FIRST! Love this picture of her!

its wack…honestly

Love the new look!! Short hair looks better on her!!

I love this woman’s writing, she has quite a few songs on you tube and this song is not new. She will truly be the last one standing out of her previous group. Go Dawnie

i hate the word “ugly”.
so that just ruins the song for me.

all singers sound the same to me these days. I’ll stick with my sade, toni braxton, emilie simone, aaliyah and michael jackson

The song sounds to “rocker chick” for my taste and it’s FULL of autotune. Can she even sing for real? The auto tune is the BIG turnoff here and the rocker vibe ain’t hittin, either. Not a song I’d play while riding around in my neighborhood.

what the f*** is this,,,,come on dawn,,,,u bigger than this…puff puttin sh** in her head

LOL @7 too rocker chick ? Black people listen to rock too you know….umm we did invent it but you probably don’t even know that like alot of people….i <3 this song it has a wide appeal…great hit for all races and every musical fan rather than just sitting in the r&b bracket.

this has to be the first time ive heard a song from dawn that i think is actually hot

go head girl i knew u had it in you

this song is really catchy and nice

me likey…although i swear her singing style is slightly biting Brandy but hey if u gotta bite someone she a good person to follow..

ehhh.. it reminds me of someone else the whole direction she’s going in =l
hopefully not the same in her personal life if you know what i mean but uhm yeah
it was alright i wish she could’ve phrased it a different way though “u g l y you aint got no alibi” uhhm.. =/ nothx.

Not bad!! Not GREAT but I’ve heard worse. I’ll need to hear more from her before I completely write her off.

NICE DAWN! I HEARD THIS BEFORE I THINK.

This song is actually pretty damn good.

I really dont listen to songs JUST TO SEE IF THEY CAN SING.

I just want to be entertained. Thats all that matters.

dis song is hot..i would def bump this in my car….black people are soo funny…never wanna get outside your comfort zone…stuck in hood mentalities…i love when artists go outside the normal mold of what people think they should be and venture out..

i like it. it’s a nice departure for danity kane, and falls in line with the vision for Dirty Money & Last Train to Paris…good look. Lyrically its CRAZY, she’s a strong writer. =)

This one isn’t new… it leaked back in February or March or so, but I really really dig it. I had it on a CD a few months ago. Love the rock feel of the track. And I like how she added depth to the meaning of “ugly.” Words like “ugly” and “beautiful” do not only apply to physical characteristics like so many people believe.

i love this songgggg..start hatin

THIS SONG IS OFF THE HOOK, HOT HOT HOT ALL THE WAY, NOW THIS GIRL IS REALLY TALENTED BRINGING UNIQUENESS IM SO TIRED OF GHETTO SONGS EVERYWHERE

THIS SONG IS OFF THE HOOK, HOT HOT HOT ALL THE WAY, NOW THIS GIRL IS REALLY TALENTED BRINGING UNIQUENESS IM SO TIRED OF GHETTO SONGS EVERYWHERE

pretty ironic the song is called u.g.l.y and she doesn’t look too appealing herself lol
haha let me stop, but fa real this song is nice!

Dawn is very talented and can adlib and sing her ass off..thas why i got respect for her as an artist.

but ever since she and the DK beef i don’t really care for her too much cuz she’s very deceitful..but thas just my opinion.
o goodness….diddy needs to give it up for real…i can’t believe i used to idolize him wen i was younger SMH

btw, second pic of Dawn is fresh and CLASSIC. her hair looks soo good from a side angle shot.

Like the song. Love the rocker element. The use of autotune is minimal and not that noticeable so i can dig it. Hate the “U.G.L.Y. you aint got no alibi” part. Agree with Black-n-Mild the word “ugly” is ugly in this song. She could have been more creative and thought of some other way to get her point across. OVERALL…..I give it 2 3/4Stars like they used to do in Star Search LOL

This is actually a good song… I give it a thumbs up

Okay….so I must admit that it’s not as wack as I thought it was gonna be.
BUT at the same time, she’s not unique enough to make it far in the bizz….

I love it!!! It’s different and it’s what ppl like nowadays.

…and I think the “U.G.L.Y you ain’t got no alibi…” part is cool. They kept it old school (for those of us old enough to remember when that saying really did fukk up a person’s emotions….LOL)

Absolutly The B.O.M.B!!!!!!!!!! I like it alot.keep up the good work Dawn.

