MUSIC NEWS: MICHELLE WILLIAMS ALBUM PUSHED BACK / JAZMINE SULLIVAN LIVE / T-BOZ SIGNS SOLO DEAL?

Thursday, July 24, 2008

michelle1.gifMichelle Williams, former bandmate of Destiny’s Child has pushed back her album from an August 12th release to October 7th. Despite “We Break the Dawn” hitting #1 on Billboard’s dance charts, I think the album has been pushed back due to a lack of promotion. There was a dispute where BET wasn’t giving Michelle’s video any airplay.

The plan is to send out “The Greatest” as Michelle’s official second single, as well as churning out “Hello Heartbreak” for dance radio. The general response to Michelle’s material has been positive overall, so hopefully this new strategy for the album release works out. I definitely don’t want Michelle to suffer from what Kelly endured during the U.S. release of her sophomore effort, Ms. Kelly.

In the mean time, Solange and Michelle were both due out to release albums two weeks apart, so you can still pick up SoL-Angel & the Hadley Street Dreams (check out the official album cover here) on the 26th of August.

JAZMINE SULLIVAN LIVE

This isn’t really news, but the internet has been going nuts (not to mention my inbox) over this new live performance from Jazmine Sullivan. “In Love With Another Man” is the song that had J. Records executives on their feet when she performed it live for them, and apparently, it sealed the deal for the 21-year-old songstress. Well, here she is performing in the Seventeen Magazine offices, with just her pipes and the piano.

Remember that Artist Spotlight we did on her last year…

Look out for her debut album, Fearless, in stores soon. This girl is singin’, ya’ll…

T-BOZ SIGNS SOLO DEAL?

tboz.jpg

T-Boz of legendary female group TLC has signed on for a solo deal with SRC/Universal. I’m a little hesitant about this project, even though I have always loved T-Boz’s trademark raspy voice. According to sources, T-Boz has already begun work on her untitled solo debut album, and has been collaborating with Dallas Austin, Polow Da Don and Raphael Saadiq.

This could actually shape up to be interesting. I would love to hear what Raphael would do with T-Boz’s unique voice.

I guess the only reason I’m slightly unsure about this solo venture is because Chili has found little to no success with this solo project that she’s been working on, with its lead single, “Dumb Dumb Dumb.” I haven’t really heard anything else from her since, nor anything else about her project. I’m just a little worried about how T-Boz will be received when her material starts to surface.

It seems that the back up singers for Destiny Child cannot get a break. Kelly two albums flopped and now Michelle album is getting pushed back. What’s next??? Glad to see T-Boz doing her thing. Chilli’s single did not go over well because of the dumb lyrics. The girl is almost forty trying to sing a teenager song. She has a nice voice and would do better with ballads or songs for her age group. Jazzmine SUllivan is a force to be reckoned with!

No…for real…I wish them all luck in their careers and in this “crazy business” but being honest…I don’t know how far it’ll get them. Michelle has been coming out for the longest. I have yet to hear a song wit just her that I enjoy. I like Jazmine Sullivan’s song, and for T-Boz, she gotta come back a lil reinvented and hard or she will just be passed over. I hope they have a good plan for her being solo, her voice may need some other vocal support to have a hot song.

I’m not even a fan of Michelle but I wish she would get to the promotion she deserves cause that’s really messed up how Kelly went down. Anyway I wish her well.

Seems like Beyonce’ and the whole Knowles family have BET and the entire Entertainment Biz on lock…which isn’t good for Michelle or Kelly, not to mention any former Destiny’s Child member. She never lacks in the promotion department. They probably blow up her phone looking for some venture to get her out there, or it could just be great management and a lil blackballing (just a little). You definetly do see where VIACOM’s loyalty lies.

GO Michelle!!! I love this chick not as much as I love Solange though. She really was the suprise of the year for me and a very pleasant suprise @ that. BET sucks!!!!

Jasmine was in the Lou just last week-end. She has so much talent!

T-Boz always needed Chili to balance her out for me. Idk she just does.

15.

Thursday, July 24, 2008 /

@ #3 I agree with the T-Boz comment. She most def would have to come back on the scene hard and learn from her friend (Chilli) that she need some mature lyrics. But at the same time that I can understand why Chilli came out the “Dumb” song because that’s the kind songs TLC did back in the day but again they need to take it to a new level of maturity.

