Solange Knowles performed a preview of her upcoming album last night as part of the “R&B Live” Concert Series. Her family came out to Spotlight showing support, as well as other young stars and randoms.
Solange’s is currently fine tuning the new album titled “Solange & The Hadley Street Dreams”. She also recently signed a worldwide co-publishing deal with EMI Music Publishing after being recognized for her lyrical work on songs for Destiny’s Child, Kelly Rowland, Michelle Williams, Trin-I-Tee 5:7, and sister Beyoncé.


@ 179 Ciara has prove on to BIGGER & UGLIER things
prove i meant MOVE
…………after the free drank tickets ran out.
^^^^^^ @180 NATURAL MYSTIQUE
Good thang Bey had a half pint of Blackberry Brandy stashed in her LV. When she pulled it out Tina said, “Damn long-ass show! Uh-uh, over here, lemme hit that.”
Angela I watch your all the time and I thunk it would be a great look for you to bw with bow wow. CUTE COUPLE
Why is Mama Knowles dressed like an 18 year old? And who is Miredy?
LMAO @ Y’all… Y’all are officially running OUT! lolololol too funny…. 2 Valerie’s?…*shrugs*
I,m sorry all you haters……..Solange is going to be a star.
I think everyone looks nice overall. Why is it that every time Bow Wow is in the news…people bring Ciara name up? 50 using her to sell his CD and Ciara’s using 50′s popularity to do the same. So what if they together. Solange can sing, but is she marketable? That’s the question. Angela and Vanessa are cute, they look out of place for some reason but they still cute. Tina was cute before she came out with House of Deron and other products, then she went down hill. Beyonce is cute, and all the other people are, there.
I think Solange looks beautiful and I wish her the best with everything she does. I’m excited about her song-publishing deal with EMI, that means more artistic freedom, more indepedence and more money for her! I heard her songs “White Picket Dreams” and “Champagne Chronic Night Cap”. I think the songs are so innovative and eclectic and its different from anything I’ve heard her or Beyoncé sing- so she’s gonna be fresh and new. Her vocals are shown in the songs with pretty good range and creativity. She’s a strong girl and the pressure any of you haters would have as a younger sister of Beyoncé- you all couldn’t handle. Solange is making herself her own woman and she knows people will criticize her and hate, prayin’ for her downfall because she Beyoncé’s sis, but she’s still gonna give the music biz a whirl- and make a name for herself regardless!
Go Solange- do your thing and don’t look back! God Bless You!
That didn’t look like Beyonce sitting next to Mama T, I thought it was “Eva the Diva”
THAT DOES NOT LOOK LIKE BEYONCE
LMAO @ at the dumb foolish perople that can’t clearly see that beyonce,tina and solange all use bronzer and spray on tans to give them that golden carmel skin tone. anyone can see that tina knowles is of creole heritage,i mean how the hell do you think i her grandchild got them blue eyes and light skin? plus beyonce has always been fair skin right from birth(checkout her childhood pics). FYI lightskinned folks do tan or for some, they can get a spray tan with bronzer for a quick tan.
@166,
They speak Creole.Its close 2 Barbados.
lol @ 72.
simmons sisters always blah yall swear yall cute lolz. ew rat faces. ugh to the shorter haired one. alesha renee double ugh

I HEARD THAT VANESSA SIMMONS IS DOING SOAP OPRA WITH “THE GUIDING LIGHT” I SEE HER DOING LILTTLE ACTING THING.. SHE LOOKS GOOD
DRY A** H.A.Ms.Solange….it must be hard living in beyonce’s shadow trying so hard 2 see over her nappy front lace weave.I just feel for her.Your sister is one of the biggest stars in the game and you just known as her “sister”.Damn, gurl step yo game up….singing aint yo thang.pray…
why do people attack this family so much?
@ carlissia
jealousy comes to mind. i mean why blatantly hate on someone you hardly know personally. really disturbing
Did anyone listen to Solange’s first cd? I thought it was really great writing for someone so long. I think she is really talented in that department, and her voice is nice too. I support her on this c.d. and I think she looks great. Im proud of her. She’s come a long way.
Why does Beyonce looked disgusted by Solanges’ singing?
I love the Simmons girls.
#115 she has a lost soulness look in her eyes,
like i dont have a sex life but atleast i have beyonce
# 118 beyonce isnt as “beautiful” as you think
take off all that make up she wears from fake eyelashes to blush concealer mascara
lipstick eyeliner and shes pretty average
take away the fake hair and shes prob below average
dont believe the hype
im not trying to hate just sick of the credit she gets for her “beauty”
The funny thing about the mess in this post is that there is an obvious idiot who is just trying to incite people…ok, we all got that…didn’t even read more than one line she posted in this entire thing BUT the people who responded, the people who are supposed to be “sensible” who spoke out, well all ya’ll made sure to add that you had light skin lol anybody notice that? wow…that’s profoundly sad.
Back to Solange, YES it sounds good…the names of her songs are curious and new BUT I do not believe it of her… Sorry. I saw her with Lil Wayne, grinning and flailing like an airhead…nope, not buying it…
I know there are some people who did not mention their skin color, I hope it’s clear that I am only talking to the ones who seemed to reiterate what the idiot said. just clearing that up….
LOL @ someone saying Ciara moved on to bigger and UGLIER things– fiddy is an ugly MESS!
