Bobby Valentino Preps Sophomore CD... and Is Convinced It's A Special Occasion

| 183 Comments

Atlanta was on fire this past weekend with the NCAA Men's Final Four. The peeps at Disturbin Tha Peace invited Soulman down to ATL to kick it and get a closer look as Bobby Valentino ramps up for the release of his new cd Special Occasion due out May 8th.

Soulman took his camera crew backstage at Ladies Night @ Center Stage this past Friday where Bobby performed with Ludacris, Lloyd, Fabolous, T-Pain and a few others in honor of the ladies of Atlanta.


Bobby even reunited with his original group MISTA to sing the cult favorite "Blackberry Molasses."


On Saturday we all became a part of Ludacris' 41 person entourage for his performance at Centennial Park where he performed for about 15,000 screaming fans.

To help Bobby get it crackin' Luda had him come out and introduce his new single "Anonymous" thats been bubbling.


Bobby & Luda performing "Anonymous"


From recording sessions, kickin it with Lloyd, cd signings, returning to Clark Atlanta University to answering tough questions like "Bobby Valentino who cares?" or "Why does 'Anonymous' sound like 'My Love'? Or why did you jump on the Timbaland bandwagon.. we got it all.



Warming up at studio before laying vocals.

Bobby even gets real when I ask him about his cocky ass attitude.... all of which we filmed and will run on right here on SOHH.com.


But for now... this blogger is happy be back in NYC where the streets smell like garbage and the white folks stay out ya way.

LMAOOOOO!

Soulman you ain't even right!

My sister and her lil entarouge were part of those 15 screaming ass fans. She seems to like Bobby V but she did say that the song he sang sounded like My Love...lol You ain't right.

But I am going to try my damnedest to listen to it!

Whud up with the new Rhianna? I have a few peeps that say she is sitting on another gold mine, what you think? I have not even heard the new single - I am way behind.

My bad Luda - that would be 15,000 screaming ass fans...

KSH-

That new Rihanna, "Umbrella" is a hit. She got Jay on it of course. I will send it to you.

I wish Bobby V well because "Anonymous" is a hit, and if that is a hint of what's to come from "Special Occasion" then the album will become a hit on its own merit than by support of Ludacris (i.e. first album)...

Nevertheless, people should not blame Bobby because "Anonymous" sounds similar to "My Love" and "Icebox". Blame Timbaland, the producer, for lack of creativity. I never understood the hype to "My Love" when "Anonymous" sounds way better lyrically and vocally - even "Icebox" sounds better.

SIDE BAR - Why is that I keep picturing Usher singing "Anonymous" but making the song sound even hotter? Any thoughts?

Doesn't Bobby sound like Usher on "Anonymous" but not as convincing?

Waddie-

While I was down there, I did hear more of the album and it is pretty solid.

He remakes that song by Babyface that goes.... "I'll pay your rent, I'll but your clothes... I'll cook your dinner too... soon as I get home from work."

What was good to see is that Bobby makes his own heat and doesn't cling to the Luda connection.

I love Bobby V. He may come off as cocky but shit i know a ton of guys that are even cockier than him for no good reason! At least Bobby's been grinding for 10 years and i'm sure he's faces rejection and what not. But why are we so quick to judge him anyway? It's not like we know him personally and does it matter? Its not like we're going to live with him. He's offering us his musical talent and it's either we like it or we don't. I love turn the page by the way and anonymous is a summer hit.

KSH- that Rihanna song Umbrella is ok, I think if they push it hard enough on pop stations the teens will eat it up!

4 whatever reason...
Bobby just hasn't grown on me. Maybe it's just the curse of the "bobby thing" (i.e., bobby brown etc.) but musically he just doesn't do it 4 me. He never leaves me wanting 2 hear his next song.

My daughter likes him though.

Anyway, that Rhianna cut is nice. Jay's part really brings some extra flavor 2 it.

Soulman, can I get the new Rihanna?

I'd rather hear about Lloyd's Hot cd...I'll come back later.

Damn, I thought I was the only one feelin' "anonymous". Oh yeah and turn the page is still my jam.

Soulman:
Good looking out...don't have me lurking out round the email and then you are a no show...lol

But I PROMISE that I am going to give Bobby V a chance. My sister told me that she thinks he will be a good solid listen. But I am addicted to Lloyd & Musiq at the moment but I will give Bobby V one more chance!

Vanity & Dana:
Yeah my daughter was telling me about he Rhianna & Jay - she said she liked it a lot but I have not had time to sit down and listen to it. And since the po po's got me on lock down in Corp America - I can't download shit!

He got a Joint called "Let's Go" that is fire!!!!

