Blu Cantrell: Like or no?

I was listening 2 Blu's catalog of cd's yesterday and I never realized how good this woman can sing. Do any of you all like her music or vocal ability?

LOVE her voice. Haven't really heard much beyond "Oops" or whatever that song was called and "Breathe", but I liked both of those a lot. Are the albums any good?

I really.....really dig her work. I'd never really listened until now.
Good stuff in my opinion.

Her 2 albums are pretty good. LA Reid was supposedly doing her and that's how she got the record deal. Her first album is the better of the 2 (to me). I really liked "So Blue" (which, I believe, was done by Jam and Lewis) and also "Blu is a Mood". I keep those in my iPod on a regular basis.

I enjoyed her 2nd album, but if you luck up and find the limited edition with the DVD, it's worth getting for the DVD alone. It contains an interview with Wendy Williams.

Exceptional talent,,,,weak material though.

I think she's the victim of "the wrong place @ the wrong time" saying, meaning, had she emerged 20 or even 15 years ago,,,,she would've been a household name by now.

A real gorgeous woman with a gorgeous voice...



Also, I think the porn photoshots hurt her career.

Supposedly, Lina accused her of stealing her "neo-swing" style.

She was singing a new track on the Mike Baisden show a few weeks ago. Maybe she has a new project coming out.

She has posted several new tracks on her myspace page, but we haven't heard anything if she has a new deal or if she is going independent.

I loved her voice but she annoyed the fuck out of me with hit em up style being all over the radio.

I dug her first cd a lot but the second one was mediocre.
Yes i saw the porn shots of her and had no idea at the time
who she was until her story in sister to sister magazine when
she came clean. She went under the alias of jazmand and she had
black hair at the time. lol
Don't laugh at my funk
This funk is a serious joint

She truly has a beautiful instrument and her 1st cd was REALLY good and the 2nd was good and i have the DVD with the 2nd release its FUN. It's kind of bad when a talented songstress as herself cant get her due. I will 4ever be a FAN!!!!
