 At this stage of the game, after Melissa Etheridge's nearly 20 years in the big-time music biz, eight studio albums, chart-topping singles, endless videos, and live and greatest-hits packages (not to mention world tours), her fans are either going to go for it or they're not.

But even though "Just Like You" doesn't match the raw, anthemic power of her 2005 debut, "The Way It Is," Cole's a singer to be reckoned with, particularly in an urban market saturated with imitators. Scorned women are her muse, and with help from guests like Missy Elliott, T.I., Diddy, and Anthony Hamilton, Cole brings the turbulence of troubled relationships to vivid life.
