack. the only decent song is “halo,” but that’s about it. if i were one of her fans, i’d be really embarrassed that she would even put out material like this.

Beyonce is wearing herself the fuck out, she’s gonna have a burn out pretty quick. She needs to settle down and maybe start a family, or something to get her off our backs. She talks about how she doesn’t wanna start having kids until her 30’s, thats cool i guess, if she wants her kids to have down-syndrome.
I love Mario, looking forward to his shit.

I swear I love Bey…she is dope in many ways…BUT i really wish i could shoot her an email right now and let her know im smarter than she thinks. OK first of all 11 TRACKS??? are u serious…why do u need two discs for 11 TRACKS??? and second of all I was SOOO EAGERLY anticipating this album but it falls shirt of my expectations. I didnt like “If I were a boy” but i vowed to buy the album bcz she is talented but i need her to come harder and show these bubble gum singers what a DIVA is. And Beyonce and Sasha just aint doing it for me right now…(SIGH)

Im lovin disc one! Satellites is beautiful. It should have been longer BEY! Damn it girl, four minutes at least. That song is exactly what im going through right now lol
Top 40 is going to eat this UP. I think she will officially cross over.
Both disc’s could have used better production, like all albums these days. Beyonce’s production was always SO detailed, but I think all these songs needed more dimension composition wise. They dont match her voice which is so clear. She is murdering the vocals, BIG TIME. She needs to work with some real instrumentalists on her next album to complement her voice better. Alicia Keys does it like no other.

And Keri, girl you better stay on that label cause that S&*(^ will never be out. Just like mya, lil mama, cheri dennis, all the rest of the good talent getting no shine. I would just start working on my next album lol
And Mario is so slept on. I like his voice 10X better than Neyo, Chris Brown, and Usher. He just has something different!
@ 160 There will be a deluxe edition with 9 tracks a piece on each disc. And Im sure she will RE-release the album sometime next year with more tracks after all the videos come out, cause she got it like that

I’m sorry this album is WEAK and we need to ADMIT IT. She should have taken some time off instead she release this MESS. The fans deserve better. Yes, her first week sells will do well but watch how fast it FALL. Beyonce could have done a couple of collaborations with Kelly or Michelle and remain on the scene. Instead, WE HAVE THIS MESS…:(

wow. some of yall really think beyonce is the reason why ciarra, brandy and kerri have been pushed back? oh let me guess, she’s the one holding back Chilli from TLC’s solo effort and that new Maya and Amarie too? LMAO, give me a break! These artists and/or their label’s don’t have faith in them and/or they think Beyonc’s project will be too great a force to reckon with-either way that’s no reason to hate on her. And if somebody mentions dusty ass Cheri Dennis one more time, LMAO—Bey must be doing something right to conjure up so much hate from random ass strangers…ask Mary, Rihanna, Alicia and Keyshia…Beyonce doesn’t have lock on female R&B you retards
and once again, LMAO at Cheri Dennis!!

I liked may 2 songs from this list…..Halo and Broken-hearted girl…….and I kinda like video phone………some of the other songs would definitely have to grow on me….to say this girl is so popular her albums are just so–so…..I guess it’s her performances and videos that make it better. As far as just listening to an album on a long drive out of town…..she gets no play from me!!!!!

Like Beyonce a little. VERY dissapointed in this record. The “Beyonce” side is listenable muzak and the “Sasha” side is just plain trash. Beyonce is talented and may ONE DAY achieve legendary status but this is not the record that will support that case. I think I actually liked “B-Day” better…..

to number 13, (MIKEL) is it? Well if you do not know Beyonce’s target market is gay men like number 15 (KM) NO OFFENSE…and gay women of the same kind with younger females in the age group of 30 on down. HER TARGET MARKET IS HER FANS POINT BLANK PERIOD. Although Beyonce is internationally known and known to rock the microphone; Mrs. Knowles Carter is gradually becoming a household name. Beyonce only thinks about one thing which is what my fans like and how to make more money off of them…beyonce does not need any more support from other genre loving music goers because sasha has her so called, “ride or die” crew AKA “the girls.” if Sasha does bad they will still love her if she does good they will still love her……if Mrs. fierce makes an album with songs on there that we all know is not her as an artistic beauty but as a money hungry “Sasha fierce” we all should know that the “BEE LOVER” is slowly but surely running out of honey. oh and of course Tina Knowles daughter Beyonce did not co write the whole album on either the deluxe edition as well. believe if you may i only laugh. Beyonce Knowles however, is a so called perfect artist and i absolutely love her work…I am just merely bias thats all… and when i see wrong and or right i acknowledge it and put people in their places… go listen to other artist such as Jazmine Sullivan if you want some soulful loving music. also, pic up some lean rhimes if you want country; hell Snoop tried it. listen to old school Mary J if you want to take it back, listen to Katy Perry if you just want to rock for a day, listen to Solange if it is like you already cant get enough of Beyonce or listen to Lil Kim for heavens sake if you want to hear really good cursing that actually makes since, (oh and she does not beat around the bush about how big her mans piece is) she keeps it real unlike “Ego” as if we already didnt know what B’ really ment by ” its too big its too wide it wont fit”….but you can always listen to some B” on her newly “leaked” or released albums if you simply couldnt make your mind up of what you want to listen to because we all know Sasha Fierce could not…….lol…..and yes number 15(KM) i am a fan…..just do not worship the girl that is all….i worship Lauryn hill……..If i were on the board of grammys i wouldnt even submit her as a nominee but just because she is Beyonce and i love her regardless of the mistakes that we humans make ill nominate her for 10 this time…love and happiness…

