Most of her ballads are so incredibly forgettable. I can think of maybe 5 tops that I can tell apart from all the rest lol. And it's not just that they all sound so much alike, but the fact that they all feel so soulless and she just doesn't have the vocal chops for a ballad.

And Linoa62, I feel like you took my post a little too much to heart and too literally. I've been a big fan of Jolin for over 10 years; in fact, if you scroll back up this page, I posted just a couple posts back about how much I appreciated that she really cares about her music. I realize that forgettable, mundane, generic ballads are just part of the territory, Jolin's music being C-pop and all. I wasn't trying to make a serious jab at her, but I do stand by what I said: considering, for me, MUSE was by far her worst album and took the longest to produce, I don't think her work right now is justifying the length of time it's taking to get out.
