I LOVE THIS CHICK I DO THINK SHE IS UNDERRATED AND ITS A SHAME THAT ARTISTS LIKE HER JANELLE MONAE EVEN GNARLS BARKLEY ERICKA BADU WHO ARE SO INVENTIVE ARE NOT SUCCESSFUL while untalented pregnant forehead and many others are, such a shame!
Anyway, she is cute of course, I believe one day she will finally fly, she is always wearing those same type of clothes.

She loves feathers LOL I heart her! Can’t stop listening to “T.O.N.Y” and “God given name”. Love her or Hate her the girl is very doesn’t lack originality you know. She doesn’t even have to try hard, the whole music career thing is about having a lot of fun to her! She has the glow of a true artist, her lyrics are so so deep! Can we blame her? she comes from a family of hustlers
Go Solange do your thing! We needed fresh blood for a change

@ # 5, are you really surprised? As long as Janelle M, Solange and artist of their like don’t wear bikinis on stage and expose their a*s, they’re going to remain underrated! It’s a pity….sex sells more than talent nowadays it’s just a pity.

I was at the concert. I have some video footage of her. She RIPPED her set. She set it off. It was unfortunate that alot of the people there are not really into her/do not know her. But me and my girls were extremely hype. We went to see her (Not to play N. Bedingfield we love her too!). But Solange is a performer. And I think for people to give her the respect she deserves you just HAVE TO see her live! I was a fan already, but yesterday she put herself on another level in my book!!!!!

Solange is definitely looking more like Beyonce with that new weave. AND I LOVE IT! Her hair looks so much better this way, that other cherry bush wanting to be Diana Ross hair was not cute at all.
Why the hell does she wear those feathery ass, stringy looking outfits all the time? Either that or a damn feathered frock. Is she that obsessed with pigeons?

somebody’s taken a chapter from her sisters and brother in law’s crash diet book. She look like she lost a good amount of weight…it won’t help her career. She tries so hard to be different; she just comes off looking a damn fool. That outfit is ugly, though this is best i’ve ever seen her hair. She still look like a jay leno muppet in the face.
23.
smash into you

Solange looks silly as usual. Riding Bey’s coattails all the way to the bank. eh
I like Rihanna’s edgy style much better. Solo sucks.

I love Solo! She is awesome and talented! Do ya thang girl lol! Sorry to bring in Beyonce but Bey is a good singer and all she is just whitewash and over the top. She needs to stop trying to be of a different race even though she is mixed.

Now Solo you know you must get that blog updated… the nails were oddly cute, but theres a place in my city that go way hard, they have real platinum and gold nails they grind the gold in the shop. the art are replicas of actual art, and they will add any photo, they have a photo shop and of course they go rhinstone crazy. at one point they use to use bills, but they cant cut money no more. any who, your style is fab people may think you try hard but its just your free spirit thats what you are connected to like some people are to rock or basic clothes, I for one love to see what you will come up with. your music is refreshing. love the kiss ass messages dipped in a sweet tone that you give.

Solange has always looked like Beyonce why……That’s her sister. Solange and Beyonce have the same features one is just darker than the other. Remember, stage makeup can create some features you don’t actually have. Anyway, I love the first picture, someone was really trying to capture Solange’s free spirited nature.

———————————————————————————————————————-
PERFORMING AND MAKIPPEARANCES GIVES PEOPLE TO HEAR YOUR WORK. YOU NEVER KNOW HOW MANY PEOPLE WERE INTRIGUED AND WENT OUT AND GOT THE ALBUM. THIS SOMETHING I NOTICED WITH AOME ARTISTS. WHEN BEYONCE WAS ON ELLEN AND SHE SANG FLAWS AND ALL FOR ELLEN, MANY PEOPLE WERE ON ELLLEN’S WEBSITE WANTING TO KNOW IF THE SONG WAS ON A ALBUM, WHICH ONE, SO THEY COULD GO OUT AND GET IT. SO SHE IS PUTTING HERSELF(MANAGEMENT) OUT THERE SO SHE CAN BE SEEN AND HEARD. I HAVE THE ALBUM AND LOVE IT!

I absoutley love solo..!! She is so beautiful,I wish people would just give her a chance…she has a beautiful voice..listen to that song T.O.N.Y,you can really hear her vocal ability and sandcastle disco,absolutley beautiful..don’t worry solange,your sis is getting played out(sorry “B” fans/stans) ppl are coming to the realization of what music really is..music is not about shaking you a** and crawling all over the floor but it’s about messages and solange’s song T.O.N.Y and Mary J’s No more Drama and Keyshia Cole’s Sent from Heaven are perfect examples..you can’t forget about Alicia Key’s SuperWomen..Solange is the truth..

okay, i understand that everyone would like her because she is the anti-beyonce.. but lets face it.. she’s ashley simpson and beyonce is jessica.
theres nothing cute about that jacket, that jet black hair or those baggy pleather pants. why did she borrow beyonces clothes?
solange, try again

Solange is a beautiful girl, but her style is so whack that its ridiculous, i dont know if she is trying to get out of beys shadow (which is impossible) but that coat is a mess, never once could she have thought that that thing was cute, not when she bought it, not when she put it on and not when she left the house…….this girl needs a stylist quick

Solo is so talented! I don’t see no ones shadow around her, but her own. It’s obvious she has grown and riding in her own lane. she has a unique style, femi-swag, and a fresh overall look. some people are stuck in the past and some comments reflect that, welcome to now and the future= SOLO:):)!

Well you do have to give her credit. She is the only artist I have seen that didn’t care about flopping.

Monday, December 8, 2008 /
I am sure her back-up singers are GLAD. I’m sure they thought they were out of a job when the album flopped. At least she is contributing to the economy by keeping them employed. Now this is an example of the Knowles giving back.

Did she at least win the contest? I mean it’s called “Star Launch”. It really shows she is trying.

Personally, I love Solange…Her voice is unique and I do see a little of beyonce in the face on the last picture but of course I know its her sista so dont beat me down for it.
I love her style, but Hunnie child stop swinging your weave around like that…They are going to start talking about your braids and tracks in your head, LMAO

Solange, shares features of her sister BEYONCE however, while BEYONCE is atractive, I always thought Solange was prettier & cuter than BEYONCE. Those big brown eyes, & I love the dark hair ( “weave”, not those damn lace fronts all the celebs seem to be wearing these days, like nobody can tell), & she has some “gorgeous lips” to go with that pretty smile of hers!
GO GIRL!!

Don’t care much for Solange - But great shirt….Her stylist is genius…but late with it.
I have the same one - Its by Kate Moss for topShop - Bought it during my stay at London U.K - 4 months ago!
Peace Mates.
