Why I've not being posting love and hip hop, R&B Divas and updating my blog.

I think I have to share. Things too a bad turn because my father passed away. He died. So I had to cope with that. Then I had to look for a new job which I found eventually. Afterwards I started to write a novel and joined an online writing workshop called Scribophile so that took up all my time.  I have missed blogging, even with my appalling spellings and grammar.

I have missed watching these shows and giving my opinions. So I still have a few more things to do but like pass exams but I hope to start blogging again.

Daddy died, new job and trying to make sense of it all. There are some new shows which I'm looking forward to catching up on. They look so yummy! I'll also be giving updates about my novel. It's good even if I say so myself. Yeah, I still on the first draft but I'll be posting some of it for poeple to read.

I used to have a writer's website but I'm done with that now. It's hard to maintain stuff so I'll be doing it all here and just be tagging it.

I do miss watching and blogging my reality shows. Does any think that Love and Hip Hop Atlanta is too polished now? It is like it's only for the cameras and story but not real life? I don't know, ya'll. Anyway lets see how this goes.

R & B Divas LA season 2 episode 4: Chrisette is a prude, Lil Mo's hair is looking fine, Chante is looking shady.

Not much this show sometimes I think I'm over the reality show thing. But I  LOVE LIL MO'S HAIR STYLE.



Chante is a bit odd and shady this episode. I'm not sure where she is going in this episode. Since the girls want thier contributions to be offcial and contracted on her record she seems to be kicking up a stink and taking it personal. Then again, she said she's going through a messy divorce, custordy case and then getting over the whole Kelly 'Sharp edge' Price drama of last season.


Leela, Chrisette, Lil Mo and Michelle meet up

Later Leela calls the girls freaky because they told her about initmate details of thier live. We know Leela is the type to read 50 Shades of Grey on a Kindle so no one will know.  It puts Chrisette off sharing.  Mo reveals she's had some girl on girl action but says she's not gay.

Marchmaker

Michel'le the babymomma of Dr Dre and Suge Knight wants a 50 plus year old man with a swag. Ok. Then she goes on a date. He want to see her eyes which was sweet.

Lil Mo is has a sex toy party


Chrisette is such a prude when it comes to sex toys. Interesting. So she doesn't turn up. Really, it only bits of plastic or silicone and having a laugh. It's not that serious. Hmmm...I think she's probably quite uptight in some ways. Yet she wants others to go for her therapy sessions.

Anyway it was quite funny and  ya'll need to watch this. A whole new education.

Girls meet up again in the studio with Shady Chante Moore.

 As I said Lil Mo's hair is looking good.



Chante and Lil Mo are going head to head. Lil Mo is angry because Chante didn't retweet her single. I didn't know tweets where that important. 'Shady Chants' Chante starts to cry and then goes in on Lil Mo tweeting a picture of Chante's ex. Chante turns on the waterworks and starts to cry. However I do beleieve that Chante's useless PR manage her twitter on her behalf so Lil Mo should be forgiving.

And that's where I quit watching. It is really just the same old drama as last season with two new comers so nothing really new. Maybe Claudette has a bigger part, Chante is being snobby to Michel'le - I don't think this is the case. I think Chante Moore is more careful because of the baby daddies. One day she might want to do a song with Dre or something. Just saying. So there must be a reason there.

Oh well.

R&B Divas LA Season 2 Episode 3: It's all about Pink Elephants in the room; Chante blows her own horn, Chrisette goes all 'Oprah Dr Phil', Lil Mo cries over marriage break up and Leela James keep is real.

First, I need to get serious about this. if you are feeling low and in trouble there is always someone to talk too.  As as long as they continue with this message, I feel morally bond an a human to spread it. So
For those in the USA The American Foundation for Suicide Prevention (AFSP)-  http://www.afsp.org/. So if you are in crisis, call 1-800-273-TALK (8255)

for those in the UK  08457 90 90 90 * (UK)
http://www.samaritans.org/ (UK)

And always remember to ring the emergency services if something has happened.

 Now for my comments. The divas are Chanté Moore, Lil’ Mo, Claudette Ortiz, and Michel’le, with new commers  Chrisette Michele and soul singer Leela James.


My opinion on the new girls

Boojie Chrisette, the softly spoken star with attitude is quietly coming into her own. Yah, upper middle class girl who knows her mind and may not do what she needs to do to go forward in the music industry. Leela James keeps it real all the time.

Chante and her PR

Please. Chante Moore is making too much of big deal about the other's divas' attitude. I don't know I think Chante is bigging herself up. There has being some miscommunication why not just get backing singer? Ah, she wants names. Egos all round. So it on both sides. Yes she's sung for Whitney Houston, Stevie Wonder, Micheal Jackson and Patti LaBelle but she's missing a trick - she isn't them. I'm sure Chrisette will gladly sing backing to those stars too. Those are industry legends so I'm feeling not this.

Chante Moore should have been clear from the beginning about backing because she is going to use their names to market the single. Why not just get session singers? Sorry, I forgot she wants to use their names to market her song.


