yall may not realize that solange has been in the news mix everyday. she made herself we made her a list in no time. She knows her wacky clothes and statements will get press because she knows people expect the same out of her as they do her family. For the most part i think her “im different personality” is staged, but no hate. I wonder how much dem background singers getting paid because they definitely HELP her sound!

she looks so dumb and tacky…like she’s trying to be different and edgy..like some model in a McQueen show (she wore his stuff in her promo pictures…) but ended up looking like some sad tacky version of Cyndi Lauper. This stuff looks like some leftover wardrobe from one of those Weird Al parody videos.

I just watched the video…should have done that before the first comment but the outfits were just so unsettling..lol Anyway, I get that she likes to dance but doing all the old Beyonce dance moves makes her look like a wannabe Beyonce. I immediately recognized the little jerky moves from the “Naughty Girl” video and of course the infamous Tina Turner “Rolling on The River” moves at the end which Beyonce did when she performed “Work it Out”…

If Solange wasn’t Beyonce’s little sister, I doubt she would get this many comments or any attention at all. Sorry, I just don’t care for her. She seems so fake and is trying too hard. Papa Knowles looks sickly.

I’m going to give her a pass because I can definitely appreciate her attempt to be an individual. She could possibly have cross over appeal so I won’t hate but I agree that her natural hair texture is not matching the extensions. She gets a BOOOOOO on that alone!
Go Solo…..do you!

I actually dig the way Solange is dressing. It fits her style and personality IMO. Not everything has to be matching from head to toe. As you all should know this. Watch a runway show some time and you will see that fashion is always cutting edge. She knows how to wear her clothes and it fits her. If you noticed Solange has always mixed “high fashion” dressing with an eclectic style. She will wear a dress in a minute that is matchy matchy with everything, and the next minute rock that same dress up style with something completely different. Any trendsetter should know that you SET trends, not follow them. Anybody can take a high fashion piece and put it with the matching shoes, a bag, etc. And that is all fine for some people and works, all the while they pull it off effortlessly. But it’s another thing when someone can put together some striking pieces of their own. She takes trends from now and mixes them with vintage pieces, and mixing her own things together. Though I wouldn’t wear it, it fits her so I give her props for that.
Loved her performance of the song, she could have taken the boring route and just stood their and delivered it. Like she does with her fashion I like how she mixes up her retro tune, with DIVA-ESQUE dance moves. She can work a stage. Things will only get better for her.

Pappa Knowles looks smaller than he usually does.
Solo’s outfits look cool. In the first outfit I would have just loved her tee and jeans, but I guess that fur thing is an added bonus- it matches the shoes.
The second outfit is alright though not feelin those tights with it.
BTW she looks beautiful- love the close up shot.

She’s trying to be the polar opposite of Bey but not quite pulling it off…hence all the crazy leg jiggling and neck wrenching weave poppin, lol.

I’m not a big Solange fan - by far. But she looks dope. Like the risk she took. What could’ve been a total disaster, I think she tackled it quite well.

wait a minute..is this the hook???
“EVERYBODY LOOK AT MY CLOTHES SO THAT NO ONE ON THE MESSAGE BOARD PAYS ANY ATTENTION TO MY VOICE!!!”
everybody’s tlkin about her image (which is clearly contrived), but be honest….forget beyonce for a minute, Solange is an individual and SHE JUST DOESNT SOUND GOOD anyway u slice it and dice it
im sure she’s a nice girl but the “it” factor just doesnt apply

i LOVE her & she’s really talented .
i dont think she’s trying to be different , i jst think she’s unique ; she’s always been a different than bey , kelly , & michelle …

Reason
Tuesday, August 26, 2008 /
1. Wearing a bunch of different shit does not make one an innovator. I’m sure there’s a neighborhood kid somewhere that was already wearing this mess. She’s trying SO hard, it’s comical. Also, why is everyone coming back saying this is their real style/personality and how on my first album, the label was holding me back blah blah blah (Rihanna, Katy Perry, Solange). The “I’m so different” thing now is so false, especially when everyone else is listening/wearing the same stupid looking stuff.
2. Hate the chain. It looks like those garland things you made in elementary art class with the paper rings.
3. Stop numbering shit. This isn’t a Power Point Presentation.
and a Diana Ross wig does not equal Diana Ross. I’m not anyone’s “Stan” or what ever lame term you wanna call it. I’m just not buying it.

This is her.. her music and her style reflect each other.. I used 2 feel like she was trying but now i see that it really is her.. I loved the performance all though some of her solo dances were kinda off the wall.. The energy was insane and I would watch her perform anyday… I love artist who love their own music and you can tell that she loves what she created….And so do i

I find it interesting how Concrete Loop and other black blogs gave this child endless free promotion for almost a year and the day he album drops I roll over to P. Hilton and see the whole page covered in paid advertisements for her. I know that he gets tons of visiters, but it’s funny how black celebs somehow seem to always “overlook” black media when there’s a chance the “mainstream” might bite.

Yes cookie, that is interesting. I think Solo has skills, but I believe the clothing is used to distract from her lackluster voice. She can carry a tune, but her voice is not really that strong. Good effort but maybe she should stick to writing for others.

WHY???
Wednesday, August 27, 2008 /
Someone sd “the next Diana Ross” NOT! Forget the horrid outfits, the singing wasn’t that great either for what could be heard of it (the music appeared to be louder than her mic) At any rate Big-Ups to her for trying a 60-70’s style of music.

She looks SO beautiful. I saw her personals ID on wealthy men for beautiful women site “”"”"”"”W e a l t h y L o v e s.co m”"”"”"”"”"” last week. It is said she is dating young billlionaire on that site. Is she single now?

Reason,
1.I so agree with your comment. It’s funny how you can sell anything to the general public because it wasn’t until this year this girl started dressing retarded. If you have seen Solange since the day DC came out, she always dressed like B, wore the same blonde/red hair weaves, and always matched her clothing. This past year since she anounced her album, she started dressing all crazy and put out a few blogs with a few curse words and suddenly she’s the next good girl gone rebellious.
2. Nothing about her style is innovative. People in Paris have dressed this way for years. Hippies and Goths have also dressed this way for years and were constantly teased about it. Women like Gwen Stefani, Cyndi Lauper, Kelly Osborne, Eve, Madonna, Erykah Badu, Lauryn Hill and Fergie have been dressing this way for years. So what’s so innovative and unique about her style. Maybe the younger generation buys it but if you know about any of those women above then you know this style has been done in a more genuine manner.
3. Her talent is very mediocre. The exciting part of her show is her great band and excellent backup singers who help cover up her vocals. Her dancing is taken straight from Beyonce and Gwen Stefani choreographies. I don’t see where all the hype is honestly coming from.

This is an ok album, but she needs a PARENTAL ADVISORY STICKER on this mug because she says F@@@ and s@@@ and God@@@@ and I wouldn’t want a kid of MINE listening to this mess. She has a really bad potty mouth, which is too bad because she is talented enough without trying to act like a hood rat!

I just watched what she said in that little interview. She’s so full of herself and it’s a pity cuz she is BEYONCE’s LITTLE SISTER and JAY-Z’s SISTER-IN-LAW. If she has a problem with either of those titles she should talk to her parents and Mr and Mrs. Carter. Heffa.
