Lionel Richie At Work On Country Duets Album [img:$uid]http://i52.tinypic.com/20p2bs8.jpg[/img:$uid]
February 2, 2011
After success in soul and pop, Lionel Richie is trying out a new genre - country music. Richie wrote the hit song "Lady" for country star Kenny Rogers in 1980, but his upcoming duet album marks his first full country album. | |

I'm sayin is this really the best idea he could come up with?!
It'll be the ultimate snoozefest | |

sometimes you just have to say to yourself "I'm going to let my career die with some dignity."
who's going to buy this? who's going to want to listen to this? and how can it possibly begin to be an artistically satisfying project for Lionel himself?
this whole project reeks of the equivalent of musical masturbation. | |

He should've let it die in the early 1990s but I think his musical artistry was shot with that "Dancin' on the Ceiling" bullshit. | |

true I don't understand why he just doesn't do a complete album of 'new' country songs.That's a genre that he has always done anyway.He could easily write ten new country tunes.But the idea of remaking his old songs (country-style) and performing them as duets?? That's just lazy. | |

I agree. | |

Yeah. But that was over 20 years ago, when dude was in a little ol' band called the Commodores. | |

From what I read, he's filthy rich so he's acting lazy on purpose. | |

You mean 30 years ago. | |

What happened to this guy and Babyface? Did they just wake up one morning and found their individual muses gone? | |
- E-mail - orgNote - Report post to moderator |
Greenbacks. That's what happened to them. | |

more power to 'em. I know the day that I wake up and realize I have tens of million dollars, I'm going to get a lot lazier at my job too | |

And next year he'll be playing Jermaine lying about a Commodores reunion. Don't laugh at my funk
This funk is a serious joint | |

Nonsensical sellout bullshit. | |

This mofo just needs to reunite with the Commodores and call it a day damn! | |

I've given up hope for a Commodores reunion.It ain't ever gonna happen. | |

I remember seeing that video when I was 4 and laughing my ass off, and when you wrote it like that, I had a flashback | |

This is going to tank except for the old white people and Kenny Rogers fans in Nashville.
What Lionel SHOULD do is let his Musical Director produce an old school retro FUNK album on him.
(in case you dont know, Chuckii Booker is his musical director)
Which came first , music or the ear for it? | |

^ but he aint been black since the commodores chris tucker, not me
I love his first solo album, but the artwork was artrocrious | |

...Just when you thought he couldn't put on more lipstick, he proves us wrong every time. I will forever love and miss you...my sweet Prince. | |

Seems Lionel needs to get his ass kicked again like on Boondocks. | |
- E-mail - orgNote - Report post to moderator |
Yeah that was funny. Don't laugh at my funk
This funk is a serious joint | |

This does sound really lazy, he could do some new material. I still think he's one of the better song writers of the 70's and 80's, but he lost his mojo a long time ago, and it doesn't look like he's found it yet. Lady Cab Driver is one of the greatest songs ever! | |

Lionel is supposed to be on that TV show where they trace the family tree of celebs. You can take a black guy to Nashville from right out of the cotton fields with bib overalls, and they will call him R&B. You can take a white guy in a pin-stripe suit who’s never seen a cotton field, and they will call him country. ~ O. B. McClinton | |
