LOL! and love that smiley. Am I the only one who thinks the album would flow better if it were a different track-listing? The album should have been longer, or one song should have been substituted for something Dance-able (only RB is).

This era is very dangerous, unpredictable, prone-to-underperform, yet, I LOVE IT! I know she will win in the end. DefJam has to be careful with the single choices. This is a great album, but the general public won't know from simply hearding "Russian Roulette" & "Hard" as they are IMO, the weakest songs on Rated R!!

NO HATE:
I feel like this is something like Rihanna's My December.

Which means that the next album IS GOING TO OWN EVERYONE'S FAVES, and beat Kelly's jump to #1 on BBH100 with her first single!

I mean it in the sense that it wasn't what people were expecting and didn't produce massive top 3 singles, but it still was critically appreciated and did very well commercially. I feel like Rated R is very similar in that manner.

Just as I predicted, I love the album now.
THA WAIT IS OVA!

Yes Rated R is an artist doing what SHE WANTS not what the label wants.

Her best album IMO, but I don't think it'll do that well.

I LOVE YOUR USERNAME! I remember being in Middle School, spending my countless hours voting at TRL when I should have been studying and doing HW

"Hard" is #19 on iTunes (#1 on R&B charts) and #1 taking off on Pop radio without a pops adds date! Does anyone know the AI difference between this and RR?
