MAG COVERS: KEYSHIA COLE COVERS ESSENCE / QUEEN LATIFAH COVERS EBONY

Tuesday, September 11, 2007

keyshiaemag.jpg

Keyshia Cole is covering the new issue of Essence Magazine, (on sale yesterday), and in issue the 26-year-old singer sat down with ESSENCE senior writer Jeannine Amber to share her thoughts on life, love and being compared to Mary J. Blige.

ESSENCE: You recently got out of a serious relationship. How’s that been?

COLE: After my ex-boyfriend told me to go on and live my life, I saw him at a place with another girl. I was pissed! I tried to rip her head off. Then he was like, “Dude, you broke up with me.” But that’s just what it is.

MORE ON KEYSHIA’S RELATIONSHIP

“I just couldn’t do it. It’s weird. After this guy proposed to me, I was like, dang, this is everything a woman lives for: to be married, with a ring, to be able to represent something. But for me, it was the opposite. I was scared. When you get married, you become one; you don’t live just for yourself anymore. I’m just not ready for that. I’m not done with my goals in life. What’s the word when you just kind of fall back and let your man do the man thing? Submit? I’m all jacked up on that word. I just couldn’t submit. But I loved him. That’s the crazy thing about it. It’s been hard because I really missed that child.”
[SOURCE & SOURCE]

I wonder if that man was Young Jeezy…

Dana E. Owens, 37, the super-successful artist, better known as Queen Latifah, is riding high and rolling out big things. With a Custom Bobber motorcycle as her throne, the Queen shows her adventurous side on this month’s cover draped in a cat suit and patent leather. The new issue hit stands yesterday as well.

I really like Keisha Coles hair she is so cute to me.

yes

Tuesday, September 11, 2007 /

I like that Essence tried to make Keyshia look all refined but either the blonde or the green letters are throwing it off for me

as far as Jeezy, I think it’s good she didnt let herself make a commitment that she wasn’t ready for, she is right that when u take that step it isnt about u all the time anymore and he’s a lot older so of course he may be ready to settle but keyshia has so much more growth to make before doin something like that, but Jeezy aint have to move on so fast i guess some folks just need a rebound to help them forget about the past

I am not a big KK fan, but she does look nice on that cover. Everything except for those dark ass eyebrows with that blond hair. She needs to have her stylist at least bring them down to a brown shade!

Angel..It’s Lynn repin Toronto. Kepp up the GREAT work that you do. When the VMAs were over I knew that I could come here and get the highlights. Give us the snippets there great, this of course lets the reader know to continue to read or move on to another topic. That takes some serious strength to walk away from a yearand a half relationship.

& that comparison is for what, certainly not to say that BEYONCE-ita Sanchez Ramirez KNOWLES-Santiago sounds more educated than KEYSHIA COLE? Couldn’t be, KEYSHIA actually GRADUATED high school & had plans to attend college…

Keyshia looks great on the cover!!! She should wear her hair like that, blonde still but more subdued… As for the man, Jeezy is probably the one who broke up with her and there’s another who proposed… It seems that she’s talking about two different people… Jeezy said on 106th and Park that she is a “very nice looking young lady” but he’s “about his money, right now.” Which sounds like classic man-speak for “had fun. NEXT—>”

91.

Lula Pear

Tuesday, September 11, 2007 /

Wait. Keyshia said, on her show, that she went to college… That’s where she met the guy who gave her a shot… She walked up to him at an event on campus, right???
About the Jeezy thing, I just remembered how she went on and on about Mary J telling her it’s hard to be with a man and still have a career…blah blah…
So, maybe Jeezy did propose to her and she was hinting at that… I can definitely see him wanting to marry her…they’re a perfect fit… I don’t think Keyshia is dumb, though… I’m sure she realized that, though he wanted to marry her, she was in for a Kim Porter-esque existence…

KEYSHIA DID graduate from Highschool she got discovered while she was signing up for COLLEGE.

This is not the same Lisa that criticized you Angel.

Beyonce is the one who dropped out in the 9th grade and she definitely need some help in the interview department as well.

kEYSHIA HAS NOT DONE HALF OF WHAT MONICA DID WHEN SHE CAME OUT AND SHE IS GETTING SO MUCH PROPS. ????????????????????????

95.

Lula Pear

Tuesday, September 11, 2007 /

cause Monica was always dealing with people trying to give her the “good girl” image, while behind the scenes we knew about her cavorting with C Murder.. She was devoid of personality, because she was so fake then…well, being made to be so fake… Look at her now, she comes out and says “I was the number 1 girl always keeping it hood, always keeping it real”… Well, now she laughs and jokes… but she knows before she was like a ghetto robot with hideous lace cuffs on her arms (covering those tats)… She was in Brandy’s shadow, and while she was a beautiful girl, there was too much going on that competed with her “good girl” thing…such as the hair cuts, the covert attitude problem, the tats, the relationship…
And, Keyshia has been ghetto from day one (although at first they were trying to market it as a more “Kelis in Bossy” sort of ghetto)… Nevertheless, Keyshia is/was ghetto… Monica was a robot in ghetto mail…

Sorry Lisa I’m from the Bay and everybody hear know she didn’t finish school as a matter of fact I read an interview where she said eventually she was going to go back and get her GED (like Mary and Fantasia). She sometimes streches the truth (like the fact that she said she grew up in multiple foster homes when in fact she was adopted at 2 by a church couple) so it’s hard to keep up with her stories. Maybe she was attempting to finish school when she got discovered.

If you would like to verify anything that I have said, see if you can find the first episode of her show where she says all this in her own words.

Have a nice day!

97.

