this is an artist her sister is very commercial. Solange is a very gifted songwritter cause her storytelling stands out. this is grammy material. the video was great and creative which is her forte’. i love her whole album.

———————————————————————————————————————-
SHE WAS TAKING A PREGNANCY TEST, WAITING FOR THE RESULTS. I THOUGHT THE PICTURE OF HER AND JULEZ AT THE END WAS CUTE, MESSAGE AND ALL.

~LOVE IT ~ I have been loving this song since the day she previewed it on “Lip Service” months ago….its the main reason I bought her album. I love this girl, so real and original.

22.

re: the toilet scene…she was taking a pregnancy test. How could you miss that? lol

23.

Thursday, November 20, 2008 /

OK.. SO I LOVE THIS SONG… AND OF COURSE HER VIDEO WOULD BE IN BLACK AND WHITE.. (LOL.. LOL)

SO AT FIRST I THOUGHT SHE WAS DOUCHING ON THE TOLIET.. AND I WAS BOUT TO BE REAL MAD.. LIKE.. “COME ON ARE YOU KIDDING… DOUCHING IN THE VIDEO???!!!???”

BUT THEN I REALIZED IT WAS A PREGNANCY TEST… LOL LOL… WHOOPS.. MY BAD..

BUT DONT LIE.. IT DID LOOK HELLA CRAZY.. LOL LOL LOL

24.

ya boy

Thursday, November 20, 2008 /

i love the video and i love solange.
it was missing a little ’spice’ to it,
i think it would have made the video pop
more if the picture of her and juelz at the end
faded from black and white to ‘color’.
none the less, solange is a beast with her
vocals and well as her songwriting.

25.

one of my favorite songs on the album!
.the ending saved the video for me lol cuz i was like ummm ok where is this going solange?

I absolutely LOOOOOVE Solange, T.O.N.Y., the album and the video. I’m so excited it’s finally out. The song is so interesting and creative! The one thing I don’t get is what she means by “I coulda been in love by now…” then at the end she puts “I’m in love now” on the picture of her and her son. I understand she’s saying she’s in love now and I get T.O.N.Y. is a one night stand but what does she mean in the song when she says “I coulda been in love by now?”

27.

I have waited TOO long for this video. I love her for this, if Bey peed on a stick in a video, CL would implode talkin bout how she is a disgrace and whore

28.

Thursday, November 20, 2008 /

.I really like this video. She gives a real perspective of what many young women go through. And with this, she is really admitting that she made a mistake, but look what came out of it. The video is cool though.

I like Solo, and I kinda wish that people would just listen to her music for who SHE is, not who she is related to. Cuz I LOVE LOVE LOVE “ChampagneChronicNightCap.” lmaoo

Ok.. I must be the only one that doesn’t quite get it..
“I coulda been in love if it wasn’t for T.O.N.Y” . The Other Night Y?….

i listened to the album and i love like 2 songs on it, but that was it. the rest was disappointing.

This song is ok but it doesnt really standout to me, the video reminded me of one thing- the walking and shoes etc, but also a bit of rehab with the instrumentalists standing around.

This girl is beautiful … I really like her. She needs more exposure and if you guys didn’t get it she was taking a pregnancy test …but in all honesty they couldn’t of cut that part short or came up with another way to get the results.

This is why I am and have always been a Solange fan! Love you girl! You are a beast with whatever you do. Tony is my favorite song off of the album and I am glad she did a video for it.

47.

FLAWLESS BEAUTY!

Thursday, November 20, 2008 /

SOLO! I freaking love this video! You lost me for a moment, But you made up for it at the end. I’m so with you girl I’m not a mom yet.But you are so telling the true. There are some things and desicion that you do regret in life, but in the end you becoming a mom and seeing that little person and hearing them say MOMMY or I LOVE YOU. It makes up for it. It also gives you your purpose here and you find Love all over again.

Thank you Solo for showing alot of theses young ladies that being a mom is the BEST THING EVER!