I love these comments because they’re funny but I honestly think people should watch out for Solange. I see her surpasing Cassie, Mya, Rihanna, Ashanti, Keyshia and the rest of them, except Ciara………..and her sister Beyonce of course.
The ignorance in here that the couple of you choose to portray is NOT a good look AT ALL! hmmmm You can be as light as you want, but you’re still BLACK. Considered a MINORITY in the United States of America! I’m not being rude…..just stating the fact! I don’t see white people thinking of themselves that the TANNER you are, the better! SMH………We seriously GOT(have) TO DO BETTER than this, black folks!
@200
Cause it’s fun. Don’t worry about them too much. They have enough money to buffer all the criticism.
# 118 on the ugly one always asking for more cereal that shit is the best quote of 2007 you got that hands down you won the emmy. oscar, and golden globe. lololololololooooooooo
http://www.oasis-stores.c...5/Tyre-print-sequin-dress
solanges dress is in the oasis sale lool
Everyone looks nice except ….Bow Wow he is sooooo short (looks like a tree stump) and Miredys looks weird (something aint right).
#142 as stupid as you sound I will have to agree with you!! I am Ashanti’s color and I think that color is just passing in the world of beauti. Kelley Rowland would probly be doing better if she was not affiliated with the very yellow Tina Knowles and Beyonce! Kelly will forever be compared to B! and yes I truly beleive that if Kelley was lighter her solo career would have rocketed her to the top. There are to types of brown #I1 ndian toned brown and #2 coco puff brown! coco brown people have it tough Indian toned brown people look mixed so half the time people think you are indian
Haters must live on this site lol I like solange and actually bump those two songs she came out with ( they were on this site) and I like that she is different than Bey. One minute ya’ll hate on Bey then say Solange can never be her which one is it. Go Team Knowles
LMAO @ the stupidity and ignorance spewed on this post!
i saw solo’s dress today in oasis (UK) for £10!!!!!!!! i couldnt beleive it, it was on sale tho but still.
Why can’t we all just get along. White praise their own nomatter how fuck-up they become. EXAMPLE BRITTANY, LINSDAY on AOL EVERDAY. CIARA the best of the best gets no love from her on people. You guy act as though you can be a better singer and dancer, PROVE IT!! CIARA IS OFFICALLY THE QUEEN !!!!!!
First of all, this post has absolutely nothing to do with Ciara. So why even bring her up? (I like Ciara, but she is not the Queen of anything. She can dance but the jury is still out on her vocals.)
@206
How do you know what Beyonce looks like underneath the makeup and hair? If you think she’s average, I guess everyone else in the industry is average also. They all are enhanced by makeup, hair, etc. So what’s the point? Personally, with or without the makeup, I think Beyonce is a beautiful woman.
Tina is bou HELLA bow-legged she has a cute…YOUNG style…Daddy Knowles better watch out!!!
What’s up wit the lil sisters trying to be as good as their big sis’?? forst Ashlee now Solange….and Solange PLEASE BABY BABY PLEASE dnt re-released Solo Star…if it didn’t do good a few years back what makes u think it will be better now??
Lord I must say something!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
First of all why wonder what race Tina is, when we all know she is Black???? Maybe she’s mixed with somethin…why does it matter???? Also I wonder what would be the response from ya’ll same haters if this was an all white website and they were criticizing how “light” she is!!! Its so funny everyone is sooooooo TIRED of Beyonce and her family but it is 3 page half of haters, hating on there own damn race!!! They have a beautiful family so deal with it…..so many others that are not famous!!!! DAMN its sooooo irritating to see blacks so quick to call someone else a hater or racist if they say the same SHIT ya’ll on here saying! My Bestfriend is as light as Tina Knowles, some people even mistake her for asian sometimes but damn i’ve never heard anyone question is she black enough?!?!! IT”S ridiculous that woman is light just like trillions of other light-skin blacks walkin around here so get some other shit to talk about! And as far as her clothes, this woman is a damn millionaire, and one of the most talented stylists I’ve ever seen, so i’m pretty sure she doesnt ALWAYS wear the same shit!!! DAMN QUIT HATIN and try appreciating People of our race that actually are wealthy, tryin to help others and also being positive role models besides all these gangsta’s out here promoting sex, drugs and money being the most important things in LIFE!!! Half of ya’ll probably have more respect for rappers who call ya’ll all type of hoes, and concentrate on nothing more that F’n yall then hoein U in a rhyme lata than the people who are “too light-skinned” like Tina Knowles!!!! Lord have mercy on all ya’ll people that have nothin but negative things to say about positive people!!
This is an open forum where people can voice their opinions. Just because someone says something negative about the Knowles family does not mean they are haters…there are millionaires that read and post on this site too, believe it or NOT! I agree focusing on how “light skinned” someone is or what they’re mixed with is trivial, but personally, I’m ready to see other african americans given a chance to really shine besides this family. I wish them continuous success, but I’m tired of all the news and hoopla about them- they are just a family of hustlers- nothing more. There are many other talented entertainers that are ready to “WOW” us if only the media would turn their attention away from this family and give others a chance.
She performed at Club 20/20 in houston,TX for Gay and Lesbian Pride in May of 07 she can hold a tune
Solange needs to give it up! Kelly sings better and if yall are going to buy the solange album and not Kelly’s yall are wack as HELL!!!
