I know what the chart says but what is your take on the Beyonce/Sasha/Kiesha (whatever her name is) new CD. Everyone I know says that they were highly disappointed because there were only maybe 2 songs that listen too.

I’ll wait to see what you have to say before I spend money on I am Kiesha/Sasha/Beyonce….LOL

Now, is it just me or is it ridiculous to call it a double-disc when it’s only ELEVEN SONGS!?!?! Man, that’s a waste of shiny plastic. And I have to agree with “everyone else,” as Ms STL puts it: there’s really only a couple songs that I like from what I heard on her MySpace page. I guess we’ll have to wait for the Extended-Super-Collector’s-Limited-Deluxe Version to drop…

I didn’t want to like the project…but I THINK that I do.
And “Single Ladies” is undeniable it seems.
