"please" is a nice track.....

I just find it so interesting that Toni decided to drp' doing TOP 40 friendly tracks for the URBAN market..

Once an artist crosses over they rarely go back...

I mean JANET did this w/ DAMITA JO..and she got alot of praise from the black market but the mainstream didn't waste a minute renouncing her LP a failure?

So is sticking to her roots or did the TOP 40/Crossover audience grow tired of Mrs Braxton????

I like Toni. I wasn't crazy about the hoochie sexpot image she started to take on with her last album. She (unlike some others) has talent and doesn't need to do all that to sell a record.



yes...look at sade....no sex there...just good music....no T&A

She very may well want to but the last album she put out in her videos she was leaning toward that Janet Jackson look that record company's were pushing at the time. I felt that she has the talent to be seen as more that just T&A trying to warble over a hip-hop beat. When she first came on the scene she was sexy without looking like a hoochie.


Why are people so concerned with their pop stars been clean cut? If she wants to show her chest off, why is she hootchie?

Has nothing to do with being "clean cut". Showing a little cleavage and leg everynow and then is not a big deal but when it becomes the focus of your entire act the shit starts to become tired. And like I said she actually has talent and doesn't need to try to distract the listener away from the fact that the voice is not all that.

nod

Half naked females are half a dozen when you cross the street, tell that to THEM if you're in the mood to preach somebody.

To each its own, let people be!



Harl, that's really not my point. I really don't think it's necessary for everyday females to walk around spilling out of every inch of their clothing either. Just my opinion that some women should respect themselves a little more. I have actually see young women in the street with skirts on so short you would have thought they just got off shift at a strip club or were straight up hookers. And I really do mean the entire ass hanging out the bottom of their skirts (not shorts or skorts) but skirt with no underwear on.

Why would you judge someone based on what they are wearing? that's really shallow, just because they are wearing close to nothing doesn't mean they are not respecting themselves.

You are kidding, right? Tell me this, just were do you draw the line at indecent exposure? Crotchless jeans, with no underwear on? T-shirts that leave each tit fully exposed? Good gawd, if you actually think that walking around in the street with your entire ass hanging out the botton of a mini skirt (with no underwear on) is "judging" someone then there is no point for me to continue with this discussion.
