which one did you prefer?
Karyn White was good at first then she married that minneapolis dude and it was over!

Jody Watley had more to offer, I think, but my favorite song from either of them is "Secret Rendezvous".

Jody's "larger than life" album is a clattery masterpiece. She had the attitude over Kayrn, though "ritual of love" album is always playing in the summertime.

Pebbles.

OK, if I have to pick one of these two, I'll give Jody the slight edge. I like both of them a lot. Karyn is finer.

Jody watley definitely

Kayrn, No Contest!

I do love Jody Watley, but I think that Karyn is the better songstress .

REALLY CLOSE for Karyn...
And I love, the way u love me
place no one above


I'd give it to Jody Watley cuz I saw her in concert..

I prefer neither Jody was a better package over all & I liked more of her songs, but Karyn was obviously the better singer...

you got that right.

Everybody wants a piece of... Jody!

I love Karyn's "Romantic" and "The way you love me"

but Jody's "lookin' for a new love" and "friends" does it for me...i can dance and do a sexy strut to it...

Karyn White was well rounded but at the end of the day, Jody's dane cuts where so hot and she made the occasional nice ballad as well ("Everything"). I recently bough the Japan exclusive Karyn White hits set...if I had the Jody Wately set along with it...no comparison!

Jody is a beauty, 'tis true. But, I don't think she could have done "Superwoman."

Whereas Karen might have been able to pull off "Still a Thrill," though in a slightly higher key.

Still A Thrill!!!



Jody....

interestingly,both of these ladies married Minneapolis dudes who were,at one time,conncected to Prince.Karyn married Terry Lewis while Jody married Andre Cymone.

Also interesting is that Karyn White (along with Johnny Gill) is a bridge between two of the most successful production duos: LaFace and Jam & Lewis. She started out as a LaFace girl, Jam & Lewis handled Ritual of Love, and Babyface did a couple of songs on her last album.

Ahh, good times. Good times.

Like your new avatar, btw.

Rhondab said:

Oh DAG! Regina Belle tore my heart up with her voice. Not 2 go All In The Family on U, but yeah... those were the days.

...and on male side, we had Will Downing, James Ingram, etc, holding down the real .

Peace.

... And Peabo, Howard Hewett, Tony Terry and Angela Winbush, Lalah Hathaway on the R&B tip...

those *were* the days, you're right.

Isn't Karyn White the one that recorded "Super Woman"? Oh HELL NAW! Jody Watley by far!!!! Karyn did shit like Shitney Houston.

karyn might have had a better voice but she is no where near Jody's league. Jody actually crossed over to the pop world for quite some time...then throw in her days with Shalamar and theres no comparing.

Jody. She was in the business longer, Had more hit songs and was the better dancer. Not to take anything away from Karyn. She was the better vocalist. I think she would've had greater success if Babyface had produced a couple more albums for her. She was at her best when he was working with him like Jody was with Andre Cymone, And Janet was with Jimmy and Terry.

I liked both of them, with a slight edge going to Jody.

She sang somgs that made u dance and made u cry. He version of "When a man loves a Woman",was very interesting. She also had a sister that was in x-rated movies.....lol.

Karen on the otherhand, was very nice to look at. She was like the poor man's Jody....Her songs were fun and sometimes they showed just what a talent she is. I wish that Karen still recorded. I know that Jody is coming out with a new CD and I just picked up her last one. It is in a dance-house groove. Really nice.
