  8. ItsMe

    I like it. I can jam to that. I can’t wait to hear what else she’s going to bring. I’m about to go check out some other upcoming singers. Let me go check myspace and see if Krystal Brooke posted up some new songs lately.

  9. slim

    i like her! the song is Ok…real cute…she has real talent tho!!

  10. oneofakind

    this song is just generic to me….her voice is pretty so hopefully she has better songs on the album.

  11. leslie arnelle

    Sounds good..pretty girl with a good voice…I heard this song this week on MTV or VH1 during a commercial.

  12. CAMILLESTARR

    Those DeBarge’s are some good looking folks. Shout out to TVOne for showcasing DeBarge on “UnSung”- that’s where I first saw Kristinia. Now if only DeBarge would do a reunion:) One of my fave groups of all time.

  13. bryant

    co-sign with ONE OF A KIND.. pretty generic. But her voice is good and she is pretty.

  14. NO ID

    well, she can sing…but that chorus is soooooooooo overdone….

  15. bobby

    i like it shes really good guess im a new fan

  16. I like this, very catchy. Let me find out if this is Janet’s dau…..

  17. Supreme

    This sounds like a song that already came out
    am i trippin…
    nice voice

  18. peacekeeper

    It’s a fun song for the kids, but it sounds like a lot of other stuff that out.

  19. jazzy

    I attended a showcase for this girl for work and she had a great personality and she can really sing!

  20. IMPOTENT_MAN

    She sounds like she can definitely sing, but I’m so sick and tried of this style of singing.

  21. SassyT

    I heard this song a while back, and I’m not feeling it. It’s definitely a song for the younger generation. I grew up listening to DeBarge; actually I knew about them before they hit the L.A. scene via a girl in high school whose sister dated Phillip Ingram of the group, Switch (two DeBarge brothers (Bobby and Tommy) were members of the group).

    Kristinia is a very pretty girl, and I’m sure she’ll go far because she has the look, but an okay voice in my opinion.

  22. pring

    WACK!!!!
    JESSICA JARRELL “ARMAGEDDON” IS 100000000000000000000X BETTER THAN THIS CORNY POP SONG. WTF? ANYTHING IS A HIT THESE DAYS. THIS SONG IS JUST PLAIN GARBAGE. ONLY IN AMERICA.

  23. ME

    It’s ok. It’s catchy but I’d like to hear another song before I decide how I feel about her….

  24. Preston

    i think the song is cool i live in Nyc and they are playing this song all the time on Z100,,it’s really a hit here in New York.

  25. 231

    @ pring

    I just listened to Jessica Jarrell’s “ARMAGEDDON”, it’s sounds just like a “CORNY POP SONG”. She has a cool voice but the song was just okay. There’s obviously a formula that record execs stick to for new artist don’t go blaming it on America lol

    David Hasslehoff sold and had hit records in Germany at least were not that bad lmao!

  26. Focused1

    I like her voice. She’s got crisp vocals, but the song is just aight to me. Babyface is behind her so I think her album will turn out to be be pretty good. That man is musical genius, so I’ll give her album a listen when it drops.

    @17 LOL. I just knew someone was gonna bring that up. Let’s be real here, if you didn’t know her last name was DeBarge you wouldn’t even be thinking that. She doesn’t have any of the Jacksons’ features and everybody knows they have strong genes including the biracial kids (i.e. 3T ; Jermaine’s kids). I also read that she’s only 19 and during that time (’89, ’90) Janet had cranked out 7 music videos and a tour for the Rhythm Nation album so she obviously isn’t her child.

  27. why

    I do not like the song. She is remixing a classic to some high school bs. Why do people insist on remixing classics. I do not comment on postings but this one I just had to. Please leave the classics alone.

  28. a

    IM NOT REALLY FEELLIN THE SONG BUT SHE HAS A NICE VOICE AND SHE IS BEAUTIFUL!

  29. My

    You forgot to mention that Adonis wrote it ;)

  30. Mrs. Sk8board P (AK & BK STAN)

    pretty girl, great voice..whack song IMO..

    and number 3..um that’s far from R&B

  31. Cynthinia

    She can sing…the song is Ok, sounds like Britney’s “Womanizer”…some cookie cutter Pop…unfortunately, we aren’t buying enough music to make music that caters to R&B and Hip Hop…I don’t blame artists and producers for trying to attract a wider audience…otherwise, they will get dropped…I wish her the best, especially, after seeing the documentary on her family…many have paid dues for her to be on the scene…but, I still wonder…is this Janet’s daughter, she does resemble her…one never knows…

  32. Bobby Jimmy

    FOR THOSE YOU WONDERING THIS IS NOT JANETS DAUGHTER. HOW DO I KNOW? I KNOW HER AND HER MOMS, AND HER DAD.

  33. becca

    she comes from a long line of talent, so we know what to expect. this song is cute – very mainstream.

    the debarges have always been GREAT songwriters!

  34. Ash Bash

    I was wondering who sung this. The radio is playing it out here..

