I say it's her debut ccd

The first one was and still is a masterpiece.

Yep. EVERYONE had that cd when it came out

True. Who Is Jill Scott? is certainly something to behold. That's her best one, but all of her stuff is really excellent.

Silver, some would disagree with you about her newer stuff

In what way? Yes, there has been some slight excursions in her sound and style, but I still respect the fact that you know what you're gonna expect from Jill Scott. She doesn't come off as forced or limited. I thought that albums such as The Real Thing and The Light of the Sun were necessary.

THe cd that Golden is on-a lot of people dislike that one

That's the perception of people, but the Beautifully Human album was a great direction for her to go into. Who Is Jill Scott? and Beautifully Human kind've goes hand in hand to me.

"Beautifully Human" wasn't completely a bust, there are some gems on it, but it paled in comparison to her first cd.

My vote goes to her, debut.

The only "good" album in her discography IMO.

This one rarely gets mentioned in her discography:

I love the experimental vibe of the + disc.

That and her debut "Who is Jill Scott" are my favorites albums by her but I quickly lost interest after I bought her third album.

I don´t dislike her, it´s just that her newer songs leave me a bit cold and I couldn´t stand how she´d overstretch and oversing stuff, and talk about simple stuff like it was really deep when it wasn´t at all.

I heard she´s lost A LOT of weight and I googled some recent pictures. It´s amazing. I wonder how she managed to lose so much weight without having lots of flab on her body.

I guess I could easily get into her music again if I gave it a try but the third album did very little for me.

Some singers, like Jill and Erykah, are really nice and talented people but at some point, they ( including Lauryn Hill) start gettig a tad too cryptic and "in the know" when they´re really not, and it borders on arrogance when it´s actually just silly.

But I still like all three.

I think her first CD is still my favorite.

I've had a hard time getting into that last one, "Hidden Beach Presents...".

Hidden Beach Presents? Aren't all of her 2000-2007 work labeled with that? You must mean The Light of the Sun.

No....

I meant "Hidden Beach Presents..."

It came out shortly after "Light of the Sun".

Yeah couldn't really get into that one either, but it was nothing more than just a "compilation."

I love me some Jill, so I just knew I was gettin' "a little extra" with that one.

I popped it in, and was like,

The songs sound unfinished or something...

I could not agree with you more, Harlepolis. I can't put my finger on it, but the others just don't grab me for some reason.

It was nothing more than a contractual obligation release. Hidden Beach wanted to cash-in on the success of The Light of the Sun, but as it turned out, it came and went. There were a couple so-so cuts, but it was okey-dokey.

I was head over heels with her debut like everyone else and likely to say thats her best but I CANNOT listen to any songs from it anymore. I immediately hit skip when they come on.

I'm more into her Hear My Call growth material.

Beautifully Human.

I know...

But still, I thought I wold get some more Jill to jam to...

Technically I did, but it didn't do it for me.

Just recently transfered Real Thing to my ipod... and I just really like this CD. I am beginning to think this one is my favorite.

I love Jill Scott. When I need some relaxation/meditation music I put on Jill Scott, the same way I used to reach for Teena.

I don't do vaults or best of CD's because I am too cheap to pay for the same song twice.

Debut would be 2nd for me.

This is the only album that I own or hers... I think it's great.

I think her first one is the best.
