I just heard a little segment on 48 hours. Something about Tyra Banks wanting to be a pop star. Has anyone heard her sing? I guess she's in the process of making the "leap" on over.

She 'wants' to be popstar? If she has, or got the talent to take her there, then all the power to her. Why would she WANT to be a popstar anyway, a wannabe???

If she can sing half as good as she looks...watch out!

to quote Jerome Benton: "as fine as she is, she doesn't have to know how to sing..."

&I agree.going by the standards out now I doubt it.She already did a Background Vocal on a Kobe Bryant Single.Problem was that Sony dropped Kobe before the Album came out.but nevertheless Kobe is getting Rings.but I'm Sure Chris Webber enjoys Her Vocals??

maybe she can do some tracks on the Allen Iverson disc?

oops, forget it. he's goin' to jail...

i didn't know Kobe did any singing sessions. he must not have learned that much from Shaq, at least off-the-court.

I saw her book once "Tyra Banks on Beauty" or something. A picture of her without makeup that proves she sure ain't born with it!

i saw the book and while i was skimming through it, mostly she talked abotu her friends who became unmarried mothers and such.

As fine as she is don't think people will worry if she can sing ...BUT if she can she's gonna be huge!!


TYRA BANKS IS HOOOTT!!!

Thumparello said:

Very, very true!

IrishEcho said:

One time she was on some show, I don't know if it was Oprah Winfrey, and she was saying something about how long it takes her stylist to do her hair and make-up, and how she really doesn't look like the finished product that everyone sees at the end...but none of those top models or actresses ever rarely do. Have you ever seen Cindy Crawford with no make-up, or Nikki Taylor? Don't let them trick you into thinking what's really beauty. If you do, then that's how women become affected by low-self esteem, and how men become obsessed with how a woman looks, always looking for one that looks like one of these women. I think that's why Tyra came on the show, to encourage some young girls and women.

These women that they use are just as beautiful as the as the women you see everyday, (who do and don't wear any make up), and who try to look like these models anyway.

Models? Models of what, and for what? They're not my model of anything for nothing.

You said it all. I've seen photos of Pamela Anderson and Britney Spears with them not having any makeup on. They look very different without the paint.

The Hollywood stylists can take a plain woman and turn her into a beauty.

IrishEcho said:

I'm sure Tyra is distraught that you don't find her attractive.

Essence said:

what's up Essence? Tyra is a Babe.the Only Trophy that Chris Webber is only gonna See!He can stay Glassy-Eyed with Her while Shaq&Kobe Stock pile Rings!!

mistermaxxx said:

Take a look at these celebrities without any makeup. It's proof that beauty does come in a bottle.

still wounded over the Kings' loss

CalhounSq said:

Shaq said last Night on Jay Leno they the Kings are a Good WNBA Team! they cried,Flopped,bragged about Home-Court Advantage.they will never win with Glassy-EYED Webber.He lost that ball with 11 Seconds to go in game 5.I still say they are lucky Utah wasn't stacked right or the Kings would have been stunned in Round 1.there Coach is a chump&history repeated itself as well.Game 4 Horry hit that Big Shot after the Lakers were down by as many as 24 Points.Rewind 10 Years back Rick Alderman's Blazers blowing a 15 Point Lead Versus Chicago&Phil Jackson.some things never change.Mike Bibby was the Real Deal but I believe with Tyrone Lue things may have been different? Kings Have too Much of a Good thing&don't know how to fully use it.Another Knock is this:SHAQ&KOBE are the Best Two Players in the Game Today&when it's all Said&Done they will Rank real High.but the Lakers of Today at Best are a Good Team.Two Great Players.there Third Best Player was Fox&then Horry.but you beat the Mighty Kings with Walker,Richmond,Hunter off the Bench??the Kings don't come across that Great.not to mention Shaq's Health at Best was 65-75% Percent.I grew up digging C-Webb at Michigan(SP) but in the NBA at Crucial times He looks Glassy-Eyed&Lost.this Guy puts up Madd Numbers but they aren't Numbers that Count for Winning.even Floppy Divac has more heart than C-Webb&all He does is Flop&Has a Decent Shot.but I can't Stand Floppy Divac.

mistermaxxx said:

DUDE, I said I was still wounded! Why you tryin'na hurt me MAN?!! :X

Essence said:

I'm sure she is too.

The book is actually called Tyra's Beauty Inside & Out. Just thumb through it next time you're in a bookstore, assuming you can read.

IrishEcho said:

I've actually recently learnt to read (With being able to appreciate your intricate dialogue the spur), but exactly how literate should one be in order to look at a photo?

Essence said:

There's the ability to read & then there's reading comprehension. I shouldn't have to spell it out for you, but where do you find books but in a bookstore? Suspicious that it's not a place you regularly frequent because they're owned by "The Man" or something, I was only trying to help you through your ignorance.

Anyway, what makes her think she can be a pop star?

CalhounSq said:

My Bag I'll let it go.one last thing on it though the Lakers&Kings were the True Finals IMHO.Jason Kidd was MVP last year but the Kings were in the Finals as far as I'm Concearned.
