Is Fantasia Still An American Idol, Beyonce Pays for Own Videos
Wednesday. 12.13.06 8:47 am
Aiight y'all today is December 12th and Fantasia's CD is released today. Homegirl had yet another date with me this past Saturday that she cancelled. But yet she's been parading all through New York City with Missy Elliot and such. She even showed up on the "Today Show."
She performed "When I See You" -- as usual the voice was sweet as hell but is Fantasia still an American Idol?
Here is my prediction: The people who voted Fantasia American Idol will forsake her at the cash register this week. Sure, she will make a splash in album sales, but I venture to say that Fanny has made the same misstep that Monica did. They confused their day job with their personal life.
Both women contend that they wanted to express their more urban side. They wanted to sing something that reflects who they really are. Survey says... WRONG! Both of these Clive Davis vixens just like Whitney Houston seem to forget that they built their fan base by being what we wanted them to be. Black girls that still sing like black girls but they sing songs that are still appropriate for the adult contemporary stations... like "Truth Is" and "Free Yourself"... not songs like "Hood Boy" and "Baby Making Hips." Not even songs like Monica's "Sideline Hoe" or "Errrrtime the Beat Drops."
What is it that happens when Missy gets into these girls pants heads? Monica is the new Tweet and Tasia is the new Monica.... Jump ship now Tasia, "Truth Is" a "Hood Boy" don't make enough to buy you platinum plaques. But that voice is sweet. A shame ain't it?
THE STREETS ONLY UPGRADES BEYONCE
And speaking of DING! ...if you haven't heard Beyonce is giving SONY the middle finger yet again. The label told her that they weren't financing anymore videos from that flop B'Day so she is gonna pay for videos for "Upgrade" and "Greenlight" out of her own pocket. Read about it here.
"Audemar Piguet... gotcha rockin' purple labels... hey, partna lemme upgrade you!"
Ciara hit the Pepsi Smash in Denver. Shout out to Cake and Ice Cream.
