As much as I hate to say this, I have to. HAVEN'T WE BEEN HERE BEFORE? Isn't this the same thing she did and said regarding her sophomore album Ms. Kelly? She recorded the entire album; set a release date, songs leaked all over the net, then she shelved the project and went back into the studio to "redraft" what would be the "perfect album". The only difference is this time she actually released singles from what appears to be another shelved project. Do we even know that any of her previously recorded/released material ("Commander", "Rose Colored Glasses", :"Grown Woman" and "Forever and a Day") all great songs by the way, will still be featured on this new "perfect", "unlimited" album. Not to mention all of the HOT songs that were leaked (Shake Them Haters Off, On&On, Each Other, etc.). She had so much material. GOOD material that was actually signature for her. I really don't want jewels like On&On and "Forever and a Day" replaced with typical, trend heavy predictables like Hangover and I'm That Chick. I know people like those songs but really, "they tell me I'm so fly, I'm so fly, I'm so fly"; not exactly a lyrical masterpiece.

I'm not saying she can't or shouldn't have these songs on the album, I'm saying don't replace what's actually good and timeless for that which is mediocre and trendy. If she did that she'd be like every other artist(and I use that term loosely) that's out right now, and Kelly is better than that. Songs like I'm That Chick may be what she needs to get a hit stateside (Sad, I know) but those songs do not and should not define her as an artist. Kelly is versatile and a vocal force to be reckoned with. That is what the "perfect" album would/should show case.

I just don't want Kelly to fall for the okey doke. No Ms. Kelly mishaps this go round. Home girl can't afford another.

Note: It would behoove her to make this project a double-discs set. Shell out the extra cash. As long as your supporters have been waiting, they deserve more than a measly 11-12 songs. She'd better find a way to make this album worth the wait and the money. REAL TALK.
