listen to "violet stars happy hunting!"

it's actually AMAZING.
she's kinda like alicia keys mixed with N.E.R.D and kelis, alternative jazz/soul mixed with hip-hop rock beats

she's been signed by diddy to bad boy records and is already hyped by tons of critics, reckon she's got a chance at being huge

[risque]

She's great but knowing music these days, she'll be on the charts for all of a week and then she'll disappear. Take Mario Winans for example, he was on the label and only one of his songs was a wide success. Hope she does get it big time but I don't see it.

If she wasn't signed to such a crap label I think she'd have a reasonably good shot. We all know what Diddy's like.. :rolleyes:

[risque]

The only reasonably successful artists signed to his label are Danity Kane, Cassie and himself. BIG could be included but well, he's dead.

Cassie's only succesful because she sleeps with him, and DK because they actually have talent. The only reason DK are getting promo this time round is because they threatened to leave after the first album mess.

They should have left!!!
