Yet here u are
Yes Queen z here I am gurl. Happy New Years to you and everyone on TGJ.
XOXO, Love, —Jasmine
YOU ARE 100% RIGHT Jasmine!
WHAT WAS WRONG WITH THE AMERIE DOUBLE EP? IT SLAYED. IF BEYONCÉ HAD DONE IT YOU GUYS WOULD EAT IT UP. PLEASE CLEAN UP THE BIAS ON THIS SITE IN 2019 OR START A NEW ONE.
Both EPs are fire! I love the stylistic focus on her vocal delivery and the way it’s mixed.
AMAZING AND FLAWLESS AND SHE DID IT INDIE. BUT THE “APESHI*” RECORD IS PRAISED WHEN IT LITERALLY IS THE SAME KIND OF MUSIC. CHILE BYE, AMERIE DID IT BETTER LIKE SHE ALWAYS DID, THE SOUND COLUMBIA STOLE FOR B & J. LO.
I’m surprised Cardi B didn’t win any considering how you all support her so much.
There is no way in hell that these winners & associated numbers are real or accurate.
Exactly
Amerie’s release was ok, but most of the songs sounded the same. The ones that stand out are way above the other tracks.
The Carters’ album is actually the most FORGETTABLE MUSIC PROJECT of 2018 and you all know it! This website constantly pushes an agenda.
This is a joke.
This is more about a popularity contest because honestly with all due respect The Carter’s album came and went with very little fanfare when you take about JayZ and Beyoncé. But everyone is turning a blind eye to it. I really cannot take these end of year polls seriously because it is the same thing every year now.
