♫ NEW MUSIC: KEYSHIA COLE FEAT. LIL’ WAYNE - “I LOVE YOU”
Monday, December 8, 2008

The date for Keyshia Cole’s release of her new album, A Different Me draws closer and closer. She and fan-favorite Lil’ Wayne took a stab at covering Mary J. Blige’s 1994 hit, “I Love You.”
Personally, I’m not really digging this at all. Keyshia sounds a little off on this track to me (kind of like her National Anthem performance this weekend). It’s definitely not her best performance vocally. Something about the track just sounds a really sloppy to me. From what I’ve heard so far, I have really liked the material that I’ve heard from Keyshia’s third studio album, which drops next week, on the 16th. I’m glad she decided to just put this out for the fans.

I’ll be the first to admit Mary is not the greatest singer of all times. BUT, no one sings with as much conviction, soul, and passion as she does. With this track all the Keyshia and Mary comparisons should come to a screeching stop!! There is and will only be one MARY!!!!

wow i have to agree with #8. i always thought Key was the next Mary, but after this i see thats not even a possibility. Although Mary is no whitney, she has a voice that can’t be duplicated.

I listened to this song twice and i think she should NOT have done that song over… her voice over that beat was definitely not the look … if I was Mary I would have cleared that song… and I dont know about everybody else but Wayne is starting to be a little MUCH…

@ 9 - SHANIQUEOBAMA:
I agree that Keyshia looked waaaaaaay better before she had the gap fixed. I understand wanting to have a perfect smile but SOMETIMES those little imperfections actually look cute I think. For example, Nas looked fine with the chipped tooth (as does Fabolous) and Shemar Moore (Criminal Minds) doesn’t look right since he had his teeth done. He could have just had the bottom teeth straightened (because they did look like piano keys) but doing his WHOLE mouth was too much I think. (IMHO)

@ #9 I agree hunny I think she looked prettier with her old teeth everybody wasn’t born with perfect teeth (Im one of them people) but because she got money people feel they have to be “perfect” whatever… anywhoo this is one of my fav MJB joints ever and Keisha was Dead as Wrong for this… I wonder what Mary think of this mess……

SHE’S STILL GREAT THO…OH AND HER BODY IS LOOKING FAB TOO! GO KC

After I have listen to the song a second time, I’m really upset that she did this. If I was Mary I would be pissed!! This was a classic song of the “My Life” album. SMH

I THINK THE REASON PEOPLE ARE ALWAYS COMPARING KEYSHIA COLE TO MARY J IS BECAUSE THEY BOTH HAVE SIMILAR BACKGROUNDS WHERE THEY COME FROM AND WHAT THEY WENT THREW BAD RELATIOSHIP, TRIALS, AND ETC. BUT I THINK KEYSHIA IS ACTUALLY TRYING TO SHY AWAY FROM THE FACT THAT SHE IS IN MARY’S SHADOW AND PERSONALLY I DON’T BLAME HER, ON HER 2ND CD JUST LIKE YOU WAS THE SONG THAT I THINK SHE WAS TRYING TO LET PEOPLE KNOW THAT SHE IS JUST TRYING TO BE HERSELF AND LIVE HER LIFE, AND THAT SHE IS NOT TRYING TO BE LIKE MARY. MARY PAVED THE WAY FOR SINGERS LIKE KEYSHIA BUT ALL IN ALL PEOPLE NEED TO RESPECT THE FACT THAT KEYSHIA NEEDS HER TIME TO SHINE TOO, AND THAT WE ALL KNOW THAT SOMEONE IS GOING TO COME AND STEAL THE SPOTLIGHT.
I DO RESPECT THAT KEYSHIA COLE MAKES HER OWN SONGS SHE MAY HAVE A FEW THAT IS SOMEONE ELSES BUT ATLEAST SHE STAYS ORIGINAL, IN MARY’S PRIME SHE BORROWED SO MANY OTHER ARTISTS SONGS THAT IT WAS PATHETIC, I MEAN I LOVE AND RESPECT MARY AS AN ARTIST BUT HEY LET THE TRUTH BE TOLD NOW.

LMFAO! OMG! I can’t stop laughing at Keishia’s pic she is cheesing hard as hell! I’m at work too OHH SHYT I’m about to get fired from laughing so hard. OHH I can’t stand this girl! She can’t sing for shyt! Anybody can go in the studio, make a song, and have their voices Tweaked to sound good and thats what they did and doing with her! She can’t sing live at ALL………please she needs to go away and visit a VERY PROFESSIONAL Vocal Coach and get her shyt together! She played herself the other night before the boxing match when she sung the National Anthem with her Great Grandmothers from the 70’s wig and alfit! She was all over the place when she was singing the N.A.! OMG! Stop this girl! She makes Cassie sound like Whitney Houston! LOL!