Jazmine has a wonderful voice. BUT… she won’t get far , being the state of the music industry today. The industry doesn’t value talent, only what they can make into a meat stick.

Jazmine and her voice oozes Class and Jazz, not Azz for cash…

I see her as being a novelty for a moment, and then fading like many other talented artists that you wonder what the hell happened to.

Jazmine just put out music that you are proud of , and keep singing for your fans. Longevity will be yours if you do that, and not succumb to mainstream media.

Don’t sign with BAD BOY, or with MISSY… bad boy won’t pay you , and after your novelty wears off Missy will not help you anymore…

DO YOU GIRL.

loooooooooooool ahaahahhahah i told everybody since the beginning that michelle album will be pushed back,the knowles are soo smart!! solange got her cd first, and euhmm when bey is supposed to release her cd if michelle is going to bring her cd on november,,
ANYWAY MICHELLE = foolish ,and kelly = foolish.
nobody wants to ear her,she neva sang on DC songs anyway, she never had at least one COMPLETE VERSE in one destiny song
she should stop making music rite now, and people should stop being nice with her, its time she wake up and realise that she was hires only because a trio is betterthan a duet!!
she didnt get any promo,she wasnt on that magazine with keri hilson and teyanna, she’s not at any event, nobody dreams to work with her, we dont see her on get my bodied video, and we dont see her on loose my breath video
NOBODY CARES FOR HER

ITS THE TRUTH AND IM NOT EVEN MEAN? AND NOT EVEN A HATER IM REALISTIC

IM WAITING FOR RESPONSE

Jazmine voice and talent is medicine for my ears. I wish her the best, she has been grinding for a while now glad to see her finally surfacing. ( Remember her as a kid on Apollo?)

I love T-Boz, and anything TLC i truly wish her the best with her solo efforts.

Everyone Please Lay off Chilli she doing her “thang”. or Am i the only one who liked “Dumb Dumb Dumb” ( singing it in my head ) It was a good effort in my opinion well…. all except that reference to nintendo.

I love that pic of T-Boz she looks so beautiful and mature. I only hope the new material that she’s working on matches the pic.

I’m sorry but I am not a fan of Michelle nor her vocals. It always sounds like she’s screeching or straining. And I also don’t understand why she’s putting out all these dance singles. The chick has no rhythm! She’s like totally awkward w/ her body! I’m not even sure ballands could save her…damn sure didn’t save Kelly!

I love Jazmine’s vocals, but like someone earlier posted, talented artists receieve no respect…I fear that Jazmine will be shipped to the long lost land were talented artists go…such as…Tamia, Tweet, & Chrisette Michele…sad

Oh yea…Michelle along with Kelly ought to jump ship and leave the trifling Knowles alone! Why are they the only ones who can’t see that the only people their family is concerned about making it, is their own? Matthew is trifling and needs to be called on his ish!

Thursday, July 24, 2008 /

#18 Here is your response…… I somewhat agree with you about kelly she does need to switch mangement or something. But she did do her share of singing in Destiny’s Child its just that no one notices that. Could be that her and Beyonce sound alot alike and in the begining everyone thought it was beyonce always singing. And in loose my breath (the song that you mention) she has the whole second verse (might be first) but you right people just dont pay attention to her while she was in the group and even solo she some hows seems to still give you back up singer.

T-Boz doesn’t have the backing that Chilli does, but I still think she’ll do well. Chilli is signed to Tricky Biz managment so right off the bat she’s got Cristyle in her corner to write for her. We big up Keri on the writing, but seem to forget that Cristyle is the one who has been the go 2 writer this year, and Cristyle also has upcoming placements on Beyonce,Brandy,Jennifer Hudson,and Monica albums so Chilli is in some great company…it’s more about her timing.

Jazmine is the hottest real r&b artist out right now, and I see her debut album being a big seller, but doing it slowly like Amy Winehouse. I think that she will own the Grammy’s 09 for the simple fact that every couple of years, you have the r&b artist who takes the world by storm and get’s 5 grammys. Lauryn,Alicia,Beyonce,Amy, and I’m not saying she’ll get 5 but I do think she’ll get atleast 2 because she’s unique and plus she has Salaam Remi in her corner who scored big with Lauryn & Amy.

