Oh good grief! No wonder. Jody Watley is turning into a diva-like cunt, Miss. Diana Ross style. Seriously, just look at THAT^ picture! She even looks like Diana.

That word wasn't necessary....

Let's call her a reality youtube diva. I wouldn't be surprised if she is shopping it to the WE network or Cathy Hughes.

Ms. Watley is carrying aroud some serious baggage, she needs to move on. Watley doesn't have to forget the crap that was done but she needs to forgive... in order for her to move on. The stuff she doing, isn't really healthy... (IMHO)

Snowball in hell chance with skates for a skating ring, that will ever happen, but that's what she needs to do.

The point of Jody acquiring the Shalamar trademark was to end years of false and/or misleading promotional material and advertisements implying Jody would be performing at these HH/JD Shalamar live gigs and/or that the original girl from Shalamar was Carolyn Griffey.

Any real Shalamar fan knows that Jody left the group 25+ years ago.

She really needs to get over herself.

I will always have a fond place in my heart for her 80's and 90's output, however, her recent decision to acquire the Shalamar trademark and use it for touring purposes reaks of desperation.

I don't think she's still mad or carrying around old baggage from back then. What I think is that in the 30 years since she left Shalamar, she's been annoyed to have it continually hanging over her head. After years away, she's probably found it irritating to still be regularly asked questions about the group...why she left, about Howard, if there's a chance that they'll reunite, etc., etc. And in the meantime, you have Howard and Jeffrey - needing to work - in the background teasing at possible reunions, trying to rally old fans interests enough to put the pressure on her to agree to come back, and using her name and likeness to promote the group doing random gigs, even when she declines. Then she's made out to be the villain for not showing up to something she didn't agree to in the first place, and left having to again explain why. I remember after I got AOL in 1996, there was a Jody Watley message board in the music section. This was around the time of Babyface's cover of "This Is For The Lover In You" that featured all of them. Howard found it and for a week or so kept posting things like "Who wants to see a reunion of Shalamar?" to try and hype up something. I was like "No, I'm only here for her..." and he just sort of bypassed my response and kept asking if anyone else wanted to see it happen?

Hey y'all. Meet the new light-skinned dude in Shalamar. He gon' look good dancing behind Watley.

I wonder what Midori oops I mean Michelle Watley is up

to these days.

Well it's true. Miss. Ross was infamous for being a cunt to a person face, NOT behind their back.

I stand by my words.

shame...

Watley needs to move on, that's for sure. The greatest revenge is success and she's achieved that hand over fist. The two folks in that group were jerks and that's putting it midly. I'm not sure why anyone thinks she should turn the other cheek. Many man think women are "cunts" when they don't kowtow to whatever dumb shit they pull or think.

Look at the two fools in that group and what they didn't do and have.... enough said.
