What happened to this chick? Didn't she used to date Jay-Z or something? It's like she came out with that song, and an album and then flat out disappeared. lol

I will forever love and miss you...my sweet Prince.

Beyoncé: Is that Blue Cantrell?

Chaka: That's sweet of you Beyoncé, but I believe you meant ot say "Blue Can't-Sell".

lol lol

Seriously I wondered where she went. This seemed like such a cool song back in the day. Used to get a lot of radio play in my hometown.

AND SAY! That girl in the back seat of the car looks like Bobbi Kristina. lol

His passion? I think not.

It's "put your hands on his cash AND spend it to the last dime, for all the hard times."

Good try wink

She came out with a second album too but it flopped and musically it wasn't as

good as her first.

I remember hearing Lina (member her?) doing a rip on Dallas Austin for something like jacking her style or the beat or something. It was funny and mean spirited i remember one line was to tell Cantrell she was not Faith Evans.

I agree. Her 2nd album was horrible. I still don't get why she couldn't sustain a career? She had a voice and was fine as hell. Maybe she couldn't dance, or f-ed up with an exec or something.

I remember when she did that reality show in the circus, she was a real bitch.

I've heard how Lina can be a B! lol It's no wonder she didn't take off either.

^^^Oh I do remember that song. Y'all are right though, it's not like she couldn't sing, she didn't have a bad voice at all.

I will forever love and miss you...my sweet Prince.

Didn't her career get derailed (also) by some raunchy pornographic pictures she took?

I loved both those songs (even the Sean Paul version). I loved that she had that sort of jazzy touch to the tracks. To me, they seem like the end of an era of really great pop R&B, which really just fizzled during the rest of the decade - mostly due to cheesey auto-tuned Black Eyed Peas nonsesne.

The pics that was on the internet werent raunchy to me just the average nude pics she took before she was famous. I dont think those pics ruined her career just bad material and lack of promotion from her label.

and after that she sort of went the Playboy route since pop culture was really into the Baywatch Babe turned Playmate archtype back then. It didn't really pan out for her though. Pity she never hit big because she's a damn good singer with fantastic technique. That's the kind of voice that should have a career with longevity and an audience that grows old right along with the singer martini

Jam & Lewis produced this song

Well she did sign with J Records... they weren't gonna promote her when all they were promoting was Alicia Keys and it wasn't like she was gonna get far anyway with everyone thinking she was Faith Evans' sister or something. lol I sometimes think Faith's "You Gets No Love" was directed at Blu (for some reason). evillol

Yes the pics were just your run of the mill shots for Black Tail magazine before she

became famous and she didn't look like she did when she started singing. She had

jet black hair when she did the shoot for Black Tail magazine.
