All day today I've been listening to Ms.Badu. I love her!!!!!

I guess this holiday season I'm a "child with the blues"... ..I need new music...soon!!!!!



Prince's Afterparty flyer at Erykah Badu's theater

Erikah is my FAVORITE female singer! Who's better PJ Harvey or Erykah? Sometimes it's hard to decide but I'm leaning towards Erykah at the moment.

My favorite male? D'Angelo.

In a dying breed of soul, Erykah is one of genre's great women. I just hate that Worldwide Underground was so slept on.

Agreed. I am wondering where my girl is at?

she's probably just chillin' with her son and new daughter.

I admit, I slept HARD on Worldwide Underground then ended up d/l'ing several tracks from ITunes months later

i was able to get some live bootlegs of hers recently.....unforunately, her fan base isn't a tightly woven like Prince's. Its hard to get info.

Do you remember the song she pre4med in the Grammy(probably in 1999) where she sang a jazz # and the band were Diana Krall & George Benson?

If I'm not mistaken, its the same night where she won the grammy for her collaporation with The Roots.

I have it...

Rhondab said:

Whats the name of the song?

He gave me the life that I came to live
Gave me the song that I came to give
Pressure's on me, but the seed has grown
I can't make it on my own
Summer came around and the flowers bloomed
He became the sun, I became the moon
Precious gifts that we both received
But can this be make believe

Whatcha gonna do when they come for you?

Erykah Badu - Other Side of the Game

I still return to Live (1997) regularly.

Hey, RhondaB(are). I hope your Thanksgiving weekend's been a good'un.

It's completely inappropriate to compare the rulers of 2 separate universes.
Both ladies are among my top most favorite artists ever. I get an equal amount of strength from both. That is what they both have in common.....they are warrior princesses. Fuck that....warrior QUEENS!.

The only advantage to Miss Badu taking her damn sweet time between releases is that you are truly ready for the next fuckin

Harlepolis said:

You got me.

Hotlegs said:

Thats the song she did with the Roots.....

But Harlepolis wasn't talking about the song by the Roots but the song that she sang with George Benson and Diana Krall on the Grammys....."I can't give you anything but love....." was the song title.

ok

Rhondab said:

Damn, she took a tuff standard to sing

If it possible and if it ain't too much trouble, can you post a link to that pre4mance(whether MP3 or mpeg)? I wanna hear her singing that tune again.