@21 u r a perfect example of what she meant by U.G.L.Y…..ppl be killin me on how shallow they azzes are,,,how ignorant is it to feel the need to judge how somebody esle look?

I personally would only be offended if God were to call me ugly…not another human whom holds no damn power over the judgement of whats pretty and whats not. LMAO, gossipers.

this song been on youtube for a minute….somebody else did it too…i forget who…CL u need to find out and compare the two

white pop wack shit!! lol

im so lovin her vocals
i think is WAY too much auto tune but it works with her vocal range
n i so lov her hair n tht phot to the right

I love this! Yay Dawn! Good for you! I was almost losing faith in you! I hope she drops a solo album soon and I hope Diddy actually promotes her ass. You know his reputation! I’ll be buying her album though.

I didnt like it when I first heard it on trueexclusives.com 3 months ago, and I don’t really like it now, its just okay.

I agree with Rizzy. From her look to her sound…it’s really obvious.

GO HEAD DAWN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The song is fire. The lyrics are dope. All yall thats hatin…wish yall wrote it. Cant wait for her album to drop. Will cop 2 of those joints. She has had the best songs come out of all the DK members thus far. Probs to Dawn for bringing some originality to the game. Songwriters step ya game up and quit givin ya fans mess!

So love this song! My favorite solo joint from her! Really pulling for this girl…Love her!

@28 did i ask for ur input? Apparently not.
F.Y.I. I was just joking around. Do yourself a favor and get a grip.

It’s funny when ppl feel the need to preach and lecture in silly situations.
This a post about a song not a place where YOU’RE giving a sermon.

Do you really think Dawn cares that I said she’s ugly? No. She’s a celebrity and she could care less what I say or think; the same goes for you no offense.

Yes, God created all living things but we do have flaws inside and out. So pleze don’t judge me of the comment I’ve made. You don’t know me and I sure as hell don’t
know me. I’m not shallow but I see you love to judge others. However that’s ok.

Instead putting someone down from their flaws or ignorant statments..next time you should be more encouraging. Maybe then someone will listen to you.

-Peace and blessings.

*Instead of

*I sure as hell don’t know you

I like this song, I dont like Dawn though, but she can sing her ass off.

And this song has been leaked for a while now…at least 2 or 3 months ago.

This sounds sort of knock off Rihanna-ish….

you know what? compared to those other r&b chicks, she has some good songwriting skills. i hate the “u.g.l.y. you ain’t got no alibi” throwback but it wasn’t bad lyrically. and her hair looks great

I think its Aight

Now that song FLAWLESS is my Sh*t and I play it everyday… But this is just OK to me.

this song is iight

DAWN DEMOED IT FOR RIHANNA BUT I GUESS RIHANNA AINT DO IT
SO YEAH

DAWN IS COOL AND VERY TALENTED STOP HATING ON HER

this is my favorite song by her but this is a couple of months old though. but pretty good to see that her music’s finally getting put out there. and if you don’t like the song and you’re commenting on it then you’re pretty retarded. i love you dawn! (:

LOVE Dawn as a singer & writer but this song is just okay.

She is so fresh, and her voice is so unique! I’m hoping Dawn can do big things, and I love this song.

2 MANY BLACK ARTISTS GOING FOR THIS POP SOUND. I WISH THEYD GO BACK TO THEIR ROOTS!

on a side note. I LOVE HER SPIKED EARRINGS- BRIAN CAN U FIND OUT WHO MAKES THOSE

she should be singing real music wtf this sound is wack and tired
but this is the garbage they keep shoveling down these young kids throat and so the poor things dont even know no betta it saddens me.

@MY2SENSE what are our roots? please tell me. i mean michael was black and he did pop. we invented rock and never get credit for it. so why should we bar ourselves from these genres?

I’m really getting tired of people slying comparing Dawn to Rihanna.

Rihanna cannot a) sing b) dance c) write her own songs. Dawn can do all of the above and well so please stop the nonsense. And they are both beautiful black women.

Love the earrings in the picture…which brand, CL? I will say it’s weird that she did this track which was shopped around as a Rihanna demo because her sound and style couldn’t be more RIhanna (come on, now–be honest!)

this song is hot!

