conservatorship, guardianship, estate, abuse.to me, it was the house/r&b hybrid i’d often tried to imagine. the attitude was reminiscent of the wine bar scene of the late 80s – only now you needed to be cool and have the cash (credit…come on, most of the clubbers were on less than £20k a year, those promoters should be ashamed). This was an expensive scene saturated with champagne and designer labels, and many of the clubs such as twice as nice operated an over 25’s door policy. i was in london, so it never really went away, but there was little evidence during 1999 that it had a presence beyond the m25. I seem to remember that after an initial bang in 1997/8, garage went back underground in 1999, bar ‘sweet like chocolate’, before a resurgence of interest later in the year that eventually took it mainstream. a significant proportion of the first wave of 2 step records were r&b covers or bootlegs. after speed garage, which was basically still 4/4 and just like us garage but faster, 2 step garage emerged. No genre of music has ever divided clubgoers like uk garage. Ol’ dirty bastard and kelis – got your money Gwen guthrie – ain’t nothin’ goin’ on but the rent Surely even monobrow could have done better at the height of oasis’ fame? this week chilli revealed she still loves him…hmmm… i’m not saying it’s right…ĭidn’t fab-macca-thumbs-aloft blaze a hot publicity trail during the divorce trial? two weeks of beatle songs on american idol, brit appearance…now a liverpool concert.Įven k-fed was well out of that family, who made even shar jackson look classy by comparison.Ĭan you say ‘marriage of convenience’? never been more convinced that usher is gay. those gold diggers are not feeling the credit crunch in the same way as the rest of us. This post is self explanatory but i’ll say one thing. lying about their ages and allegedly corrupting kids.
Not very tastefully sang about virginity with needa s…yes that old woman once known as smooth. but they nicked a classic album title, ‘meeting in the ladies room’ and this seemed to seal their fate. i might have missed something but i don’t recall the original group being so popular that we needed a sequel. Think changing faces, not updated a great deal, for the 00s. Including the sister of actress meagan good, this group were quite good and focused on uptempos, which is always a bonus.
Produced by the underdogs, but it wasn’t enough. this track is now a staple of show like ‘so you think you can dance’ and ‘bump’n grind’ on trouble. blaque actually started out ten years ago nowm as blaque ivory. Had a not bad run thanks to their mentor, left eye. Yet another ‘big on myspace’ act that didn’t translate. add that to the fact that they’re a fairly talented bunch and make quality soul not ringtone r&b and it’s difficult to see where it went wrong.Īfter being dumped by beyonce and kelly (ok, beyonce and mathew.), letoya and latavia hooked up with naty quinones and tiffany beaudoin to form short-lived anjel.
