She looks great! I’ll be celebrating my 30th Nov.29th…can’t wait to party!

I was there Melyssa was looking BANGING. I didn’t even know that was Rich Boy he couldn’t even get in at first lol. They had some more people there, actors and football players. And yes Nik is everywhere

@ Kammy, no doubt! lol

@ Bill, I watched the video and I’m still clueless. Whack as hell. I’m suprised you like it. I remember when I first heard that Switch joint some years back (I was really young) I thought it was a girl singing — until he said some stuff I know a woman wouldn’t say. Am I the only one?

James Ingram older brother was in that group as well (Switch)… I think his name was Phillip
Jermaine Jackson got them going, He wrote, produced and sung background on some of their songs
I personally Love the song “I Wanna Get Closer”

Bill Said:

Bill Said:
THAT’s Bobby DeBarge Singing…Bobby was (RIP) El DeBarge’s Big Brother…Bobby & Chico Debarge got busted Hustling and did like 10 years in Prison…Bobby died from AIDS that he contracted in Prison (sharing needles).

Bobby could sing Falsetto like no other man I ever heard…
Bobby was good friends with my brother (They played together in another group) and actually gave me a few Piano lessons when I was 7…..
Damm, I miss him !

Well as I’ve previously stated, I never thought Melyssa wass appealing at all. And Nik has always reminded me of a cartoon ant. I NEVER thought she was even CUTE for the least. She’s funny looking with a big nose, funny eyes and chiclets for teeth wrapped in bubble gum. Sorry. And Brooke who?

But Melyssa does look nice

@ Bill, Yeah, I know. I used to LOVE Debarge. They were the shiznit weren’t they? At one time they could have given the Jacksons a run for their money. Too bad. El and Chico have put out some nice solo albums though.

Bill, can we see a pic of you? I’ve always observed you from the sideline and I must say, I’m curious to know. Your online “intellect” turns me on….LOL! You got me wanting to sell bean pies and cut pork from my diet….

More Information on SWITCH
The Debarge family was Motown’s big family act after the Jacksons left, and spawned two groups Debarge and Switch. Switch had a string ful of hits but in my opinion there ballads were what really made stand the group stand out. Tracks like They’ll Never Be, I Call Your Name, Love Over & Over Again are seventies R&B at their finest. But the track that really does it for me is I Wanna Be Closer. Courtesy of Jermaine Jackson’s writing and producing talents , I Wanna Be Closer is a song that’s silky smooth and overflowing with romanticism. Bobby Debarge’s searing falsetto countered by Philip Ingram’s tenor/baritone made this a quiet storm staple and is serious need of a remake. My only complaint about the CD is it lacks Caling On All Girls but for $9.99 you get your money’s worth.

I Wanna Be Closer To This Collection, October 16, 2006
A Kid’s Review
Switch were an excellent group despite never making a major impact their music still remain a staple for R&B lovers. Songs like “There’ll Never Be” “I Call Your Name” & “I Wanna Be Closer” are timeless jams that still receive airplay to this day on the oldies stations. The album as awhole is a treat and it gives people who were fans of their major singles to become familiar with some of their lesser known songs. It’s not a full length album but this compilation is the closer you can become since most of their albums are out of print. You can’t deny when you hear one of their singles on radio it makes you feel just as good now then it did when it 1st came out. “I Call Your Name” is the cut.

There Will Never Be Another SWITCH!!!, September 5, 2005
Reviewer: R. Carter “Music Man” (St. Louis, Missouri United States) - See all my reviews

