Is 'hateration' a word? As in "don't need no hateration"?

I hate to admit it, but I sorta like the new Mary J. Blige song.

D'oh! Must...turn...radio...off...

Another shameful admission

[theuniversalist.livejournal.com]

I sorta like that song by that British R & B dude, Craig David... I think it's called "Fill Me In." Do you know what I'm talking about? It's got a great beat; I actually really like that two-step groove that seems to be infecting a lot of new hip-hop and r & b music...

Can't say I'm familiar with the song...I know who that that Craig David fella is though...usually I can't handle male R&B singers for too long. The songs just get on my nerves, unless it's got a certain je ne sais quoi that makes it stand out.

Yeah, in my opinion, his song has that je ne sais quoi. It's definitely not typical. I don't usually like male r & b, either (like Maxwell and all that junk), but this song is good. You should download it sometime and see if you like it.

R. Kelly: no bueno
Isaac Hayes: muy bueno!

I do like stuff like Jill Scott and Erykah Badu...I think the music (otside of the singing)is just generally better...better songwriting.

I don't knwo who Jill Scott is, but I do like Erykah Badu a lot. She's a very talented lady. I like old blues and jazz a lot too, like Ella Fitzgerald and Billie Holiday. And I am in complete accord with your opinions of R. Kelly and Isaac Hayes! :-)

I tend to go more for older R&B and soul singers (Isaac, Barry White, Marvin Gaye, Al Green)...most of these new cats just don't have it.

And you can't beat Ella, or Billie.