BEYONCE IS OVERATED…THE CD HAS SOME OK SONGS BUT OVERALL ITS WACK…THIS IS HER THIRD SOLO ALBUM AND SEVENTH ALBUM IF YOU INCLUDE DC…SHE HASNT GROWN A LICK…IF ANYTHING SHE HAS TAKEN SOME STEPS BACK…
ALSO, SHE KILLS ME WITH THE WHOLE CO-WROTE BIT…JUST CUZ U PAID FOR A SONG, CAHNGED SOME MELODIES, AND MAYBE A WORD HERE AND THERE DOESNT MAKE U A CO-WRITER, OR A SONG WRITER FOR THAT MATTER…ITS FUNNY HOW YOU ALWAYS KNOW WHAT SONGS BEYONCE HAS NOT WRITTEN AND THE ONES THAT SHE ACTUALLY MAY HAVE….SHES SO ELEMENTARY…

I think she’s pulling a Madonna and not releasing those actual tracks. Or at least I hope that’s what she’s doing. Don’t like most of what I heard. Sweet dreams leaked in April or May so I think she’s smarter than that…we’ll see though. I’m sure the final product will be good though.

I work worth Cirque Du Soleil and I think you should visit youtube.com/cirquelasvegas if you’re looking to step outside of the box and give a friend a ticket to the new Criss Angel Vegas show as a gift….It’s a performance piece called “Believe” that explores the mind of Criss Angel that he also co-wrote…

Bey’s latest album is definitely an improvement from B’Day. Some will say it’s a bit ‘mish-mash’, but I say good on her for making an effort to get out of the box of Pop RnB…she said she wanted to be iconic, and no longer a Pop Star. I think this album helps, although not completely.
My favourite tracks, from the ones that have leaked are ‘Halo’, ‘Disappear’ & ‘Ave Maria’. All from the ‘I AM…’ Disc. The ‘SASHA FIERCE’ disc have a few odd songs, that have grown on me, the past couple of days. ‘Radio’ and ‘Diva’ a quite cool. ‘Video Phone’ however is quite lackluster.
Beyonce co-wrote all of the songs on the album, and not all the words are exactly the same as BC Jean’s original version of ‘If I Were A Boy’…things like this happen in this industry…it’s normal.
Yes, Beyonce is very commercial in her approach and her song choices, but why do people complain when it’s Beyonce…her originality may not be the best, she is a very easily-inspired artist lol…
There are a million artists out there, who are very commercial, and they have to be if they want to stay in this industry…it’s game. =]
I Love Keri Hilson. Such a beautiful woman. I can’t wait for her album to drop…I think she’ll be successful, so long as Timbaland stays by her side…with that said, she has come a long way…wish her the best.

Horrid. Beyonce is trying her best to sound deep, mature and different when all it sounds like is she is singing songs meant for other people. The sad thing is is people with very limited idea of what music could be is going to think she is ‘growing’ and ‘evolving’ when all she is doing is peddling wack ass music.

Wow, i didn’t know her whole album leaked….
I listened to the songs posted here, OMG, it’s worse than i thought. Same juvenile lyrics, diva antics on the tracks (all the while claiming to be humble, where reality shows you there’s not one humble bone in her body, it’s all a game).
Every last song is GARBAGE, just straight garbage, and the only reason someone would not call it garbage is because she is singing the songs….if a rookie singer put them songs on a demo, they would get laughed out the studio.
People just need to admit and realize and come to grips with the fact that beyonce’s day is over. She’s repeating the same crap music, with lil girl lyrics, something teenagers can identify with, instead of grown women. IT’S LIKE SHE NEVER GREW UP…We grew up listening to her, and it’s like we all grew up, and she didn’t and just stayed right where she was.
Beyonce is delusional….she thinks she’s on the same status as Michael Jackson. Complete lunacy!
These songs are terrible! Just terrible! This time around she looks crazy, confused, desperate, and corny as hell.