First of all I do like the compilation, I gave it 4 stars because its basically the same album as the 1991 release Best Of…Now i love all the songs on the best of series but how could you leave off others nuggets as “I Wanna Be With You” from the first album “SWITCH” and “Calling On All Girls”,”You’re The one For Me” and “Falling” from SWITCH II The second release, The 3rd release “This Is My Dream” Featured gems such as the title track and “Why’D You Let Love Fall” and “All I Need Is You” this release featured sister Bunny DeBarge contributing three lovely written songs, The 4th release “Reaching For tomorrow’ contained nuggets such as “I’ve Finally Found Someone New” and the beautifully written song “My Friend In The Sky” Very inspirational and Bobby DeBarge vocals here shine through and shows you that there will never be another like him PERIOD! The last release featured the nuggets “I Luv It” and “Push The Switch(HIGH ENERGY SWITCH)” this release also introduced two new members Terrance Gaines on Lead Vocals and Attala Zane Giles on Lead & Bass Guitars ……This release signaled the departure of Bobby DeBarge and Tommy DeBarge the year was 1981. Over all Switch had Five albums for motown. Switch was a well oiled unit and they JAMMED on the Up Tempo joints and as for the Slow Jams they brought the heat wit Bobby and Phillip ingram on vocals that was a nice combo, superb songwriting and musicianship “There’ll Never BE” another switch and Bobby DeBarge man with a VOICE like ANGLES of course gone too soon man, What a falsetto……WOW! Now i have all 5 albums and they are in MINT CONDITION and i will be making my own best of serious……..Keep Jamming SWITCH!!!!

(I guess that’s becuz I’m looking too hard at the late great Malcom’s fine self…PREACH!)

@bill… Don’t forget the First line-up of Cameo
They had a guy that sounded just like a woman singing as well “Why Have I Lost You”
I’m otta here People, See You All Tomorrow !!!

Bill,
I always read your post, you are funny as hell and you often enlighten me with your perspective…but how old are you to be married for 20 years? Are you like 40? Hmmmmm

Damn Bill! You are everywhere today….sort of like Beyonce!! LOL…

Melissa should tone down with the make-up and all the fake hair and boob showing. She seems to have a lot of natural beauty, unfortunately she covers it with stuff.

Thank you for the compliments !!
I’m flattered !!

Well..Gotta go home and lay pipe to Wifey Now….

I’ve been talking dirty to the ladies all day and I got myself all worked up….

Let me take my Nasty old ass home, and F_ck my wife silly….

Good Night Y’all !!

she’s canadian too…wow.

Well we can’t blame the birthday girl for trying to get all she can get out of being a “video professional” Has anyone seen her commericials for the ring tones? She really thinks she has talent!! lol…But let’s be real here, it could be a whole lot worse, she could be like chicken head…oh, I mean superhead!!

She turned 30 3 years ago!

MF seems down with doing her thang! I ain’t hatin’ ’cause she seems cool and is fine as hell too! And from O’Canada as well…must be in the water huh?! LOL!

happy bday mel ur days are abt to be up so use them wisely

30?!

Anyway, my girl Nik is everywhere nowadays; does she still model?

Melissa has da bangin’ shape but her face looks like she bout 40. No hate-just keepin it real!!!

she looks wonderful!

Frederick- you must live in atl with that area code.

she looks soooo cheap

why is she ALWAYS trying to arch that back?!

Fuck Rich Boy!!!

How many songs about caddilacs the south make? At least talk bout some buicks, fords, or other models.

Melyssa Ford is OK, but NOT a Goddess in my eyes.
Her pics are wack and she barely has booty like the rest of them models. I seen her in person and she is very pretty i the face tho.

Stephon Marbury needs to quit partying and get to fucking Practice!!!! The knicks are already losing games!!!

Melyssa Ford — Date of Birth: 7 November 1976

30 years old and still doesn’t have a respectful career. What a shame.

remind me…. she is famous for what reason?

liar, she aint thirty…she at least 33…

She betta hold that weave in the 1st pic! We don’t want another Michael Jackson moment, you know weave catch fire quick…lol!!

Yes!, Melissa, yes!..She looks good. Even though her titties all hanging out. She could have calmed a bit down with that. I guess that’s what she’s famous for #125, crazy but true.

wow you people are soo cruel and judgemental, melyssa ford looks fabulous!!!!!!!!! she looks her age, actually i thought she was younger than that..

