I’ve had my eye on Ms. Janelle Monae since the Idlewild soundtrack. She and the W.A.S. represents EVERYTHING the mainstream music industry is not, and where they should be. She’s a bonafide leader and truly has a passion for “the art of music”.

I cannot wait to see what we’re in store for in ‘08!

janelle monae:thas mi gurl rite thurr.i[♥]violet stars happy hunting.
itz different..[&] i[♥]her style. i mean..she’s worked wit big boi on tha purple ribbon all starz albulm.[&]her song was good on that too.

teyana:she’s tha cutest lil thang!!..lol i like her[&]she was a trip on super sweet sixteen. ne wayz..i like thiz joint.pharrell nu wat he was doin wen he signed her to Star Trak.i wanna her from her tho.

keri hilson:o wow..she did get on mi nerves at first.but hey..thas how i feel at first wit tha newbies.but i do like her voice.itz real mellow[&]her song rox.i think she’s gonna be real big nxt year.

man ya’ll are trippin….i been up on that song from solange a very long time and that is my SHIT! she has evolved greatly from her last song and has seperated herself from her sister totally (as far as her style of music)…i will be lookin out for her

teyana is my girl,i love her style…and google me is cute,i mean what else is she supposed to talk about at her age….u talk what u know and she is a bit of a hood star so whatever to the people talkin mess

keri is so pretty and has a great voice

and those i15 boys can sing there lil asses off,lost in love is my jam…..im excited about 08 cuz not only these artist but weezy wee is comin out wit dat carter 3 and i will be pickin that up….plus we got mariah,janet,and bee next year wit new shit….im just plain ole excited that my women are coming strong next year…ya’ll are trippin fa real.

Oh My Gosh!!!! the hell with everyone else on the list after JAZMIN….OOOOMMMMGGG I JUST WANT HER ALBUM ASAP….. she will be a force not to be messed with…. go Jazie

kid sister is THE shit!!!!

Im looking forward to:

Brandy
Teyana Taylor
JJ650
Eric Crawley
Tiffany Evans
and i15

Next year….

TEYANA GOT SOME OTHER HOT TRACKS..CHECK OUT HER MYSPACE…LOOKING FORWARD TO KERI…SHE AND HER VOICE ARE BOTH BEAUTIFUL….NOT FEELING THIS KID SISTER CHICK…LOOKING FROWARD TO EVERYONE ELSE.

AND STEPH JONES SOUNDS LIKE HE SAMPLED JAMIROQUI….OR WHATEVER HIS NAME IS…THE DUDE FROM LONDON!!!

JAZMINE SULLIVAN SANG “RESENTMENT” WHICH BEE DID ON HER DEJA VU ALBUM….YA’LL SHOULD DO A “WHO SANG IT BETTER” POST IF U HAVEN’T…I LOVE HER VOICE.

Feelin’ Jazmine’s voice. She reminds me of Faith Evans for some reason.

Im looking forward to Beyonce, Mos Def, and Keri H. I heard of Eric Crawley, that kat can sing on the real, reminds me of brandy and that dude from 112 a little. I also hope Lil’ Mama regains her composure and comes back harder. I’m praying for you lil mama!

I LOVE KID SISTER AND HER SONGS. SOLANGE SUCKS!

Wow, J Sullivan’s song is heart wrenchingly soulful! Love Steph Jones style and smooth vocals. And lastly, JANELLE MONAE takes us to a fantasy land we’ve never known in today’s music. Heck, I wanna be a cybergirl too! lol

I’m excited! Good luck to all these artist in the upcoming year.

Do not deny Teyana Taylor. I hope she comes and destroys everybody in 2008. “Google Me”, yes, is cheesy at parts, but her flow is undeniable. I had never heard her music before today, but she is now an artist i will defnintely be checking for. Those people who say she is wack are simply not on her level yet. Ya’ll better watch out, because she is coming big time.

MIGHT I ADD. a person that we as the urban culture should look for…

Aubrey “Drake” Graham. a beast indeed.

