that while I could easily do without Missy and Kim on it, "Let It Go" just may sport the most perfect lady r-n-b singing performance that I've heard in a looong while. So just off of your voice alone, Keyshia Cole...I love you.

    This record is hott, and I like both Li'l Kim and Missy on it--sounds like it could have come out ten years ago, and they just add to that vibe.

    First time I heard it, I really did think it was some record I'd slept on in 1997.

    It took me a minute to get past being annoyed by Missy in order to really hear Keyshia. Of course this gets played on the radio a million times a day down here, so I've had plenty of chance by now to RECOGNIZE THE REAL.

    I concur.

    I secretly like it because hearing a record like this one the radio makes me feel like I'm twenty again.

    hot record indeed, and the ladies seem to like it. this is the most recent record to get requested shortly after i already played it!

    I don't think so.

    I believe this has already been discussed, but real heads know that it's pronounced Keyshia Coles, regardless of whether her name actually has an "s" in it.

    Hah! Yes - funny you say that, and I'm not sure if this is how you mean it exactly, but the first time I heard it I turned it up and thought "I must have missed this from a few yrs back when I was rejecting radio r&b"

    My mind is much more open now.

    Oh shit--I heard a dude at the store say that just last night ("last night!"). Bobby was part of a roll call, along with Frankie Beverlies and Lurry Grahams (I believe the topic was "Real Singers, Godammit!"). Distinguished company, no doubt.

    But, yeah, that throwback musk is strong. I heard the Kayshuh song in a cab the other day, and it felt like I was getting my heart broken in a slightly upscale mall, or perhaps just outside of one. The emotional landscape of shook ones who won't say "love" and so end up hollering shit like "But I want to be with you!" in the direction of some leaving taillights. So real. Great song.

    Because it seems distantly relevant on a couple fronts: I do not know which aspect of Biggie's "One More Chance" video I find more strangely alluring: a) the gap in Missjones's front teeth or b) the short girl from Zhane curled up on a couch in a nylon tracksuit.

    I think I was recently privy to this exact conversation at my barbershop, which then progressed to a real stumper: name some duets between male solo vocalists.

    they don't have to be good ones, right? cause there's To All The Girls I've Loved Before, Ebony and Ivory and The Girl is Mine...

    Probably not what they meant, but there's countless reggae singer/deejay disco versions.

    Edit - Big Jay McNeely and Little Sonny - "What A Fool"

    huh? this song is a snooze fest...although its enjoyable for about 3 seconds when missy jumps on and says "they gonna mix it with biggie it was all a dream'".

    How you were able to properly identify what I consider to be the absolute worst part of the song as your favorite is uncanny.

    Man, thats crazy... "Love" was the first time I was ever impressed by her voice

    I liked "Let it Go" but it got played it for a me a while back... around when I started to notice that annoying keyboard part when Kim's rappping (sorry if I'm causing anyone to pay attn to this for the first time)

    me too
    in fact i remember the first time i heard it on the radio and they didn't identify the song or artist (i hate that!). so i sang my own fucked up rendition to my voice notes on my cell phone so as i could remember how it went and took the lyrics to a google search that came up empty. fortunately, i posted on the board asking who is that girl that goes "LOOOO-O-OVE I DIN'T KNOW WHAT I WAS MISSSEEENG BUT I FOUND OU OUOUUOUOUUT" and i believe it was the one guzzo who clued me in.

    so did anybody watch her BET reality show?

    around '85 or '86, spin magazine asked miles davis who hed been listening to...he rattled off a litany of then-current soul acts, including "George Dukes"

    Not counting duos like Sam & Dave?

    As I sit here, the ones I can think of are a little on the obscure side (do you think anybody other than record collectors know that Hank Ballard and Little Willie John did a duet?). How 'bout that 45 that Isaac Hayes & David Porter did in 1972, "Ain't That Loving You For More Reasons Than One?" A minor hit at the time, never heard on dusties shows nowadays...
