Any1 copped it? I didnt even know it was released until I saw it on LP today @ Cheapos in Minneapolis.

After listening to 45 second samples of the whole CD, I wasnt that impressed. Alot of the songs are mid-tempo. Its a mix of mostly R&B beyonce type jams and some Missy-like ballads. I will say though it sounded much better than Ruben Studdard's album, and she should have at least 2 or 3 good singles off of it.

Once again I hope she does not get lost in the industry because she has a very good voice that should not pass the world by.

I hope someone speaks for the 1000 rats they had to kill so she could wear that on the cover.

i Don't listen to "Slave" music

Exactly. I heard that all of the American Idol artist are contractally bond to Simon. Now, this is a damn shame.

Hotlegs said:

Yeah same here. It does sound better than the others albums released though I admit.

Hotlegs said:

True, but which Simon? The owner of 19 Entertainment is Simon Fuller and not Cowell (from American Idol).

I got this album last week and I really like it. A very nice effort and you can tell a lot of the songs were written especially for her. I wish she would have done some writing though so she can really get paid, but her cd is getting much play in my cd player.

I have it. It is pretty good. Very talented. Is there a video out of some of her stuff?

Simon Cowell manages the artist and gets a large percentage of the AI artists earnings hands down regardless of who owns the show. The bottom line is that the Simon C owns the AI artists and that they will see a small percentage of their earnings. As we all now, contracts can be a bitch if your new to the biz (haven't you learned anything from Prince.)

I havent seen anyhting. Strange is that Kelly Klarkson's big head is out on display and her AND Ruben's aklbums are shelved in their isles..I didnt even know Ruben HAD a new CD out. Very bad promotion.
