It's just, like, perfect modern R&B to me... somehow it hits dead-center of a sweet spot

The EPs felt like terrible joyless trend chasing to me :(

:( is right!

not just trend-chasing but devoid of anything that made her seem like such a unique and singular presence when she was first releasing music
she looks great in that video though

i've been listening to Because I Love It a lot lately and that's just emphasised how disappointing those EPs were

I can’t believe you guys are listening to the same EPs as me!!(but I’ve gathered that my tastes don’t necessarily jibe with too many others on here, esp. when it comes to pop/R&B, so I won’t trip...)

"truly you are tripping" -- me at ilm every time this song wins a ballot poll

won the 05-09 poll and the 00s decade poll

it's fun to think about how much less appreciated this song would be if jennifer lopez had successfully pilfered it

guess she wasn't there when they called

I fn hate that cheap tinny sounding sample and the song has the bossy joylessness of enforced fun. The other terrible song of this era I hate is that one with Kelly Rowland and Nellie.

I’m pretty ILX hivemind-ey but ngl I struggle to get into this one? The beat’s amazing but the chorus is a little too annoying.. “shrill” is the word that comes to mind
I will hear no bad words about nelly and kelly rowland’s dilemma though

ooh I just remembered the Eve remix is a thing. Her verse is lots of fun

“Dilemma” is cool because they tried to send a text using Microsoft Excel in the video. People were really really stupid with technology back in the day.

I figured that's just how things were done in Nellyville.
But I just Googled this and found that it almost started a class war. https://www.buzzfeed.com/ikrd/nelly-kelly-rowland-excel

I find it shrill and clattery and ugly in a bad way. maybe it'll grow on me

This song is good & iconic but not my favorite of the rich Harrison x Amelie songs or rich Harrison songs proper .... as a song “get right” by jlo is better to me even if Amerie is obv >>>>
“Rollin down my face” by amerie is 🔥