The same guy from Degrassi. Good Actor. Even better artist when it comes to lyrics. Look out for him in 2008, he’s the truth like the judge and I’m not just saying that just to say it. Concreteloop knows wassup with the kid and everybody should recognize it too.

COPP COMEBACK SEASON available online now.

*not affiliated with allthings-fresh.net or thisisdrake.com
just a real big fan of his work as an artist musically and an aspiring actor.

Very happy to see Kid Sister but also where is The Cool Kids??? They are doing big things. Chicago represent!

Hey the list that you posted is what’s hot Brian!

Keri Hilson is tha chick!..I wasn’t too fond of her until I heard “Miscommunication”..the girl can sing very well and can write..her vocal arrangement on the songs is what’s hot!..Keri do it girl!

Janelle Monae is my girl too..I love her ecclectic and animated style…she has capativated the A-Town funk style..lol..can’t wait unitl the suit II is released

Steph Jones can sing on the real..he didn’t make too much noise with his single but he has alot of potential give him chance you guys because I will

Proton has a bit of that Gym Class Heroes sound that might take off..I guess I’ll give that a try since I do like Gym Class Heroes

Teyana’s music is for the youngins out here..no shade on the girl’s hustle she been putting her name out there alot lately..”Google Me” is catchy but not enough for me to go cop her album but like I said before “Traffic Stop” is the shit..lol

Jazmine Sullivan is the new Phylis Hyman..that girl can sang her ass off!..she got a little Kim Burrell in her..love her to death can’t wait until her album drops she is indeed the shit!

Kid Sister is from Markham..which is realy hood..so her hood persona is for real you guys..she just has that hipster look to her..wasn’t feeling “Pro Nails” but I like Kid Sister because she rep the chi all day!

I like I15’s “Lost in love” really nice smooth pop/R&B track..i dunno we’ll see what’s the next single maybe they will be the first young boy band that would I would purchase..lol

Solange Knowles singles that she leaked were hot!…”White Picked Dreams” is what’s hot and “ChampageChronicNightCap”..I remember when Brian posted those songs everyone was truly hating saying she will never be like her sister..well duh!!! she is not like her..her vibe is totally different..let Solange get pass you guys..remember she been writing songs for her sister for awhile and her sister gets alot of the credit ;)..I’m awating for some more material from her..so Solange do what it do baby!

im sorry but all of these people mentioned are not goin anywhere, except keri hilson, but even shes only gonna go but oh so far.

Out of all of these artist I think the 5 we should look for is Steph Jones,Keri Hilson, Jazmine Sullevan ( The next Christette Michle) Tiffany Evans and Solonge. The rest are done. Keri has already proved that she can write a hit. If she can write herself a hit out the ball park then she’s in. I think Jazmine might have the harder time because her voice is so powerful and they mights not think that it’s mainstream enough. As sad as that is. Solonge is going to have to prove that she can stand on her own and not be in her sister’s shadow and her sister cast a big shadow. What will the sound be like. We got a taste of that on two songs but she is going to need to establish herself on her own standard and she has already started that.

based on the buzz in the A, im calling for Keri Hilson, Proton, and Janelle Monae. Everyone is saying they aren’t interested but when these 2 singers and 1 rap group blow up or all of a sudden become popular everyone is going to be jumping on the bandwagon. quick.

Thank you LI ! People can sleep if they want to, but don’t say we didn’t tell you first!!

Long live the Wondaland Arts Society!! Cindi Mayweather/ Janelle Monae’s da bomb-diggity!

Jazz, Keri, Kid Sister were hott. Solange is doing a good job with that track, makes me wonder what a full album would sound like. Interested in hearing more Steph and Teyana material as well.

Solange and Steph repping the H!!!!!!!!

Ummm…It seems as if the should recheck there list!!! cuz HOLLY wants to go to california but she’s kinda WEERD!!!! lol

I hate when y’all do a Page 1 and Page 2 under the same post.

i love proton, janelle, jazmine and keri hilson and i think they ar all extremely talented

my only prob with janelle is that she released an album this year but theres been no promotion, no video- nothing. well i live in the UK so mayb its just that she hasnt released anything here, but i havent seen any vids form her

i think she will need to push her music more to be successful, but like i said i think the above are exceptionally talented

Keri Hilson is my fav because she is a real talent. The rest may be forgotten. I can’t wait for her album.

