@ 3 It do sound like her other song “T-Shirt”. Its jst the beat basically. @ 6 its not all that serious. Shontelle is gonna shine on her own regardless ok.! Ugh.The video is pretty cool, could have been better, but heyy…im not the directer.

11.

Sunday, June 28, 2009 /

The reason why they said she’s friend’s with Rihanna is because Shontelle herself said she’s friends w/her and she was talking about the situation with Rihanna or whatever.
More like Shontelle brought Ri up.

She’s bringing nothing new, nothing refreshing, nothing unique. The world will not be lost if weren’t blessed with her singing…so my verdict is she can sit her azz down somewhere…..I know it’s fair to give each individual a chance, but honestly, just cause you can sing don’t make you a singer…you gotta have something unique, a unique sound, or come with a unique something, this chick is giving me nothing, probably other than the the fact that she’s been able to work her way up to some big names in the industry and they trying to help her out….will that make me go out and buy her music, HELL NO…she can surround herself and be friends with the biggest names, i could careless!

Sorry, but i’m just so disenchanted with all the best artists either not selling or deceased, and all the bullshyt is just flying off the shelves….I hate the direction music have gone in, in the last 8 years…mostly a bunch of garbage.

Shontelle opened for Beyonce? Well then, looks like I like her..lol..

I HONESTLY don’t feel like watching this so..um..I’m going to have to past. I played if for 5 seconds and kept dragging the “thing” across the screen and I concluded that the song sounds OKAY, the video looks OKAY and she is PRETTY. That = UNORIGINAL!

The beat is ok. The lyrics I like most. My brother used to get his lunch money taken for a while when he was in grade school. I had to holla at thise kids for him. Conversation and a talk with that kids brother worked. Bother finally learned how to take care of himself. Big Sis!

KEEP IT 100!!!!!!!

Sunday, June 28, 2009 /

@JSCENE, I still stand by what I said, but I 100% agree with you.

#16, when it comes 2 90’s music……….you & me both hunny. I’m witchu on that one.

Yeah it’s okay, not amazing, but it’s nice.

I must admit her voice is 10x better than Rihanna’s. Plus she seems to have more charisma than Rihanna also.

@ 21 …I seriously disagree Shontelle having more charisma than Rihanna….Shontelle can sing and is kinda cute but she is lacking personality and charisma to make it real BIG. Theres nothing to her thats interesting its all Blah to me.

Funny to me how ppl are trying to take cheap shots at Rihanna when One Rihanna is not a horrible singer.

Like Your saying shes a better singer based off a video NOT a live Performance…Seriously lol They just really dont lke Rihanna.

they need to show Rihanna the respect she deserves for all shes accomplished..she aint do sh*t to yall!

27.

Shes good nice voice cool song I see why she opened up for Beyonce but she should have showed a little Sasha Fierceness in the scenes where shes wearing the army hat I mean at least did some strong posing.

PRETI GAL!

Sunday, June 28, 2009 /

mmmm! the people always said that she is 23 years old… nop nop nop… she is more older than that… i remember that i visited her myspace around 2006 and i saw that she was 24……. 23 … but she is around 27 years old

31.

Its Britney b*&^%

Sunday, June 28, 2009 /

The song was nice and catchy but I’m soo SICK of how this girl’s career is based on being a bootlegged cheap imitation of Rihanna. She looks like Rihanna’s uglier sister, sounds exactly like her but lacks Rihanna’s swagger and charisma, thus making her extremely boring. I just wish artists had the guts to tell their labels NO, i.e “no i’m not going to sing bootlegged rihanna songs just because she’s on a break.”

However Shontelle is doing okay in the UK (well in london) one of her songs got qute a bit of airplay when i was last in london, but i haven’t heard them play her stuff anywhere else. The fact that her career is based on filling the temporary void of Rihanna just means that when Ri comes back, Shontelle’s 10 minutes of fame will be up.

32.

Preston

People keep on Sleeping in Shontelle, her last album was okay but she needs to go hard with her next album her label needs to get the top song writers and and beat makers , she will be successful I’m sure of it.

This girl has a better voice
More charismatic, probably more of a personality aswell

37.

Ami

This is crap. I like the title and the idea behind the song. She seems too old to be trying to pull this sound off, it just doesn’t fit. And why do they have the lil girl fighting for the boy now. That lil dude should have still tall for his darn self. So they start their emasculation scheme early. Smh, BS.

38.

backingbarack

Sunday, June 28, 2009 /

um i think one rihanna is enough. whoever she is signed too is def trying to go for the same style in songs and clothes. she looks just like her and ciara put together. very masculine.

can anyone from barbados dance? the weave is tired. the clothes are tired and the song is even more tired.

shontelle is def riding the whole rihanna wave and all bc its ur friend, do something different

WACK!!!!!

This song is a little old…I’ve had it on my IPod for awhile..but I love the song.

During the campaign season the Obama camp actually picked up this song and made it apart of their campaign and she did a video for the Obama campaign with this song, it’s on YouTube.

48.

LOL

Monday, June 29, 2009 /

JUST STOP. SHE LOOKS NOTHING LIKE RIHANNA!

