Stuttering is everything.
I have a funny story about Jasmine Sullivan.
So I currently live in Philly, and Jasmine is from Philly. She also does a lot of her recording here, I'm told.
Anyway, when I first moved to Philly years back, I got a job as a server in the Center City (downtown area of Philly).
One night, on like a Tuesday, I'm asked to take a to-go order from the kitchen to the lobby of the restaurant for a guest waiting to pick up. No biggie.
Anyway, as I round the corner from the dining room and come into the lobby, I see a woman standing there in a dark green trench-coat and a long, glorious weave. Like, you could tell it was the good, expensive shit. Even from the back. Dark black, waves for days.
As I approach her, the woman turns around, and it's Jasmine Sullivan.
This was the same year "Need U Bad" was slaying the airwaves, but she still wasn't super well-known outside of R&B fans, and I guess she was hungry, which was why she was picking up her own food.
Anyway, I almost completely lost my shit, but I managed to contain myself enough to only blurt out, "OMG! Are you Jasmine Sullivan!?" Rude, I know, but I was completely blindsided. It took all I had to not just queen out.
And I'll never forget it: Here I am, super excited, goofy ass smile on my face, and Jasmine looks me dead in the eye, completely black expression, and is just like, "NOPE! Is that my food?"
I felt so stupid. I mean, I KNEW it was her. In my head I was like why is she lying to me? ;__;
Told her yeah, that was her food. She grabbed the bag, and without another word, walked right on out the restaurant.

Take you high from Kelly Clarkson is pretty awesome. I mean, it sorta starts off as a corny ballad almost to the point of sounding Christmassy, but then the fucking chorus punches you in the gut and turns it into an epic dubstep track. Not the shitty 'bass drop throw the turntable on the floor beep boop' dubstep either, but the euphoric hands in the air dubstep. Just great.
(although I wish the bass itself was a little more pronounced)

Jazmine Sullivan's album is pretty good tbh.
What? She's got a new album out?
Yep, it's been out for over a month now.
Pure fire.
The definition version of the song.

The album art for Kelly Clarkson new album is terrible. Jesus christ, it's giving Blackout and Hard Candy a run for their money.

It reflects what I've heard of the album pretty well. TRASH.
Take You High is lovely however.

Yes, take you high <3. Run run run is also quite good. I haven't heard the rest though.
Blackout is great though, so never just judge an album by its cover.

Tbh, My Prerogative is the only song of his I know.
Like Chris Brown in the mid 2000s?
Nothing wrong with that, it was his biggest hit.
Well, yeah. Kinda exactly like that, actually.

That's the one. I don't do alternate covers, but if I did, I'd use this one.
This does not account for the publishing schedule, which is the difference between All The Man That I Need and Someday for me.

Not completely on the same subject but.... I'm not sure how I feel about Rihanna tying Mariah's most top 10 radio songs record recently. Although I guess I'm glad it's Rihanna instead of some of the other current trash that's out there.
