I watched bits and pieces of the show. Why alot of it fell in2 typical award show ground, some of the performances (Alicia Keys, Rihanna + Ne-Yo) were good. And even if i didn't choose all of the winners as my favorite artists, most of the winers are good artists deserving of an award. That country performance with Beyonce waz awful. Beyonce sounded great, but that performance only stregthened me dislike of country music...ha ha. What a way 2 destroy a song.

MARIAH CAREY - Make It Happen Greatest Hits (1991/2001) Man, this takes me back. R.I.P. David Cole.

Wow! I'll do some research on it. When i read that it waz an album that waz previously unrleased, i waz thinkin' it waz much more current.

I saw that the album was said 2 be a shelved album but didn't know if it waz true. It all sounds fresh 2 me. Either way, good music.

It's hard 2 imagin that that place used 2 be visited equally between this board. So sad...

Nasty?....nah...CLASSIC!! TOBYMAC - Irene Momentum (2002)

Yeah, unless he's put out a mixtape, remix album, or compilation album, i don't want the track included. It makes no sense 2 put it on a new album. Besides, one things that's cool about the rare trax is that they're...uh....rare.

Since i'm no expert on dance music...i'm finding out that maybe i've misunderstood the genre...ha ha. I always thought Trance waz a trippier version of dance music....but some of this is just straight Dance music...club music, Hip-Hop with a dance edge or just straight dance Pop.

BOYZ II MEN + BRIAN MCKNIGHT - End Of The Road Motown: A Journey Through Hitsville, USA (2007)

I can't say i have any real knowledge when it comes 2 trance music. I love dance and club must...but my taste in it is broad...not really in the subgenres of dance music.

Thanx...i'm looking for the actual album tho.'

In only caught the 1st episode and i liked it, tho' it pained me 2 see them fighting...and where is Spin? Anyways, i waz gonna catch the marathon when it ends and set my DVD Recorder. ALICIA KEYS - Superwoman As I Am (2007)

"Yo! Home To Bel-Air" is The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air Theme. Ale posted the remix that appears on The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air Soundtrack. 2 my knowledge, it only appeared as a bonus track on the Japanese version of Code Red. "Family Christmas" was on a 12" single but never a bonus track on an album. However, we i 1st came across "Family Christmas" on CD, it waz until 1999. It was on an incredibly random Japanese compilation album caled Avex The Album which features almost all Japan pop stuff that u can't understand and a few random Christmas songs. About the same time, it popped up on a Christmas compilation album called Black Christmas (and on another version of the Black Christmas series). The original release of Homebase didn't have the Mr. Lee Remix of "Ring My Bell" (except for a limited amount...which one of my best friends at the time had...which made jealous...ha ha). At the later end of the release, they all had the bonus remix. Moving on to the solo stuff, there were a few versions of Big Willie Style. Europe's version has the Trackmasters Remix of "Just Cruisin." Another version has 3 JJ+FP trax on it. I can't remember which ones but i think it was "Girls..., Summertime, and Boom!." CDnow had a version up forever tht said it had the bonus tracks "Lean Left, Lean Right" and Round And Round" which was a mistype that lead many of us in2 confusion (i ordered like 6 copies of that version, e-mailing them everytime that they sent me the wrong version. Various import versions of Born To Reign had "Nothing On My Mind" which could only be found in the US at Best Buy. Various import versions of Lost + Found had "Coming To The Stage." Another had "Coming To The Stage" and "We Won't"...and the Japan version has "Coming To The Stage," "We Won't," and "Chosen One." And that limited version of The Return of The Magnificent has that bonus joint with Biz Markie (that i can't find anywhere).

Waz that actually on an album? I only thought that waz on a single...and a compilation album that had nothing 2 do with JJ+FP.

Yeah, i like it. I mean, he's totally jacking T-Pain's style and abusing the vocoder, but it's still dope. His verse is the "meat" of the song on my opinion. I kinda wish he only sung the chorus and rapped the rest of it. I like Snoop alot, even if half of his subject matter is stuff i don't relate 2 or really support (especially more as an adult). In fact, most of his music falls in the "good but average" area when it comes 2 it's grade. After 15 years of consistant success, u gotta give him props. I support new things. The beat is good, the vocals are experemental, and an overall good effort.

When it comes 2 the Japan release of JJ+FP albums, in most cases they didn't get much. I have a re-release of Rock The House from Japan and the only bonus track is the "Girls..." instrumental. The only other album that i can remember is Code Red getting "Yo! Home To Bel-Air" as a bonus track. I THINK Germany is the only country that got The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air soundtrack. And Japan's Greatest Hits has is one of 4 versions of the JJ+FP Greatest Hits album....Japan's is the only one that got "Don't Fight The Feeling" (the biggest JJ+FP find that we've had in the last 5 years). Some of this info may be a bit off...4give me for any memory mistakes...ha ha. If anyone is really worried about what version has what, i can look it up upon request.

This is a request for one of my best friends. Her nephew, who is only 7 years old, and who is a special needs child, was taken 2 the hospital nearly 2 weeks ago. His health was pretty good except for occasional stomach problems that weren't very serious. Well, the team at the hospital wanted to try something to fix the problem from happening again. Whatever they did gave him 2 very serious stomach infections that are life-theatening. The put him in a coma state until they could "make things better." His been in this coma-state for nearly 2 weeks and as u can imagin, the family has been going thru' all kinds of emotional strain and stress. There have also been days where things got "very bad." At this time, i'd like 2 ask for their comfort and wisdom...and most imporantly the recovery of the child.

CLASSIC! Love that song! I think she said in an interview that that song waz her favorite song on that album back then...i agree. ALICIA KEYS + USHER - If I Ain't Got You (Remix) The Diary of Alicia Keys (Import) (2003)

I waz actually listening 2 her Live album earlier 2day. Erykah Badu is amazing. I respect her artistic choices, but 2 me, her 1st album will always be classic...her best. Her last album waz good, but her altering style interests me less compared 2 her hay day. 1996 thru' 1997 waz truely her time. I still look forward 2 the album tho'. Thanx 4 sharing, i had no idea she waz coming back. On a similar note, they re-released her 1st album as a 2-disc set, the 2nd disc featuring remixes and stuff. I'm hoping 2 get that for Christmas.

I'd love 2 see the album get alot of buzz and success...even if it waz enough 2 have her consider a major label and a re-release. Theses days we need as many talented artists accepted in the mainstream as possible. And it seems like in some aspects, some listeners are demanding more from artists.

I got the same impression.

Great song, beautiful pic on the page...i can't wait. It's been almost 10 years. Long overdue for the next album!

Who cares...give me an album.

That's awful. My prayers go out 2 the family.

Well, i made the mistake of getting Maximum TLC....featuring the same kinda stuff: short interviews (most of them were audio ripped off Home Video releases and TV shows), inaccurate info, annoying narrorators, and cheaply produced music in the background. I waz mad cuz i sent crazy money 2 get it (as it waz impossible 2 find in the US at the time). The other unathorized TLC interview CDs i had were really good but this one SUCKED. I passed on the Maximum Will Smith CD until i found a brand new copy for only $2 or $3 a year or 2 after it came out in a record store that waz going out of business. I warned the board when it came out. It's funny 2 see how many of us have this piece-of-crap CD. I just may listen 2 it 2nite if i wanna put myself in a bad mood.
