I love “Better without you” too. It reminds me of the track Brandy would do.

Also, what’s the deal with “Work (Put it in)”? Fat Joe isn’t on it. It’s a shame, ‘cos his verse grew on me. She should definitely release this as a single with Fat Joe.

Overall I like it. It sucks there’s aren’t more brand new songs, a couple of the tracks leaked ages ago. But still, it all sounds hot. The only track I’m not feeling is “Ghetto”.

I see no growth because her vocals, which are lovely, are still subdued according to what she’s able to do.

I don’t call the same ol’ relationship/party filler themes growth.

Yes, there is diversity in the production, BUT I CAN DO A FULL-OUT comparison of other artists songs that parallel to these.

NICE TRY KELLY, but I’d like to see this Kelly breakout like the other Kelly.

I love Kelly, and I really want her to have the Buzz and Success Letoya had last summer BUT:

1. HER CD IS SUB-PAR
There are few “radio” and “quality” hits. Thank God “Bad Habit” wasn’t there, because none of the songs meet its standard.

This saddens me, and in the past I would have blamed the Knowles, but I just think it’s her. She never got the courage of breaking out from the background, like Letoya.

I still think she lacks confidence, and masks that by appearing humble.
