	Ms Brand New Home Owner	..I definitely understand where you are comin from....I respect tht you want to be there for your kids.....I really dont think you should retire though.....U just started in the game we really need more of that wonderful music for many more years to come.....I have a suggestion...I think that you should take a break and raise your babies....... They will not always be babies so they are going to be grown up one day...Therefore you just continue to write that beautiful music and even if you have to give it to us one single at a time that would be nice.....All Im saying is dont completely quite us.....You already have us addicted to your music baby..Its something to think about.....Love you lyfe with a "y" :)..   Posted by Ms Brand New Home Owner on Thursday, October 01, 2009 - 3:04 AM [Reply to this]

	Reign FFXI Fan	First off, I would like to commend you on your decision to stay at home with your children. You have had enough success and made enough money that you can take a break to raise your family. You will never get this time back with them. You get kudos for that! =) Secondly, I must tell you... I CANNOT wait for this album. You're music is so true. So inspirational. So heartfelt. So real. You have changed the music industry. I know this album will be just as good as all the others; I have no doubt. I still jam your past CD's from beginning to end...they are the best music R&B has seen in a long time. Having said that, you should know I will be standing at Best Buy on the Release Date!!! Wishing you all the best, hun! Take care of those babies! (they're always our babies... no matter how old they get.) ..   Posted by Reign FFXI Fan on Thursday, October 01, 2009 - 5:10 PM [Reply to this]

	D.Foster™ Dexter Foster	....When I seen this i was so excited that yu were coming out with a new album because i have bought your other 3 and of course fell in love with them. i as a fan will be truly dissapointed i understand you have a family, but that is why you came in this game, you have to learn at least how to balance out your life because this is your job, your career. i am only 15 years old and i am sure as hell not telling you what to do, i just want you to know that the music you have made has changed me into a better person, i have "sanged' your songs to plenty of my friends and they can just feel the soul in my voice when i sing them. i will of coursee buy this album and i really hope you retire later than sooner. god bless you && your kids.....   Posted by D.Foster™ on Wednesday, October 07, 2009 - 2:15 AM [Reply to this]
