First Portait gets a Greatest Hits Cd,

Then Sisqo gets a Millenium Collection,

Now Donell! What's next? (Bobby Valentino the Best Of?)

Donell may be a good artist but he has Four hits, may be five. Can't people just pick up the Second Cd and have most of the hits.


(I'm still waiting on the Jermaine Stewart Greatest Hits)

they should just call them best of not greatest hits.

Natalie Imbruglia?????

the music world is not the USA (and thank the lords of Kobol for that!)

Donell has some great songs, but not enough for a greatest hits cd yet. He's a good singer though.

He's had several albums. He managed to get 2 or 3 hits per cd. Besides, I'm sure the "Greatest Hits" was to mark the end of his contract with LaFace.

Donnell's albums

My Heart and Where I Wanna Be are great

nurse said:

I really liked his last cd and "Where I Wanna Be".

I felt like Life Goes on sounds kinda rushed-it's not that good. Sad though because Donell's voice is great.

daPrettyman said:

Where I Wanna Be is classic-still listen to it today. The last cd I didn't purchase-got tired of wasting money.

daPrettyman said:

Right. if you had a hit single or two, released a few albums and your contract is up, count on a hits set!

Its a shame I only know 5 songs from it...

where can i find left eye collabo? which album? thx

Where I Wanna Be...

Well I like Donell Jones and I love some of his songs, but most of them were starting to sound the same...same subject, similar beat, same words.

B2K has a "Greatest Hits" package as does Rome.

Rome??? He had more than one album???

Not live trust me on that. His vocals sound horrible just doing track shows.
He would embarrass a live band.

missfee said:

Why? I only remember one song and that was "I Belong to You" and lemme just say I heard a rumor he was only 16 when he put that out. He sure didn't look it though.

Timmy84 said:

thats the only song i know. wonder what would be on his greatest hits.

Didn't rome start singing gospel for a minute?

daPrettyman said:

You're right. Greatest hits are just sales vehicles. Even if Donnell Jones really has only 4 or 5 true hits, newcomers at this stage, or fans who have put off buying the albums will more likely pull out cash to get all the hits on one CD. The rest of the album can simply be the other released singles that weren't hits or other filler.

We've all seen the vast array of Greatest Hits, Anthologies, Best Ofs, etc. and know that they hardly have to be packed full of an artists best material to be released.

Betty Boo had a greatest hits album as well. She only had 2 career albums overall.

I believe Rome had 2 major label albums and one independent. His first one did well. "I Belong To You" was the big hit and "Do You Like This" was his 2nd hit. It did chart, but it wasn't as big as the 1st single.

I believe his 3rd album was a gospel cd. I remember seeing him on TBN promoting it.

I'm pretty sure the majority of the "Hits" album is full of "Where I Wanna Be" joints since that was his biggest and best album. But usually a greatest hits album by someone with little material means they're about to get booted off their label.

13. Knocks Me off My Feet (My Heart)

I am kind of surprised that "In The Hood" didn't make the cut. It charted and was a regional hit.

daPrettyman said:

Oh ok, it's pretty spread out. I wanted "Have You Seen Her" off the "Wanna" album to be on there. I'm also curious how "Oh Na Na" of "Gemini" didn't make it?

How the hell do you screw up a Donell Jones hits CD? "In the Hood" is a no brainer, but "You Should Know" could've made an appearance. Wasn't it a double A-side with "Knocks Me Off My Feet"?