Claudette and Michel'le talk Suicide

What part is Claudette playing now? Is she like the mother of the group? Well, lets look at the players from last season: Lil Mo just wants to be the centre of attention (her antics are getting a bit boring now), Chante is nobody's mama and other two are new on the block. Actually I think  Michel'le and Chrisette are natural nuturers but we need to go by what their contract says and it's Claudette. Oh, I forgot Michel'le is the troubled one - remember the helplines above if you feel the same way.


Leela and Chrisette




I spoke too soon about Chrisette being like mama of the group. Chrisette is like all intervention, therapy and group hugs. Leela is all 'uh uh, honey I just want to make music'.


 She isn't into all that BS bonding for the cameras.  I'm 100 percent with her on this. This is silly, I agree with her. "Kubaya, Dr Phi Oprah' moment then they go bitching behind each others back. I agree with Leela James she just wants to make music.

http://www.leelajames.com/

Check out her single.



They start talking about the song. Leela James is all make lemonades out of lemons and keep on moving.  Leela James doesn't do therapy. She doesn't do 'Iyala Oprah'. Chrisette is very new age in her thinking - oh now we can see conflict there.

To me they are both right depending on background.  Leela has a point and Chrisette had a point. I think Leela James is just about making good music and collecting checks\cheques while Chrisette is into good vibes and harmony. Who cares?

Chrisette and her lawyer.

Chrisette and her lawyer sit down to discuss the details of Chante Moore song debacle/charade. I'm totally with Chrisette on this, it's just a little shady the way her management sent some kind of contract but not real contract to the others. Professional presentation is everything. A nice email with proper salutation and spell check would have been better.

Or even a contract on letter-headed paper. How can Chrisette take it seriously? Chante's team messed up. There is no 'informal' in business especially when Chante is going to benefit. In some respects maybe that's why Chante Moore isn't the star she's supposed to be. If you have a rubbish team behind you then there is only so far you can go. I'm just saying....




Chrisette's lawyer is sharp but diplomatic because he's like well for no fee maybe  Chante can do a return feature 'back up' on Chrisette's record but the truth is how much is a Chante feature worth? Ouch.

Lil Mo and her record

She's crying about her situation but I still don't get it. Please help me out. Last season it was all roses and love and now she's saying about her emotional state and bashing Phillip on TV.


I don't know. Anyway I did a little research and found he cheated on her so she cheated on him and now it's done.  It's a messy affair.


 Michel'le, Claudette Chrisette Michele and Leela James go for therapy.

Chrisette is like all they do is meetings, studio time, singing, writing, but never talk (I think maybe because they are just co-workers not friends?). Leela James keeps it real saying she doesn't want all this fake bonding only never to meet up again. I understand what she means - she doesn't want to act for the cameras.

Then again I sense Chrisette may be difficult to work with since she had all this postive vibe demands. Some people just want to work and go home. They don't care all about this postive energy stuff. That's for wealthy singers who have their bills already paid. Just saying.

They are all looking bored and with  Lil Mo and Chante missing there isn't much to be done. Michel'le is very strong in insisting that the others cannot be spoken for. She's always straightforward in her dealings.

Leela James starts to say about how she thinks it's a bad idea, which  Chrisette takes  personal because she thinks thinks Leela James is disrespecting her. However, Leela had told her before she didn't agree with the therapy outlook but will go. I understand because Leela James probably thinks it's just for the show. Bullswanky. Boojie petty stuff.

Anyway, the therapist thinks they all need to get together to discuss what their issues are. Okay. Leela James says something like they need to put the  pink elephants, roaches put them on the table and keep pushing. For her she justs prays about it and lets it go.

What a hot mess.

The girls meet up

Chante Moore, Lil’ Mo, Claudette Ortiz, and Michel’le, with new comers  Chrisette Michele and Leela James are all finally in the same room. Whoa. It's cold but it gets icy when they start talking issues.

Chante  Moore feels hurt about her song but we all know it wasn't done in the proper way. She needs to have a word with her management about being professional.


 She then goes on about issues with her and Kelly Price. To be fair, they just prattled along that I lost track and interest but what I did hear was  Chrisette being a bit mean saying Chante had a lot of pink elephants to pack in small frame. Hmmm.... not sure what she meant it but it sounded like Chante was uptight and had anal retention/consipation due to pink elephants stuck up her ass - my words not hers.

If Michel'le issues have affected you in any way and you need help please call.

R&B Divas LA Season 2 Episode 2: Lil Mo cusses out yet another ex huband on the show, Chrisette is way too polite in her attitude, Chante wants backing singers.



 I'm finding this series so dry, nothing is happening.  Anyway the whole story line for this show is the ladies coming together to do a song to promote tourism in Puerto Rico at their canival. So we understand that.

 I don't have much to take about so let me just get what caught my attention.


Mo does some Phillip Bashing with Claudette

Mo goes to confide in Claudette about her pain about her her ex husband.  Honestly I don't care. I'm sorry, I just don't care and feel this is her story for the show. I mean what the heck happened. How do you lose a husband in a year? What happened?  I don't know...what happened - how did you did fall out of love. I don't understand.