Why is Solange getting reintroduce?

That’s just pathetic.

BEYONCE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
can’t wait

IM PROLLY GONNA CHECK FOR MISS SOLANGE THIS TIME…AND KERI HILSON IS A HOOOOOOOTTT ONE ALSO…DEFINITELY GETTING THAT…..

WHITNEY…MARIAH….JANET…….AND JENNIFER IS ON MY LISTS ALSO….

BUT MY GURL MONICA GONNA SURPRISE THE WORLD…….CANT WAIT….

[...] Concreteloop::: Artist to look out for 2008 [...]

I like Eric Crawley’s version of White Picket Dream better Solange…Its still nice tho.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HO2UjZwYFwE

I am looking forward to hearing more of Keri Hilson in 2008. She makes hot music. I am feeling that song ‘Miscommunication’ with Timbaland.

Kid Sister is my favorite artist! Her shows are hella cool!

JAZMINE CAN SING…I LOVE THIS SONG..I FEEL THE EMOTION EVEN THOUGH I DONT FEEL THIS WAY…I WENT TO SAME MIDDLE SCHOOL AS HER…I WAS BEHIND HER THOUGH..I WAS IN THE SAME CLASS AS HER BROTHER…SHE IS AMAZING…HOPE THE WORLD ACCEPTS HER..I KNOW THEY WILL

Jazmine Sullivan - In Love With Another Man lyrics
If I could… could forget him
I would… please believe me
And I know that I should throw the towel in
But baby it’s not… not that easy
You treat me so much better than him
And if I was sane there’d be no competition
But… but I’m in love with someone else
And I’m so sorry
I’m in love with another man
And I know it aint right

You should go and find someone else
Who can treat you right
Give you the world
Someone who understands the man you are
Cause baby you shine so bright
And I would just dim your star
A girl who’ll treat you like you treat them
Boy I know there’s plenty women
Who would love to have a man like you
But I’m in love with someone else…
I’m so sorry baby
I know I aint right… no no no no no no
For what I did to you baby

I can’t explain why it’s him and not you
But at the end of the day baby I just don’t want to
Cause he aint no doctor
And we always seem to fight, he got the perfect body
And sometimes he don’t even treat me right
Oh but when I’m with him, but when I’m with him
When I’m with him, aint nobody else like it
I’m so sorry baby that I have to do this to you
But I can’t go on pretending…
Cause I love him, I love him
And I’m so sorry… do you hear me?
I’m so sorry but I love that man
I love that man…
He aint always right , but he’s just right for me
I’m in love with another man… and I’m so sorry…
But I love someone else…

Jazmin and Proton is hot! Jazmin’s voice is amazing! wow!

Solange- I’m proud of her. She’s stepping out on her own and doing her own thing. You go girl!

Is it just me, or do you get a Michel’le vibe when you listen to Teyana?

j Sullivan is my girl! Thats the kind of music we need baby!

http://WWW.MYSPACE.COM/THEHOODIEAWARDS

Will 2008 be the year of REAL singers who ACTUAL KNOW HOW TO SING?? :0
Let us pray!

Well lets see…To be honest, I’m not really interested in anybody but Tiffany Evans.
Se has a very strong voice & I liked “Promise Ring” and now that I’ve heard
“I’m Grown” I’m interested to see what else is coming.

yay for steph jones!!!

i love solange.

she is so different and i love that!

stop comparing her to beyonce…..she will shine in her own way!

you go solange!
*repays her song for the 20th time*

I like all of the artists. Jasmine Sullivan’s voice is crazy. I also like Brandon Hines and I Love a new girl named Wynter Gordan…she’s the truth!

I see y’all still sleepin’ on that girl
http://www.myspace.com/cariller

But she’s gonna SEE this industry real soon

Yay, new music!! Well have to say i like all these artist (especialy miss Janelle Monae, her album was hot Butta!) I’m liking the new artist: Solange beautiful voice, lov the song and waiting to hear more music from her.

