Beyonce is Sasha Fierce..

Fashionable
Fierce, Fierce tranny mess! hahaha! That's from a SNL skit on Christian Sirano (sp) Project Runway winner. Anyway. I had the privilege over the weekend to hear an advance of the new Beyonce cd, I am...Sasha Fierce. I was not impressed, not in the least. And this is sad because I happen to love Beyonce and feel she has the potential to make great music. I didn't add the advance to my iTunes, instead I am waiting on a retail copy of the deluxe edition, which even as a deluxe only has 16 tracks. I swear folk are jipping us. Anyway, I decided to post this link for ppl to decide how they feel about two tracks "Diva" and "Video Phone" after I was doing a blog stroll and came…

Hudson Family Tragedy

Lifestyle
Wow. Just really fucking wow is all I can say to the recent tragedies that have happened to Jennifer Hudson. The loss of a mother, brother and nephew are tragic in solitude and combined together is a recipe for extreme disaster. If she's never heard from again its understandable but still tragic because despite it all people would love to see her succeed. Especially for her lost loved ones. There has been so much talk about how she should have known to get out the hood once she got a little fame and fortune but so many are shunned upon for doing just that. Why should money equal a move to the burbs? She should uproot her family because she got fame now. And fame doesn't alwyas equal riches. I'm…

Battle of the Divas! Jennifer Hudson vs. Jazmine Sullivan

Battle of the Divas! Jennifer Hudson vs. Jazmine Sullivan

Lifestyle
I don't know about some people, but I was excited about Jennifer Hudson's cd being finally released.  I was not so excited about Jazmine Sullivan's cd.  Not because she can't sing, because she has skills, but because her first single didn't wow me and there was so much hype around her.  Everyone was talking about it.  I like to be the kind of person that strays from the norm.  Now, JHud, is a great singer.  Do I think she should have gotten an Oscar for singing in DreamGirls... NO.. but that's not my point.So these two albums came out pretty close together in time, and rather than write seperate reviews, I'm going to compare them. Personally, I think Jaz's album blows Hudson's out the box.. Not for vocal skills but…

Sandcastle Disco Baby!!!!

Lifestyle
I  may be one of 5 people who are looking forward to Solange's album, Sol-Angel and the Hadley Street Dreams. I loved the first single, "I Decided" and I just saw this video this morning, and I like i too. In certain parts of the video you REALLLLLYYYY see the family resemblance between her & her ever famous sister Beyonce. I love how Solange plays on the shit people talk about her, in the video she's singing atop a can of Solange, Can I sing soup... amusing. And she has this freestyle out to the industry, "Signed Sincerely" which I really like. So, she has found a fan in me... And because of that, on August 26th, I will download her album with glee... I mean, I did think of…
