@ # 2 I doubt it. All people care about is Beyonce and Rihanna. smh. Chrisette is my girl tho. I was so happy when she came in @ #1. Poor Ciara smh. Finally real music beat out sex.

She just came to Houston last week, and i really have to admit I was very impressed. She sounds exactly like the CD. Chrisette put on an amazing performance. I would definitely pay to go see her again…. Would have wanted to listen to her way more than Musiq because he was horrible.

I feel like she never looks the least bit happy. Maybe she doesn’t like cameras. But she doesn’t appeal to me because of this.

Yea she is talented, but her style is not what the mainstream like. It is sad that some people let the radio dictate them what is hot and what is not.

Her voice is great and she is pretty, nice, and has a pretty skin color. I do not like that heavy eyeliner underneath the eyes.

Dead @ 11! Me and a co-worker were saying the same thing this morning, like what gives LOL. @ 8 I agree, I don’t know what the looks are about, however, I have been down with her since the first album, and this new one reconfirmed that she will be around for years to come, she completely switched it up from the last album and still can hang. I love her.

I must agree with #11 and others. The CL team must be on vacation or something. This is ridiculous! The CL is like a cup of coffee. I don’t drink coffee, so CL is my buzz. STEP IT UP!!!

I love Chrisette’s CD, now I buy her and Beyonce, matter of fact I have to go buy another Beyonce CD this week, I got jacked. I can proudly say, I have never brought any CD from Rihanna..
If you can no do live, you dont get my money!…
I will buy Beyonce’s new CDs that are coming out, one of the tour and the other with Ego..Worth the money. Chrisette needs to leave her label cause they dont support her like they did Rihanna and she has wayyyyyyyyyyy more talent than Rihanna….

@12- CL have a habit of wavering between excellence and dreadfulness, one minute this site is the ish- its soo good and the next minute no one updates and when they eventually do I’ve read the posts on other sites. If you want to stay on top you have to keep up, CL’s slowness has caused them to lose visitors.
Anyhoo, I’m not feeling Chrisettes look here, she looked soo much better with the long hair/weave, the short look isn’t for her imo. But her first album was stunning and incredibly underrated. Like I’ve been saying for ages, Def Jam is sleeping on this girl and its an incredible shame

She looks great. Please embrace this sister. She does not get enough recognition. She is strictly a lady. She doesnt shake her aZZ to get attention…because she can sing. Long hais did make her look slimmer but however she is wearing something that she is comfortable with.
I swear she should have left Def Jam along time ago. They just dont boost her up as the other light skinned tall girl. chrisettte Micheal is more of the mature listener taste. So it is irrelevent for her to shake her azz. We demand a little more subtance than that. I am not interested in someone swining their hair and grinding on the floor or doing back bends to music. I am grown and sexy. I want real music like Chrisette.

@ 30 Educate Me
She debuted at No 1 on both the Billboard 200 as well as the Hip-Hop/R&B Billboard. Grant it she sold $85K that week but she still came out on top.

@Janay…why do almost all Christians come across like they’re so righteous and then after church is over you find out your thugged out cousin is more Godly then them,lol.This is not the first time I’ve heard this about her….but in her defense people in the industry bring out that mean spirit in you…
I like I AM better than Epiphany.
on a more positive note she’s pretty and can really sing (no auto tune)… : )

Wait, #9 are you saying she doesn’t appeal to you as an artist because of how she looks in pictures? If so, how dumb do you sound! If not, nvm but I think she’s beautiful.
