She looks pretty!

YEA I LOVE ME SUM CHELLE TOO, I HOPE SHE DO REAL GOOD IN THIS PLAY, CUZ PEOPLE PROBALY ALREADY 2 CRITICIZE HER!!!!!!!!!, O YEA AND SHE LOOK REAL GOOD IN THAT 2ND PIC…

Michelle better go ‘head. Though people may not know, Michelle has been doing her thing on the low. Little shit though here, and there. Unlike Kelly, she’s proving there is life outside of Beyonce’s ass!!

Go Michelle! I didn’t know that she is playing Shug. I nust be really late but anyways, she still is doing her thing. Good to see that there is still life after DC3.

Michelle looks like she put on some MUCH needed weight. She looks good. I can see her playing the Shug Avery role.

*singing* Siiiiiiistah…..LOL

thank god she put some meat on those bones! she was starting to look cracked out

Good for her she is not afraid to do her own thing thats what I admire about her & she looks cute on the cover.

I’d love to see the play! But I think I want to see the one in NYC with Tasia.

I want to see that play so bad. Hopefully I’ll get a chance before the year is over. Michelle looks so pretty on the cover.

Good for Chelle doin big things!

CHICAGO BUSTIN LOOSE. IM NEXT! IM PROUD OF CHELLE CUZ SHE DOING BIG THINGS

This role suits her soooo well~ One time 4 Miss Williams!

Michelle looks good i hope she does well in chicago

She reminds me of Vivica on the cover.

she looks absolutely stunning….that pic of her hugging herself..that picture is simply gorgeous…and yes it looks like shes gained weight!!she is looking mighty fine!get em chelle!!!
HAHA yer on the magazine cover, dats the dress she wore at L.A Reids 50th B’day..hmm wonder why she wearing it in this shoot….but im sure its not her decision what she wears in shoots..but omg she looks fab!!

Im real happy for Michelle. I am also happy she is doing something.

i love her. have anyone seen kelly’s myspace i wonder if it is hers or beyonce’s she needs to get new management like right now. her career will go down that toilet if she doesn’t. y is she not doing more promotions

She looks nice, good to see her doing her own thing.

OK MICHELLE!! IM REALLY HAPPY 4 HER AND SHE IS LOOKIN REALLY GOOD. I AGREE BOUT HER PUTTIN ON THAT WEIGHT AGAIN…..MUCH BETTER!

I absolutely love Michelle. She is a great talent and has still managed to stay humble. Being a spiritual person can keep you grounded.

Michelle truly looks like old school black glamour. BEAUTIFUL. Its funn how people always focus on Kelly/B******’s looks but overlook the fact that Ms.Michelle is beautiful in a very classical way. Do ur thang Miche!!!!

she looks good as shit. I’d fuck the hell out of her.

Go head Michelle, good for her!!!

I saw her perform two nights ago. She really did her thing. At first I didn’t think her personality would be able to pull off the Shug Avery character - we all know she’s a little raunchy - but she REALLY put it down. And she doesn’t sing Sista… *pout*..

This chick CANNOT sing.

HEY EVERYBODY ON CONCRETELOOP THIS HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH MICHELLE BUT, I WANT TO LET EVERYONE KNOW THAT ON MAY 15 DO NOT PURCHASE GAS. PLEASE WE ARE TRYING TO GET AS MANY PEOPLE INVOLVED AS POSSIBLE, WE NEED LET THE GAS COMPANIES KNOW THAT WE WON’T TOLERATE THE HIGH ASS GAS PRICES.
THANKS A LOT MY CL FAMILY!!!!

#14 I was going to say the same thing about the dress.

I like Michelle. She does look nice and about the weight thing. Everybody can’t gain weight like that……unless you take some pills - lol

I know I did! - lol

I had no idea she was playing Shug. I hope she does good, but either way I’m glad she’s spreading her wings. YAY Michelle!

Gosh where the heck have I been? I had no idea that Michelle is playing Shug Avery…Is this the same “Color Purple” that Fantashia’s in? Maybe I should just get the mag lol.

P.S. Got my Avitar yay!

yea chelle lookin real good, she doin her thang after d.c., “make dat money, dont let da money make u”—play’s club

Ummmm….The Title of this Mag says it ALL…

I love Michelle Williams and am so proud of her! She looks stunning in these pics! Get it girl!!!

I cannot wait to see this and I hear she has an R&B album coming out in Fall. So this is all a great look for her and im glad she’s doing her thing!

Is there some kind of soundtrack cuz I would Love to her her sing Shugs songs! I absolutely love this girl. She’s a STAR!

SHE LOOKS FABULOUS I LOVE MICHELLE ANYWAY…

Michelle is the shit. People sleep on her because she wasn’t the star of DC and her voice is so unique but she is nothing but TALENT! She will be successful because she is a good person who works hard and didn’t forget where she came from. TEAM MICHELLE!!!

GO Michelle, and ASENTHA Michelle can definitely sing and sounds alot better than Kelly live anyday. You might want to purchase the Destiny Fulfilled Concert DVD. Chelle looks stunning on the cover too.

She looks great. I hope she did her thang on stage.

Ok, why did I think she was going to play Celie. I am so late. U SHO IZ UGLY! LOL

She looks good!

