Yo Ronald,
You are right! I heard in on the radio here in Indianapolis on WTLC and it
was not sharp..She needs to get off the same thang in muic all the other
R&B artists are trying to do and represent her true talents..I think her
new style is like Puff Daddy, Timberland and Missy combined into one..I
think not..But not let me judge it for you..Check it out for yourself.
