Black Twitter Reality Checks

Who did this?

A throwback to when Jennifer Lopez thought she had the pipes, the range, to do a Whitney Houston tribute. The talent isn’t there, but the audacity was. If you don’t sit your ass down. Girl, you are not on that level. This is why Mariah Carey said she’s a real singer, while you play sing. Of course there are talented people sans awards, but you believed you could match Whitney’s vocals and needed this reality check. That’s blasphemous and delusional. FYI Mariah has the range.

Happy Birthday Solange

Few people possess the fortitude and resilience of this woman. Having a highly successful sibling all your life is usually advantageous, for Solange it was a means to tear her to shreds. Before A Seat At The Table, she was ridiculed as a teen pregnancy stereotype, who would never make good music, win any awards and destined to live in the shadow of her sister. Never once did she let that stop her from pursuing her passions, Solange refused to let anybody define her but Solange. Ahead of her time, she told society who she was and challenged us to catch up. The embodiment of The Tortoise & The Hare, go at your own pace and you’ll succeed. I hope this grammy winning goddess has the best birthday. I really don’t even think I can put into words what she’s done for my soul with her work, or existence. Make no mistake that everything she’s gotten she’s earned. A model human being, a pillar of integrity, a genius, living art, a fashion icon. What’s your favorite Solange song? Via: Solange Daily