Great Video and love the song…Those who dont get the toliet scene is missing the point..lol..
Alot of women went through that very same feel…On the toliet after u pee’d on the stick freakin out..Wondering if your pregnant….
Good Look SoLo Always liked her better..She is a realist. Her lyrics are very relatiable to our generation and our situations..
Good Job Keep on doing what you do…

la_verite

Thursday, November 20, 2008 /

I have never been a fan of hers at all, but I must say I did like the song–and the video was nice too. I thought the song was about something totally different at first (a guy you are hung up on who you want to get over so you can start being interested in other guys). Later it all made sense. Must say though that I related to it more when I thought it was about the first thing, lol.

I would like to see her washing her hands after the test! Come on ladies! Y’all be cooking our food…don’t forget the sanitizer. lol!

62.

Call it what you want but it is what it is.

Thursday, November 20, 2008 /

A pregnancy test? I thought she was shoving a dildo up her va jay jay. Masturbating or something. It’s probably just my nasty mind.

Anyway, Daniel is sooooo effin adorable. I still don’t think he looks anything like Solange. But he looks just like Momma Tina and Beyonce @ times.

Her and Beyonce write very similar.

63.

Thursday, November 20, 2008 /

she’s dope. after I’ve watched this video, now I’m convinced - shes good ! the end - too cute. but wasn’t her baby-daddy’s name TONY ? hmmm. a lil subliminal in this song. maybe ?

i could have done w/ out all of the flipping of the hair. lol.
i got that tony meant “the other night y?” from listening to the song..but…the video does add depth w/ the end. the beginning was a lil boring w/ the running…but again, she looks flawless.

very nice.

OK, at first I was confused. Lots of questions, like, why the hell is she still promoting this album? Why did she spend half the video on the toilet? The ending pulls it together, it was a cute video I guess. But again, why is she still promoting this album? she sold like 100 copies right?

Keep it real

Thursday, November 20, 2008 /

@ 75

Shut the fuck up…..you damn Beyonce fans need to stay on the Beyonce’ blog. Solange has her own career, it is just not in the public eye. REAL writers don’t get much credit (unless you buy cd’s and look at the inserts to see who they are). Guarantee you won’t see Beyonce’s name on any other album inserts other then songs that she is singing on. Solange writes for everybody and is on the low….getting that paper. And maybe you need to find out what really happened and why she responded the way she did in that interview before you say something. Or just look @ the preety pics like you been doing……

This is one of my favorite songs on SolAngel - if you listen to the lyrics, I mean really listen, on almost every song on that CD, Solange is DEEP! She has had a lot of life experiences (to be so young), but they make her an exceptional songwriter. She can sing too.

The video is great - I love songs and videos that have meaning and messages.

Keep doing you Solange. Like someone else wrote somewhere else, “cream always rises to the top.” Mark my words, Solange’s day is coming.

Trust me, if Solange showing her weave tracks wasn’t meant to be in the video, you would not have seen them. Solange’s thing has always been “realness.” She ain’t trying to pretend that the weave is her hair, and she does everything NOT to come across as “barbie doll” perfect.

People are so busy comparing her image to her sister’s that they miss the fact that she does not aspire to be Beyonce. In her song “God Given Name,” she says “I’m not Bey, can’t meet expectations, I’m not her and never will be. Two girls going in different directions, striving towards the same galaxy. Let my star light shine on it’s own now, I’m no sister, I’m just my God given name.”

When she says, “I could have been in love by now, if it wasn’t for T.O.N.Y” what she means is that a one night stand rarely turns into anything but a mistake (i.e. sitting on the toilet taking a pregnancy test). Casual sex rarely ever remains casual is the lesson in this song.

Solange’s ex-husband’s name is Daniel, not Tony.

not joining the bandwagon

Thursday, November 20, 2008 /

i’ve always said that solange was the more artistic one in the family. bee has a beautiful voice but she is no songwriter. she writes disposable music that mostly targets high school kids and ppl who just want to have a good time. solange is not an amazing writer but she is good and she is much better than bee in that area. personally i respect songwriters more than i do singers b/c writing a good song takes thought and i love ppl who use their minds

I loved it! at first i was like is she MASTURBATING on the toilet? wtf? but by the end….i got it. T.O.N.Y represents how and when she got pregnant and the reprecoutions of that fact. Kewl! thumbs up!

