Jill Scott - "Hear My Call" This is from the NAACP awards. I'm rarely emotional about a song, but this just did it for me.
Just beautiful Jill. [Edited 2/27/10 10:51am] | |

Yeah I saw this last night and was taken by surprise. The song was just breathtakingly beautiful. Hope it's on her new album.  Check me out and add me on:

WOW! Jill gets up in you like no other. I completely understand, tricky2. She interpret songs where you feel the song's emotion versus just being entertained.
Nice prayer. Too bad it was so short. I understand live television time restraints though. The melody in the beginning of the verses reminds me a little of Diana Ross' "Missing You". "Since you been away..." I wonder if this is just for charity or if its from the upcoming,"Why Did I Get Married Too" Soundtrack. I don't know, maybe its from some of her new shit she's working on. Either way I like it. | |

This was the only, and I said the ONLY, good thing in the 2 hour NAACP Award ceremony. THE ONLY THING.
Wyclef's ego is growing exponentially, by the way. | |

I just want to point out, yes, Jill was all emotional but that song is rot. I am shocked at all of you all for drooling all over it.  Space for sale... | |

At least she stayed in one place (this time) and didn't go off on one of her long "walks." Hehe. I thought the song was beautiful and touching; reminiscent of say, Minnie Riperton w/o the whistle register leaps.  Hungry? Just look in the mirror and get fed up. | |

I found it funny in WDIGM that she had to wear a 'fat suit' to make her self look overweight - she's always been fat. But still attractive - she would look so much better if she lost some pounds though. | |
