I remember when she had buzz around her like Lana Del Rey or Azealia Banks do now. ATRL used to be here for her, but she released a lot of pretty generic, uninteresting music. "Turnin' Me On" and "Knock You Down" were as close as she got to releasing a great pop/urban track.
I love her. People don't like her cause she don't worship Beyonce. Her first album was great and her music is a lot better than these so called it girls of music.
She was never really an it girl.By the time she came out (Summer 07-Summer 08) ,Rihanna was still pretty much the "it girl" at the time.Keri Hilson did have potential with Energy being an urban single but, right after Turnin Me Off came out,things went DOWNHILL and she became the butt of all jokes.
