    I'm getting sick of this album's demand. There are more albums to demand but the hell, this album is the most demanded. Stop demanding this album and search more Chaka Khan's albums.

      That demand overtaking collected records must be a joke, there are more albums of this singer. Why the hell You don't demand the other albums? Please stop demanding this album.