First off…i LOVE keyshia cole…shes so beautiful and talented..and yea HOOD, she just is the perfect example of pulling a girl off the streets and handing her a mic. We have watched her grow on her own instead of being “trained” and being told what 2 say, wear etc…
I loooovee the orginal version by MJB…ps My Life :CLASSIC…but i have to agree with #7…it doesnt sound bad..but it does sound like it hasnt been mastered yet. Lil wayne is throwin me off. Im kinda tired of him. Im lovin her album (the snippets n e way).

When I heard Keyshia Cole was re-recording this I was so anxious to hear it.Now it’s finally here. I donno, of course im gonna keep listening to it but its not wat i expected. I LOVE YOU is my favorite song by Mary J. Blige for the melodies and the beat. this song has too much hip hop going on. I LOVE YOU was one of those songs where Mary didnt do too much, it was calm and you could feel it. I cant feel this but i love Keyshia Cole and cant wait 2 get the album next week.

I have to agree with posting #8 as well!! I like Keyshia and all but this was one of those classic records that should have been left alone!! I see where they were trying to go from a marketing aspect but I don’t think it worked out too well. I hope the rest of the album is better than this and the other single b/c I realy like her and would like to see her go far as an artist.

I don’t care for these promo pics…I hate the one y’all got posted on this topic…I tried to like her version of ” I love you” but her voice is just cracking too much and only Mary can do that song over…I’M SORRY, AND I LOVE KEYSHIA, BUT NO MA’AM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I think she should do “Mary’s Joint” over

i said it once last week and got verbally attacked but im still gone say it again this week. keisha cole cant sing.just like i been saying anyone can get a deal now and days when they got this super cool technology tweeking everybody voices.then when they charge us $25-$50 dollars to see them live we find out the horrible truth..they cant damn sing!!!!!! mary aint no better than keisha.they both make good music we can relate to.but they dont have the voices live that matches the ones on them cds. keisha definitely need a good vocal coach,cause im still trippin off homegirl from her performance at the bet awards.

Well I’ll tell you this:
It sounds a whole lot better than the National Anthem she sang the other night. Cuz that was a HOT MESS!!
But the song does sound like it’s not finished.
61.
OMG WHAT A MESS
Monday, December 8, 2008 /
Keyshia Cole is extremely pitchy. some of the adlibs and chorus lines don’t match the key of the song. Who ever produced mixed or mastered this has no ear for music. Keyshia needs to stick with people like Ron Fair who can tell her if a notes is off key. Because we can see and hear that this chick is always lost. esp. Live!
Oh and side note am i the only one tired of Lil’ Wayne and his rhymes that don’t make a bit of sense? Our society has truly fallen into a depression when this is what we call the best rapper alive?

Some songs you just can’t remake unless you bring that fire and really make it your own and this is one of them. This was not good at all. I also don’t see why people are still using Lil Wayne for features. It’s not like he can gurantee a hit for real and it’s becoming tired. He was good at first, but when he started to spread himself so thin on everybody else’s work, the quality he had as a rapper went way down.

I had to listen to the original to cleanse my ears, Mary should not have allowed this and only could’ve to make Ms Cole look like a fool. In the pictur she looks like Jada pinket-Smith’s brother in drag

I’m ready for this broad’s 15 minutes to be over with already. She’s not humble worth a darn and she’s not even talented. Go get the polyps out of your nose and grow a voice. She proclaims that she’s done all of this and everything is because of her. She doesn’t even recognize her blessings. What an arrogant idiot. And her attitude stinks to all be damned. I don’t like this child at all. Her mother is STILL on drugs bringing home 30 year old guys. Come on now, what guy in his right mind would date her except for another loser. Her sister needs to recognize that they’re on tv and try to keep herself looking decent. And get a job while she’s at it. Having a bunch of babies and not doing anything for herself. They are ghetto fabulous at its worst.

am not feeling this at all. im a big Mary fan and the my life album should not be duplicated. i have only heard one remake of mary’s song my life by yamama’nym and it sounded really good. i think keyshia need to stay away from mary remakes and keep it moving anutha direction

humm.. I love this track when Mary did it!, Keysh’s version could have been good, but it was just lacking a little. She should Redo the vocals and really focus or somethin.. I don’t know. nevertheless.. still love Ms.Cole!