A song by I15 i liked, ive searched for them on Youtube and didn’t find nothing but garbage, but this song here is real good! Hopefully they bring something new.

Kid Sister, don’t really like “Damn Girl” but her sound is new so i won’t sleep on her.

I knew Steph Jones was hottness when i’ve seen him on so many damn videos! I’m highly lovin “Melody To Snap To” i can jam to dat!!

Proton,lol. I really like the song and the vibe they have. I love ‘weird’ artist such as hiself and can’t wait for more music from him.

Keri is already in it sortof, but anyway, love her vocal and this song is real nice!

Miss Jazmine!! Its impossible to ignore such a thick, soulful voice like hers. I love the songs i’ve heard from her, loved them, and i’m alll ready to buy one of her albums!!

i likes Tiffaney and Teyana.
*I think the radio is actually going to be worth listening to in 08!!!!!

PROTON is the new face of ATL HIP HOP… quote me on that… don’t sleep.. all these “NEW KIDS” are still “New On the BLOCK” ….earn your stripes homie…

Janelle Monae: Amazing Vocalist and Entertainer. Legend in the Making

Jazmine: THE TRUTH. A LEGEND. Christte Michelle? R u #$%ing serious???? This lady is way more than that..

Kid Sister: Loves it. Love the image, love her.. been familiar with the Kid for the past 1 1/2 .. Chicago music scene is poppin off…

Keri Hilson: The sweetest artist [ other than Ciara] that I worked with.. shes a double threat.. amazing writer and decent preformer…

hmmmm.. those are the people that caught my eye…

Oh.. and Steph.. he could get it.. lol.. eye candy is always a plus.. and whoever said he sounds like Jamiroquai [sp?] .. slightly.. and maybe even look wise too…..

Steph Jones is amazing! to #117, her name is Wynter Gordon and she is incredible….checked her myspace out this morning with a bunch of her youtubes. http://www.myspace.com/wynter85

Jazmine Sullivan = Yes!

Every once in a while…one true burst of talent, GOD-given talent, breaks through.

Alrite alrite here’s the link

http://www.myspace.com/ericcrawley

wynter gordon is good too forgot about her, and i hope steph brings it!

Who are these people? I want Whitney, Usher and Jennifer Hudson (maybe even RAY J) to drop albums. These people here look like bubblegum artist (ONE HIT WONDERS!) Not even interested.

Year 08′ seems likes its going to be a lot of poetry, slow, acoustic type music. Different..and still not interested.

Unattractive: You can’t base music off of “looks”. Listen to the shit first!

SantoGold: http://www.myspace.com/santogold
SpankRock: http://www.myspace.com/spankrock

For the Win.

Good lookin out Brian!

Firstly, I like the Proton song, its catchy and different.

I liked ‘Pro Nails’ but Kid Sister’s voice can be VERY annoying if you’re in the wrong mood! That would make it hard for me to buy the album.

Solange’s song is nice cuz its different. I’m rooting for her tho!

Love love Keri Hilson and Jazmine’s voice is CRAZY! Love her song. Definately waiting for albums from these ladies!

Oh, and I’m kinda feeling Jane Monet’s song too, its different as well but I like!

Good luck to all these artists in the ‘08!

WHAT ABOUT “THE DREAMER”
HE GOT EVERYBODY “SCREAMING ON THA DANCEFLOOR”

HE SHOULD BE UP HERE TOO..

WHAT ABOUT “HOLLYWEERD”

HAVE YOU EVER MADE LOVE TO A WEERDO…ITS AABOUT TO BE CRAAZY IN 08

I think I’m really lookin forward 2 hearin more from I-15, cause I’m diggin Lost In Love so much….and Teyana Taylor song was cool.
All these other folks havent really gotten my attention yet… but i gotta say i liked some of these songs so ill see wat they b up 2 in 2008..
Peace!

