I will be putting my votes in this year for him and Jessica Sanchez. Who will you be voting for?

"These little nappy headed hoes need a perminator", says rapstress Nicki Minaj and quite a few people are not too thrilled. As a Nicki fan myself, I found the lyrics ignorant but I still continued to bop my head to it as I drove blasting Did it on Em' on my way home from work. However, now that I heard for a second time that in her latest song Stupid Hoe, she dropped some ignorance on us again, its definitely not a good look.

In her song Stupid Hoe she says,

"Them nappy headed hoes but my kitchen good."

No Nicki, my kitchen is quite good without a perm.I don't have to put on pounds of makeup, wigs, or false eye lashes to feel beautiful. Hopefully, mothers out there are teaching their daughters the same, and showing them that don't have to follow your Barbie standard to be beautiful.

I won't lie I still will bump a Nicki track, because I don't have to like her as a person, but her mentality says that she has fallen for the brainwashing that our ancestors had to endure many moons ago.

I find it admirable, that he is in support of his sweetie's goals of becoming the next big pop sensation. When you don't have a partner that doesn't have enthuisiam for your hopes and dreams its tears a hole in you like nothing you have ever felt. Its good to hear that Amber has found love and has a partner with her every step of the way.

Lips Like Alicia's

Tanisha Renee Brown is one of those natural born singers, you know the kind that sings almost effortlessly. To be honest, I never been much of a Sade fan until I heard Tanisha's incredible covers.  A few months back she did a YouTube cover of Sade's No Ordinary Love. After hearing this cover, I felt that she brought this song to life and hearing it through her own unique style helped me to find the beauty in the original making of the song.


Now she has recently posted, Sade's By Your Side, and the vocals are amazing. Tanisha has taken a big transformation  from her formally dark brown tresses to a bold golden fro. I love the new look, it takes me back to the days when I was a former Goldie Locks myself.







Her single Live Loved drew me in from the moment I heard the first notes from the guitar strings and the first lyrics that she sang so beautifully. 
"I want to walk by the word that you speak. I want to breathe, because you're breathing in me. And I want to fall in the promise you give. I want to live, because you are living in me"- Tanisha Renee Brown

Tonight, Rachel Crow has left the X Factor competition after battling against Marcus Canty. The judges were left at a deadlock and the results were left up to America's votes, and sadly Rachel had the least amount when compared to Marcus's scorecard.

After Astro left the competition tonight it came down to a showdown between Marcus Canty and Drew Ryniewicz; the results were outrageous! Drew leaving the competition has to be one of the worst events that ever took place during this race for the $5 million dollar jackpot.


While I started off liking Marcus, after L.A. Reid told him what he should be and he followed suit I grew tired of him immediately. What's funny is that he claims that he wants to make him into the next Bobby Brown, but for once I agree with Simon on something, "The world only needs one Bobby Brown". Why would L.A. even want Marcus to strive toward that anyway? I mean he is acting like Bobby is some prize, after his one solo album where has career even gone?


L.A. tries to make Marcus into this huge sex symbol by putting him in these obnoxious outfits and having him gyrate all over the place. What spark Marcus had is totally gone because it has been eaten up after listening to what L.A. thinks that he should be. Now he gets on stage huffing and puffing hitting sour and sloppy behind notes and I am definitely not feeling it.


People truly have lost touch with what music really is if they feel you have to constantly be singing a dance hit to make good music. On its own Drew's voice has a unique quality that you do not hear all the time, while on the other hand Marcus sounds like any other dude who sings R&B or "The Next Bobby Brown".


The judges should not be voting, America should be making the decision. After all, we are the ones who will be buying the CDs right? I am curious as to how it would have went down if they actually went by the votes like they should have.


Anyways, my two ♥'s are still in the competition: Drew, Melanie, and Rachel.


The survival battle



Marcus Canty



Better than his usual hurt performances, but some of those notes were rough!

In all honesty, while I do like kids, I am usually not a big fan of their songs, but The X Factor USA's Rachel Crow has changed all of that for me. She doesn't have that typical corny kidz bop sound at all, she truly has a professional sound. In fact if you have been tuning in, she has been one of the more consistent acts on the show.


The majority of the contestants on X Factor flip flop around and lack consistency in their performances. Besides Rachel, the only other contestants that pose a threat to her are Melanie, Astro, and Drew. The rest simply do not do it for me, they are either painfully boring or great one week and then utter garbage the next week.


When Rachel sung Etta James, "I'd Rather Go Blind" she owned that song, not once was she off key or missed a beat. At first I was caught off guard because I am thinking "Simon, picked this song?". When it was revealed that Rachel picked her own song it made more sense because usually Simon has the weirdest taste when it comes to song choices. While I enjoy Simon as a TV personality, his taste in music is not the greatest, and sometimes I wonder what in the world he is hearing, like that horrible Tiah Toliver.







From the time of her performance of Beyonce's "If I Were a Boy", I have been in love with this curly cutie's voice. Even with today's rock theme, she still turned it out. If she does not win the competition, she is sure to get a contract. Loving those curls Rachel! Muah babez good luck ♥
