When I listen to these songs I get upset that Graffiti never did well....The media and the public could NOT take!

It just wasn't a good time to release it. He should have waited a bit.

Can I ask why "I.Y.A" or "Pass Out" were never released as a single?

IYA's was one of the worst on Graffiti. Pass Out couldve been a huge international smash

I know! I agree with what someone said earlier when they said that F.A.M.E and Graffiti should have switched places....I feel Graffiti, if released in the time frame that F.A.M.E was,could have been more successful!

Well there's always Fortune

Oh well/ most tracks on the album are amazingly good. Although i do not understand it's under-performance.

Yeah! I guess people like the island feel to the song! It under performed due to certain circumstances....I won't talk about it in this thread though...

That's really the only reason?
I think it's the main reason.
Maybe some real R&B (Chris Brown) fans felt like he went to much electro/pop on Graffiti?

I Love U would have smashed internationally and it now one of my favorite songs by him - closely behind Forever, With You and No Air.

This. However, he needs way more female SINGING collaborations (I'm here for a No Air 2.0)

Yes!!
But, please NO Keri Hilson.
I like her... but NO!

Nope...He released "I Can Transform Ya" which was well received by the Urban community...not to mention the R&B song "Sing Like Me" which was also a favorite although it was a promo single!

I definitely can agree with this. As much as I love Graffiti I'm a little surprised with how much praise it gets on here. Not to say it isn't a great album and not to say I don't absolutely love some of the songs (Pass Out, Fallin Down, Famous Girl, Sing Like Me and ecetera) but it's personally my least favorite album of his. I guess I'm more here for R&B Chris, though I love his pop stuff too. But I'm appalled at people saying F.A.M.E and Graffiti should switch places I don't think if Graffiti was released now it would've given the same success that F.A.M.E has. There is no LAMN on Graffiti, There is no Deuces and those are two of the sole reasons F.A.M.E was his comeback album to begin with. I can't see anything on Graffiti doing what those tracks have for Chris.

On top of that, I kind of love that Graffiti is his underrated album. I think the release was perfect for the type of material it was. Especially since it was more of a different sound for Chris. I like the fact that Graffiti is so underrated, it makes me appreciate the risk and the direction more, in my opinion.

I see your point and I agree with some of your comment. LAMN is truly a much better version of "I Can Transform Ya". Deuces really set the path for his comeback! I just think that single material wise, Graffiti is a better album plus its my personal favorite! I understand where your coming from though!

EDIT: I love R&B Chris too but ever since Forever, I've been a bit more welcoming to his more " poppier" songs!

Really? I love I.Y.A! Well, I guess someone has to love it. It gives me childhood teas, and I don't really know why.

Pass Out was my jam!

I think my top 3 Chris Brown jams right now are Pass Out, Fallin' Down, and Deuces, in no particular order.
