♫ Dondria - You’re the One
♫ ALTERNATE LINK ♫
Never heard of her? Check out SoSo Def recording artist, Dondria, with her debut single, “You’re the One.”
If you’re not familiar with her, you should know that Jermaine Dupri immediately signed her to his imprint after she became a YouTube sensation, singing her heart out via her channel, garnering “fans” who made requests on which songs to cover.
The new track is her official first single, and was co-produced by Jermaine Dupri and Bryan-Michael Cox. She is currently in the process of wrapping up her debut album.

I like Dondria a lot. I had the pleasure of Interviewing her in 2008 on my online radio show, and she’s a sweet girl. I love her voice it reminds me of an old school 90’s R&B tone.

I think her voice sounds like a mix between RiRi and Bey…thats just me…Good song though

I like it. BUT I think the production could have been either (1) more polished or (2) more rugged to really complete the vintage feel.
Also, more could have been done with the background vocals - more background harmony.
If they did that it’s be a hit!

Agree w/ Lala….
Some of ya’ll are just deaf or either so used to Souljaboy and Lady Gaga that ya’ll don’t appreciate real R&B anymore….I love this song, I’ve been listening to it all day!!! Such a great song! Finally someone talking about love, and not Russian Roulette, and all this other confusing mess….love Rihanna too, but sometimes you just want to hear some music that gets to the real point…this takes me to the 90’s and I love it!!!!

It’s OK, unfortunately, I think they’ve picked the wrong time to bring her out. They should have waited for Rihanna and Lady GaGa to do their thing first. She also needs to develop her own personal singing style.

Yeah sh’es going for that soulful aura I see. I’m loving it

she’s not even competing with rihanna and Lady Gaga.. This song is obviously, OBVIOUSLY an R&B smash… Really the only stations that have had it was Dallas and Jackson, MS.. Chicago just got it too.
The organs really give it a soulful feel. very churchy. Her harmonies are really beautiful!!
54.

Monday, November 23, 2009 /
and to be honest, Alicia Keys would have sang something like this in the past and it would have shot to #1.. but I prefer Dondria’s voice by far.
Wasn’t even a fan of this young lady on youtube, but this song really does it for me..

DONDRIA’S HER OWN PERSON…REGARDLESS OF WAT TIME SHE COMES OUT..IT SHUD BE BASED ON VOCALS…ITS JUS A SINGLE OUT RIGHT NOW! PERFECT TIMING!!
(UR BUT UGLY @ KAY KAY) LIK COME ON NOW, BE REAL
—AGREE W/ MS GET IT, AND LALA
I LOVE RIHANNA’S LOOK, BUT SHES MADE UP!
DONDRIA SOUNDS AMAZING AND I LOVE THIS SINGLE!
56.
yep
Monday, November 23, 2009 /
She reminds me someone else..maybe a mix of Solange Knowles and Keri Hilson.
One thing that annoys me about songstresses lately is they tend to overpronounce certain consonants a la Beyonce..especially the “s” and “t”…can make many of them sound the same. The song is good otherwise.

Somethings can be denied, but Dondria’s vocal skills cannot! If you go to youtube.com/phatfffat the talent is right in your face. She doesn’t try to sound like anyone else…she’s has had this sound since day one…I’m “older” and I can say, thank GOD, because the R/B category was non existent for a minute as far as females go. Beyonce is in between(more pop) Rihanna is POP all day..gaga(i have no words while she brainwashing errybody) #justsayin…But this young lady is bringing me back to the 90’s when there was no autotunes…oh and 4get what u heard..JD is the KING when it comes to breaking new talent..Jagged Edge, Bow Wow, Xscape…the Resurrection of Mariah Carey with E=MC, Ushers biggest selling album 10x’s plat “confessions” so don’t sleep…#Biem

I’m happy they to see that she got her chance! This is my first time hearing this song, and though Im not a fan of it, Im sure with better material she’ll have a breakout moment.
There aren’t too many stars doing straight RnB in the mainstream now, the market is wide open, and consumer are hungry.

I like the song, and with a few more listens, I hope I love it, It kinda ends quickly, and I think if she smiled for the cover, it would’ve matched the title of the song? No, IDK. Good luck, Dondria!
