Oh yeah Angie Stone disappointed the ish out of me. I saw Angie in concert
a few months back at BB King's and she talked about Celebrity Fit Club...encouraging us to watch. She was actually filming it then...why ask us to watch you be a failure EVERY DAY?! It's not sad that she is where she is...it's just sad that she's been given a way out and chooses to be cowardly about it every time the going gets rough. Especially sad that she uses the excuse of having a cardiac condition that is actually worse because of her weight!! Pretty bad... -Portia In a message dated 9/8/2006 6:15:52 A.M.

His VMA performance--with floating moonwalk in tow--was just part and parcel of that to me. The album has its strong points for me, but primarily because I like Timbaland's production, even though some of the tracks sound like rehashed Timbo--What Goes Around Comes Around sounds like Cry Me A River part two, as does My Love... and one of the slow tracks on there sounds like Genuwine's Differences. I think Timbo did a much better job with Nelly Furtado. Beyonce's album really sucks to me. It sounds like she has given up singing for shrieking, as though she's confused volume for pitch. Deja Vu and Ring the Alarm has almost NO melodic content, and a few listens of the album did nothing for me. Haven't heard Christina's album, but the single that's out now, sounds like a 90's new jack swing/sample of James Brown, rather than a real authentic retro sound. Not feeling it at all. I do think she actually has some chops and can sing, but hasn't always had the best material to showcase that. And yeah, I couldn't believe that was Angie Stone on Fit Club... real sad.