I love the song! She’s an awesome writter and she’s talented and she also sing w/ or w/ou autotune…go Dawn. Also the short hair is a good look on her

I liked that, its clear that Dawn was the creative force behind Danity Kane.

She could have sold this song to Miley Cyrus or somebody and it would be #1 without a doubt. I wish she would put out some other stuff, I love her!

song is cute but i wish she left out the ugly you aint got no alibi part out.

my goodness.

i hate her with short hair but she was always my favorite and hopefully will be the most successful

dont like it……

hahaha this song is funny…. i like it tho

I’M FEELING IT!

I WISH PEOPLE WOULD STOP TRYING TO TELL BLACK PEOPLE WHAT KIND OF MUSIC THEY SHOULD STICK TO. I’M A FAN OF ALL KINDS OF MUSIC AND MY IPOD HAS EVERYTHING FROM DONNIE HATHAWAY TO NIRVANA. MAYBE YOU SHOULD EXPAND YOUR MIND INSTEAD OF TRYING TO PUT LIMITATIONS ON SOMEONE ELSE’S ART.

@30.blackxxx…….

How Ignorant do you sound “White Pop Whack Sh*t” Oh please its better tha nthe crap you listen to!!!

And Pop is defined as international audiences NOT just us whites! Thats why is widely Popular!

————————————————————————

@52.Bayaba

Honestly, Nobody is really comparing dawn to rihanna, if you ask me dawn did it herself. I think thats what she went for if she said how much she wanted to work for rihanna.

A. Rihanna can sing! Shes def not a bad singer.
youtube.com/watch?v=gqx_Q0LVT80

B. Rihanna does Ballad LOSER. This aint Americas best dance crew, Who Cares!

C. She is currently writing and has writtten some beautiful records!

I dont care what nobody says..THAT IS HOT - from the arrangement to the vocals to the songwriting. Most importantly you can relate to it.

wow…the songs hot. Now I can’t wait for the album.

LOVE DA SHOW, BUT DONT LIKE HER,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

#64 I MEANT I LOVE THE SONG

the song ok but she sound like rihanna and it sound like a song riri would sing

THIS SONG IS A HIT IF I EVER HEARD ONE. USUALLY I WOULDN’T LIKE SOMETHING LIKE THIS, BUT SHE PROVED ME WRONG. THIS SONG IS HOT..THIS SONG WOULD BE TOP 10 MATERIAL NO DOUBT. ITS NOT TOO FILL WITH ELECTRO AND IT HAS AN URBAN BUMP TO IT. THIS ONE HAS HIT WRITTEN ALL OVER IT. NO, ITS NOT JUST LIKE EVERYTHING ELSE THATS ON RADIO. YALL NEED TO LEARN GOOD MUSIC.

I HEARD THIS SONG MONTHS AGO AS A DEMO FOR RIHANNA….AND THAT OTHER GIRL THATS APART OF DIRTY MONEY OR WHATEVER THE GROUP IS CALLED IS SINGING AND SHE SOUNDS BETTER ON IT…BUT I STILL LIKE THE SONG…BUT IT SHOULDN’T BECOME HER FIRST SINGLE AS INTRODUCING HERSELF AS JUST “DAWN”…

Maybe if the chile didn;t switch her whole style up SO Rhiannaesque LOL folk would not even think to make that connection, but its rather obvious. the song IS Rhi Rhi-esque and so is her “new” look dayum she wack for that, sorry altho the song is cute……

It’s a fun song. I’ll dance to it while drunk. lol

This was one of the Rihanna rejects. It’s a bad sign when I liked the demo version better than the actual artist’s version. wtf Dawn!

If ya think you can do it better then do it and make that songwriting money. Otherwise stfu and stop criticizing Dawn. She is doing her thing.

I love this song. Heard this months ago. The original is by Dwanna Orange who wrote it with her team Inkwell. It was a demo for Rihanna but they let Dawn record it because she asked. After that somehow it was leaked and Dawn said she wasn’t going to use it and now they are not giving it to Rihanna.

mess.

i can’t stand dawn, she need top hop off rihanna style, she swagga jackin hard with her ugly self.

I LIKE ITS PRETTY HOT…………………IS THIS RIHANNA??????????

PLEASE GET HER HER OWN MUSIC N STYLE
I HAVE HOPE FOR HER CAREER
I THINK LIL THINGS SHOULD BE REARANGED WITH THE SONG BUT IS HOT

I Just LOVE LOVE LOVE Dawns new style and sound..esp the second picture, Fierce!