YOU ARE ONLY SAYING THIS BECAUSE SHE IS FROM BARBADOS!

SHE WISHES SHE LOOKED LIKE RIHANNA!

SHE COULD FALL OFF THE FACE OF THE EARTH AND NO ONE WOULD MISS HER MUSIC AT ALL!

BLACK MUSIC IS OFFICIALLY DEAD NOW THAT MJ HAS GONE

Monday, June 29, 2009 /

THIS SONG IS TERRIBLE, WHOEVER LIKES IT SERIOUSLY NEEDS TO GET THEIR EARS TESTED. BECAUSE IT IS OFFICIALLY GARBAGE AND SO IS SHONTELLE.

SHE IS NOT A STAR, SHE HAS NO STAR APPEAL SO SHE NEEDS TO GO BACK TO BARBADOS AND DO SOMETHING THAT IS MORE SUITED TO HER, LIKE MAKE COCKTAIL DRINKS OR SUMMAT!

THE SAME GOES FOR ALOT OF BLACK ARTISTS NOWDAYS, THEY ARE GIVING BLACK MUSIC AND THE FUTURE BLACK GENERATION A BAD NAME!

BET AWARDS SED IT ALL FOR ME. I WAS DISGUSTED BY THE LACK OF TALENT THAT WAS THERE.

IT MAKES YOU REALISE HOW MJ WAS A TRUELY BLESSED MAN AND TALENT LIKE HIM DONT COME OFTEN!

I WAS ALSO DISGUSTED WITH HOW SELFISH THE MUSIC ARTISTS WERE, THEY DIDNT EVEN TRY, THEY RUSHED THEIR PERFOMANCES AND THERE WERE TIMES ON THE SHOW THAT I FORGOT I WAS WATCHING AN AWARD SHOW THAT WAS MEANT TO BE TRIBUTED TO MJ. IT WAS TERRIBLE!

I PRAY TO GOD AND MJ THAT THEY BRING US SOMEONE THAT HAS GOT TALENT AND WILL REVIVE BLACK MUSIC, BECAUSE AT THE MOMENT IT LOOKS LIKE ITS IN CRITICAL CONDITION!

62.

BLACK MUSIC IS OFFICIALLY DEAD NOW THAT MJ HAS GONE

AND THE BLACK PEOPLE IN THE AUDIENCE MADE ME SICK!

I THINK TALENT IN BLACK MUSIC DEAD!

At first I was highly upset with the so called “tribute” BET gave our musical legend Michael Jackson during the award show but then I actually thought about how much time was actually given to create such an honor to him which in reality wasn’t much. Michael died three days before the show which meant (and showed) they had to scramble and come up with concepts and artists to pay their respects. I feel as though BET should have done a short but meaningful tribute to him at the very beginning of the show with the regular scheduled program following after. That would have made a lot more sense without all of the random Michael Jackson tributes thrown in here & there. To me it just looked a mess and made it seem like BET didnt care enough for him to take the time out to create something truly amazing. We all understand Michael’s death was unexpected so BET shouldn’t have felt the need to rush anything. Do a tribute at the beginning and then announce that you’ll be planning something huge for Michael in the coming weeks to honor him. I am just disappointed with Debra & Stephen and felt that they went about this the wrong way.

Even without the tributes to Michael the show would still be garbage. I only enjoyed Beyonce’s performance (even though her choice of song seemed really random, I couldnt deny how beautiful & angelic her voice was), Ne-Yo’s tribute to MIchael, Keyshia Cole & Monica (Keyshia was okay but Monica of course killed it), the tribute to the O’Jays, The O’Jay’s, and Maxwell. Everyone else either did okay or just a flat out terrible job and it shows that this generation lacks true talent. Weezy’s performance was unacceptable and a disgrace. If you don’t know why I state that, check out the video and figure it out for yourself. Nuff said.

#48 and #61 need to go home!
as do all you effing jealous haters.
What does it matter that tallents flooding in from Barbados with Rih and Shontelle?
Ya’ll really need to get a life and stop bashing these girls.
They friggin’ read your comments,
I’m just hoping your jealous negativity doesn’t affect them,
‘Cause they’re bigger than you,
I mean geeze they’re both in their 20’s
And I bet they’ve achieved more in the past 5 years
Than ya’ll have or ever will in your whole life!

@Mike_mogul

Tuesday, June 30, 2009 /

this is a pretty good song with a positive message., and she’s a pretty girl. Nice melody/lyrics. No matter how anyone may feel, they’re gonna put the m$ behind her because she’s successful already. Pop/Rhythmic, & Top-40 will eat this song alive. It’s crazy how they’re starting to go across the water to get new stars, athletes, etc. Things in the U.S. have gotten so sub-par due to ppl not really working on their craft and being an individual, and having their own identity. I only see carbon copies of what’s already been successful. Also, record labels are scared to even take a chance on sum’n new, so now it’s back to the indie scene with grass roots marketing/promo, and only the strong will survive and prosper. get at me on twitter @mike_mogul for consultation on your music
