Hey, Geezus.

Hey sis.
I'm on the hunt for some skrippa/go-go dancer GIFs.
Those 8 that I made today gave me 20 new followers overnight.
So now I'm 20 away from 200.

Eli, did you read this review of Loud?, they compare Rated R with the Velvet Rope and Loud with All For You (Slant magazine)

After comparing last year's Rated R to Janet Jackson's The Velvet Rope, Eric Henderson ended his review of the album by expressing hopes that Rihanna wouldn't follow up with something like All for You. At first glance, it appears that his fears were justified: Like Janet's last hit album, Loud is a decided step away from its über-personal, melodrama-drenched predecessor.
While that may disappoint critics like Eric and I, however, it's probably smart business. Lead single "Only Girl (In the World)" finds New York production duo Stargate co-opting David Guetta's inexplicably popular Eurotrash sound pretty effectively, but that song eschews the subtle West Indian flavor with which Rihanna and company have smartly imbued the rest of the album. The singer hasn't embraced—or exploited, depending on how you want to look at it—her Caribbean roots this much since her debut, and after hearing the entire album, her "loud" red hair and floral-pattern dresses make that much more sense.
That's not to say there aren't traces of the R-rated Rihanna here. The album opens with an ode to S&M that would make various parts of Janet's body perk up, and the inclusion of a new version of "Love the Way You Lie" shows that Rihanna isn't completely ready to put her much-publicized bout with domestic abuse behind her. The album's biggest highlight is "Man Down," a full-fledged reggae tune co-written by fellow Barbadan Shontelle Layne about a woman who shoots a man (her abusive boyfriend? Her abusive pimp? Or maybe she's simply the abuser). Either way, Rihanna sounds surprisingly agile in this genre and it's one of her finest, most confident vocal performances to date.
In the end, Loud really isn't Rihanna's All for You, but like Janet, Rihanna has always had trouble fitting into one genre (she has largely flip-flopped between dance, pop, and R&B, crossing over in a big way but meeting resistance in the urban market—a problem Janet would no doubt encounter if she were starting out today too), and for better or worse, Rihanna continues to stylistically branch out on Loud. "California King Bed" is a slushy acoustic ballad whose clever metaphor is all but suffocated beneath the song's cheesy production choices, and the same producers fill "Cheers (Drink to That)" with a sample of Avril Lavigne's yelp, an odd choice consdering Rihanna has contributed at least a couple more famous vocal tics of her own to the pop lexicon.

Leave Ne-Yo alone.

We all know he's a queen but until he admits it, when he has to promote his next album since this one flopped.
And, what's wrong with singing Rihanna songs ? I do it all the time.

I said "Rihanna" because it's HIS song that he wrote and she bought it. Her crew just changed some lyrics around. It's still an extremely gay song in original form.

And the fact that YOU do it proves my point.

I can (teach/give tips to) anyone on how to cook just tell me what you want to learn.
Blueberry Pancakes (not every Sunday just when school has been sorta stressful), grapes, (spanish) omelet, sausage and orange juice but if it's brunch I love Mimosa's (non-alcoholic sprite plus orange juice combined together it's divine).

I bet you're going to make your husband really happy. I'm going to have to try a mimosa. I love mixed drinks. They taste so good.

Oh, **** it. I'll just let them evolve.

I love your reviews.

Very true about Ocean. If you like that you'll probably like their 2005 lead single Two Shoes, which is sonically very similar to their debut but with deeper and more intricate lyrics.

Thank you I somewhat like giving them.

Better than Ocean if possible when it comes to having both lyrical and instrumental presence.
The lyrics have a sense of emotion behind them without letting the powerful instruments drown them out.

Yeah that's a been there done that on the Janet forums. We were there when they name-dropped Janet the first time and we're there again this year

All for You is worlds better than Loud though. Just like TVR is worlds better than Rated R... and I like Rated R. And what bothers me about that review is that they imply that Loud is BETTER or more introspective than All for You. Considering songs like "Better Days," "Truth," "Trust a Try," "Son of a Gun" and "You Ain't Right," it's not even a comparison. AFY is a divorce album. Loud is a... I-got-abused-and-my-best-album-flopped-so-I'm-not-giving-a-****-and-putting-out-this-basic-junk album.

Congrats on almost getting to 200.

I know exactly what you meant and it just might.
But until he comes out it's just speculation.