What are you talking about? That Rihanna "Umbrella" song is annoying.

anonymous is that shit! I love it. I aint mad at bobby. do yo thing boy. shake the haters off.

I'm still not feeling the Anonymous track but I do like don't turn the page

That new rihanna song is fire and I don't even like rihanna at all,actually it's the first rihanna song that I actually like.

I'm not really a Bobby V fan but that damn song Anonymous is a dang hit and once you hear it, you end up singing it all day. oh yeah now that you mention it, it does sound like My Love, oh well.

Tameka Foster Expecting a Baby!

Photo: Filmmagic/Getty
The secret is out! Usher and Tameka are expecting a baby sometime before the end of the year. The couple will exchange vows in November according to Usher's publicist, but the publicist left out one small detail: Tameka is pregnant.

I got the word this morning from an upper level music industry source who has provided rock solid information to Sandrarose.com in the past. My inside source informed me that Usher and Tameka broke the news to Usher's mom and to Tameka's ex-husband, clothier Ryan Glover. Ryan and Tameka share custody of their three children. Their amicable divorce was finalized earlier this year.

Elaborate custom invitations have gone out to the private birthday party that Usher is throwing for his mom Jonetta Patton this weekend in Atlanta. The baby will be Jonetta's first grandchild. I'm told the invites are designed to look like Roman scrolls. Will Usher and Tameka use that occasion to make the official announcement about their bundle of joy? We'll soon find out!

Remember where you read this first! Once again, thanks and much respect to my inside source who always looks out for Sandrarose.com!


For the record, that new rihanna sounds like a casio beat gone wrong...it's kinda catchy though

u can hear it on youtube

Soul Man, you know I have love for you, but is Bobby V. your cousin or something lol? There have been just too many posts about his wack ass lately. He is garbage, I'm sorry. There is just no place for him in the game to me. this album is probably going to flop, because he has no buzz and his talent is mediocre at most. If he can make a hit out of the "My Love" Remix, then more power to him. Look at Omarion, neither of his albums have gone platinum.


Now that Timbaland is hot again, everyone wants to jump on that bandwagon. I'm sorry, it just doesn't work for everyone.


On the plus side, I heard all the tracks off Tim's new album, and I must say it is pure FIYAH!!!

FYI Omarion went platinum

does bobby know how to play the piano? I hate to say it but I think HE is about to be anonymous. Anonymous would be a good song for a viagra commercial or something. lol they should have put a bell in the song before the first verse. People wouldn't know if they were listening to a commercial or the regular radio.

Well I am a Bobby V fan and I love the song Anonymous!! Yes it does sound like My Love but then again what Timbaland song doesnt sound like the others except the ones he did for Missy and Aaliyah!! Justin's What Goes Around sounds like Brandy's Focus but nobody's talking about that!!! Anyway, I wish Bobby well!! As for Rihanna's new song, it is TRASH and it sounds like a thrown away Beyonce song!!!! Jay is wrong for being on that track!!!! He should go back into retirement if this is how he is going to do the game!!!

I AM A HUGE FAN OF BOBBY V AND HIS NEW SINGLE IS HOT AND I STILL PLAY TURN THE PAGE OVER AND OVER. I CANNOT WAIT UNTIL MAY 8TH! IT WILL DEFINITELY BE A SPECIAL OCCASION!! LUV YOU BOBBY!! ;-)

BOBBY!!! OOO MY GOSH YOU JUST HAVE TO LOVE HIM IW AS THERE @ CENNTINNEL PARK I WASALL THE WAY IN THE4 BACK HE DID A WONDERFUL JOB AND I AM SOO PROUD OF HIM I LOVE YOU SO MUCH BOBBY!! YOUR # 1 FAN MISHA & IF U DONT BELIVEV ME ADD ME AS A FRIEND & LISTEN TO MY VOICE COMMENTS!!!

I think "Anonymous" is hot! I agree that the beat has a familiar ring to it, but alot of Timb's tracks tend to be that way. Just like the Neptunes when they were hot. You could tell they produced a song within the first second. It's like the producer's signature. You can't hate on Bobby for that. I think he is definately doing his thing! He is a little cocky, but I think that is part of what makes him sexy. He is no overnight success, he is just confident. What is a man w/o that? I am a fan. :) Do you Bobby!

I'm also feelin the video for "Anonymous." I saw it on 106th & Park yesterday. It's mad sexy. However, I would have liked to see more in the shower scene. :)

I like the songs.. anonymous and turn the page... I know the album will be a success he takes it time to bang out good material... Bobby knows what he is doing.. He is making loooooong term music... (wink)

I love anonymous and turn the page so much. I think Bobby new album is going to have a lot of bangin tracks on it. I'm going to cop his new album when it drops. It's going to be off the hook.
