Is Cherrelle a Prince Girl?
I argue every now and then with my uncel about this topic.

She is:
she was produces by the jimmy jam terry lewis, Randy Ran, Dave z, Bobby z.
Did dress like the paisley people
played the drums like Sheila E.
Toured With The Time and klymaxx
did record a couple of songs at paisley park
ect.....

She's not:
on the WB paisley park Lable
In any prince Videos
Produced By prince
in any prince movie's
ect.....

Cherrelle is not a prince girl. She's beyond a prince girl. She is a really good singer. I didn't know she plays the drums.

Thanks you. It's good to have some one back me up on this matter. My uncle would bet his life on his belief that she is.

Cherelle was not a Prince girl. She never worked with Prince at all. She was produced by Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis after they left The Time.

If she toured with The Time and Klymaxx, she was just strictly on their tour with them. Klymaxx was not affiliated with Prince in any way. They were a very talented group of girls that played their own instruments led by the one and only Bernadette Cooper (a cool female Morris Day herself).

I can see why your uncle would be mistaken because her music definately has that Minneapolis Sound. After all, she was produced by ex-Time members Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis.

Cherelle would kick the sh*t out of any of the prince girls...physically and vocally...(including wendy & lisa).

i have nothing for respect for the girl...without cherelle there would be no whitney or mariah.

I love her song "things i miss at home". That was the jam back in the day!

I thought you liked Cherelle. Why are you insulting her? Whitney or Mariah could never do some hardcore funk jams like "I Didn't Mean To Turn You On" or "You Look Good To Me". They have no rhythm.

agreed....i still think her ballads paved the way for the warbling divas.

It feels so good to have people on my side on this matter. I do love Cherrelle and have all of her albums but my point to my uncle was that she was in no way a prince girl. With that said my love for Sheila is greater!!!

Cherelle was hardly good looking enough to be a Prince chick.

poor aretha would be working at mc'ds if she tried to start off nowadays..

i love that you love lizz wright..

nope..but im gonna pick it up based on your recommendation..


thanks!!

Go to Amazon.com and check her out. The range on her CD is kinda trippy. She has songs that are very contemporary R&B and then she has stuff like 7 Days. I bet the marketing dept. for her label had a fit when they heard her. The downside is sistas like her & Kina ALWAYS get f'ed over by the labels because crossing genres these days is NOT ACCEPTABLE. What a shame. I hope she slips through the cracks.


I jacked the Cherrelle thrad. I'm sooo sorry! Back to the topic. Cherrelle is great!

I never thought her cuteness was a factor in determining her talent or musical worth. That's just my freakin opinion-The girl ain't cute. And just cause she CAN sing doesn't mean that I have to over look her lack of looks. I'm sure lots of folks think that she's damn cute. I'm sure to lots of people her talent makes her sexy. it is just my opinion that she ain't cute. That has NOTHING to do with her talent. Two seperate issues. damn.

I don't remember Adriana Evans being that dark...I did love that "Seeing is believing" joint from back in the days...going to have to peep her new stuff out.

boriquateddy said:

She's not India Arie dark, she's brown. She's just not "high yella" like the typical sistas in the media in general.

Terilicious said:

dang...why you so upset cuz I responded....good grief....alright...you think she's uncute....lawdy....I know its your opinion....cuz that's what I was responding to.....

my point really is that there was a time when ppl didn't care so much about looks to even respond. Just as SOS said...Aretha woulda been flippin' burgers....or to be honest...she would have never crossed over from gospel.

good lawd..... my bad...i'll leave your opinions alone....




anyway.....

And thanks BG...that's exactly what I'm saying.....the angie stones of the world will neva be on top because the focus, the attention that appearance gets nowadays.

that's all a sista was tryin' to say.....

Cherelle is not a Prince girl. BUT, she has worked with members of Princes' camp.

I love Cherelle..... but

#1 I never knew she plays drums. is that for real?

#2. "No whitney or Mariah without Cherelle"?? Are you tripping??? Cherelle has talent but her voice is no where near in the league of Whitney and Mariah?

Cherrelle played the drums on narada's tours and she played the timbale's on the artificial heart video. She Tought herself how to play the drum. you can find this information on the inside of the re-release of "fragile".

And Your right. She can sing but not like whitney, eventhough i don't think that was the point that the others where making. i think they where saying that she opened the doors for female r&b artist like her self.

Mariah sang "i didn't mean to turn you on" on the movie glitter. I like Cherrel ls Version waaaaay better.

Definitely not a Prince girl or whatever
Just because she did drugs with Alexander O'neal
doesn't make her in any way associated with Prince.
He(Prince) had enough crack head following behind him ie. Vanity. smile.
so sue me.

Whatever happened to Kina? I loved "Girl From The Gutter" Man did she sing that song with passion. It was like she was reliving every word.
