Whats Yo Opinion About These Female RnB Acts???

1.Truth Hurts
2.Blu Cantrell
3.Syleena Johnson

These are the best female vocalists that I could think of nowadays. All of them are powerful voclaists and each one of 'em have her own style which is absloutly different than what you hear outside.

1.Truth Hurts-I like this woman alot, I've met her in person where she rocked a live concert here in Harlem, so real and humble in the same time(A ghetto queen indeed). She brought tears 2 my eyes when she sang "For Your Precious Love" the original Trevor Horn produced version(where you could find in the ALI OST) moves me 2 tears, let alone the live one. She would've been the modern day Angela Winbush if only she could play keyboards but they def sound alot like each other,,hell both o' 'em are from St.Louis too. Dr.Dre said in an interview: "If she could sing any better, she would have to be two people", I think this compliment fits her the same.

2.Blu Cantrell-I don't look at her the same way like I used 2 when she 1st came up 4 the simple fact that she posed 4 playboy magazine. But I ain't gonna judge the woman, she got her reasons(altho I don't know are they and I don't think that I can anderstand them) but hell, it wouldn't change the fact that she puts shivers down my spine when she sang her ass off. When I hear Rosie Gains's song "Don't Let 'em Put U Down" from the "Play With Bootsy" LP,,she reminded me alot of Blu.

3.Syleenah Johnson-I absloutly love this chic, I've been a fan of her since her 1st LP "Chapter 1: Love, Pain & Forgiveness" and I had the pleasure of listening 2 her other great LP "Chapter 2: The Voice". Can you believe that she's only 25?? And with that voice?? Alot of critics say that her voice is mixed between India Arie and Millie Jackson. I love her blusey voice,,I hope she stick around and I hope they give her the same support like she gives 2 her music.

1. Truth Hurts - I loved her debut. I think it was one of the most slept on of 2002.

2. Blu Cantrell - I don't like her because I think she blew up for a minute by ripping off Lina's style and running away with it for her lead single. I really find fault with the producers but she didn't move me at all.

3. Syleena Johnson - For some reason this woman reminds me of Shirley Ceaser doing an R&B album. I'm not sure if that's a good or a bad thing.

Truth Hurts 1)alot of Cooks in Her Kitchen but Musically hard to get a full read on Her&thus far I ain't really feeling Her Stuff enough for a long term Career but She is kinda Catchy.2)Blu not bad but again not somebody I see with a Long Term Music Career.I See A Few Guest Appearences here&there&Maybe a Minor Hit but the Wrong Material overall IMHO.Sounds like Everybody else.decent Vocals on all 3.3)Syleena Johnson Has a Nice Voice but Wrong material IMHO&also I can tell No Major Company is gonna get behind Her.of the 3 Blu looks like the Best to Hang around for a while Longer thus far IMHO but I think Truth Hurts is more Versatile but Johnson would make the Better Album Artist IMHO.

1.Truth Hurts -- needs a real name
2.Blu Cantrell -- needs another hit before she deserves comment. and putting Sean Paul on your latest single doesn't count.
3.Syleena Johnson -- question
