PRINCESS PARIS?
Tuesday, January 16, 2007

Remember Paris Bennett, everyone’s favorite from one of those seasons of American Idol? Well, considering that I stopped glueing myself to American Idol when they didn’t let Frenchie Davis on, I was really surprised when I heard about Miss Paris Bennett, and was thoroughly impressed with her performance. She has an excellent voice, which is why the young singer is now signed and is set to release her forthcoming album, “Princess P.” This is “Ordinary Love,” her first rock-inspired single, produced by Jon Jon Traxx. Paris shot her video for the single last Thurdsay.

Photos were taken by Rick Kinchen. Dustin Breeding of Bad Boy recording group B5 played her love interest.

The song is ok. I don’t watch American Idol unless it’s on at work and I still try not to pay it attention. It doesn’t suprise me that she didn’t make it. They seem to cut a lot of talented people early on and hang on to lesser talents because they have a certain look or attitude. And I am at work now and they are watching American Idol so I’m about to go to the store to kill some time.

I don’t like it cause the lyrics trail off at the end.
But her voice is sweet and powerful, and I like how she chose a producer that isn’t Jermaine Dupri.
And we all know how black people get when a guitar comes into a song…I hope we get more R&B beats that sound like this. I bet she’ll get better writers when she takes off too, so I’m hopeful we get to hear more from her…Cause I’ll take anything over that new Lumidee song I heard the otha day! Let’s not worry about Cassie anymore and focus on her Lumidee’s ass, cause that girl cannot even hum on a damn song.

I always liked Paris, I thought she should have gone farther in American Idol, but it’s all good.
AND JUST A REMINDER EVERYONE, IF YOU DIDN’T KNOW TODAY IS AALIYAH’S BIRTHDAY, AND SHE WOULD HAVE BEEN 27 YEARS OLD. SOGOD BLESS HER & HER FAMILY.
R.I.P. AALIYAH.

I like it. It fits her vocal range, and her personality. Her voice is fiyah for a young girl. She is signed to her uncle’s independent label. More info at wikipedia.org/wiki/Paris_Bennett.

I just can’t. Is she seriously putting this out and calling it DIFFERENT? Is that suppose to make us eat it up? No shade, but judging off this joint she sounds like she is trying too hard. The enunciation, the production doesnt sound professional, which makes the whole joint come off as a mixtape tune. She will do good in the GOSPEL arena, but NOT in R and B. Put that WHERE? Back there with Nicole Ray, Blu Cantrell, Sunshine Anderson…and all the others who sing WELL, but dont have the IT to make it in the industry.
Now Corrinne Bailey, thats a DIFFERENT chick, and she has IT! Study her Princess P.

I LIKE IT. ITS HOT!!!! NOT BREATHTAKING, BUT HOT!!!
IM PLEASED TO SEE THAT SHE CHOSE A DIFFERENT SOUND. SHES GOING SO LEFT WHILE EVERYONE ELSE IS GOING RIGHT. I HEARD ANOTHER SONG BY HER CALLED “DREAMIN” WHICH WAS SUPPOSED TO BE HER FIRST SINGLE, I DONT KNOW WHAT HAPPENED. I GUESS ITS BECAUSE IT WAS TOO “DIFFERENT” LOL. I LIKE IT THOUGH, ITS HOT. THE SUBJECT MATTER IS GOOD & THE PRODUCTION IS KINDA WEIRD ACTUALLY, BUT NOT IN A BAD WAY. I GUESS SHE CHOSE THIS SONG BECAUSE ITS SOMETHING A WIDER RANGE OF PEOPLE WILL LIKE, UNLIKE DREAMIN. I MIGHT JUST BUY THE ALBUM IF SHE KEEPS COMIN WITH HOT SONGS (ESPECIALLY BECAUSE SHES WORKING CLOSELY WITH RODNEY JERKINS…THATS MY DUDE, ONE OF THE BEST PRODUCERS DOIN IT RIGHT NOW) & I LOVED HER SINCE A.I. I WAS MAD THAT SHE GOT BOOTED OFF LOL

i am a fan of hers….and I love her voice, i think she should have stayed on the show longer…..
but i am kinda disappointed that this is what she is releasing for her debut. it doesnt really show off her voice and i feel like im listening to yummy bingham i think thats her name.

Considering her age she sings alot better than people older than her (Ciara, Cassie). Her vocals are alot stronger. Tha song is okay, I would still need to hear somethin else though.

Talisa, just shut up. you are 18 years old but you act like you’re 4. I can’t hate on Paris chick cuz from my hometown and so is Prince and Jewel. Minnesota is in affect and has been for decades and decades. we are very low prfile. Believe it or not, Prince almost married my friends mom. anywhoo I am not feeling this song but I do love Paris.

All I can think about listening to her voice is Teedra Moses for some reason, I don’t know. But I hate the song none the less, oh well………

Asbury aka #42…U really think of Teedra when you hear Paris? Now maybe thats you, but i could NEVER! Teedra is light years ahead of this girl vocally and melodically. Age has nothing to do with it, it just is what it is.

This song sucked. It sounds like some bubble gum music. The music is F’d up in America right now. They apply the same exact formula to every damn song and that is messing everthing up. Peace!

HAM! She was on the show and always will be. I see she tuned it down being that I saw her as being ‘too grown’ on the show. A lot of folks were not feeling this little girl as time went on. She went from the innocent bubbly girl to the ‘work it out let me bounce my ass on this stage’ act. Ever since that performance I was completely turned off! It was just…wrong. Like wacthing your little sister or niece shake her ass, embarrassing.

The song is okay, I think she should have gone the Soul/R&B Route. Her voice is too strong and heavy for pop. If she would record a soulful ballad she would kill it. She has a beautiful voice.

The girl is so talented,she was my favorite that season.I’m happy to see that she kept it going afterwards.I aslo respect the fact that she didn’t use her grandmother’s celebirty to get ahead,she tried to do it on her own.

___________________________
I agree. Paris has an old ass deep rooted slave spirit - kinda Harriet Tubman-ish. She acted like all the other AI contestants were her babies, the way she used to cry when people got kicked off. She was never one of my favs. I could never warm up to her…that damn speaking voice is like a country Michel’le.

Love Paris…when she started singing some Ella on Idol…shocked me, but she comes from a good line. Hope she does great things. I support my black folks…do it, Paris! Because most people think Ciara got talent…they don’t know what real singing skills r.

I’ll pass. Didn’t particularity like her on AI and I don’t like this song.
Also, I’m tired of these high school girls singing about “love” and “soulmates.” Give me a break. Enjoy being a child first.
