You aren't alone. Even though I'm a fan of his, sometimes I'm really on the fence about him. For some reason, I wasn't feeling "The Throne" enough to purchase it. I heard the snippets and some songs are okay (I actually do like "No church in the wild") but it just didn't grab me enough to buy the whole album. Not like his first few efforts did, I mean I literally ran on my lunch break to buy his cd's the first day they came out...now it's like . I think what he really needs is a break, a vacation, maybe 6 months to a year for him to really sit down, calm down, and come back to the creative place he was at when he released his first few albums....BUT I think he's afraid to take a break, honestly. He's had many chances to do just that, but chose not to. Just my take on it.

Dude needs a reality check. He needs to come back to Earth. I miss the sweater-wearing, mascot, Black-positivity/unity KanYe. Not this excess admiration crap he's pushing out now.
Yeah, well he's really just too busy trying to become the "new king of pop" to stay in that zone. What a joke he has become.

SHe's probably afraid that she would get mugged during commercial breaks. Anyways, I saw D'angelo's performance and I thoroughly enjoyed it. He's looking more put together these days and he sounds spectacular. That new song sounds fantastic, and it was great to see people stand up and jam to his music along with him. As for Kim K. I think she was wondering how she got with Kanye instead of D'angleo. R&B Jesus onstage working miracles!

I will forever love and miss you...my sweet Prince.
Possibly both. To be honest, his voice has been like this within the past couple of years or so. I remember hearing him on the Tom Joyner Morning show Sky show a year or so ago, maybe two, but his voice sounded just like it did last night. I saw them live about 5 years ago and he was amazing. They all were. I love them and all, and don't want to complain too much because they've paid their dues, but he didn't sound his best at all last night. I'm just glad that he's still alive and performing.
To be honest, Im not mad at Frankie because he payed his dues. However he didnt necessarily have to perform being aware of his voice but he still had the party rocking...
True!

I watched both Cissy and D'angelo on youtube and out of respect for Cissy imma leave that alone, but D'angelo's performance sucked like I knew it would.
I KNOW that I'm a youngin and all but gotdamn, I want him soo badly...
Noooooo D Angelo is mineeeee that is my boo boo... The two men are mine... D and MJ.. you can have the rest
I JUST FINISHED WATCHING D ANGELOS PERFORMANCE LAST NIGHT AND HE WAS OFF THE CHAIN!!!! He sounded great and I love the new song. I was kinda disappointed in the audience though they did not seem into it at all. BET wouldnt know good music if it hit em in the face... such triflin low class and then when real talent performs they dont know how to respond to it because their not use to it..... such a shame... D angelo did his thing though! Go D!

And this muthafuckka right here
I don't get how you think it sucked...is it because he didn't use any sythesizers, 808 drumbeats, and wear a crazy, faux avante-garde get up? Help me see where you would get such an opinion from.

Please!!!! I been following D'angelo since he started singing and I wasn't impressed then either As far as a comeback performance it was lack luster to me

As far as dissing talented performers, I ain't the one D'angelo has some nice songs, but he has also had a pretty bad history too and yeah he looked like a reformed crack head up there-chile please!!!!

But you love Beyonce and your 40
Sit....down.
How he looks has nothing to do with the performance and how he sounded. Now if you need glitter, flash, gimmicks, etc to be entertained than watch the Chris Brown performance or Nikki.... Also, his private life has nothing to do with that performance, so why try to take a stab at it? If you dont like his performance then fine but at least have a mature arguement.

I thought so too to be honest. I was never really into him anyway but wish him the best with his comeback regardless.

Girl Please!!!! Yes Im 40 and proud of it when u get there lemme know As far as my argument goes-didn't like the performance, never really cared for D'angelo or his history. Like it or not and yes I like Beyonce no shame in saying it When u are blessed to see 40 lemme know until then keep these lame ass age comments to yourself. Fucking kids!!!

First off, Im 20. Im not a child and if your going to have an opinion and want to be taken seriously then you need to present your ideas maturely. Just because your older doesnt mean you have a right of passage to be childish. Secondly, the writing is on the wall right there. You like Beyawnceeee so you clearly dont have a ear for good music anyway anytime you want to use a lame excuse of how someone looks to make it seem as though the performance was bad. No one insisted that performance was the greatest in the world but it was a good performance and he sounded good. You like trash so keep it at that. Stay with your trash and leave the real music to us And I can make ANY comment I see fit as long as respectful. I didnt say anything disrespectful to you in that last post, but I kinda was expecting a little more depth in the post besides the childish nonscense and since your older to have a broader music vocabulary... O well age aint nothing but a number as Aaliyah would sing....

You know what how old were u when D'angelo started singing? Case closed I come on here and state my opinion and u always seem to have an issue with me for some reason As far as my taste in music-shit I was born in Motown its in my blood can't help it so ur statements means shit to me. The fact that u find fault with everything I post also says alot about you-think about it. Not finna argue with a kid! You act like one so im going to say you are one I find it funny that I stated I was 40 and that's the only thing you base ur arguments off of-kinda sad. I like Beyonce like it or not-really don't care. NEXT!!!!
Anyway, before I was so rudely interrupted. I was saying that D'angelo has some nice songs-love Nothing Matters with Lauryn, but it seems that all the bad history he has kinda overshadowed that talent. Never really cared for him, but wish him luck.

The only time I have ever responded to you besides THIS time was that one time in that thread you were trying to make that ridiculous arguement you deserve more respect because of your age. Besides that I never even hardly respond to you, not sure where you got that from but okay.
Secondly, this is a message board. You said something I disagreed with so I responded accordingly. Lastly, regardless of how old I was when D angelo started singing, I can see the brotha has talent and makes good music unlike you. Also, I dont give 2cents and a bucket if you like Beyonce, The only reason why I stated it was because you bashed D angelo over a ridiculous reason so I thought Id remind you that you like trash and D angelo is raw talent and makes good music. Also your the one that is acting like a child but in the same sentence demand more respect watever ... Carry On with why you dont like D angelo because he looks like a Crackhead which A, has nothing to do with his music and B as well as that performance.
Seriously, though this is the reaction people get when they state their opinions about an artist around here. Even in your thread-it went there, but we disagreed and kept it moving Not all this personal shit Yes Im 40 and loving it-move the fuck on!