Def feel Steph Jones, Teyana Taylor, and Keri Hilson!!! I gotta listen to Janelle Monae again but I love her energy! I also like Jaiden alot. I think Janet is gonna kil this year and Mariah too. To #117 I checked out Wynter Gordan (it’s actually Gordon on her page) and I think I’m in love! I love love Wynter Gordon cause I think she’s amazing and I can’t stp watching her youtubes. Jazmine Sullivan has one of the strongest voices coming out next ear and you can’t forget Jennifer Hudson

There were alot of talented people on this list but Wynter Gordon really shouldve been on it as well…..check her out at http://www.myspace.com/wynter85 or http://www.youtube.com/wyntergordontv

I’m looking forward to so many artist this upcoming year.

Janelle Monae
Steph Jones
Jazmine Sullivan
Jennifer Hudson
Beyonce
Solange

but another one you all should really look out for is this guy who’s huslin hard to get himself known - Frankee Razor. His voice is strong and beautifully soulful. What do you all think?

Check out his myspace page:

enjoy!

Wynter Gordon is dope!! I like Keri and Janelle Monae also

i love i15’s song. it’s sooo smooth~

Jazmine Sullivan is a beast!!!!!!!!!!!!! That chicks style is sooo smooth. I’m lovin this single.

Teyanna’s performance is all bravado but lacks real confidence.

Jazmines song was real nice. Her voice reminds me of Lauryn Hill’s singing voice.

I like a number of the artist listed however, there is one important name missing. JAIDEN, CL Artist Spotlight September 25th, 2007. There isn’t one artist that can stand up to his live performances, writing, and ability to compose/produce via piano. Listennnn!!!

WATCH JAIDEN IN ‘O8 - http://www.myspace.com/jaideniii

Steph Jones- After hearing the single featured for a second time. I really like it. I’m looking forward to what he will bring.

Keri- I’ve loved miscommunication for while now and I think she has a really good voice that you can just sit back and listen to. She sings about normal mundane life happenings. She’s real. Bring it in th 08′!

Jazmine- WOW! Her voice is amazing, she brings me back to what singers should sounds like. Sound like they have talent and are not just electronic voices.

Tetyana- HMMMM. I never knew you in the first place to google you. I would think that Pharrell would come up with something more clever than for his artist.

i15- I really like them. It’s been a while since I’ve heard a boy group i was interested in. I love their song superstar.

Solange- Maybe, I need to listen to the song again. Nonetheless, there was no emotion behind the words so it felt kinda flat to me. However, I do trust that she is a very creative person. Congrat on the publishing deal!

Janalle- She really has a different style. So, some of her songs appeal to me and others don’t, but I also don’t think I’ve heard enough of her material to really judge either.

Kid SIster- She seems to have some good club bangers.

Tiffany- I think she is cute and will really appeal to teens. Plus, I think she has a nice voice.

Lastly, the rapper dudes. I guess I’ll see what they come up nice.

Good luck to all the newcomers

YO FAM YALL GOTTA GO TO MYSPACE AND CHECK OUT MATEO…HIT HIS PAGE UP MY BOY BE DOIN HIS THING HE MOS DEF CAN BLOW

this is hot i love this song u go gurl.!!!!!

I think Michelle Williams will be one of those artist to watch her snippet of stop this car has been leaked and people love it and is going crazy over 2minute of it the full version isn’t even out yet !

I googled Teyana and aint shyt on there bout her but i like her song it aint better din Tiffany’s though. Solonge killed it. i used to think she couldn’t sing but now i think she can.

i’m looking forward to brandy more than anybody i hope this er year cuz she deserve than most artist out right now she just seems so real to me

Here is an artist you should watch in 2008! Warner Bros. Newest aquisition from my hometown PITTSBURGH, PISTOLVANIA…..Wiz Khalifa! His new jam that hit radio airwaves is “Say Yeah” check the young boy out….Ya Dig! 412

OMG! Jazmine sullivan is amazing. I’ve heard three songs of hers, need u bad, silent tears, and I’m in love with another man. I am surely going to get her album when it drops cuz I know it is going to be FIRE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The girl is TOOOOOOO talented and she can sing.