Michelle looks fabulous and I know she’ll kill it on stage. I’ve had the pleasure of hearing her live … she sounds amazing. Best of luck to her!

Michelle, my belle, you look beautiful!

It’s about time she looks decent–Keep it up Michelle

kudos, girl - kudos

proud of her…rep chi-town michelle….

She looks nice! The best I’ve seen her! Go, Michelle!!!!!!!

good for her she looks nice

I must say Michelle have been looking better since the DC broke up. This makes you wonder if Matthew and Tina pursposely tone her and Kelly down to make Beyonce stand out more in the group. Good look Michelle.

^^i agree. i believe those tanning rumors (that they made michelle and farrah tan longer so they would be darker than bey) b/c when she first got into DC she was bey’s complexion then she started getting darker and her skin looked bad. her skin’s looking better now and she looks good. she probably still tans, just not as much. happy for her

“Violet Femme?” That’s such an awkward pun.

She looks good, but damn how old is she? She looks 45, but I know she’s only like 25 or 26 right?

wow she looks stunning y didnt she do her hair and makeup like this when she was in DC? itz like she wanted to look ruff anyway do ur thing girl.

She looks great.

I saw her last night, she was in the club where I work in Chicago, and she is a whole lot smaller than I expected but nonetheless a beautiful woman.

She looks very pretty and i wish her much success

#31- Tasha…..WHAT!?!?!? She doesnt sing ‘Sistah”!?!?!? Boooooo@ whoever made that choice! I wonder if the NY version has Shug singing it? I hope so because I have tickets to see it!

#59-Moni…..Michelle is 28.

Is this a magazine or a BOOKLET? lmao

I’m so happy for her and the extra weight looks good on her.

Bump to 56 & 57. She looks gorgeous though and I hope she does well. Back to the early-DC days in the looks dept. Oh and they don’t sing Sista in the broadway version either(sad I know).

Kelly will turn out to be the Mary Wilson of the group. I think its only a metter of time before Kelly will wise up because no matter what she puts out, she’ll never be a top seller or semi top seller. She’s gonna look up one day and realize how much she has lost taking up residency in Beyonce’s ass and when that day comes, my black ass will be right there watching the exclusive interviews and readng that steamy tell-all book.

MICHELLE LOOKS WONDERFUL IM HAPPY SHE IS DOING THINGS IN BROADWAY.

Michelle really looks the way she did when she first joined DC ,Chelle never did fit in with DC she is a gospel singer and her first album won a grammy unlike kelly she’s probley glad the group split up .Chelle only joined DC to get discovered because she came from a small town, she gained her weight back, she looks very happy and being A gospel singer she do not have to trail behind B .

haha I’m Chicago representative yessur!!!,,you know what’ve never been a Michelle fan..we never into her voice but that girl so cool!..I loved her country accent that made her seem more down-to-earth..they never made her talk in DC but when she did she would make me laugh..because she kept it real..do ya thing Michelle..lol

MICHELLE, MICHELLE, MICHELLE, you know you better work that stage, THIS IS YOUR TIME TO SHINE! Show the world the talent that I’ve seen from day 1!

is she that good, i need a people’s opinion

I posted this on another board:

I went to see the Chicago broadway version of the Color Purple and it is FABULOUS!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Considering this is the version with Destiny Child’s Michelle Williams as Shug and American Idol’s Latoya London as Nettie, I was pleasantly surprised how good they are!!!!!!!!! BUT Michelle - LAWD HOW MERCY - she looked soooooooooo skinny and frail!!!!!! The part where they are in the juke joint whooping it up, Michelle, po child was shaking nothing but bones! It was hilarious and cute cuz she has no booty. They both can sing but Michelle’s acting stood out more than her singing! That girl is a better actress than that other DC girl. Michelle is actually gorgeous funny woman and she can go far and leave te Knowles fam alone. That girl is talented than I thought. Latoya was awesome as Nettie. She is so cute and very tiny and short. She definitely gave the lead members a run for their money in the singing dept. And that girl’s teeth are so perfect. Yes, I was that close! My fav character was Sophia played by Felicia Fields. She was a hoot!!! I perked up everytime she and the guy who played Harpo came on stage. Harpo and I kept exchanging looks whenever he came in front of me and during the curtain call when they all lined up. I was staring down all the fine bros, expecially Harpo and Mista! Those two are a trip and had me nervous.

The play is worth every penny and I had sat first row center!!!!!!! Talk about exchanging looks and smiles with the fine azz men cast members close up from the stage!!!!!! My least fav cast member was the Celie character played by an actress/singer I’m not too familiar with. She can sing her booty off (which by the way we got to see Michelle Williams naked booty in the bath tub scene when Celie helps her clean herself up) but the Chicago version of Celie is - how can I say - she’s mildly “touch” talking like a mentally challenged female Steppit Fetchit. It was so unnerving. I was glad when she started singing her parts instead of talking.

I will be singing, “Hell No!” and “Push the Button” all week. I’m too cheap to buy the CD. Go see it if you can!!!

I wished I could’ve stayed and met the cast, but only VIP’s and radio winners could do that.

Next month I’m going to New York to see the NY version of the Color Purple starring Fantasia as Celie. I know she will drop kick the Celie roll right out the theater with her singing.

Chamillionaire with a wig.

she looks gorgeous congrats!!!
