Advantages: Upbeat and funky Disadvantages: Brought it out too soon? (more on that later!)
...on the part of the record companies, but it's ripping off fans and it's just not right as far as I'm concerned.
Anyway, back to the album itself. Now, I know some people have thought that her first album "Drama" was the superior album, but I would definitely go with this as my favourite. Apart from "Money", "Boy Next Door" "Call me" and "Room 101", I found Drama a bit of a bland album. But I like every single track on this album. Every track has something good about it, there's a great energy emanating all the way through, and you could dance to the full thing. There's also cameos from Rah Digga, Asher D from So Solid Crew and, most impressively, Bubba Sparxxx
Here is the track listing on the original album:
1. Bout (featuring Rah Digga)
2. Off Da Endz feat Asher D
3. Taxi
4. ThankYou
5. Dirty Dirty
6. B.I.T.C.H.
7. Superstar

Advantages: Released singles are good Disadvantages: The rest of it isn't
..., unsurprisingly, with the fantastic pop single that is ‘Superstar.’ This has to be one of the best pop singles to be released in recent years. I think that I’m right in saying that it had one of the longest stays in the Radio One Top 40 for at least a year. It is a brilliant tune; catchy guitar tune, deep bass beats and sing-a-long vocals which are all perfectly matched and honed to make everybody want to dance. Fantastic. 9/10
It seems that things are continuing in a good vein as ‘ThankYou’ immediately follows. I like this song, although not as much as ‘Superstar’ and it shows some similar features to ‘Superstar,’ such as a strong bass line and catchy tune. I think the lyrics and vocals are marginally better on this track however, as they tell of Jamelia’s suffering in her marriage and how everything that her husband put her through has only...

Advantages: Funky, Often Inspired, Brilliant Vocals Disadvantages: Some Tunes Let Jamelia's Talent Down
...--------------Who Is Jamelia? --------------
Well she is the R n B singing sensation from my home town Brum. Which adds to her appeal for me! In the late 90’s she had a big hit with Money, and a critically acclaimed debut album Drama. She went away for a while to have a little baby and get married. Very sadly, the two got divorced because of some domestic violence. So Jamelia left, got back to recording and released the successful and extremely catchy ‘Superstar’ now her music career has been going from strength to strength, having many more hits, and singing ‘Stop’ on the soundtrack to Bridget Jones Diary: The Edge Of Reason one of the biggest hits, in 2004.
-------------- What Album Is This? --------------
This is ThankYou, her second album. Which boasts the singles, Superstar, ThankYou, DJ. See It In A Boy’s Eyes, Taxi...
