"I never really heard of Angie Stone before, but the other day I was watching VH1 soul, and saw I Wanna Thank Ya video and I loved it. Then I decided to buy her greatest hits album and now I love it! I am now a huge fan of Angie Stone and I plan to buy all her previous album.
My Favorites Are:
Wish I Didn't Miss You
Brotha
No More Rain (In This Cloud)
I Wasn't Kidding
I Wanna Thank Ya
Everyday
U-Haul
People should stop giving her bad reviews just because it's Copy-Protected. I had no problem getting it on my iPod."
Great Value

"Angie Stone is sorely underrated imo. She was one of many neo soul stars to pop up in the mid to late 90s. Lazy ears would most likely relegate her as an Erykah Badu or Jill Scott knock-off, but that would be disrespectful to all 3 artists. Each have their own individual style to bring to the table. It's obvious Angie's voice was seasoned by the church with it's Gladys Knight styled, honey to the ears tone. Most of her songs involve matters of the heart, but in an experienced and mature fashion. She's a grown woman so you won't find any cliched "love to love my baby" nonsense here.
The midnight smoldering Wish I Didn't Miss You, infectious Everyday, and "hand planted firmly on hip" sass of Bone 2 Pic (Wit U) deal with the downs of heartache. No More Rain (In This Cloud) delicately expresses the pain of having to let go of a sour relationship when the other person wants out. "So you want to live and to you I shall give/All the space that you requested/Hope you don't live to regret it/So you say you're in your prime/Baby, don't waste your time/Remember my love, it's only a thin line/(It's never too late)." The duets with Anthony Hamilton and Joe on Stay For a While and More Than a Woman show great chemistry. I'll spare you more detail on the other songs, but my personal highlight is Little Boy. Over a sleepy jazz production, Angie persuades a heartbreaker to let go of his fear of commitment and "taste what you've been missing" by learning to love. I told you it was for the grown and sexy. After a taste of Angie's best hits, be sure to check out the real thing on her albums."
Didn't know I was a fan until I saw her live

"I liked Angie Stone's songs, but sometimes it takes seeing a person live to realize just how much you appreciate that person's voice. I like to hear people sing live. That's when you can separate the studio singers from the bona fide singers. Angie Stone is as real as it gets. She stood up on the stage of Country Club Hills Theater last year and belted out song after song better than she did on the album. I watched men hold their heads up high when she sang "Brotha," but she sang a bunch of hits from this album that made me stand pretty much through the entire performance. "Pissed Off" is probably the happiest, angry song I've ever heard, and I definitely can relate to this one. "I Wish I Didn't Miss You" is another one. I think anybody who has weathered the storm of a bumpy relationship can vibe to at least a few of these songs. I hear a lot of singers do relationship songs, but I just can't connect with everybody. The lyrics have to be as good as the voice for it to be a success, and Angie Stone holds down both ends. She is at the top of my list of female R&B singers. If you haven't seen her live, do so a.s.a.p."
