Lovely performance.

Yes, because Karen Clark is (or one of) her favorite singers.

I thought they'd been @ odds w/ each other since the beginning (when people used to mistake "Used to Love Me" for a Mary song)...

CalhounSq said:

I know but shit, Biggie's funeral????? that was like 9 fucken years ago

CinisterCee said:

Okay, but why would they have "made up"?

CalhounSq said:

well if mary j blige was able to do a whole fucken album with diddy again over 3 years ago, perhaps there would have been opportunities for these two ladies.

if her and kim are cool with each other now, i'm sure she has nothing against mary now, like shes said before, it was a long time ago and they were young.

CinisterCee said:

I dunno, I just don't expect them to get along just b/c they're in the same industry

CalhounSq said:

and that faith bites mary's style.

sosgemini said:

oh SNAP

*twists baseball cap backward

u got into some shit now sos

sosgemini said:

Does she really though? I'll admit to thinking that was a Mary song when she first dropped but to me they're both just singing

CalhounSq said:

It was intentional. After Puff and Mary had their falling out, he was trying to mold Faith in the same image as Mary. Faith has a good voice, I just don't like her songs.

I liked Faith's debut album quite a bit. Since then I've only kept up with the singles. I really like the 3 singles from Keep the Faith, "Again" from the last album, and her songs on the soundtracks for Waiting to Exhale and High School High. Oh, I forgot her duet with Carl Thomas. Love that one!

emotional right? thats my one!

CinisterCee said:

Moonwalkbjrain said:

Yeah, but it's called "Can't Believe." Then again, it seems to be called "Emotional (Remix)" by a lot of people. The name of that song confuses me...

AlexdeParis said:

lol yea now i'm confused too!

Thats true!

She is a Clarke Sisters closet freak(check out the BG vox) but when she switches up to jazz,,,,you know its Betty Carter & Lady Day she listens to.

sosgemini said:

Sorry, but I don't see what all the hoopla was about.

She was just up there hollarin' and her performance was all over the place.

Oh please. Faith's was a real performance This other girl is bad tho.....even for a Christian

SupaFunkyOrgangrinderSexy said:

This is the person who Faith basically learned how to sing from (she's said this herself in numerous interviews).

okaypimpn said:

And how does that make Faith's any less real than hers?

SupaFunkyOrgangrinderSexy said:

It's something called "Anointing."

Pretty deep discussion that would take up a lot of time. I'm willing if you are.

okaypimpn said:

If you are talking about being moved and touched by the spirit I am well aware of it Now that still doesn't mean that Faith isn't giving a real performance!

SupaFunkyOrgangrinderSexy said:

Yeah, it was a real performance alright...a real bad one.

Again, I personally wasn't moved by it. It did nothing for me because I've heard Faith perform a lot better than this.

I'd heard Faith do better, too. I think she got touched.


Either that or she "punted."


The Clarke sisters are no joke. Faith's been stealin' runs from them for years.

Fa'Sho!!!

okaypimpn said:

I need to get schooled on them quickly! I'm listening to Xscape and I think "Is My Living In Vain" is a Clarke Sisters remake.

CinisterCee said:

It is. Xscape can't even touch The Clark Sisters original! Just check out this live performance of them HERE

They're the premier vocalists responsible for influencing Missy Elliott, Kelly Price, Whiteney Houston, Mariah Carey, Tweet, Beyonce, Lil' Mo, Faith Evans, Fantasia and a host of other female R&B vocalists.
