24K has the music to back it up. What has killed it is the lack of promotion and her fans who can't get over the demos or get over the fact that the album has actually done well critically.

I have to disagree, I don't think 24 Karat Gold actually has any hits. It's an awesome album but it's basically a collection of demos and throw-away songs that were re-recorded. It's literally the closest thing you can get to a "fan album" per definition -- a collection of songs that only fans ever knew or cared about. Plus, to quote Stevie, she was trying to "make a good album, not a hit record" (paraphrasing). On the other hand, Rooms on Fire, Two Kinds of Love, Whole Lotta Trouble, Planets in the Universe and Sorcerer are quite well-known. At least here.

Sad TISL didn't get good word of mouth. That album is flawless. I don't know why you call me crazy though, haha. Don't take my opinion of the album as a personal attack? :P