Real talk. Beyonce is bad and all but SOLANGE is THE business. I don’t know if it’s the legs…can’t put my finger on it. ( boy, would I like to) Hope she doesn’t continue to be overshadowed by her big sis. Let Sol-angel get her shine too!

Interesting. I don’t know what it is about Mnemonic Devices being used in a songs title…but I like it.

I don’t understand the song… I thought the child’s father was your husband? You had a one night stand… and the so called Husband is not the father? whatever… I give it up to the Creator.

nice shoes…

126.

yup

Im in love with this girl and her music. Shes a genius, I wish people could see that. I love her 1970’s sound it reminds me of Diana Ross. I really appreciate her and love her. Shes not a commercial sucess but she has a indie vibe and that makes me like her more.

I love that song that would’ve made an excellent single she should have made “Sandcastle Disco” her first single “T.O.N.Y” the second and “Would’ve Been the One” the third.

I was already sold on the song, it’s one of my favorties on her album. So I’m glad she did a video for it. I like the concept. It has a message, but the direction is simple at the same. The ending was also a nice touch.

135.

Nice concept. Now she is very real not too comercialized like her sister. Her music is nice vocals are only okay. But Ill tell you what her cd is better than” I am… Sahsha Fiece… I am a mess…”

***
She’s had her nose done…several times, apparently… If that isn’t striving to be perfect I don’t know what is.. The truth is, had she not, she’d have been much more believable as an indie queen. Her huge fake nose and monster hair make her seem fake..the visual is killing her…

Firstly i must say that ive been down with solange thro the ruffest timez aka that first mess i mean album of herz solo star lol. But i love that she finally found herself as an artist and a writer. I reallly realllyy digg this album.
Secondly, for the ppl who say solange nd beyonce write similar…plz check the fine print. solange writes for beyonce. u like flawz nd all??? well the credit goez 2 solange. scared of lonely??? solange. get me bodied??? solange. upgrade u??? solange.
Solange is doin her thing 4real. now dont get me wrong i am the BIGGEST beyonce fan ull ever meet but i gotta give credit when credit is due and solange nd thiz album sol-angel and the hadley street dreamz iz hot.

THAT TOILET SCENE WAS AWKWARD..TOO WIERD FOR A MUSIC VIDEO, THEY COULDVE DONE SOMETHING ELSE AROUND THAT AND OF COURSE IMPLY SHE TOOK A PREGO TEST… AND SHE WAS OVERACTING TOO (FLIPPING THE HAIR N SHIT) LOL

BUT I STILL DO LOVE HER CREATIVITY AND HER ALBUM IS AMAZING
SO GO AHEAD N DO UR THANG!

Great video!!! I hope ya’ll heard the message: Wrap it up. I do wish that she had made it a little clearer that she was taking a pregnancy test while she was on the toilet. There are a lot of young women out here who have never dealt with that yet. And some of them had no clue what she was doing on the toilet.

This is a waaaaay better video than the last two she has put out … Don’t get me wrong, I understand the whole “Across the Universe” undertone, but … at any rate, I agree that T.O.N.Y. is one of the best songs on S’s album … I knew as soon as I heard the early takes of her album that T.O.N.Y. would be a single! … I really need to get paid to pick singles, b/c I do it so well … Congrats S!

Some of these comments are stupid like y is she on the toliet? Duh she is taking a pregenancy test. And she sent the baby daddy a picture that says im in love now because she is in love with her son Juelz!!! And of course she is going to be connected to her sister bc she worte some of her songs. They have two totally different styles. I think Solange does want to be connect to her in the music indutry way. Of course she is going to do things with her sister.

Anyways this was a great video. I love her style!!! I got this CD and love it. This is my 2nd favorite song on the album btw