  35. pring

    @27
    ITS MUCH BETTER THAN THIS CRAPPY HORRIFIC “GOODBYE” SONG FOR SURE!

  36. MAI03

    I think it’s a cute song and yes it is geared towards the teen & tweens but i mean, she is only 19.

    I think she is beautiful & has a nice voice and I can see her having a bright future ahead of her. it’s cute how she played on the old classic Na Na Na Na Hey Hey Hey Goodbye. Cute.

    She comes from a talented family so it’s no surprise that she can blow!

  37. tandalaya

    James is not a founding member of DeBarge. Former active family participant, but not a founder.

  38. Ralph

    I like the song but I am the only one that thinks it sounds like Rihanna should be singing this song. It sounds like something Rihanna would do.

  39. Mel

    The song is corny but it will appeal to the younger audience n those are the ones who will buy her music.

  40. YO YO

    I love this song. I had a feeling she was one of debarge kids. Nice voice.

  41. MRSJONES

    @RALPH

    every pop sounding song is not something rihanna should sing. She did not come up with this type of music it’s been out since the 90′s (techno-pop) so anybody else that wants to sing it is allowed to.

    anywhoo, i first heard this song months ago, and they play it on a “NIVEA” skincare commercial. It’s not bad, but I think i’m a lil too grown (22) for this to buy her album. wish her luck though!

  42. Dizzy Guy

    I mean does anyone write real songs anymore. You write all those lyrics and than take someone elses melody” Na Na Na Na Hey Hey Hey Goodbye” Its no better than Nelly doing “Down Down Baby”. This is just coonery at its finest.

    I am not a huge fan of Keri Hilson but the sista can write. But I guess thats what you have to do to get somewhere look at Beyonce with stealing “If I were a boy” and “Smash Into You”.

    I am so sick of this. She will be a one hit wonder like Paula DeAnda, Cassie, etc..

  43. la_verite

    I can tell she can actually sing, which is a plus, but I don’t like the song. Then again, I’m not a huge fan of cookie-cutter pop songs.

  44. DisIsYImHot

    This is hot! I love the fact that they are making her a cross-over artist from the start. They were hoping to have the same success in the 80′s with her father and his siblings, but drugs and family demons took over. I hope she takes the pop industry by storm. Not only because she is talented, but because the Debarge Family has had enough casulties to this music business. Good Luck Sistah!

  45. Kay Kay

    Sounds just okay. She is pretty. Isn’t she the one that was rumored to be Janet and James’ daughter?

  46. MrB

    Im glade she finially is coming out…she got the soul of her father, aunts and uncles! She can really sing…This song isnt nothing compared to what she really can do!!

  47. Lil CiCi

    @ 44 such an ignorant comment for a dumb fuck. stop hatin on this girl. hell i see a bright future for her career. she comes from a family that has talent. by doing the right promotion and marketing her right in the music industry by DEF JAM i’m sure she will be fine. i see u Kristinia and lookin forward 4 her debut!!!

  48. rayne

    I heard this on the radio and wondered who this was. I thought it was Christana Milian or somebody. But I like the lyrics and its a cute song. I can tell she has skills and she just might go far.

  49. hood_shit

    Her dad, Def Jam, Babyface, The Pentagon, and the artist are all in TIME OUT for this bullshit!

  50. CREAMY

    i LOOKED UP THIS SONG (BY THE LYRICS, CUZ I DIDN’T KNOW WHO WAS SINGING) SINCE THE FIRST TIME I HEARD IT, WHICH WAS ON “THE HILLS”…. THEN THEY PUT IT IN THAT NIVEA COMMERCIAL… I LIKE IT! OF COURSE, IT’S GEARED TOWARDS THE TEENS, BUT WHY NOT? SHE IS 19.

    HER VOICE IS POWERFUL TOO, SO EVEN THO THIS IS COOKIE-CUTTER, AT LEAST WE KNOWWWW SHE CAN SING. I SAY, IF U HAVE TALENT, YOU’RE THE ONE WHO BELONGS IN THIS BUSINESS & NOT THE TRASH THAT’S CURRENTLY OUT RIGHT NOW.

  51. lilkunta

    Her song is #30? that is good 4 her, especially 4 a debut.
    But I aint never heard it..

    What happened to Karina Pasian?

  52. Diamond_101

    At last, a pretty girl that can sing!

  53. MiSSSEXY

    It’s got a “Rihanna-ish” kinda sound to it….She kinda sounds like a mix of britney spears and rihanna….

    seriously…

    It’s an OK song.

  54. tina

    I heard this song yesterday, and I live in Cleveland. Cleveland doesn’t give anyone holla. I hope that she sees alot of good things happening for her. I wish you well girl

  55. Mix

    She sounds cute…I agree it’s very Rihanna-ish…at times it sounds just like SOS Rescue Me. But she has the look and sound so I expect to hear alot from her.

  56. Beatriz

    Like the song its a qood song
    :D

  57. Hot Damn!

    ain’t she janet jacksons daughter?????
