Editorial Review:
Jamelia is the hottest R&B artist in the UK. Just 18 years old, she's already worked with C-Swing, Prima, Rory Bennet and K-Ci & JoJo. This track teams Jamelia with Beenie Man andhas been described as 'the 'Bohemian Rhapsody' of R&B'. Tracks 'Money' feat.
Money Reviews:
Those Were The Days... 
2006-11-23 - This song was the highpoint of a long-ago era; the days when what you saw was literally what you got with Jamelia, and you didn't see through the increasingly fake veneer of "not just doing this for paper".
The album from which this came, as a whole was groundbreaking in UK R&B in my opinion. From start to finish I was totally glued to it. Smooth, powerful and creepily expert vocals in a girl so young.
Clearly the standout track though, 'Money' is just too infectious a masterpiece to ignore! If I remember rightly, it did not go to the top of the mainstream charts, which I thought was an utter travesty. I think it was the grounding for her future releases though. Jamelia saw that the authentic, core roots of her music were not going to be the golden ticket that would keep her popular with the guys handing out recording contracts.
It's SUCH a shame that THIS Jamelia didn't return after her career-break(s), instead of the vain chart-chaser we're stuck with now.
Jamelia u so fine girl
2003-09-22 - Oh My God Jamelia girl you so fine you blow my mind to space you r so fit in your new single with that mini skirt oh yeah and your baking dancers in your video are fine as well.
Close your eyes & be carried away 
2000-05-13 - R&B isn't my genre of choice. But while recently traveling in Austria, my television viewing was limited to what would *mostly* be in English. My eye was caught first when I saw the video. A visual feast. It wasn't until I'd seen the video several times I really began to listen to this song. Unbelieveable. The typical R&B beat fused with bits of operetta. Awe-inspiring. Listen to the lyrics. With lines such lines as "I came here with my own things, and I can leave the same way" today's all-too materialistic society is challenged. This is a song that you'll be singing to yourself long after you've last heard it.
True to Life
2000-03-11 - The first time I heard the song I had to listen again, and again, and again. It was so refreshing and the fusion with Reggae Artist Beenie Man from Jamaica gave the song a freshness not heard in a long time.
Good luck Jamelia and Beenie Man.
MINDBLOWING...
2000-03-06 - Intoxicating... This has to be the most creative piece of music I have heard yet! The fusion of rap and opera choirs results in an ATOMIC combination.. Who is JAMELIA and why isn't she cutting more Albums?
