Sorry. Yes, that's pretty much the premise. She starts off talking about how she was on top of the world, how she's in love with a guy and how hard it was for her ex-fiance to commit suicide in front of her.

After they covered that, it was mostly her discussing the songs she has recorded so far for the new album and how she is looking for the real HIT. It was cool to see her manager discussing the album with the record company and how they only wanted 10 songs for the project.


Thanks, I ended up seeing this first episode on a video streaming website. I'm just surprised her album wasn't finished. It seemed like they were looking for "the hit" back in February, then they found "Still Standing". shrug I guess they made it the premise for the forthcoming series.

I guess so? It seems like she's been looking for the "hit" for a while then. I guess that's why they released the Keyshia Cole duet. It has done well, but hasn't gotten huge.

I mean she looks great, still sounds great...but she just can't get any hits. Maybe she needs to get away from the boring sound of "everybody else" and try something different but true to herself.
I will forever love and miss you...my sweet Prince.

How can she? All she knows is manufactured music. Her whole career has been based around it.

Well she has to recognize the fact that what she keeps doing isn't working. When something is broke, you fix it right? In should come in with some new ideas....that is if someone in her camp, is a creative mind. confused

Real R&B songs seem to be suffering right now, even when they sound as good as "Trust". I don't know why Monica's having issues now to have a hit when there was a time she was dropping them like nothing. Oh well. I'll catch the show but but just as long as they don't show her "fiance" too much. lol

I crack up when I watch these shows and the scenes in music studios NEVER have any musicians in the studio. It is funny in a very SAD kind of way.

You are so right. It amazes me when people say they have a studio in their home, it is nothing but a board and a few mics and a few computers. A lot of times, there is not even enough room for a set of drums to be present in the studio.

U didn't like "The Boy Is Mine"? What about the period song, "Don't Take It Personal"? I loved the remix of "Don't Take It Personal".

I watched the premier episode and there was nothing that really grabbed me but i'm willing to give it a chance and see all of what she's planning for her new CD. I will say I am somewhat dissappointed that she is sampling the entire musical track for Evelyn Champainge (sp) King's "Betcha She Don't Love You". I mean dayum...those entire song Mo?


Her little boys are absolutely darling. I dunno bout this fiance of hers...I know they got history and shit but do he got any money? She can't be raising the kids and payin' all the bills.

She looks fab tho as always. I can't believe she had her manager/cousin un-contracted for 10 dang years!!! Whew WEE that's some TRUST!!


I think the show was good. I think it's going to be more emotional than a lot of other reality shows.

The sampling of "Betcha" doesn't bother me. A lot of people do that to keep the song alive. I don't have a problem with that part. I just have a problem when the writers are pretty uncreative. The sampling doesn't bother me. A lot of big hits have ripped the song completely. Hell, two of Janet's biggest hits were samples.

Sampling an entire song is being uncreative.

So, Prince sampling "Tramp" in "7" is uncreative?

Awww...it was nice trying to see Keyshia bring together her emotionally handicapped family. They have really cleaned up because of her. She looked lovely on each and every episode and always remained calm in the face of hot ghetto messedness. She deserved a nobel peace prize for that shit.

U r telling the truth. Keyshia was raised by a good lady with class. Thankfully, her mom gave her away.

lol I knew someone was going to say that. There have been some gems like "Pretty Wings" by Maxwell, "Here I Stand" by Usher, "Words" by Anthony David & India.Arie and Prince's "Better With Time" which the DJ on my station swears is the best song on R&B stations right now. And with artists like Ledisi, Jill Scott, Jaheim and Raphael Saadiq, I beg to differ that real R&B is dead. But we're all each entitled to our own opinion.
