[gluvnast]

This

Princes best work is scattered across his catalogue
He has no defining classic in the same way MJ does

Damn wtf was Justin thinking ruining that timbo beat for strawberry bubblegum. I wanna get into it but those lyrics/chorus is so fukking gay. Sounds like some throwaway N'sync shyt

 

[ryda518]

We need a JT/Robin Thicke/Timbo collab album.

20/20 remix addition

 

[JahBuhLun]

Instead of the continued copy and paste repsonse that everyone else game.....

How about someone say LegendNas ur wrong and just list the other songs...........

It is not that difficult......this has gone on for pages now........are u guys gonna keep repeating the same exact comments made already?

just list the songs u think are as good on the album or also good.....

Computer Blue,which fades into Darling Nikki
The Beautiful Ones
I would die for you
Let's Go Crazy
Purple Rain

But you have to realize that Purple Rain is a Pop/Rock/80's synth album in which Prince played all the instruments and wrote all the songs. Purple Rain is not over produced in anyway. The simplicity of Darling Nikki is taken for granted because of the lyrics, but the beat fits that song perfectly. Just raw nasty, shyt.

Producers are still using that synth drum/keyboard that Prince made popular over 20 years ago.

And dont forget the 800 pound gorilla in the room, that is "When doves cry"

 

[Insensitive]

This thread makes me wonder what a dude like
Timbo would create if he spent a couple days in the
studio with someone like Flylo.

The production on this joint is insane.
I won't lie though seems like JT is playing the background
to Timbo's production. His performance is good but I keep
finding myself blown away with what Timbo is doing on tracks like "Tunnel
vision".

Matthew Bellamy >>>>> JT





I know you've suffered
But I don't want you to hide
It's cold and loveless
I won't let you be denied

Soothing
I'll make you feel pure
Trust me
You can be sure

I want to reconcile the violence in your heart
I want to recognise your beauty's not just a mask
I want to exorcise the demons from your past
I want to satisfy the undisclosed desires in your heart

You trick your lovers
That you're wicked and divine
You may be a sinner
But your innocence is mine

Please me
Show me how it's done
Tease me
You are the one

I want to reconcile the violence in your heart
I want to recognise your beauty's not just a mask
I want to exorcise the demons from your past
I want to satisfy the undisclosed desires in your heart

Please me
Show me how it's done
Trust me
You are the one

I want to reconcile the violence in your heart
I want to recognise your beauty's not just a mask
I want to exorcise the demons from your past
I want to satisfy the undisclosed desires in your heart

Decent album overall, but does every fukkin song need to be 8 gatdamn minutes long?

Yes. Yes it does.

 

[Busby]

This album has be being like

People just need to admit that this is a Timbaland production showcase album. With lightweight vocals basically serving as the backdrop performed by a pop star.

Like a poster said earlier Miguel's album is better than this when looked at in terms of vocals and beat production.

Sigh. I get so annoyed by comments like this. People are so used to over singing that they don't appreciate crooners anymore. Back in the day you had two types of artists: crooners (Diana Ross, frank Sinatra) and blowers (Aretha). Blowers were respected for the power while crooners were respected for their tone quality and the sound. We all know Diana couldn't blow like Aretha but she's still considered a legend and that's why.

Very rarely can a singer both croon and blow. Whitney (RIP) could blow a note out the water while maintaining a pure and beautiful tone. So could Luther and Teddy P to a point. Miguel can do both and I give him respect. Dude is underrated like a motherfukker. Beyonce can do it when she feels like

Aaliyah was a crooner. Had issues with hitting power notes but who cared when her high notes sounded so pretty and angelic. Every one isn't supposed to be a powerhouse singer to get respect.

I say this to say that JT is a crooner. And he knows how to arrange his vocals (with help from Timbo) to exploit the quiet lushness in his voice. He learned this after trying to force himself to be a power singer in his Nsync days and almost destroying his voice with that twang ala Bye Bye Bye. Gone was the first song where he used his voice properly and we all know how classic that shyt is.

The game is hard right now for crooners because people just don't respect that its a different form of talent that over singing. Hell, it's called oversinging for a reason.


And JTs vocals live in concert are While dancing. Alladis is to say that I don't consider JTs vocals weak, just different. His crooning on 20/20 is

@LegendNas I'm a bit surprised someone had to tell you about the beautiful ones.
