i'm serious, 2...what happened 2 jj fad?

as 4 adina, i have no idea...cool question, cuz i just heard "freak like me" on the radio last nite...i wuz like, "i wonder where she is now?"

"Freak Like Me" was actually the top single of 2002 in the UK, performed by Sugababes with Gary Numan sample. Still no credit for Bootsy Collins I'd Rather Be With You on melody.

Last I saw of Adina was with Warren G "Whats Love Got To Do WIth It?".

She did a Album back in 97 or 98&the Record Company Rejected it&there was a Pettition as late as last Year too bring the Record out but nothing more has happpen since.

Essence said:

the Bootsy thing is just like ALicia Keys jacking James Brown's "It's a Mans World" with no Credit.typical Industry practices.

mistermaxxx said:

I believe he has a writing credit (Along with George Clinton etc), it's moreso no verbal credit, always introduced as a cover of "Adina Howard and Gary Numan...".

It's not like Prince's lack of actual credit on "Modernaire".

Essence said:

who the hell would want to take credit for "modernaire"..? ...

EllisDee said:

SNAPS Essence I Told you So. ain't nobody trying too Claim that Song,HA!HA!

EllisDee said:

That's just an in-joke with Maxxx and I. He was saying Prince co-wrote it and I was arguing against it and finding the evidence to clear him of all "Modernaire" blame.

Essence said:

Man I wish you could have been a Extra in "Purple Rain" when "Modernaire" was playing??

I liked that "Up & Down" song by Adina, she helped make being skanky the norm...

She was a one-hit wonder.Maybe she should form a group with Lil Kim and Khia,they could be a modern-day Vanity 6

OR they could just cut to the chase & do porn...

Oh ya'll don't like Adina. What sup with dat???

I remember her followup album Welcome To Fantasy Island,released in 1997 and the leadoff single "T-shirt And Panties". The CD went no where. As a matter of fact, in late 1998 while in Tower Records, this lady came up to me and asked me could I find the album for her{I wasn't a Tower Records clerk..but I guess she felt compelled to ask}. I went to her section and the CD wasn't even there. It had gone out of print just that quick.

Well, I don't care if ya'll don't like ole Adina I like her

I get asked every so often to help people out in the CD section when at the store I work at while on break. I'm usually happy to do it!

As for Adina, I heard on VH1 WATN? that the Cd was never released, which I always kind of thought was not accurate. But does it make any sense to pull the album off sleves when you can still get her first CD? I really liked the "Freak (And You Know It)". It combined club and R&B and was real hot! I would have liked to get that album. I've looked on Ebay with no luck. Anyone know where I can get it for sure (not a burned copy but the real thing)?

I'm not sure if I really care too much about her, but I think if she tried to make another hit, it could work.

mistermaxxx said:

Best make it Vanity 8 then. hehe

mistermaxxx said:

You're right Mistermaxx after research, I found out that the 1997 CD by hers didn't get released, but I could have sworn that it was out. Maybe I was looking at a CD single of something.

Yea man, I guess I have a record store clerk look on my face or something, cause 70% of the time when I'm in a store going through cds someone will come up to me and ask me a question or say..."excuse me do you work here"? For the most part, I can field their questions.