Lula Pear

Tuesday, September 11, 2007 /

when she says “foster homes” maybe she just means different people taking her in…like she bounced around in her line…maybe even after the official adoption… For her to have chilled with Tupac she was probably a child and out there bad…

Keyshia cole is a great entertainer but she seriously needs to build her vocabulary and show us thats she knows something. Seriously ‘’submit” was not the word she was looking for…the interviewer played her on that one she could of corrected her….

@ #97

I see where you coming from, but everything these artist say you can’t believe. Oakland is big but not that big everybody who seen Pac at the corner store claim the “hung” with Pac like that. Her story is like almost 80% of the african american youth in Oakland some have her mentality some you would never think came from Oakland.

and, people people stop…”submit” is the right word… you know “submit” to somebody, like being “submissive” lol See, God doesn’t like ugly, you’re trying to criticize her vocab??? I’m kidding, I’m not mocking you, I’m almost always grammatically “different” lol She’s not dumb, maybe a bit gauche, but not dumb…I’ve watched her a bit…

Keyshia Cole looks so pretty on the cover. Very classy. But her speech is all wrong. Damn, how u gonna be on the cover of a prestigious black magazine and talk like that in an interview?

Queen Latifa looks nice on her cover as well, but she doesn’t look like that without makeup LOL.

I hate Jeezy and Keyshia broke up. They used to always coome in Strokers together and represent for each other. They were the cutest couple. Not many men can take their woman to a strip club and both of them just chill together. I hope they will get back together. They are so cute and gangster.

KEYSHIA IS BECOMING WISER, BUT I THINK THAT YOU CAN ALSO ACCOMPLISH YOUR GOALS WHEN YOU ARE MARRIED. IF A MAN TRULY LOVES HIS WIFE, HE WOULD SUPPORT HER GOALS, AS SHE SUPPORTS HIS. IT IS ALL ABOUT WHO YOU CHOOSE TO SETTLE DOWN WITH, SETTLING DOWN IS NOT THE ISSUE. THEY KEEP SWITCHING KEYSHIA’S AGE, NOW SHE IS 26. LATIFAH LOOKS LIKE HUMAN HELIUM, NOT A GOOD PIC FOR HER.

Keyshia Cole did not graduate. Actually in the latest interview of S2S magazine, she confirms that she just recenty got her GED.

Moving on…the cover is fab. Go Keysh!

Keshia Cole looks great on the cover Essence .I especially love the funky jewelry that shes rocking, and she has the hair looking slick,I’m not really understanding the first part of the interview. Why the hell would you try to rip her head off (in reference to her seeing her ex out with another female) when he was your man? I dont get that,sounds like something your average chicken head would do. Did you not state that you broke up wit him because you didnt want to get toto serious?
Latifah looks nice on Ebony!

Keyshia looks nice — a different hair color would be nice, but she is a natural beauty.

She is a talented sister, and very true to herself… and so many people label that as “ghetto”, but given where she’s come from and what she has come through - she should be applaued and supported. No father, a drug addicted mother -… having to rely on herself and raise herself.

No, she may not speak the King’s english or have a complete understanding of relativity, but many who had far more support and far more opportunity and priviledges don’t either.

She’s young, and as she matures, so will her understanding, so will her language and communication skills. In the meantime, like most people, she’ll stumble, and she might even fall, but because of her attitude and fortitude, she’ll get back up, and hopefully keep it moving.

I guess this explains why Jeezy says “I’ll never let a bitch Lil Bow Wow me”.

News flash people…she is from the hood. Better yet, she is from the hood and she keeps it real. In time she will become more polished but please keep in mind she made it with no real guidance from parents or family. Mad props Keisha for having the moxie to rise above all the BS and live out your DREAMS despite all the obstacles. BTW she looks great.

Another Public Service Announcement:

Unfortunately our culture has distorted the meaning of submission and therefore many people–even Christians–do not understand what the concept truly means. I propose a reading assignment people…Liberated Through Submission: God’s Design for Freedom in All Relationships by P.B. Wilson (a sister).

Keisha looks great- very elegant and sophisticated. Now she needs an interview and speech trainer because she’s lacking in that area right now. I hope the best for her and her career. What can I say about King Latifah- I’ll just let that go. I guess people compare Keisha to Mary because their swagger is ghetto, but Mary has come a long way- so Keisha better work.

I wish Queen L would play Madame CJ Walker in a film. That story needs to be brought to the big screen & the world. She was the 1st self made female millionaire in America. That’s big!

Megan Good shold play the daughter.
Has anyone read Madame CJ Walker’s biography?

@ #95 Lula Pear,

Please tell me what Key’s photo cover for Essence has to do with Monica? With all do respect Monica was just 11 when she first got discovered and 15 when she recorded her 1st album. Which means Mo was waaaaaay younger than Keyshia and she did what she THOUGHT she had to do to make paper. Keyshia was 25 when she recordered her 1st album so she actually knew better. 2 different scenarios. Again, what was your point?

125.

foxxy380

Wednesday, September 12, 2007 /

Oh! BTW, LOVE Keyshia’s cover.

126.

Im the only polar bear up in this bitch

Thursday, September 13, 2007 /

Keyshia looks so good with that natural make up on her, she should keep this look.

127.

WHY????

Wednesday, October 3, 2007 /

She is a no talent wanna be mary that is tone def, she has a stank attitude, not cute….and she hates her life as a singer heard on the recent baltimore radio show. SHE IS NOT THE NEXT MARY SHE IS A CHEAP IMMITATION UNPROFESSIONAL UNATRACTIVE BITCH. Sweat Alisha, Mary, Mariah…hell even rhi rhi…..But Keysha??????? Get a new profession! and if you don’t wanna do that please go to charm school and take some singing lessons for your tone def ass….PS stop trying to be Mariah and Xtina by hitting notes and stuff that you can’t do….hell protools can’t even help you!
