Damn Michelle! Well Michelle has her WNBA ownership gig and her acting spots. So I think she'll be okay.
ReplyDeleteI love that TI song with Rihanna- great song!
ReplyDeleteI dont really know that much about Michelle Williams music....
True @ chi chi but I love the album, hopefully she'll pick up!
ReplyDeleteoh wow in utter shock, miss Kelly did so much better than dat....shame
ReplyDeleteI'm not surprised by Michelle #37, I like the single, but it didn't have any umph!
ReplyDeleteI'm so happy TI is top before he goes to the pen....
Yeah for Jennifer Hudson, which it could be higher, I love her voice...
Welll if Papa Knowles spent the same amount of time promotion B and Solange's album on Michelle's she would have sold a lot more... poor thing got pushed because of Solange and then got dropped right when Beyonce was coming back on the scene.
ReplyDeleteShe obviously wasn't their priority.
