10. The Most With the Least (Inspired by Nnamdi Omesiete)
a. Beyonce
[over-promoting "4" by making new videos for old songs and re-releasing old songs (just do a re-release with new songs and we'll call it a day)]
b. Ashanti
[trying to come back with below average records (your better than that as a writer, get more flavours with new age writers e.g. Frank Ocean, Emeli Sandé est.)]
c. Madonna
[releasing a hurried-up record just to tour, pulling childish stunts on tour and taking a stab Lady Gaga 2 years after just to promote the MDNA]
d. Trey Songz
[there is no reason for him to be singing and selling records, no evolution, no art ... just sex, sex, sex and oh lets not forget nudity]
e. Ciara [Not to knock your hustle but we hear so much coming our way soon and then you release "Sweat" (really?!!!) and "Sorry" (sorry is a good song but you need great songs dear)]
f. Rita Ora
[... with all the hype, "ORA" is a colossal disappointment! the singles are very misleading cause they suck u into getting the massive disappointing record from this girl with great Vocal ability. With all the writers involved, its hard to comprehend why the songs sound so half-baked and repetitive. Rihanna would never release such a record so y'all know the difference btw Rihanna and Rita Ora)
g. Nelly Furtado
[I get the back to basics thing but to release such a highly disappointing record (The Spanish record is so much better and yet i don't Understand Spanish) after "Loose" is shocking cause say what you want about Loose being a sell out, its a classic album in my eyes. I get the i-want-to-write-all-the-songs thing but honey, it did not work. you need to re-release this album with help from DR. Luke, Calvin Harris, Max Martin, Timbaland, Diplo etc or else "The Spirit Indestructible" will be the next "Bionic")
