Hey so this would of been my pick :
Presingle (album anouncement)===> Comeback (Cause she got it!!)
Single # 1 : Like This (I think this was a gr8 first single! People are deaf lol]
Single # 2 : Work (original + freemasons) I personnally like the original better but there's no dobt that the remix is better for europe and/or Pop stations
Single # 3 : Still in Love with my X (Remix for Rnb stations / original for Pop) This is my song, I'm just wishing she had recorded the interlude in it's entirety and the remix version doesn't sound as personnal but would be a gr8 rnb/hip hop record
Single # 4 : Love (Europe) / Ghetto (USA)
[Bad habit should of got the single treatment!!!! She should have released it on her album like Beyoncé did with Dangerously in love]
Ps: Kelly if u read this I love ya!!!

#1: I would have to say Work..its radio friendly…video could have been better.
#2. Love- nice lil mid tempo
#3.Comeback was HOT! The video was EXCELENT! Or even LIke This would have been a good 3rd choice. Not a first single tho…I loved the song..still bumpin the album now.

4. love
5. better without you
in my humble opinion, like this was not single material. neither was ghetto or daylight or broken. if anything unity should be the last single not broken!

Oh No No No No No. The Album should have been released as follows.
1) Like This as the lead single. It was so dope n got u ready 4 Ms.Kelly. N if I remember correctly it was a top 5 single n 1 in sales so we coulda left that there.
2)Comeback: Ms. Kelly coulda just blew us away. The Video was SSSSSSSSSSSSOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO HHHHHHHHHHHHOOOOOOOOTTTTTTTTTTTTTT! It woulda been crazy. Everybody woulda really started 2 pay attention n it was so hypnotic n catchy.,. instant hit.
3) Work The original 4 us over here n the USA with a different video. I loved it and the corriography but it didn’t quite climax 4 me like the song does.
4) Still In Love With My X (Remix with Young Texas) Does show more depth n she sounds more soulful. N u get the males perspective on the song as well n just ties it all together. The Original track is hot but the beat never sat well with me. Maybe 4 pop radio or europe as was said b4.
5) Love that song is sooosoosososososososososososososososo dope I play it all the time n she sang her ass off.

I think Like this was a good introduction, from there it should have been
Love- this song has #1 hit all over it, she sang her butt off and it talked about something.
Work- cool video with intricate dance moves
Still in love with my ex, the remix version, the original is too mellow.
I would also service Ghetto or the show to urban stations
and dance remixes to dance stations, kelly would have been everywhere if it were up to me, shes a lot more talented and better performer than more than half of these girls out here. shes just naive, business is business, and people aren’t doing you right boo.

Firt Pick – "Like This" was a great introductionto this new era. The new sexier and sassier MS Kelly Rowland
Second Pick – "Stil In Love With My Ex"(Original-Worldwide/Remix feat Yung Texxus-US) Beautiful and intimate song with pop and rnb influences
Third Pick – "Love" Strong lyrics with great vocals from Kelly. It would be a moderate hit but this is a great song which make people think about life and love.
Fourth Pick – "Work(Original & Freemasons)Worldwide"/ "Comeback"(US) Two great uptempos. For Work she would have promote the two versions to increase the sales of the original version of MS Kelly
Then the re-release(with the five new tracks and the SILWME remix and Work freemasons)
Fifth Pick – "Love Again"
Sixth Pick – "Flashback US Pop & Worldwide / Ghetto US Urban Radio" just like Beyonce with Upgrade U & Beautiful Liar
Seventh Pick – "Unity" International(not in US) To remind people she is the queen.

man, this cd was sooo good, I think LIKE THIS is the PERFECT 1st single, she jst should hav had a BETTER VIDEO!!! like HARD DANCE!!! #2 -COMEBACK (although I like the current video) A DANCE VIDEO wth a cute theme would have really pushed this song, 1 of my FAVORITE TRACKS is BETTER WITHOUT YOU (#3), I thnk this would hav been a cute single & video of her doin it live wth a relaxed crowd in a lounge maybe, woulda been TITE!!! THEN WORK (#4), wth a tite video, THE KEY TO SUCCESS ALSO IS A GREAT CONCEPT WTH THE VIDEO!! DANCE DANCE DANCE, we gta see tht, thts wat messed JANET up, FEEDBAK was great, BUT video was tooo damn slow-COMEBACK KELLY GIRL COMEBACK!!!

September 2, 2008 at 12:23 pm
no no it shoulda went down like this:
1. Work: everyone understood that kelly was reinventng herself with Like This, but it didnt have that climatic effect she was hoping for.
2. Love: First a dance single then a ballad, just follow the mariah carey formula from the mimi era.
3. Still in Love with my ex: this song was HOT no doubt, really deserved to get a video
4. Comeback: very hot song, video even hotter
5. Like This: great song, but not as a first single
and if it went really well, i woulda loved to see “this is love” being a single. that song was just beautiful.

Lol sam i KNEW u were gonna go there. lmao
Damn near perfection. she coulda pulled a “B” and done a vid 4 every song on da album wit diva deluxe along with it. everything sorta went downhill when she released “Ghetto” (which is a good song imo) soooo long after the album and she 2nd guessed herself and aint do any promo 4 it.
Work woulda been a smash whenever it got released cuz it was s’pose 2 happen.
she’ll get it rite n ‘09(hopefully)

Any of these for singles:
1- Like This
2- Still in Love with My Ex (Ft Young Texxus)
3- Gotsta Go (wasn’t even on the US album!!!)
4- Work
5- Love
Who is handling this girl’s situation and single releases?? Please get rid of Daylight and pretty much all the songs recorded for the re-release! They won’t sell records…I need to be on Kelly’s management team. She has the talent, the image, and the material without the right decision-making!!!

1. Like This (I think it was a great 1st single)
2. Comeback (Wouldve been good to follow up)
3. The Show (Hot and sexy duet, better than ghetto!)
4. Work (Wouldve kept the album relevant after those 3 singles!)
With that line up, she probably would have gotten a fifth single, which should have Still In love with My Ex!
Just B
September 2, 2008 at 2:31 pm
I think she should have kept Bad Habit and they could have used it as a buzz track. But anyways here’s my list:
Buzz “Bad Habit”
1. Work
2. Still In Love With My Ex(remix w/Young Texas)
3. Like This
4. Comeback
Maybe a re-release
5. This is Love
6. Unity

this is by no means how i personally would rank the songs in order of how i like them but just what i think would have worked well as the singles line up. i think that had work been the lead single things would have worked differently, there would have been more hype surrounding the next single etc, and comeback is a strong enough track to follow with before she brings out the stand out track, still in love wih my ex, which would have been a big hit. i really like ‘like this’ but im not sure it was lead single material… i do like daylight aswell so have to include that.

What happened to her song "ALL ON U" with Lil Wayne!? THAT SONG WAS SICK NASTY!!!
Its a shame it didn't make her album. I think "Comeback" is weak & audiences won't like it cuz it's not really sing-able without sounding like a nasal retard.
