I've gotta side with you on that point. And that holla and squeal-a-thon she did with Rick James on the BET Awards show didn't help to change my opinion. 
I prefer her ballads myself, a LOT of her dance stuff is just too dated & 80's sounding. But not all her ballads, hence the holes in my collection. Gotta give all that stuff another shot. Fave songs: You Make Love Like Springtime Tune In Tomorrow Have My Cake & Eat It Too Yes Indeed I Need Your Lovin' I'm Just A Sucker For Your Love Where's California I Need Your Lovin Fire & Desire Portuguese Love 365 Square Biz   I never met you, but I LOVE you & I will forever!! Thank you for being YOU - my little Princey, the best to EVER do it | |

Being happy doesn't mean that everything is perfect, it means you've decided to look beyond the imperfections... unknown | |

I've never been a huge TM fan. She can sang, and she doesn't fake the funk but...I don't know....
Once a co-worker mentioned how he thought Teena tries to "out black" everybody. I don't think so. Just always thought she was a product of her environment. But, then again, I don't know a whole lot about her background.... | |

vainandy said: She may be tied to Rick James forever but she did open for one of Prince's early tours. I also remember when she did "Lovergirl" on the TV show "Motown Live" in the late 1990s and broke it down into a few lines of "Sexy Dancer". I but Rick was fuming when he saw that. I keep seeing the name Jill Jones popping up on Teena's earlier albums. I wonder if that is the same Jill Jones that later worked with Prince. Yeah. Jill sung backup on Teena's early albums. Even co-wrote some shit. That's where P met J.J. while she was singing backup in Teena's band while she opened for P on the Dirty Mind tour. Teena's best album by far is Emerald City. Bootsy's on the title track. A cat named Bendrix is all over the album on guitar. Stevie Ray Vaughn is on lead on "You're So Heavy". SynthiaRose said "I'm in love with blackguitaristz. Especially when he talks about Hendrix."

And what the hell is "out-black" anyway  Reminds me of the "Whitney trying to be White" shit. Too many boxes, folks. Sometimes, you gotta just let a muufucka be...

I waited most of my life to see Teena. I finally got to see her a while back in Hayward, CA and man! Like I always tell everybody when her name comes up, She's the BADDEST WHITE WOMAN I've ever heard! Her voice is so pure, powerful, and soulful- NO DOUBT! Tha sistas definately adore her. | |

I love Teena.
I have to say she is my all time fave female artist and in the top 5 for male or female. To me she is a female version of Prince... in that she doesn't fit in some preconcieved box, writes her own music and not some glib Beyonce, Mariah lyrics (not knocking them just I like more thought provoking lyrics) and she can actually play instruments. And she is also experiencing a resurgence in her career just like P after battling against the big bad record company. I got nothing but LOVE FOR TEENA!!!! Dayum I wish I had a turntable to play my vinyls... I keep moving from place to place and taking my albums with me and haven't played them in at least 10 years.. one day....