Michelle, good luck and best wishes.

BULLSHIT ON MICHELLE’S CD BEING PUSHED BACK…MUSICWORLD/COLUMBIA SHOULD HAVE BEEN PROMOTING HER FROM THE BEGINNING…STUPID F*CKS!

SOLANGE HAS DONE ESSENCE MUSIC FESTIVAL, PROMO TOURS, 106&PARK/TRL, ETC…..THIS IS SOME STRAIGHT BULLSHIT!!!

AND THE KNOWLES CREW ALWAYS GETS UPSET WHEN PEOPLE SAY THEIR FAVORITISM….BUT LOOK AT THE SH*T THAT GOES DOWN

IS IT THE LABEL OR MANAGEMENT…CAUSE THIS SH*T RIGHT HERE STINKS TO HIGH HEAVEN!!!

wow jasmine, u betta sang it! I like the key that song is in. J records you better put that album out next week, you know the business is!

Music World, tisk tisk tisk. putting yet another Knowles in front! Matthew would have been AT BET if it was Solange’s or GOD FORBID Beyonce’s single that wasnt getting no play. Michelle you better start takin names before you go straight to Itunes only!!

And TBoz and Raphael Saadiq had a song on “Instant Vintage” called “Different Times” that I LOVED. If thats and indication of what he will we doing with her, she has got me. Her voice is one of a kind.

Michelle can probably dew (as in mountain) much better if she were to cut all ties with Matthew Knowles. That guy is a “fraud” when it comes to her and Kelly. It`s a damn shame he won`t fulfill his duties as a manager. Now her album has been pushed back 2 1/2 months; not good for her at all. By that time we might be “bombarded” by Matthew Knowles`s golden child, we know who, at which point she definitely won`t be a priority.

That`s why Michelle and Kelly should think business and dew what`s in their best interest regardless of feelings. Afterall this is a business and they want to get their material heard. It won`t happen with this “FRAUD” Matthew Knowles…….

I love Michelle’s single and have been diggin the music that has been leaking. She really needs new management. It’s so obvious what the Knowles agenda is. She was suppose to come out two weeks before Solange and people were giving good feedback on her music. Suddenly BET won’t show her videos and her album has to be pushed back 2months? Oh but Solange ironically can still be released on her normal date.I hope Michelle’s album doesn’t crack cause she really sounds like she did a good job with it.

I love Jazmin Sullivan! I’m so excited for R&B this year between her and JHud. I think this song shows her individuality from the Lauren realm people put her in. She sounds so much more like Kim Burrell.

Much luck to T-Boz.

48.

Thursday, July 24, 2008 /

It’s funny how Solange got all the promotion when both of them were suppose to release albums. Matthew didn’t have any more money left over for Michelle. I see Solange was everywhere performing getting her so called new sound out. Michelle better watch out before her and Kelly both be across the ocean.
Jazzmin sounded great. TBOZ working w some good folks.

I have to agree with number 17. Jazmine has the talent that BeNasty wish she had but even with the shedding of the baby fat (that’s what it was ya’ll, you know how it is transitioning from teen to young adult for some) she possibly may not get the backing she so greatly deserves! Don’t even go near Puffy and look at Missy’s trail! I love me some Missy, don’t get me wrong but whatever happened to Torey Carter, 702, Nicole Wray, and Tweet?! That plus the fact we all know what Missy’s really after!

OMG….For anybody who could make me tear up on just the first few seconds of them singing…just means something right there. I mean this Jasmine Sullivan girl ain’t for the weak-minding kind. THAT’S WHAT U CALL REAL SINGING! Bump Ashanti and Rihanna and all that “studio” singing (if u want to call it singing), Jazmine is in here own box. She is definitely and OFFICIALLY on my list, even up there past Beyonce! Thank you Concreteloop for posting this video cuz you have gained Jazmine a true fan right here! Let’s keep the spotilight on this TRUE GEM right here…ya girl Jazmine Sullivan is in the building!

LET'S READ CL POSTERS!

Thursday, July 24, 2008 /

@ 19…You’re a dumas…(remember the commercial)..I am really gonna create a campaign so that people are not allowed to post unless they read..first..It clearly states that Michelle’s album is coming out in October..not NOVEMBER….