Im rooting for her, she was one of the memeber s of DK that i liked.

I didn’t never know about this Dawn Richard chick until she posed in that sexy ass photo with her boyfriend. She is definitely a banger. There is nothing wrong with some chocolate. I love me some chocolate women. I didn’t even know she sing but her song sounds hot. I’m filling her style and how she caries herself.

I will definitely going to be checking for her and Diddy new album Last Train to Paris.

AUTOTUNE + SWAGGER JACKING BRANDY’S VOICE = WHACK!!!!!!

fits her perfectly because shes ugly and wack

I actually like her more as a songwriter than singer. The song was kinda blah for me. Glad she’s working though.

I love me some Dawn, she is the truth. And she is a all round beauty inside and outside. People don’t even understand how talented she is. I remember when I went to Danity Kane concert in LA and they perform ecstasy with Day 26 on stage giving them lap dances. Them other girls and Danity Kane don’t match with her sexiness. Aubrey she was trying to be the sexy one. But the key word is “trying”. Its either you got it or not, and I have to say 100% Dawn is sexy.

People better watch out and the song UGLY don’t justify her at all. You’ll need to listen to Dawn Richard song called Broken and Still in Love. You can really hear the Toni Braxton unique voice she have.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dj9yjFTrOnI Broken right here
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HeBvLGEY9Lw Still in love

Check them out and you can really hear the Toni Braxton in her voice. Thats why Diddy said her voice was unique.

Dawn was easily the most talented, humble, and had the best personality. The track is hot. I love her. She been through so much from being poor to Katrina, to now. You cant hate on hustle.

Thats my girl right there. She is cool down to earth chick.

Last Train to Paris…Get on the fuc*ing train this is going to be the hotest album of the year come September.

i like it

42
this does sound like no damn rihanna shit almost in every singer post i hear about they jocking rihanna style when its nothing like that

I LOVE IT! DAWN IS SUCHA BEAUTIFUL PERSON INSIDE AND OUT…THIS GIRL HAS BEEN THROUGH IT ALL AND STILL MANAGES TO REMAIN POSITIVE…I LOVE THE SONG AND HER!

I’ve Never Really Dawn.. Sorry..

I like Dawn and the song was nice. Nice haircut and earrings as well

i love this song! it was originally supposed to be for Rihanna demo (for those of you who are comparing) and it’s not goin to be Dawn’s single. im also tired of Black ppl thinkin that pop and rock are “white pplz” music. WE INVENTED ROCK! helllloooo…so um yeah. Btw anyone whos actually LISTENIN to the song will realize that shes not talkin about outter appearance ugly, but shes talking about inner ugly; how a person can change into something…UGLY. umm, anyway i adore Dawn! and i loveee this song, one of my Dawn favs.

Swagtastic…Dawn keep doing you girl!!!

Looks like Rihanna has some competition

I’m a huge Dawn Richard fan and I LOVE the fact that so many people who claim to hate/can’t stand Dawn take time to post on EVERYTHING she does. Keep up the good work haters. You’re making the load lighter for us real fans. Everytime you click on a Dawn Richard link to spew your hate, you’re still giving her a hit… still upping her profile. I loves it!!!!!!! Thanks again haters.

FYI…. Last Train to Paris in stores September 22nd… the first single from that album should be released soon with a video directed by Hype Wlliams… Dawn will be releasing a soundtrack for her comicbook, Danity Kane Comics, in December 2009… go to the website (www.danitykanecomics) for more info on the comicbook… be on the lookout for Dawn’s solo album in 2010

wudda sounded better if rihanna did it..songz a banger nonetheless

THIS SONG IS SOOOOOOOOOOO H. O. T. I LOVE IT. I LOVE ALL THE MUSIC THAT DAWN HAS PUT OUT AND ALL THE SONGS THAT HAVE BEEK LEAKED SHE ROCKS HFY

WAY TO GO DAWN! STRAIGHT WILD, TALIBAN, NEW ORLEANS STYLE! U ARE SO SPECIAL GIRL AND UR GONNA BE VERY SUCCESSFUL! ENJOY HONEY!

uggh
she sounds real nice gorgeous voice but she lacks the “it” factor as far as looks go..and her personality will always be tarnished because of the Danity Kane situation…now she’s where she wants to be working with Diddy one on one..hmmm

[...] it hot or not? poses Concrete Loop this morning of Dawn Richard’s new track, “U.G.L.Y.” Richard was in Diddy’s [...]

