Sorry I had to turn off after
You're like... Ice
I-C-E
Feels so.... nice"

Jesus Christ, what has happened to good lyrics? Am I so unhip I haven't realised they're no longer a la mode??

Disappointing, ok for just an album track but not as a single, the lyrics ain't great, Lil Wayne's rap didnt impress me either, I don't think the song goes anywhere, the beat is good and that's about it.

I like it. Obviously, it's not as good as 'Motivation', but it might be a grower. So sexy.

This is so unremarkable. Kelly really needs to step up her game, "Here I Am" was so uninspired and faceless; I don't want a collection of 2nd rate demos this time.

I enjoy the album but I agree, it could have been anyone singing the tracks and I would have enjoyed it just as much. But how much can she really step up her game? Kelly just screams 'uninspired' and '2nd rate' to me.

Okay, after a few spins I gotta say that I REALLY like it now. It's a grower and it just sounds soooo nice & sexy (like ice). :o

I really like it. As some of you said, it's clearly more an album track than a single material. :-?

The lyrics are awful but the beat is fire, and Lil Wayne's verse is almost as cool as Motivation's one. :D

Urban radios will eat this up.

Hmm true. She has her great-ish moments (Still In Love..., Work, Can't Nobody etc), but a lot of her material has had a lack of character.

I think she should stop trying to pander to urban radio with this album, and also pick a sound and stick to it. No more generic R&B with the odd dance track here. Her last album could have easily been by Keri Hilson or half of the aspiring R&B chicks.

That's why she is such a disappointment for me. All this potential she has is hardly ever displayed. She's too far in the game to be 'finding herself' or still 'stuck in Beyonce's shadow'.

The thing is she isn't in Beyonce's shadow because

the Rowland brand is strong enough... the material is the let down. She has a fanbase!

Urgh... Lil' Wayne sounds horrible in it.
It's a nice track, but I don't think this will pull a Motivation.

Kelly sist WAIT....

I actually love the final version! :o I just wish the choruses weren't that 'empty'. Not here for Wayne's random verse though.

I was really meaning from her fans perspective primarily. The sexy slow jams are not the way to go IMO. I think it was pretty much a fluke it did well in the US as after it did, it seemed like Kelly was right back to square 1.

She does have a fanbase but I'm just wondering if that fanbase is faltering especially as that 'underdog' moniker is fading.

For me (although that is the most 'generic seeming' type of music around) she does the dance based songs best. She has a voice which does cater to power dance anthems, I could imagine her just making it a bit more funky i.e. 'Show me Love' etc. She hasn't suited a song better in recent times than When Love Takes over and also What a Feeling.

I just don't feel this ' Hey look I'm sexy now' type of vibe she throws in your face on these 'slow jams' its a cringe.

I totally agree with you! She just has to know her zone and execute it well, since she does have a following.

I love love love this! Her vocals are adorable. To me it's more sensual than "sexy" as everyone seems to be calling it. Superb R&B record!
