Wow she looked amazing at the Jonathan Ross Show!! :o

Really love her style and I absolutely love the blonde hair now! The interview is so much fun, I love her personality! :D

Her performance was very good too. She should do more performances of Talk That Talk! 8-)

She looked great on Jonathan Ross! I loved her performance and interview. I'm glad she addressed the whole "Cropover(Carnival)" thing. It's a culturally a Caribbean thing that can be seen in all her performances. Hopefully they'll stick with Talk that Talk for a while.

Good performance. Good vocals.
I have noticed though that her voice has gotten much deeper over the years (Ala Lindsay Lohan)

Probably from schmokin' dem cigarettes!

I've always wanted her to shoot an Africa-themed video and from the looks of it, this could FINALLY be it! :D

She should just wait till all of the current singles fade away, release WHYB, let it smash and then Roc Me Out. Then go away for 3 years.

Yes. Her albums are just going to get worse quality-wise if she keeps on rushing them. Maybe not for 3 years, but at least a year.

I would say after this era she could better focus on just collabo's and actually try to be one of the main writers of one of her records, she is mostly added as last name as writer (on the songs she co-wrote), I would def. enjoy to see if she is able to write as much as possible.
Some time off would be good for her, I agree, 3 years would be drastic, but like you said around a year could be good.
Also some time off could make some good and fresh changes imo.

Quite disappointed with the way this era is being handled :-?

After WFL it's gone downhill. ''You Da One'' was the wrong choice, and it had an awful video.

Then Talk That Talk should've smashed, but instead they didn't give it a video :-?

Being honest I don't think this album should have ever happened. A Loud re-release would have been perfect. She could have added a few of the Talk That Talk songs on to it and released 'We Found Love' and 'Where Have You Been' as the singles.

If I am honest, I feel this album should have come out, but not on the date it came out, she should have taken her time with it, the whole TTT era seems rushed and messy.
They could get so much from this album, but some things feel all over the place, the way they threated certain things.

This! Would have been way better overall, those songs aren't that far off the sound of 'Loud' that it wouldn't of worked.

Everyone needs to calm down lol. This is a brilliant album, and has produced one of her biggest singles ever! So the second single failed and they're questioning the third single! These things happen. They've chosen Where Have You Been, and it's the right one.

I agree, I think Where Have You Been will turn things around for this.
