borderline irate

jazmine sullivan is singing live on the 20th floor. i'm sitting here 3 floors beneath mad as hell

..ok scratch all that. i was about to go into a rant about how i wasn't gonna be able to go upstairs and see her, but i finally made it upstairs and caught the last 2 songs and i'm beyond pleased! Her voice is amazing. I have more to say but I don't feel like going thru all of it again, but i'll post my convo with my friend sean if you wanna know what i think.. all we talk is music..most of the time and his nephew (my babydaddy) lol

and if you've been living under a rock don't know who jazmine is, i put up a small bio i found online
Contemporary R&B rising star Jazmine Sullivan spent several years learning the ropes of the recording industry before signing to J Records and making her solo recording debut in 2008 with "Need U Bad." The Philadelphia-based singer/songwriter began her career at a young age, making her national television debut on Showtime at the Apollo at age 11 and signing to Jive Records at age 15. Her stint at Jive Records only lasted a couple years, however, and she was dropped by the label before any recordings were released. In the wake of this disappointment, she began working behind the scenes, for instance working with Missy Elliott on productions for Fantasia's debut album, Free Yourself (2004), and writing a couple songs for Christina Milian's third album, So Amazin' (2006), including the hit single "Say I." Sullivan was then offered a solo recording contract with J Records, which released her debut single, "Need U Bad," featuring and co-produced by Missy Elliott, in 2008. Her full-length album debut, featuring productions by Salaam Remi and Stargate, among others, followed later in the year. ~ Jason Birchmeier, All Music Guide

Him (12:52:59 PM): im glad shes getting her recognition

Him (12:53:02 PM): finally

Me (12:54:39 PM): i think the first song out produced by missy and got such a buzz should do enough

Me (12:54:45 PM): they need to let her stay in her own damn lane

Me (12:54:51 PM): i hate when they do dumb shit with great artists

Him (12:55:52 PM): i'm glad missy dont have a bunch of songs on her either

Him (12:56:06 PM): bcuz her sound doesnt always work for everybody

Him (12:56:23 PM): even though i think Monica wouldve killed i need u bad too

Me (12:59:42 PM): yea she would have def held her own

Me (12:59:50 PM): wouldnt have been as soulful and hearty though

Me (12:59:55 PM): but it would have sounded great

Him (12:59:59 PM): monica is soulful

Me (1:00:02 PM): and i could hear missy saying new monica over it

Him (1:00:12 PM): i just think jazz's voice is a little deeper

Him (1:00:42 PM): smokiness gives her a fuller soulful sound

Me (1:01:04 PM): precisely
