This girl has ruined music for me. The production of her album, her energy, her lyricism, her flow, her singing ability and range...it has made other modern rnb artists just plain boring to me.

I try, I really do, but I can't get into it. :wow::rip:

She has good music, but it doesn't make me like anything else any more or less. If everybody sounded like her... well... she'd be a bore.

Janelle is dope.. But why can't you listen to both... Not saying they compare, but it's like asking "Why listen to Prince, when you have MJ"....

Both of their styles are completely different, and they both make good music... Just enjoy

ArchAndroid was one of the best debut albums I've heard in years. It's a shame it flopped, but :takedat: didn't know how to market her right. I'm hoping she gained a few fans from appearing on that fun. single and can use that momentum for the next album.

but yeah, next to Erykah, she's easily my favorite soul singer

It doesn't have to sound exactly like her but I enjoy the instrumentation and bombastic production of her songs. Then I listen to Frank Ocean or Bey or something and it sounds like typical hip hop shyt.

She's going to be fine this time around... They are setting her up right.. Now that Bruno Mars is successful, Atlantic knows what to do and will follow suit

Frank Ocean's Swim Good is a sick song and is just as good as "Faster"

different strokes for different folks
