dear keyshia

Monday, November 26, 2007



for anyone who doesn't know, keyshia cole is featured on the double up tour starring r. kelly, along with j. holiday and formerly ne-yo (hear about it here)...anyway, this video is in response to keyshia's non-performance in columbus, ga recently (apparently she did not want to perform before ne-yo because she felt like she was the bigger star and should go before the headliner...

i still like keyshia, but this song is kinda hard body (read: funny as hell)!

based of off what i see on "keyshia cole: the way it is," she seems cool and seems to have a dysfunctional family like a lot of us...

she never really struck me as a diva, well, not after i saw the show anyway...

come on, keyshia, u have fans who pay money to see u! i doubt if they care which act u are as long as they get to see u...if anything, i'm sure they'd luv to see u perform a.s.a.p!

btw: i snatched this vid from youtube user loony-t...if u really luv this song, it's called "dear keyshia, and you can download it from his myspace page

is he ur 2008 american idol??

Sunday, November 25, 2007

this pic comes directly from the myspace page of none other than ricco barrino, brother of season 3 american idol winner, fantasia barrino...

rumor has it that he will be competing on this season's american idol...how far will he go, ummm, i don't know, lol, but according to votefortheworst.com, he does make it to hollywood...as i think he should...

i like ricco barrino as an artist, i think he has a unique voice that doesn't sound like any commercial artist out today...i can't really describe the sound, but u can check it out here...

from what i understand, the only reason he wasn't on the same season as fantasia is because he didn't have his i.d. with him, which is good because that would mean that only one of them could have won...

do i think he can win this season? honestly, although, i luv him, i don't think so...i get a feeling that simon will be annoyed by his voice on occassion...but we'll see what happens...he will be the reason i'll be watching in january!

and "this christmas" will be...


hang all the mistletoe, i'm gonna get to know u better, this christmas!

oh, my bad, i got a little caught up in the moment...that has to be my favorite christmas song ever! and this movie...hmmm, i don't know if it is my favorite christmas movie, but i did luv it!

I think this user, dee_matthews, over at yahoo! movies hit the formula right on the head:

"If you mix in Tyler Perry's Medea (drama and butt kicking) with the 90's movie Soul Food (sister issues) and add a pinch of Johnson Family Vacation (visitors and problems) you have This Christmas aka the Whitfields."
there's a whole lotta love in this movie...i went to see it by myself, so that should let you know really how much the love theme would jump out at me...i was very emotional...it saw it on thanksgiving day, when i couldn't see my family, and i've been single for a looooong time, lol...so u know...

go see for urself!

"dear nyc, i owe u"

this man, hip-hop go getta damon dash, is among one of almost 225, 000 new york residents who owe, collectively, more than $1 billion dollars in taxes.

in an ny post article titled "from the "a" list to the owe list," several big names from all walks of celebrity are named on the extensive list of debtors.

the list includes:

  • famed photographer annie leibovitz
  • actor and tony-winning dancer ben vereen
  • emmy-winning actress cicely tyson
  • congresswoman yvette clarke (d-brooklyn)
  • slain run dmc dj, jason mizell b.k.a. jam master jay
  • apprentice contestant kwame jackson
check out the full article...

is this what "they" mean by "mo' money, mo' problems?" i don't know but i'm trying to find out, lol...i don't understand how someone can make so much money and not have everything in order...but then again, that just may be the problem!

70's vibe

i just love alicia keys' "as i am" album cover...it just has that old school vibe to it, as does her voice...she does such a great job of mixing music of the past with a current feel...

do it ms. keys!

the roc boys in the building!
