Time will tell if the investment in Channel Orange was worth it.

Right now it's a very divisive album and people either love or hate it.

But I do remember people not getting enough of that Outkast album. I don't really notice people even talking about that album anymore.

So time will tell.

My bet's on Frank.

I mean he obviously is a talented songwriter but that Channel Orange album was really overhyped and didnt really live up to it and while he does convey emotion in his songs, I dont think his much of a performer.

I agree. I had thought of buying his album after hearing it but the hype killed it. I'll get Miguel's album over his...

I bought Miguel's album and was happy I did so. I heard snippets of Frank's album and afterwards I was like, umm no thanks. Couldn't get into it, even with everyone hyping him up, I still wasn't impressed. As for his cryptic comment that everyone is trying to figure out, why bother?

Frank's album is better because it's more creative. But I just prefer Miguel over him in general I love his album. Both albums are must buys imo.

True. I honestly only like 6 songs from that album.

And that talk-singing Frank does is why I can't stan for him lol He didn't work on his live performances either.

The Weeknd (he need to work on his live performances too), Miguel and Frank is my order of preference. lol

Someone needs to give The Weeknd some performance lessons so he don't appear like he's drunk and high on weed 100% of the time. lol

I think ALL of yall hype Frank and that Miguel dude up a lil to much around here, yea I said it lol

There refreshing to listen to when they come on the radio rather than hearing the Bieber's, Rihanna's, Perry's etc ......but I wouldnt come out the pocket for it razz

In order for me to pay money for anything I have to REALLLLLLLYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY like it

So what if it might be better than Chris Brown?, it doesnt necessarily make it a Mozart masterpiece razz

I think since this era is so bad we kind of just settle for anything or maybe I am just hard to please razz

That was the press.

Minus the hyperbole they were trying to say that he was one of the more impressive R&b acts since, well, D'Angelo.

I don't know if he is but I have a hard time naming anyone else.

Esperanza Spalding anyone razz

She is a multi instrumentist, she writes all her music, experiments with alot of genres etc... I personally think her D are different in their styles.... but she probably is the most impressive since D Angelo in terms of being a musician and all around artist.

I dont see why cant they just allow people to just come out with an album. It always has to be a catch attached to it.... it was ridiculous how they were comparing it to Brown Sugar.

You think that's bad, the NYT writer quoted someone at the listening party declare, "This must've been what it felt like when "Purple Rain" first came out."

I'm sorry but I have to pull a KCOOL on this one!

There goes Two-Faced Timmy again, talkin' out of both sides of his neck.

You were stanning hard for Miss Frank, saying she was the new thing and that folks who didn't like her just didn't get it! You and smooth, both!

Well, la ti da, even if this is a publicity stunt, it's hilariously bad. She needs to get a therapist.
