a side from the singles LEAVIN FOR LA, STILL IN LOVE and NEXT TO YOU are the only songs I really really love on that album and they are all DA production if I'm not mistaken, where as I still feel like I have to sit trough THNGS I COLLECTED, YOU ARE THE ONE and GIVE IT A TRY which should al be TK productions.
Interesting. Yeah, the Tour made me like the album a little more. I tend to skip the song’s you mentioned, they’re not bad songs, just not to my taste. Things I collected and give it a try are pretty boring for me too tbh. You are the one is ok, but I also tend to skip it if I’m not in the mood for it, though I really like the live version. I tend to listen to or watch the live version of Genius 2000 way more than the studio album, I do like the singles from this album though. But then again I like listen to lives more than studio recordings in general. Studio arrangements tend to feel a little flat or boring to me once I’ve heard a good live arrangement. Totally agree about break the rules. Weird tour, but still fun to watch and it was kind of a blending of her styles up until that point.

Also I think me liking TK’s stuff more than DA is just due to the number of songs they produced for her. TK did a lot more with her so there’s just a higher number of songs I like, bc there are definitely some of his songs I find really boring or badly composed/arranged. Some of the songs on Sweet 19 Blues, Private, Rainy Dance, I was a fool are so boring to me.