Foolishness. It’s nothing more than catchy (because it’s so damn simple and repetitive). Absolute foolishness. Is taking lines from those lil culture-driven American songs a new trend in the pop biz? Not that it’s never been done before, but there has def been a concentration of sampled hooks (from baseball chants to children songs) this year. Where has the creativity gone?

One more thing. If I were Dawn, I wouldn’t try to make a hit/single out of a song with such a title. It brings too much attention to her lack of *trying to put this nicely* good looks.

The song is aiight… I dont know I never been the same since the group split but honestly in my opinion it sounds like a rhianna/Brandy reject i mean its cool i can see it more on either Rhianna or Brandy. Dawn should showcase those amazing vocals she has and stay away from what the idustry is doing now…. Autotune…. ect…

I like it…I like her…

i loveeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee dawn shes the shit!!!!!

YALL LATE I HAD THIS ON MY IPOD WEEKS AGO

It’s hot!!! GO DAWN!!!

The song aint’ that bad. I’m sure a lot of pepole can relate…but she UGLY. lol.

it’s a lil corny, but i think it can grow on me.
dawn has an amazing voice and i do believe she could have done better.

ok so i listen to the whole song wtf is all that loud singing she doing at the end, it has nothing to do with the song.
lls but whatever i like dat she doing something different

MAN Y’ALL KEEP SAYING DAWN IS UGLY BUT I THINK SHAWTY IS SEXY IN HER OWN WAY. NOT SO MUCH IN THE FACE BUT HER BODY IS HOT.

She is so beautiful. Her blog and photos were found at rich dating site —” !!! .sugarscupid. c o m” —- last week. I am wondering what kind of relationship she is seeking on that site.

loves it. Its hot and catchy

The song is HOT! A HOT MESS! HATE IT! was a fan of D.K. (Aundrea, Shannon, D. Woods)

Oh and she is not going anywhere! she is on Diddy label. ANd we all know what happens to people who sign with him! Can we say ONE HIT WONDER! or BREAK UP!

This girl has Swagger and the vocals to match. The difference between her and Rhianna is that she CAN Sing. But thats old news. HA! The Artistry speaks for itself.

Hate on Dawn if you want to, but this song is HOT!!!

I dont understand why some people get their panties in a bunch when they witness another person calling someone ugly. I see this A LOT when it comes to people defending celebs and I just think its hilarious. Please stop coming up in here with your rainbow coalition, heal the world, koombaya bullsh*t!!! Not everyone is going to think Dawn is pretty, THAT’S LIFE! You can’t get mad and look down at someone for stating their opinion.

I actually think she’s cute (she’s not photogenic at times) but you don’t see me hurling insults or preaching to anyone who disagrees with what I believe.

name me one artists that doesn’t “swagger jack”??? every since that came out people have been abusing the shit out of that term. this song is good. sick of autotuning but its a good song. But truth be told Dawn is going hard. Riri is still on the beat her down brown shiz. make an album bitch

Just another one to add to the Pop bandwagon.

She sounds Fire Im glad black girl are steping into other arenas musically!
Im going to quit commenting there are too many haters on these blogs.

I love this song! It has a different sound to it and its very catchy and relateable. I see her doing damn well all by herself.
She should make a video to this… I imagine a dance sequence and I’m happy for her. Glad she’s staying positive in the industry and doing what she stepped in the game for. Go Dawn. All you haters keep her on the spotlight cause yall stay hating.

Ciao
Boston Stand up!!!

I like this song and I can hear the passion in her voice. I’m glad that Diddy continued working with Dawn bcause anyone with as much passion as she has deserves an opp to make their mark in the music industry.

This song is happening!

Honestly….I like! Do ya thang Dawn!

BORING,nothing new or orinally. And Diddy his just going to use she to gett additional media cover for his new Album. Very sad,than again she deserves,.

BORING,nothing new or original,that well give her a identity,same thing with her look,nothing fresh or different. And if she gets some attention,Diddy is just going to use her to get additional media cover for his new Album. Very sad,than again she deserves,she fucked one of the best groups.

I’ve loved the song ever since the demo version sung by Dwanna Orange leaked.