Oh and I do agree with # 38…I believe that in about 10-20 years or some mess like that (lol)..Music World’s deceptive tricks of the industry are gonna come to light and it won’t be pretty…similar to the character “Curtis” in Dreamgirls…just something isn’t clean with this company…

T-Boz will be interesting. I agree that she needs to come with a lyrical content/lyrics that matches her maturity. Artists must realize that they can`t have the same type of lyrics that they had when they were in their 20`s once they reach a certain level of maturity; it just won`t work. I`m a huge MJ fan, but let me tell you if he were to come back with material as if he was still in his 20`s it would look rather “ridiculous”..
I`m an equal opportunist so I would even call MJ out should he come back with school boy lyrics.

With the right material T-Boz could make a good run at it. I`m rooting for her and she does look “fierce”; very sexy…

Here we go again. Michelle Williams and Kelly Rowland need to get with new management if they expect to spread their wings. Even boring azz Solange is getting more press than these two. Beyonce is about to drop a new album and new movie before the end of the year. Get ready for Beyonce overload again.

Looks like Michelle Williams is going to suffer the same fate as Kelly Rowland.

The Supremes and TLC were and still are my favorite girl groups. However, I feel that T-Boz and Chili have no real careers without the group. They can’t carry TLC without Left Eye and we all know that Left Eye is irreplaceable. That is why it is good to have a back up plan in the entertainment business (college education or something). In the entertainment business, you are sitting on top of the world one minute and stretched out underneath of it the next.

Wow, They pushed another member from Destiny Child’s album back. If ya’ll haven’t noticed when they pushed back Kelly Rowland’s album, it was around the time Beyonce’s cd were in the process to be released. This time Solange’s album is coming out in August and they pushed Michelle’ s cd to October? Hmmm….make you wonder. They want Solange to get as much publicity as possible b4 her release and forget about Michelle. That’s cold!!!
Jazmine please come hard with your cd add some bonus track just in case the whole album is leak b4 the release date. T-Boz working with a good producers, she may have a chance just as long she doesn’t release it at a bad timing. Nick and Mariah…GO AWAY!!!

Tboz May Have A Chance Since Her Voice Was The Leading Voice In T L C. But I Really Wished They Would Have Chose Mirrah And Became A Group, She Was Within The Age Bracket And Had Talent And Mad Energy And Seem Like A Positive Person. I Know She Struggled With Quick Lyrics Pertaining To Subject Matter But With Time I Think That Could Have Been Solved. I Dont Even Remember The Girl They Chose Something That Has To Do With Chicken. Anyhow, The Point Is I Saw Group Success With Mirrah, Now I See Individual Struggle. And Yeah Chilli Dumb Dumb Dumb Song Made Her Look Like A Reflection Of The Title. R I P Left Eye!

Michelle needs to sit down. Her, Kelly and Solo are still trying to ride the coat tails of DC’s success and IT’S OVER!!!!! Break into something new. Find another niche. Crappy music and flopped out albums will not keep old DC fans interested in you- you will become more of an annoyance to them.

I do like Jazmin’s voice. Sang girl!!!

T-Boz need to sit down too. Solo album? Girl did u hear yourself at the BET awards??
That was pitiful and embarrassing. My advice: Raise your kid and take your meds.

Michelle im praying for you because even though u and kelly have good voices…..Matthew “the crook” knowles is going to do any and everything to make sure nobody outshines his daughters……have u ever heard of one of beyonce’s albums being pushed back……hell to the nawl. Jazmine sullivan has an amazing voice she is what we need now instead of Ashanti, Amerie, Brooke Valentine, Cassie, and all them other broads that cannot sing. As for you T-Box i luv u girl i hope u do the dammn thing. im rooting for u!

didn’t she try that back in 96′ ? with that wack song she did with Jermaine Dupri? almost 13 years late, shouldn’t did when we were interested.
girl, give it up….I don’t mind hearing T boz voice alittle in a group format…but a whole album, full length songs, without left eye and chill coming in on verses to distract us from her lack vocal talent…girl make a wish…hope it’ll come true. stick to writing poetry…diaries or whatever

MICHELLE WILLIAMS SOUNDS LIKE A DRUGGED UP GRANDMA. SHE SUCKS ASS AND HER ALBUM WONT SELL. IF KELLY CANT SELL, NEITHER CAN SHE, AND SHE WAS THE LEAST IMPORTANT MEMBER OF DESTINY’S CHILD.