Last season she was fighting her ex husband for custorady now she dropped this one so it's ex number two. I don't know.

Phil Bashing with the the kids


Then Lil Mo goes on to tell her children is divorcing on TV. Really? Dollars speak volumes. Oh Gawd Daddy bashing - another black man trashed in TV. For the last five years! So that was all pretend loving last season?

Chante in studio.

Okay this is just promo for Chante so I'm moving on, cause it's boring but she's thinking of doing a single with the other ladies. Yawn.

I NEED SOMETHING TO HAPPEN IN THIS SHOW! NOW!

Chrisette perform at some joint.

She drinking her herb tea while her Mama shouting she's doing a favour by coming to the ghetto but Chrisette is a pro thinks it's bad to keep fans waiting. Chrisette throws a diva attidude saying if she can't sing she will walk. To be fair to keep her back to 11.45pm is a little too late since she'll be tired.


Chrisette is an amazingly talented singer but I think she needs a little more attitude otherwise comes over boring. She's way too polite but then she'e middle/upper middle class girl and wasn't raised on the streets. She's not thirsty and is what I'd call a proper musican.

However her proformance left a lot to be desired for. It was very poor.

Leela James gets first Tattoo.


Leela James is peered pressured into getting her first tattoo. Like how old is she for that foolishness? Is it really true? Dollars talk again maybe it's in the contract. Still boring. Then little Mo jumps in on the attention. Her me me me attidude is a little annoying.

Chante gets backing singers

Chante invites Chrisette, Leela James and Lil Mo to sing on a song. The only catch is that they are really doing backing. Really? It is a bit insulting, it's not like Chante is a major A Lister star. Chrisette is straightforward but polite and tells Chante she doesn't do backing. I agree with her however Lil Mo is just cowardly. Big mouth in confessionals but quiet in front. Leela James in the same.


Chante goes all high and mighty at Chrisette's words saying she did back up for x, y and x. Who cares. I don't. The fact was she was dishonest in letting the women assume they will have vocals.

Chrisette is pretty classy but I think she still needs a little bit more star attitude. She's very polite, driven and speaks her mind but quietly. I think she needs to be a little more out going in personality so she's memorable.

R&B Divas LA Season 2 Episode 1: Meet the new girls Chrisette and Leela James.

I'm finally back, it's a long story but basically didn't have the time to watch TV anymore.

I watched it a little late and it was a little boring for my taste. Nothing really happened, I feel like saying bring back  Princess Double D Dawn  Robinson or Kelly 'Straight Edge, vaseline and timbo' Price. I need me some drama. I know it's supposed to be positive but there is only so much awesomeness I can take.

They all meet up and Lil Mo's wig just takes over. Blonde? It's more like a gold hat on her head. It just take over the whole scene. I don't know. Anyway Claudette's hair is nice and shiny. They just go over last season like a recap yada rape, sucide and getting beat up. Then they start on the start on about the so called 'sistahood'. Please. I wonder who is getting paid the most this time. Claudette seems to have more air time so I reckon she's getting more this season.

Anyway Chante invites the Divas to a listening session for Leela James - who I never heard before now. Cut to Claudette's house. Play date with Lil Mo. So Lil Mo drops she left her man. WTF. She work up one morning and wasn't in love? Really? I think this is a story line because how can someone be so fickle. I just don't get it so excuse me if I don't believe that foolishness. Geez. You know these chicks will do manythign for a dollar. Actueally best way is to see if he's still managing her.

So new girl Chrisette is boring. She is an amazing artist and musican but I'm sorry, yes I judging but she's boring.There is nothing interesting about her at all, sure she'd nice but still boring. Okay I guess I'm saying she had no attitude that will allow her to stand out. She started with Riahanna on Def Jam with Jay -z and was a budding singer. Even at that point she gave an interview to 'Sister 2 Sister' saying how Riahanna was a star and they never met. At the time I felt that was a little strange but I totally get it now. She is an amazing singer, song writer, artist but star quality she needs to dig deep for some attitude to stand out. Just me.

So some singing cut to Leela James. She has a nice speaking voice. Very sultry and smooth. Nice singing voice. So the listening session ends with one song to allow Claudette to pimp her poturong project.

Interesting persson Michell'e - happy things are going well for her. What is it with bow ties and jeans. Okay they are talking about her albums. She's going all Dr Dre on that - she can't give no deadlines. Michell'e is a diva you know but quietly one.

She also wants to start a sucide foundation. Okay. So she meets Don Consouls son's who has created foundation to help those in need of care. She calls it travelling. Her mother died, then her grandmother then straved to death so it left her down. She was in a bad way. It's good to talk. Don's son says it's good to let it out.

Leela James is a gardener. Okay.

Boring Chrisette comes on. Yes, I know she's a great singer but she needs a little more attitude. Her mother is a manager I can see the resemblance.

To be fair this episode was just to establish the project -these women singing at a Puerto Rico carnival gig. So interesting in some ways.

Nothing much,.