Beyonce’s biggest problem is her fans. You mofo’s are crazy.
Why is it so hard to understand, that there are people in this world who don’t find her impressive - no matter how many albums she sells, concerts she has or magazines cover’s she’s on. Why is it not possible for you to say you enjoy her album without having to put down every other artist or people who are not fans? You make it hard to even like her, because it’s almost the equivalent of joining some kid of cult. It is possible to like Beyonce, as I do, but also give my honest opinion of her music. Doing so does not make me a hater, it makes me sain. Some of you guys outta try that.
Now on to the post….
I listened to the album and the only song that has grown on me is Halo. I like the vocal techniques she uses in some of the other songs, but overall the album is as impressive as I was suspecting, considering all of the hype around it. I think the alter ego thing is very stupid, played out. I think the last person to do that successfully was Eminen/Slim Shady/Marshal Mathers and even then, it just comes off as very self absorbed. The songs on the Beyonce side sound very generic and the appear to be deep, but when you listed to them they’re really not. The Sasha side, just sounds like noise. I know Beyonce prides herself on writing songs for women, but IMO, any level headed, intelligent, self respecting young woman would have evolved past her songs years ago. If I Were a Boy sounds like something Miley Cyrus should be singing and Diva is just an anthem for hoodrats. Ave Maria is a pretty song and I like the production and Melody on Video Phone. For some reason that song reminds of Santagold.

And i really wish people would stop bringing up the fact that a black man is now president and comparing that to people’s opinions on here of beyonce. Beyonce is just a ghetto ass, fat ass, childish minded, country talking, fake ass, master of illusion, lying, stealing, delusional, wack ass, swagger jacking, woman.
If anything, the fact that we now have a black president should actually make us more sensitive to listening to crap, and worshipping people like beyonce. She is not worthy of worship. She is confused! She wants to be looked at as wholesome and slutty at the same time. She wants to be admired for being deep, yet everything she puts out is shallow.
Beyonce is wealthy because there are alot of low self esteem people in the world who worship her simply because of her money and fame. People want to feel empowered, and they feel beyonce is very powerful because of what she has, her line of work, her endless money, and because so many woman and men look at her as if she’s the second coming. So many people on here got no money, no man, get no respect, and they look at beyonce and think she has it all. Because of this, and this alone, she made millions.
She’s not a good role model, and if i had a daughter, i would be horrified if they wanted to follow in her footsteps. I don’t want to see my daughter on stage poppin and gyrating for money, entertaining people like a show monkey. Now some people wouldn’t agree, cause for them it’s all about the money, so of course, if their daughter had to get on stage and wear next to nothing for money, so be it.
The worship on here is scary and pathetic at the same time cause it shows the mentality of most on here.

It kills me that people got to break down a song and interpret (as if they were the person who actually wrote it) and defend the actions of a person they don’t even know.
You can tell people on here don’t like any of these songs, and the ones saying they like one particular song sound like they had to listen over and over to “try” to like the song. What the hell!
Bottom line, anyone that buys this cd gotta be a die hard fan of beyonces, like some people on here have demonstrated via words and arguments, or you gotta be straight crazy outta yo skull……this music is pure diarrhea.

I’m with whoever said its garbage, I TOTALLY AGREE!!!
She is incapable of anything of any depth or true meaning. She’s a fake and a phony and definitely not a real artist. Nowhere near an Icon or a legend, the only thing she’ll be a legend for is for marrying Jay z and having a break down before she turns 30 because this cd is about to flop hard. Stans are the only ones into it. Real peeps do not have money to burn on a garbage cd and this is one. whoever was threatening to boycott? no need for that because this cd is going straight down the toilet with the rest of the shitt. lol The economy is too damn bad to waste money on this shitt!!!

the beyonce side reminds me of that song resentment off of b’day, and i thought that it was good that she only did one song like that. the constant little plinky pianos and guitars is annoying imo. and the sasha fierce side is some serious hood rat mess. she definitely picked the right song for her single. i love single ladies, and i wish that the rest of sasha fierce was more like it. as for the beyonce side, im not mad at her for taking a risk, im just not pleased with it. her voice has obviously grown, but i dont think her lyrics have.part of her fan base has grown up and if she wants to maintain her broad fan base, she needs to try again. this isnt the bey we know and love, and i hope she realizes that. she says she wants to be iconic and be a legend, but i dont think she’ll be remembered for this album. its going to be her singles like crazy in love, irreplaceable, and probably a couple from her dc days.

