Of course he had an umbrella


you know damn well he wasn't gonna get that hair wet! mad lol





Totally unrelated to the thread topic,but do you know I'm still trying to figure out what he is putting in his head to make it glisten like that? That head had some superhero shine in that rainstorm like I have never seen hmm It's so thick and slick... that's not some regular Afro Sheen that boy is using. What is it? DAX? Royal Crown? It damn near looks like Crisco confuse...

I thought I explained how he did his hair every morning to ya'll! lol

He washes it, then perms it with Dark and Lovely, then tapers it, THEN dyes it, then he gets his blend of Blue Magic, Ampro or Pro-Line conditioner, and Murray's pomade with a tainch of 360 Waves gel, and packs it on

then he uses one of Mrs. Jackson's silk scarves and wraps that shit up for AT LEAST 4 and half hours lol

then in the morning, he sprays the contraption with Lester's Pink Hair Oil Sheen

Yeah I got you, lol. The Jacksons do be acting like "oh we want the big grail", lol.




Oh, and you know Jermaine was over here on this side of the pond last weekend. He performed at some random made up awards event in a large arena. Naturally they did a tribute Michael with him singing Smile, and joining in on We Are The World. It was a disaster. To begin with, it rained, so everyone was in formal awards ceremony attire, all soaking wet. Although they did have people next to him holding umbellas over his head. Then the sound engineer was making mistakes left an right, half the time he was performing without being properly miked & the sound went out constantly. He missed his cue on We Are The World and forgot the 2nd verse, going straight into the chorus. Then to add insult to injury, his mike accidentally went out, and someone else took over the song for the rest of the finale.... now see, all that rippin' and runnin' to these arena events, and it turned out to be a hot, steaming mess. Betcha they'd have his sound right if he played the Tom Joyner Family Reunion or the Budweiser Superfest hmph!

lol lol lol

In Jill Nelson book - "Straigh, No Chaser" - she wrote about pervasive problem of colorism in the African American community/USA/around the world. Ms. Nelson observed, You could put an "average" looking fair skin sista next to a beautiful dark skin sista and if you asked us which one was attrative, many in our community would choose the fair skin women. confused

Pathetic but true. So, some would argue whether the "pretty" dark skin women had any talent or not, she may be dismissed. "She doesn't have the look." neutral

At that, it can be a double-edge sword. Kristina's father and his siblings caught hell for years because they were fair/light brown skin and they had talent and then some. I feel it's unfair to heap a bunch of other people bullshit "issues" onto this girl or anyone else for that matter. She's been offered an oppurtunity and she's taken it, like anyone would. Kristina isn't the only offspring of a famous/well known singer/music family to be given a break. Some have been successful in their own right but many have not.

As I said, it can be a double-edge sword.
