Hardly anybody really sells alot of CDs these days,anyway.But if she can get a few hit singles from this album,that will be enough.

I LOVE "I Can't Describe" with its Evelyn "Champagne" King sample up in there! It's TIGHT!

I don't think Pharrell credited Kashif or Evelyn on the track. They got THICKE'd!

I like that Pharrell is making nods to the old school, but he's been walking a thin line lately with theft. Just like "Blurred Lines," he doesn't sample the song- but he's re-creating the vibe.

And with "He Ain't Going Nowhere," I swear I've heard that "vibe" in another old school jam.

The other writer on these lifted tracks is always T.I., so maybe he eggs Pharrell on.

Yeah if that's the one with zingy Azalea then yes it's lifted from Last Night A DJ Saved My Life.

YES!!!! THAT'S EXACTLY WHAT IT IS!!!!! It kept bugging me. I knew I heard another song in there.

Someone tell me why a Jennifer Hudson album is labeled explicit. I picked it up yesterday. Dangerous is a standout track. Like Soul mentioned a few songs on this album are the strongest material of her career. This is only the second new cd I bought this year. Hopefully I'll buy a 3rd come next week if the material is kickin.

because Ms. Hudson used a "bad" word... in one of her songs.

Explicit album rating, is like the difference between R and PG movie ratings.... or, the goody goody rating the curse of death G. I think Hudson maybe starting to come into her own. Some of the songs, sounded like someone elses material but if Hudson continues to grown as an artist/songwriter... I hope her music wiil be more of a personal stamp.

I caught the F word on Walk It Out.

There ya' go. That's why "potty mouth" go her album maked as .... Explicit.

I remember when Prince's Graffiti Bridge album came with a parental warning sticker and the only offensive word was "pee" in "We Can Funk"

Prince made them invent the parental warning