I previewed the album on another site. It only had 30 sec snippets, but for most of us that’s all we need to know if we like it or not.
Only Halo was good. However, I don’t think it’s as strong or as good as Irreplaceable. Unless some of you forget, B’Day was not selling that hot. Yeah, the first week they had her at over 500K, but for those of us who have some knowledge of the music industry we know that they count presells with the total. B’Day presells were from July until her birthday release which is also my birthday, but I’m older…….hahahahah. I digress. If an album is out for 2 whole months with someone like Beyonce of course it’s going to sell 500K. But if you look at the bigger pix, it took her 2 whole months to sell that.
The album went on to sell 3 million. This is Beyonce and 3 mill ain’t jack for an artist of her caliber. DC did better than 3 mill. B’Day did worse than DIL. Yet, Irreplaceable saved that crappy album. Halo is a good song so is If I Were A Boy. I like BC Jean’s version better. IMO, there isn’t another song on that 2 disc CD to put it over the top.
Like others have stated, it will sell. She does have her fan base, but again IMO it won’t do as good as DIL. That was her best album and still is.

Keri-I’m not surprised her album would be pushed back. Energy and the other song aren’t great. Those songs are generic. She’s got to come out with something odd yet exciting. People won’t be interested if her songs sound like everything else.I’m still rooting for, because she has talent and is working hard to make a name for herself. Hopefully she can pull it off.
Mario-His last album was alright, not bad. He can actually sing, and can do well if given the right songs. Best of luck to him.
Beyonce -The only songs I like on the album are Sweet Dreams and Halo so I won’t be buying it. She claims her sound has grown and evolved, but I don’t hear it. I could not seriously bump any of the other songs of the album on the regular. Diva is cocky. I thought she was all about humility. What was she thinking with Video Phone? That song is too risque. I get that upbeat songs are about having fun, but she’s too grown to be singing a song like that. . She doesn’t have to sound like a prude at her age of course, but she shouldn’t sound like a promiscous juvenile either. Last but not least the word hater will eventually be retired along with bling. People misuse the term so much it’s becoming played. It’s evident in here particualrly that people are acting brand new like they don’t know the difference, only when it comes to Beyonce. If something is not pleasing to your ears, why lie to yourself and act like it’s hot for fear of being attacked on a blog? It makes no sense. Also, some of you all need to get off your soap box. I notice the same screen names criticizing other celebs, but acting like Beyonce is exempt from critique. If someone is not feeling something from whomever, they have a right to say so. Various opinions are what blogs are about, not being mindless robots.

PLUS JUST DISMISS YOUR FOOLISHNESS, ACCORDING RECORD STORE RETAILERS,BEYONCE SOLD 200,000 COPIES IT’S FIRST DAY RELEASE. YOU CAN TRY AND SPIN IT ALL YOU WANT,BOTTOM LINE SHE WENT GOLD IN 1 WEEK AND NIELSEN SONDSCAN BACK THAT FACT.

I actually love the Beyonce part of the double album. I only like Radio, Sweet Dreams, and Diva on the Sasha part. When she says she “co-wrote” all the songs that doesn’t mean she wrote the whole song, she just may have tweaked it a bit to suit her more….all artists do it…she’s just smart enough to get credit for it…

One of the issues I have with the “I Am…” theme of this album is that Beyonce looks the same for both personas. “I Am Beyonce” looks like Beyonce without makeup, and “I Am Sasha Fierce” looks like Beyonce with makeup. If Beyonce wanted to show her dichotomy, she should have shown “I Am Beyonce” with her natural hair, curled up in bed with a book and a dog at her feet (you get the message). She should have shown a distinct difference in both persons.
Secondly, a person has to naturally have depth and soul in his or her voice; you cannot force or fake it. Beyonce, tries to sing and act deep; however, her soul is not quite there yet. For some, they have to go through romantic hurt or family tragedy to deepen their soul. Hopefully, Beyonce can find her true soul without having to go through these experiences.
Last, Beyonce’s rendition of “At Last” does not sound like a blues song. Even though one may argue that Beyonce’s voice is more technically sound that Etta’s, Etta’s voice is deepened with the blues; therefore, Beyonce cannot touch, reach or imitate Etta’s signature version. She needs to make a blues song sound like the blues.
I would suggest that Beyonce doesn’t try so hard at reinventing herself for the sole purpose of trying something knew. She should let her soul tell her what to do.

Beyonce album is hot I love dissapear, Halo, and Video Phone
Keri Hilson is a dissapoint meant she has two big producers(timbaland and polow da done by her side and the best she can do is churn out water down songs. Best Of luck to her.
Can’t wait for the new Mario he’s only 22 still got along way to go with his music career. I think 2009 will be his breakout year all the music that has dropped from him has been extremely hot so far. Go MARIO!
