WHEN DID SHE ROCK IT BETTER?: ERYKAH BADU
Tuesday, February 5, 2008

Hate it or love it, you can’t deny that Erykah Badu has always had an eclectic style. The singer (who just renamed her new album) was recently spotted at the Wailing Wall in Jerusalem (R) rocking her favorite scarf. She was first spotted with the scarf last year when she was out in West Hollywood shopping (L). When Did She Rock It Better? One more comparison after the cut.

She seriously looks like a straight up bum in the orange hat. She looked cute with it on her head

I like it better at the wall but that’s hot that she has a whole fit to match it in the first pic-it’s a great pattern. also love the cold weather coat she has on-just not w/the rest of the fit.

Good for the sister that she went to Jerusalem to see where her ancestors came from.

At first I voted for the second “look” but after seeing her in the profile shot rockin’ the first look I changed my mind! She is a brilliant woman who is not afraid to go “out on a limb” in her creative expression. It is artists like her who make the world interesting and who in hindsight after she is gone will be understood on a deeper level. We never truly honor the “Erykah Badus” of the world while we have them! Sometimes many will say she is weird but at least she has the courage to not fall into the cookie cutter mentality of self expression! Imagine, she can’t ask anyone before leaving her home “How do I look?”, because there is no standard by which she can be judged! The world needs more people like her! You go girl!

the 2nd one. the first is too matchy but i love the color clashes in the 2nd one. if she ditched the orange hat, she wouldn’t look like a bum. she’s so beautiful. love her

Hotdamn I love this chick. She got that rainboho thing goin on. Ain’t nobody dress like her, because people too caught up in doing somebody else’s fashion or what they think the majority thinks is hot. Minus them big ass bags under her eyes, she looks great in both pics.

Can’t deny Erykah has a funky-ass style. I love it. But only she can do it! I’m definitely going to pick up her new album on 2/26. The girl is killing it! Work it Ms Badu.

In the second pic, what happened to her mouth? Then under it showing her ring, I wonder is she trying to hide her mouth, now that it’s a close-up!

Just another example of how beauty is subjective……… However I think she is flawlessly pretty.

That’s Erykah. She always has a distinctive look to her. Who cares. As long as she is happy then I am happy. It doesn’t take away the fact that she is super talented.

despite the fact that she is very eclectic, she is a very very naturally beautiful black woman. and she is not afraid of her ethnicity. she’s not going for the over exposed “media thinks its a good idea” way of dress or appearance. that is highly commendable. GO MS BADU!!

erica is a Biter Lisa Bonet had that style way before she even came out. And if she was “all that” why did 2 good men leave her? ( 3000 and common?)

I love Erykah’s music, but her style is always weird and eccentric.

In that second picture she walking around looking like an extra off the corner on hbo and ya call this “eclectic” just cause she doing her own thing this shit is not hot. I know it and so do the rest of ya. The I aint washed my ass look will never be hot, never…

you can’t judge ms badu by the same standard of beauty used with rhi or bey it’s like comparing baby phat to banana republic one is not better than the other they are just different, really different. You won’t catch ms badu in a long sandy brown lacefront and a super tight emerald dress and fairer comparision would be with an earthy afro conscious sister like india arie ya feel me?
