    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.

    1. work (freemason’s mix)

    2. comeback

    3. still in love with my ex

    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.

    You guy all have good point but Flashback is HOT sould be at least number 5.

    comeback should of been released as the lead single – i reckon it could have been similar (but not as successful) and when rihanna dropped umbrella…

    1. Work
    2. Still In Love With My Ex

    5. Ghetto or Love (May)

    If those did well, possibly a re-release:

  15. Nothing But Love September 2, 2008

    You guys know NOTHING!!! especially you SAM!!!

    these would be my picks..

    1) The Show
    2) Flashbacks
    3) Comeback
    4) Gotsa go

    * possible release Daylight

    Thats what Kelly should have done from the get go… now look at her

  16. Anonymous September 2, 2008

    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 b*** 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.

  17. lovekelly September 2, 2008

    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.

    love (1st pick) .. work (2nd) .. like this (3rd) better without you (4th)

  19. Nick September 2, 2008

    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!!!

    Dimp’s List

    1st Single – Flashback
    2nd Single – Every Thought Is U
    3rd Single – Like This
    4th Single – Still In Love With My X

    Had the label released the singles in that order Kelly would have been hott here in the US!

  23. tia September 2, 2008

    1. like this (which she did get alot of play for)
    2. THe show (sickest song on the album)
    3. Comeback
    4. Flashback
    5. love (since some people are doing 5 singles these days)

  24. A.K. September 2, 2008

    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.

  25. Waddie G. September 2, 2008

    1st – Like This

    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 s*** 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!

  35. Just B September 2, 2008

    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 r*****.

    Although this album isn’t good at all.

    okay she should have def did it this way:
    1)Like this (march)
    2)Still in love with my ex (june close to the release of the album and would have been better for the BET awards possibly…)
    3)Work and remix (August to finish up the summer and everything)
    4)The Show (December)
