Fantasia and Jamie Foxx 1/22/07 concert
Wow, if it had not been for TASIA I would have been bored out of my mind! Do not get me wrong,Jamie sang his tail off.
The comedy hour before he sang was great. When he started the musical part he dragged songs out too long and started talking a lot of mess that I did not want to hear.I have walked out on two shows in all my years MUSIQ SOULCHILD and now JAMIE FOXX. I am glad that FANTASIA saved the night before it went downhill.I have two complaints,she was not on long enough and she did not do more songs from the latest project. She did an ol’skool medley of “the best of my love”,”rock steady”,tell me something good”,and “purple rain”.Fantasia is a mini firecracker live.Her voice was clear not raspy,so energized and of course she kicked off those shoes and did her “HOOD BOY” dance. RATING for this event FANTASIA was a ten JAMIE “OSCAR WAINNER” FOXX comedy a ten, concert a five.
Fantasia album review & Karen Bernod/Brown Baby Girl event
Album Review:
Title: Fantasia Label: J Records
This is the sophomore follow up to the fab debut “Free yourself.” In my opinion, Tasia only stepped up her game. The voice is strong, gritty, and mean at times. Then she appears soft, light and comical, too.
Stand out tracks:
-
“When I See You” – Sexy ballad.
-
I Feel Beautiful – This is a hit written by Diane warren. She is telling dude, “Look no matter how much you abuse me, I feel beautiful. She is not allowing her spirit to be broken.
-
Bore Me – Hot ! I love it. And comical, too.
-
“Bump What Your Friends Say” – A song encouraging you to follow your heart and your love.
-
“Hood Boy” – This is the first single and Fantasia kept it straight ghetto.
-
“Two Week Notice” – This is my favorite song on the album. I can go on and on about this song…but since this is my first blog. I won’t. (LOL) This is the jam though! She is basically stating her unhappiness in the relationship so she is resigning her position and not renewing the contract. Nuff said!
ONUTSS Presents Karen Bernod & Brown Baby Girl:
This album promotion party for Karen Bernod and Brown Baby Girl.was was a celebration of good music and friends.We ate, took photos, and cut up (because that is what I do).
We were even blessed with a song done acapella by each artist. Karen sang my “Comfort Zone”. Love that song. Shout out to Pam and Trel (the ladies of One Nation Under the Soul Shack) for holding such a soulful event. Keep your eyes and ears out for them in ‘07.
