Play voted just for "JIll Scott" so I presume it's this album and not The Vault that was also eligible.

This was at the lower end of my top 20. She's never beat her debut album IMO. The singles from this album have been fantastic though!

"Heaven" was my #7, it's a great album from start to finish. Rebecca's vocals and the production are so well done. I'd probably rank it a bit higher now as it's gotten better with time.

"Killer Love" was my #17. I loved the singles, but after waiting so long I expected more than simply 'nice' album tracks. "Good For The Soul" is my #10, a great soul debut (bar her covers album) from the young singer.

I haven't heard any of the other albums, but I've loved the singles from Aloe and Beverly.

Rebecca was my number seven.
Jill was my number five.
Dionne was my number four, I've just been listening to it actually and it's grown on me even more than when I voted for it. Her tone and phrasing is so gorgeous, I really hope she doesn't just disappear.

Ah, Jill was my #2, incredible soul album. Shame it's been so overlooked, including here

I wish I hadn't wasted my time listening to "Tha Carter IV", it's the most boring, repetitive album I've probably heard. Awful.

"How To Love" was so promising back then so I decided to get the album and "Mirror" ended up being the only other track that I really liked. The others were bland, but considering it was lacked of great Urban releases last year, it still made it into my votes.

Tha Carter IV is far from being a masterpiece but "How To Love" and "Mirror" are pretty fantastic.

I thought it was actually not that bad. I went from loving it, to being completely bored of it then back to liking it. There's definitely fillers that need to be skipped though. I'd rate it a 7/10.

Both Jennifers' albums are pretty good, nothing standout though (well, except J.Lo's "On The Floor" - and that's not even R&B).

Prediction:
1/2. Beyonce
1/2. Kanye & Jay
3. Bruno Mars
4. Drake
5. Mary J. Blige
6. Rihanna
7. Amy Winehouse
8. Chris Brown
9. Jessie J
10. Kelly Rowland

Keri Hilson: Her debut was WAY better but NBA does have some of her best songs.
J-Hud: Just too mediocre, I found it very hit and miss.

Top 4 will probably be Beyonce, Jay-Z & Kanye, Mary J and Drake in that order.

F.A.M.E. was my #2. It's a great R&B/Pop record. Far from his best and actually I'm barely jamming to its songs nowadays anymore. Still, glad it won Best R&B Album at the Grammys.