JAZMINE SULLIVAN=THE TRUTH!!

T-BOZ, I LOVE HER, BUT I HONESTLY HOPE SHE MAKES MATURE MUSIC AND DOESN’T TRY 2 COMPETE THE LIL GIRLS IN THE INDUSTRY. THAT’S THE T-BOZ WE WANT.

I agree with Brian, Raphael Saadiq collaboration will be hot. They’ve collaborate twice before. Once on Saadiq’s solo effort, “Instant Vintage,” on a track entitled “Different Times,” it’s hot song about the ups and downs of life. Saadiq also produced a song from TLC’s 3D album (one of the most slept on tracks of that time IMO) “So So Dumb.” Check both tracks out and you’ll know that T and Saadiq is coming w/ that fire. I do hope that she sticks w/ going against the tide like TLC did and not conform to whats on radio today. Good luck T-Boz!

Congrats to Michelle for the success on her single “We Break The Dawn.” “The Greatest” is a nice song, I see it doing well in the Adult Contemperary or Adult R&B sector, not sure about mainstream or pop. It’s still a great song for Michelle.

for once,mathew knowles did a great move,seriously am so happy 2 hear that michelle’s album has been pushed back bcoz it would have bn a disastrous flop..we break the dawn received only 350 airplays from rythimic radios,now tel me hw many copies can u sell with only 350 airplays since urban and pop stations didnt even bother 2 play it,since its peaked at 605 on urabn mediabse chart and 205 on pop mediabase chart….stop this car should be the 2nd single not the greatest song…but still we break the dawn could be a hit in europe..

am anticipatin t boz project,i ve always loved her voice…but was she and chilli dropped from laface records?but universal records kill people’s career,lolok at mya,ashanti,erykah badu..they cant even sell albums…even nelly is on the verge f floppin since his singles dont get no love on radios

jazmine sullivan can go 2 hell,i hate need u bad,it awful but i like her voice,she should come with anotha solid single than that reggae influenced single

80.

why?

thats too bad for michelle but i cant say that i didnt see it coming

yes yes yes yes yes, realll talent,all i need is an album from her,keri,solange,and bey…oh and ciara and i’ll have my r&b fix for the rest of the year i promise,jazmine is tha truth for that performance real talk

ummm i dont know if i wanna hear that raspy voice on 11-14 songs on an album….i mean i love t-boz…but i love her in a group,where we have other voices to hear also…idk,i’m hoping for the best for her because i definitley do not think she should sit on her ass and not get any work doing anything….so with that said..good luck t-boz

@21 - Although you were a bit “direct” you may have a point, however, Michelle was in the Get Me Bodied video because that, in my opinion was one of Bey’s best ones of all times. Remember, there were four girls in the intro of the video, Bey, Kelly, Solange and Michelle. Pull it up on YouTube. Kelly did ok on her fist album but it was in the bargin bin within weeks and for her to have been formerly a member of a multi platinum group, that’s horrific. That second album went straight to the bin immediately! Sorry, but she’s still back up singer material. Sales speak volumes.

Anyway, yea, that Jaz can go. That’s real music. The state of today’s R&B is in the toilet for both men and women. You see Tyrese, Tank and Guinwine tried to be a group and what happened? They did NOT save R&B. I’m so into old school right now it’s ridiculous.

T-Boz as a solo artist? Hmmmm…..like me marinate on that one! Good luck with that!

seriously jaz’s voice is GORGEOUS. i”m not gonna lie, i’m not a fan of her music. i’ve turned away from that type of R&B but i have to say that i have some respect for this girl. many artists can’t do that, sing so well without the help of a studio etc. and she killed it

I’ve heard T-Boz on Raphaal’s album and she sounded nice…Her voice is very ..idk..lol..but they shoud definitely go for an eclectic sound for her..something different..

95.

okay

Thursday, July 24, 2008 /

Jazmine sung that song so good, I thought I was at church for just a second. I love it when a person sings so good you get lost in it.

Michelle, goodness, I wanna be nice but really, why is she even attempting to do this album thing. Really, I can’t hear the goodness, I am not saying that it isn’t there, I just can’t hear it coming from her. She is a cute girl but maybe sitting on the money she luckily made with DC would be a better idea.

