The Five Singers That Just Don't Get The Hint (Female)

Call this post a rant or what you will, but there are a few singers I'm so sick of at this moment. I can't stand their new music. I say their new music because some of their old stuff is in heavy rotation at the KSP penthouse, but the new stuff is trash. They need to be told and being that nobody is telling them, I've elected myself to be the bearer of bad and obvious news. Read on people.

Nivea
In my opinion, this woman has two good songs. 'Don't Mess With My Man' and 'Okay' get spins from me eveery once in a blue moon. To be exact, that means once every four hundred years. Now, some will say that 'Laundrymat' with R.Kelly is hot, but that's false. Let's not even get on Kellz. This is about the women. Nivea sings flat and she tries too hard to have a swag. Needless to say, the swag thing is ridiculous. Having every color from the beauty supply store in your hair doesn't make you look cool. You look like a zebra dipped in rainbow dye. Her dancing is worse than some drunk white people I've seen. And I've seen some drunk white people doing some crazy things. Nivea needs to sit down somewhere, strip her hair, and take some singing lessons while she's at it.

Ashanti
This former Murder Inc. songstress hasn't had a real hit since her second album. Even that hit was dissed because of the lack of originality and substantial lyrics. That's her problem. How can she write J.lo's best songs and write crap for herself? Another problem is the fact that she's always late on trends. Let's start with examples more recent. She has three flat twist on oneside with the rest of her hair relaxed and down. Didn't Alicia Keys rock that in the 'If I Ain't Got You' video? Yes, she did. Ashanti started using rock guitars on her albums. Wasn't that cool when Lil Jon was the go to producer? Sure, it was. We don't even need to talk about her debut being chock full of beats from Bad Boy's '94 era. So Ashanti, write some material with substance and get beats without samples. If you can't do that, take another vacation from recording, an indefinite extended vacation.

Olivia
This songbird has had more label drama than a gangster flipping from Bloods to Crips. After putting out a brick over at J Records, she was dropped. Now to be fair, Olivia isn't a bad singer, she has always been overshadowed. She and Alicia Keys were the first two acts to come out on J Records. They dropped both of their albums, one sank and the other swam. Guess which is which. After the J Records debacle, she signed to G-Unit. That was a good look at the time because that was the hottest rap label/crew. After a few singles she featured on, that relationship fizzled. Olivia needs to find a spot that will concentrate only on her. Being that the record industry is in a decline, she won't find that. Independent is the best way for her to make any money, if she's willing to put in the grind time. She gets a pass if she comes out with some explosively hot music. But only time will tell.

Cassie
I cannot stand this girl. She is cute enough to be a model, but doesn't have enough talent to be a singer. All the credit for her success should go to Ryan Leslie and Diddy. Ryan Leslie wrote her biggest and only hit, 'Me & U'. He featured her on the radio staple, 'Addiction'. Cassie would have to resort than doing more than shaving a side of her head to get publicity, if it weren't for him. I don't exactly know if there is any truth to the rumors about her being Diddy's jump, but if they are, that would explain a great deal. Think about it, Cassie doesn't sing. She whispers off key and calls it singing. She needs to take one of those career tests to see where she would be a good fit because singing isn't the look she should be going for.

Christina Milian
This saddens me to have to write. I, actually, like the songs that she's put out.Let me clarify, everything after 'Say I' is crap. There's no other way around it, her new music is wack. To add insult to injury, she is rumored to be a fuck-for-tracks kind of girl. Think back to when 'Say I' came out, she was engaged to one of the producers of the song. She is, now, married and having The-Dream's baby. Did you forget that he's writing and producing her new album? I'm not saying any of it's true because I don't know her personally, but shit is suspicious. Yet even if she doesn't have another hit, she can always act. She's really good at that. The movie was a box office flop, but I thought "Be Cool" was hilarious. Then again, that's just me. I hope she can make a hot album and not just hot flash in the pan singles.
