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.

Niggas talkin bout when this gon be repeated

One thing about Drake, he loves Michael Jackson. He studied the stars. To be great you must learn from them, then find your own vibe. Via: Twitter