That chick aint no 30 like Beyonce aint no 25 lol!!! Everyone in the industry lies about their age!!! That b**** just turned @ least 35 lol!!!!

OOOOOOOOOOOOhhhhhh….Now I know who Rich Boy is!!! \
I heard that song on BET the other day and although I can usually spot a 1 hit wonder from 8 miles away, the song caught my ear!!! I like the beat and the hook, but the beat even more than the hook so that usually equates a 1 hit wonder….good beat, questionable lyrics.

Especially because he is from the south and T.I. has steped the game up SO MUCH for the south lyrically, Po’ Boy or Rich Boy must do much better than that!!!

I wonder who will be around longer, Young Dro (whom I don’t think is a 1 hit wonder because his 2nd single isn’t 1/2 bad) or Rich Boy?! Hmmmm

Developing….

@ Bill…I was born in ‘79 but even I know who Switch is/was!!! I grew up listening to them because of my sister who is probably around your age!!! I still love their songs which have been sampled by SO MANY rap artist and R&B artist “When I call your name” Ne-Yo just sampled that song on his new album, “And I like it” and “There will never be”!!!

El Debarge and Switch are the SHIT yall…don’t sleep lol!!!

@ #78…I thought El Debarge was a woman too lol.. until I listen to “When I call Your Name” when I was older and in the intro he said “but I’m a man now baby” and I was like WTF all this time I thought that was a woman singing the song LMAO!!! I thought I was the only one!!!

melyssa ford is the worst canadian import since their bacon haha

im a dude who enjoys pretty gyals, buh she’s a fuckin mess!! fake tits, fake hair, where does it end??

she needs to cover herself up and actually put the pieces of her “career” together

i wonder where all those celebs (male, female) that hav beat up her pussy are at?? i guess they’d have to throw her bday party @ the staple centre if they wanted everyone that she’s had sex w/ to come haha

Doesn’t she look like Wendy Williams in the making?

@ Bill #82 WOW…I stand corrected, I thought that was The EL Debarge that sang that awsome falsetto!!! I probably messed up some of the titles of the songs too but I know them no the less!!!

I knew about Chico and Bobby tryin’ to transport Coca Cola products (not really Coca Cola to all you slow lames out there) from Puerto Rico to The States!!! I was like 10 when they got busted or maybe a little younger and remember thinking “WTF” that is so stupid.

To bad AIDS took such a talent!!! My dad OD’d on Heroin around the same time Bobby died!!! I don’t know a drug on EARTH that is stronger than the hold Heroin has on people!!! I am a nurse now and I work @ a Methadone Clinic on the weekends for extra money from time to time and I have seen everyone from Lawyers driving up in ‘06 and ‘07 S class Mercedez Benz’s to old Boxing Fighters in that clinic who after 20 years are struggling to stay clean!!! And the majority of the are WHITE!!! Maybe it’s the demographics of the area I work in (Oxnard, CA is near the beach hence mostly white folk), but it’s so sad to heard their stories and then watch them struggle, hooked on Methadone so that they are not hooked on Heroine

So Sad….

UM MEYLSSA I HOPE YOU HAD THE BAR @ YOUR PARTY BC YOU KNOW UR ASS IS BARELY MAKING IT…. GETTING DIBS ON THE BAR PUT OME MONEY IN YOUR POCKET

STEPHON UM…….UM….I THINK I LOVE YOU….

KANYE’S WEST LOOK GHETTO AS HELL…..SHE ISNT THAT CUTE..

OK. Well i feel better about myself now, because i had no idea this broad was younger than me.

Yay self!

Now if only i can maintain my sexy until 40 like Stacey Dash has…now THERE is a case of black don’t crack!!!

Damn Bill!!
But sometimes “Ooh baby I like it raw” LOL

why do women still choose to lie about they age .we all know that this chick melyssa is not 30 more like 35-40.be proud of your age vivica, stacey dash,angela bassett & janet is 40 & above & proud of it.and might i ad looking darn good .so why are will still in this era of lying about our age trying to be younger than what we are.get it together people be proud of your age.
