The singles from her self titled album (except I could be the one) were really good and catchy. But "I'm Not Missing You" and "So Simple" were atrocious!

The only songs I liked by Stacie Orrico were "(There's Gotta Be) More To Life" and "I'm Not Missing You." I never got "stuck" on any of her other material.

#96. Fabolous
Biggest Hit of the 00s: Into You (featuring Tamia)
Biggest Album of the 00s: Street Dreams
Other Singles from the 00s: Can't Deny It (featuring Nate Dogg), Young'n (Holla Back), Trade It All (featuring Jagged Edge & P. Diddy), Make U Mine, Can't Let You Go (featuring Lil' Mo), Dip It Low (with Christina Milian), Breathe, Baby, Get Right (with Jennifer Lopez), Diamonds (featuring Young Jeezy), Make Me Better (with Ne-Yo), Baby Don't Go (featuring T-Pain) & Change Up (featuring Akon).
Biography of the 00s: John Jackson, better known as Fabolous, is a Grammy-nominated rapper of African-American and Dominican descent from Brooklyn who became a mainstream star after his debut single "Can't Deny It" (a remake of Tupac Shakur's "Ambitionz Az a Ridah" from All Eyez on Me) from 2001.
Fabolous' first popular single, "Can't Deny It", was released in late summer 2001. He was nominated for a Grammy Award for the first time in his career for his collaboration on the remix of Dip It Low by Christina Milian in 2004. His popularity later grew when he remade one of Tamia's hits called "So Into You" as Into You in 2003 along with Tamia.
Along with rapper Jay-Z, Fabolous was challenged by John Cena to a battle rap on WWE Heat prior to WrestleMania XIX. Both rappers declined, so John Cena came up and further "dissed" the two rappers with phony cardboard cutouts of the two (with Jay-Z featured as Austin Powers and Fabolous as Mini Me).
Fabolous is currently planning a clothing line released through the Rich Yung Society.
Fabolous was teamed with Nate Dogg to produce his first single Can't Deny It. The song charted in the Billboard Top 100, and the subsequent album, Ghetto Fabolous, achieved platinum certification. It reached #4 on the Billboard 200 with 143,180 copies sold and had three singles which charted on Rhythmic Top 40 and Billboard Hot 100 charts. The first of those singles is Can't Deny It which is produced by Rick Rock and features a chorus by Nate Dogg that alters lyrics from Tupac Shakur's song Ambitionz Az a Ridah. The other charting singles are Young'n (Holla Back) which is produced by The Neptunes and "Trade It All" which features vocals from Jagged Edge and is produced by DJ Clue and DURO.
Jackson released his second album Street Dreams on March 4, 2003. Powered by a Just Blaze beat and guest vocals from Lil' Mo and Mike Shorey, Can't Let You Go reached #1 on the Rhythmic Top 40 chart and #4 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart. Into You with Tamia also reached #4 on the Billboard Hot 100.
Jackson's third album Real Talk was released on November 9, 2004. It debuted at #6 on the Billboard 200 with 179,000 copies and had two charting singles, the lowest in his career. The two charting singles are Breathe and Baby. His second single was not promoted until weeks after the album's release. Making the video Do the Damn Thing cost Jackson $30,000. The song featured Young Jeezy, who became known to the public through this video In early 2006, Fabolous moved to Def Jam and left Atlantic Records who received Musiq in return.
His fourth studio album, From Nothin' to Somethin', was released in June 2007. Fabolous takes over the #1 spot on Billboard’s Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums and Top Rap Albums charts for the first time in his career and the album debuted at #2 on the Billboard 200, selling 159,000 copies in its first week and 266,000 worldwide. It is his first album on Def Jam Records. The first single and video, Diamonds features Young Jeezy who also appeared on the Real Talk album on Do The Damn Thing. Though Lil' Wayne had the original guest spot on Diamonds, Jeezy made the final cut. The second single Make Me Better features fellow Def Jam artist Ne-Yo. The third single is reported to be Baby Don't Go featuring T-Pain. Change Up featuring Akon is expected to be his 4th single.
Fabolous collaborated with Korean singer Se7en in his American debut single "This is My Year" which has been leaked on YouTube before the official release.

Don't really like Fabolous, but I really liked "Into You". I agree with Bryan about Fabolous. Jamelia had a few good songs. Superstar was a fun song when it was out. =0)

Big fan! One of my favorite Hip-Hop acts of the new millennium. I don't know "Change Up" or "Baby Don't Go." And I thought "Breathe" & "Baby" were just "all right." I loved all of his other releases, though...with "Can't Let You Go" & "Trade It All" being my favorites.
Sorry to say that I've never heard anything by Jamelia.