Michelle and Kelly’s lack of success has nothing to do with Matthew. I just think some artist are made to be part of a group. Kelly and Michelle arent solo artist material. Have yall seen them on stage by themself? Its a mess. If they dont have Beyonce standing next to them they are a bore.
Plus, neither of them is good at picking singles. “Stop the Car” should totally be the next single, but Michelle is picking “The Greatest” which isnt radio friendly at all.

Which brings me to T-Boz. She isnt made to be a solo artist either. Without Chili and Left Eye by her side her succeeding is pretty doubtful.

Oh lord I’m actually praying you give Michelle a break. Or help her wise up! In some ways she just annoyed me. I mean, when they managed to plug her in on some of the DC songs she just sound nasal, strainy, and weak. I’m sorry. Yes. I can admit that the recent song was not bad at all. But, I don’t know where she will end up, esp. now that her album was pushed back due to lack of marketing or whatev. I don’t know.

Jazmine! Jazmine honeeee! I’m still waitin for that album. Drop that sh*t now! She got me missin ma gurl Lauryn (Hill). This is what we need. People who can Sang (I said it, SANG)! We need more soul, that power that you can feel in your bones. More Mary’s, Faith’s, Lauryn’s…Lookin cute nowadays is OVA!

Teebeezee! We’ll see how this goes with her on SRC, I wish her the best. She kinda look like Janet in that pic.

I really wish T-Boz the biggest success! I am and will always be a huge fan of TLC and each individual member, as they all brought different vibes and elements to the table. I will continue to support T-Boz and Chilli in their solo ventures. What I would have really hoped was that they would have taken on “the Challenge” Left-Eye made. I believe that the magazine article (Entertainment Weekly) in which Left-eye stated: “I challenge Tionne ‘Player’ Watkins and Rozonda ‘Hater’ Thomas to an album entitled The Challenge. A 3 CD set that contains three solo albums. Each…will be due to the record label by October 1, 2000.”-EW, would squash all the unlove people are showing T-Boz and Chilli as they are trying to become Solo artists. Congrats T-Boz!

Michelle, I wish her much success too! I never appreciated her in Destiny’s Child, as I loved the original line-up better. However, I feel she was and will be a great gospel artist if she go back to her roots. She just never came off to me as a pop/R&B artist.

Jazmine Sullivan is the absolute truth. There is no one out like her right now AT ALL….she will do wonders for the music industry because unlike most she will make it on PuRE talent. no look can substitute for the talent she has…and no comparison will do her justice…She will remind us all what it once felt like to admire an artist for what they sounded like, not for what they looked like …she is on her to the top!

…and listenin to Jazmine Sullivan realli made me realize that artists like Michelle Williams and T-Boz need to sit DOWN!

Just need to stop all of the foolishness with albums being “pushed back” -
it will be out when it gets out. This whole trend is crazy… give a date, push it back, give another date, push it back.

By the time they finally get around to releasing an album, they have leaked all of the music and videos. And they wonder why music sales are i the state that they are in.

Back in the day, your album came out when it came out - folks ain’t setting around marking their calendar for a release date - it’s the same music whether you get it in the first week or a year later.

maybe kelly and michelle don’t know much about good music, cuz kelly have a huge succes here in europe with WORK but it was only because they did a remix on the song,its used to sound horrible,before the remix
michelle dont have her place in the music industry,she have no stage presence

West Indian gyal or whatever u callin yaself let me get u together right quick. Michelle is a great singer and she proved that on Destiny Fulfilled when she sang her verses. How dare u say she didn’t have full verses. It was her verse on someof the songs that caught ppl attention the most.Cater2u was all her. Soldier…all her. And Through With Love…..OMG SHE KILLED IT!!! Especially on the live dvd. So get it right b4 u ridicule anyone. EIther way,she still bankin more than u. I only agree with u on one thing. Dat her album date change was kinda expected. Hardwoodpoets ur like one of the very few who notice how B and Kelly sound so alike at times. She also has lead a lot of songs from day one. For the longest time I thought B lead second nature from the first album and it was Kelly. She can also belt out notes like her too. Check out the Emotions performance in Rotterdam where Kelly did her verse and B’s verse where she hits the high note toward the end of the song. She even held the note longer. Youtube. And to all that keeps sayin she flopped,correct yaself. BOTH albums are multiplatinum. Simply Deep has sold 4 million and Ms. Kelly has sold 2.7. And TAY….let me get u together b4 I go. No one is feelin We Break The DAwn? Stupid bitch where were u when it became the #1 SONG ON DANCE RADIO?!?!?!?! Apparently SOMEBODY loves it. I think the push back could be good IF they do what they say they are. COme on out with The Greatest, Hello Heartbreak and Stop This Car. Didnt B have out 4 singles before both albums were released? And for the record,Solange isnt even on her father’s label anymore so all her work is her work now. Do ur homework. Solostar flopped remember? And so did the rerelease.

