I know it was out by St Patty's day-matter fact, it had only been out a few weeks by then

I liked her better as a rapper, but she can sang

I'm not crazy about that either, but I heard "Maybe" and fell in love.


She also was on Brian McKnight's show this weekend (the television show) and Angie discussed her new project. She explained how her father died while she was recording this album. It was a very touching interview.

Well she was in the funk/rap group Sequence in 1979, their most popular song was "Funk You Right On Up". She was allegedly 18 then. She was born in December 1961.

Yeah, it seems like she should be about 55 or 60, but she's not.

She was borin 81-WaAAAAAY to old to have been with D at all. She looks like and is old enough to be his mama

There's WAY more to Angela Stone's reputation than just being "the one who robbed the cradle". The woman has an impressive discography, and she always managed to re-invent herself







Boring or not, you gotta give it to her for maintaining a longevity while she saw most of her peers going down.

She didn't just rob the cradle, she hijacked it, bottle and all!

You have a very good point!

scriptgirl said:

Because she got the mojo on her black forest,,,,why else would some of the FINEST lookin' men fall on their knees for the woman? Good for her though!

She's a magician. her trick is in disguising her talents. Layer it all together and it looks more than what it is. I have mad love for her even still

I didn't mean that to sound harsh. maybe it's the production. Take a song like "Everyday" from Black Diamonds. If you listen to the actual singing, she isn't doing a lot of it. IT's all layered to sound like there is more going on than there is. I'm not saying she isn't talented or that she can't sing but I think at least in production style, this is what helps her.

SupaFunkyOrgangrinderSexy said:

Mmhmm

She's guilty of picking out producers who wouldn't compliment her voice. Coz the stuff she did with Lenny Kravits and Gerry DeVeaux def did.

Harlepolis said:

I know it aint her fault but I went on Angie Revolt when I couldn't upload one of her last CDs to my computer due to that protection software built into the CD. If that crap aint on there anymore, I'll get back on the train.

LOVE Black Diamonds. That is a GREAT album :nod;

Harlepolis said:

You don't say. Is she still single? Cause I'd like to verify personally that she has this "mojo".

If you're 30 and younger male, you might get a pass

How about if I at least look like an under 30 male?

Is that the same Angie in this thread. She was throwin' down on that one. Damn, she fell off big time with her other stuff.

scriptgirl said:

Proof that hollywood has been controlling many celebrities love life for years. No wonder many of those relationships don't last.

Yup it's the same Angie Vain

Well damn, it looks like she followed in Lionel Richie's footsteps afterwards.

vainandy said:

Don't say that, I'm praying sista Stone will find her way back.... Stone, comeback!

SupaFunkyOrgangrinderSexy said:

That protection software was on her last J album. You can rip the files from a mac and they work fine.

You didn't get in on the replacement that Sony/BMG did not too long after that cd came out? I ended up getting replacement cds for 2 of my cds and they gave me like 3 or 4 full album downloads through Sony's music store. The downloads were great, but you could only listen to them through Sony's software. I had to end up burning audio cds and re-ripping them to mp3 to listen to them in iTunes.

Also, Angie is no longer with Sony/BMG. She's on Stax/Concorde.

Not really. She may have started making mid-tempo songs, but at least she stayed a true r&b/soul artist. She didn't attempt to do the pop thing.

Wowugotit said:

To me she is all that, they girl is so soulful! I don't care for how her body is posed for that picture. That picture is photoshopped to death.

She recorded a couple of excellent albums with Vertical Hold back in the 90's. I thought her first U.S. solo, "Black Diamond", was exceptional. But, it all seemed to go downhill after that. Every album has gotten progressively worse.

kitbradley said:

I know thats your opinion. But I strongly disagree. All of her albums contain good material and are performed to excellence by Miss Stone.