I feel like the content of Jazmines song was beautiful. She is a very wonderful artist AND I am seriously anticipating her album & her next single. God Bless her AND I know she is going to do well. BTW, ya’ll look out for Jennifer Hudson, Karina (although she is young she is very talented), and Keri Hilson! Finally we have some fresh faces to reckon with. Personally, all of these artists are unique in there own individual ways. However, between Rihanna, Solange, Cassie, etc…they all need to watch closely BECAUSE I can clearly see Jazmine to Keri taking the music industry over!

Jazmine Sullivan is a breath of fresh air. Her voice is beautiful and she’s just what the game’s been missing. R&B has been on a rising slump and I besides what the naysayers say people are taking note to her gift and will support her.

I’m sad that I’m young and missed out on real music and R&B..it’s nice to have somebody in my age group who’s about something. The Rihanna’s..great “package,” but it’s an empty box. I can’t wait for any and all of her upcoming projects, that performance gave me chills, I checked out her Apollo gig on YouTube, and brought tears to my eyes. Girlfriend’s voice is RIDICULOUS. I’ll most definitely be copping that album! She’s like my new favorite artist. ‘08 is a good year for music!

To 35… Cri$tyle… The “GO TO Writer” of this year????

HA HA… Hardly.

The “Go To writers” of this year are Keri, Jasper, J Que, Andre Merrit, and other people in the interscope circle.
Cri$tyle honestly is one of the worst writers i’ve heard in a long time…

“Dumb Dumb Dumb” is literally a Horrible idea, and horribly written-
“You and I go back like jump ropes and mud pies”
“You and me could’ve been like Nintendo, You tried to block Wii”

I mean REALLY?
Those are the “DUMB”est lyrics i’ve heard in a while.
She’s only had mad placements because Jermaine is using her to cling onto what little musical success he has left. So he’s pushing the hell out of her.
But anybody who knows a thing about writing knows she is WHACK!
And as for T-BOZ…. YALL BETTER GET READY

First things first: damn…Jasmine Sullivan is about to have a lot of female singers pulling their weaves out! I am so glad to see that she really does sound good without major production driving the song. Secondly, I do not see how Kelly Rowland’s album could have recieved any better promotion than it got. Promotion was not the problem, because the cd was advertised everywhere for over a year before it was acually released. Copies of it were leaked in antcipation of its release, and that is what hurt her sales. People saw that Miss Kelly didn’t have strong enough material to piss away a hard earned fifteen bucks or so. Latoya had a gold single with “Torn” and managed to sale a few albums off of “she don’t.” Once people heard the rest of the record, it was nothing that could be done to help it sell; people have ears and opinions! And in most cases, even if people bootleg a cd that they like, they still go out and buy it when it is released in stores. I think that Michelle is just suffering the same fait as the others for the ame reason as they did. Nobody from Beyonce’s camp is sabotaging the other girls. I mean, Salonge’s first cd went copper or glass didn’t it? She is Beyonce’s sister. It just is what it is. Sadly, I think that Kelly sings better than Beyonce; Kelly just needs better songs, and to stop trying so hard to show us her ghetto side (or at least come with something a little better than the collaboration with Snoop next time she gets it in her head to try). I think the reason we like her is because she is so regal and poised and humble along with her talent. She doesn’t need a gimic. Taking the song she had with Da Brat off Miss Kelly also was a silly move, because that is one of the highlights of the bootlegged copy.

Jaz is one of the few artist that have a voice that when she sing to you live give you real chill bumps to the fact that you may fall in love with her. she will be one of the bigest r&b artist in all time, like Pattie i think.
