Unfortunately, she did go throught it. Once her stardom took off for real, he couldn't handle it. He wanted her to stay home more often and tone it done. She explained to him that the secret to her success was the fact that it's not an act, it is who she is and she had to do what God gave her the talent to do. He gave her an ultimatum and she gave him the boot. However, it inspired her to keep it moving.
You know, I hope she didn't experience the pain of the song. But I suspect that she experienced it, she sings every word with an expression of reality. She sings it with real feelings.
anyways Jill scott will always b da queen of neo soul music bump all da negativity dat ppl r throwin at her she is woman o soul n beauty. i will always luv jill!!!!
Maybe to all the idiots out there that is making this more than what it should be. Just maybe she wanted to change her look. You know as we sometimes do! Being black, White, Green, Red do you look the same everyday? I hope the hell not! Jill be versatile! Switch it up on us! It won't ever change her spirit you can feel even on video
I am sooooooooooo disappointed in her; she cancelled her last date here in the uk due to sickness, still; i waited so long to see her; i don't know if i should hate her or not
nahhhhh dont hate her...her illness was real.....keep lovin her not to many artist give you such....such real lyrics real raw emotions she takes you somewhere in her and when you emerge all you want to is return to her...well from my perspective
ok y would u b dissappointed in her if she had 2 cance her uk. due 2 her sickness. u're actin like she had a choice i mean would rather 4 her 2 b in a bad condition than 2 go treat herself?
What's up with the perm? Why are all these so-called conscious female (sistas) coming up short in their endurance trials? When a woman of color truly finds herself does that also means she has to change her self image also? Jesus Christ says "and he that endureth to the end the same shall be saved." Black women with perms frighten me. Why, because it's NOT culturally natural. Peace
A perm is an outside appearance of a Black woman. It doesn't define who she is or what she is capable of becoming. Endurance trials?? I don't think a perm signifies throwing in the towel. Jesus Christ says "Judge Not" but I guess you missed that part. If you are not a black woman...do you really know and understand their culture? Furthermore, All Black women do not have the same culture. All people who fall into the same ethnicity do not necessarily have the same culture, value or beliefs.
I know Jesus very well. It's those who CLAIM to know Jesus I choose to miss. "Open rebuke is better than secret love." [Proverbs 27:5] Do ye not know that the saints shall JUDGE the world? and if the world shall be judged by you, are ye unworthy to judge the smallest matters? [1Corinthian 6:2] Many black women have fallen short of their true glory. 1.Virtuous, 2. Shamefaced humble,and 3. Holy. Praise the Lord!!!
I mentioned endurance because before black women began to climb the corporate ladder etc. white corporate america imposed a ban on their cultural being(as braids.) Black women began to feel better about themselves when they emulated caucasian women. Straightened hair is dead hair. And pale skin doesn't classify being fair. Fair means Beautiful. Black women look more beautiful in their natural born appearance. Wooly hair, breathing wide noses, full lips and a true soul spirit and mind. Peace.
Since when does your consciousness get determined by your hair. If you are a conscious woman you don't suddenly lose that cuz you got a perm? Consciousness is about spirit, not hair. If you are afraid of a perm you might want to strengthen your spirit.
Not to call you ignorant. But the honest truth about black women perming their hair is deeper than YOU know. The hot iron seeps bacterial cancers into the blood stream through the scalp, risking not only a health hazard danger but also baldness. Anything that causes harm is of the devil in its temptation. Consciousness is about being aware of what we do, and the sudden dangers behind it. If you are over 30, you should know better.
I'm not too concerned about noting any sarcasm. I more concerned about my black people serving ONE Lord, ONE Faith and ONE baptism for that sweet note of unity. That is the only note that I want as mark. Our disobedience to the creator and Lord Father should be mentioned often. I'm a tired so-called black man, tired of arguing with black women in their false knowledge eatin' eden fruit of evil liberty. Peace.
You are gentle in your comment approach nolayella. But still in all. Black women need to stop in the confusion images and stay as pure in appearance as their heritage ancestors. Jesus Christ says this age is neither hot nor cold but lukewarm. Natural wooly hair, or no. Let europeans look their way, and let us(so-called blacks) stay ours. Even a long beard on a man distinguishes him from a woman, right? Peace
You are talking only about how she looks in this video...Ok I do respect your opinion, but comeone...I didn't see not even one remark commenting on her music and talent!?!
The holy proverb says, Humility comes before honour! And so many of us need to be humbled just to see right in truth. Having fervent love for the Lord Father's word, I can't give glory to those who fail to enlighten the children of the world. Either we love god or no. In innocent disguise, satans vanity influence many of the songs today. She (among others) should feed the lost sheep, with feeding words that's found in The Holy Bible. Be not only hearers of the word, but also doers. Amen!
i love this womans person her aura radiates a brilliance that intensifies her voice and it's ethereal range.....i love her with the "fro" or with the weave or permed...only if she had a video for crown royale on ice..i'd star in it with baby oil all over my...urrgghh ok i'm nauseus at that thought sorry...lmao
Neither is white people born with straight hair and get curly perms. Or it's not "natural" to chop your hair off, edge it up, or clip it. I mean in essense natural is what it is... hence the term "going natural" and simply doing nothing other than what's necessary to keep it clean. Black women perming their hair means no more than it is; styling. What looks good on you looks good on you and it's not for you or anyone else to dicipher why she, he, I, or they chose to do so.
I absolutely love Ms. Scott. Her thoughts are real, her words are powerful, her voice is melodic, and she draws you into her world every time she blesses us with a cd.
you got this song from the LIMITED EDTION dvd right? man i wanted to get it. but it wasnt found by the people in the store so i had to settle for average THE REAL THING. but it is THE REAL THING. the others werent fake but this 1 is real.
Jill looks so lovely, and exposed in this video, she truly is an attractive women. I sooo love this song. Her skin looks amazing, and those eyes are so expressive. I can feel the pain in her voice. I haven't stopped playing this CD since I bought it last week, thank goodness I bought both I wanted both covers and I've truly worn out the deluxe CD. Crown Royal on ice, short, sweet and to the point. I wish it was longer. Jills truly an amazing woman. I can't get enough of her music.
i just got the album wednesday. and the night i did, i broke up with my lover. dammit. b4 it happened, it was just a good cd. after it happened, the cd made me the most depressed ive ever been in my life. lol. i can laff about it now..
Just purchased the CD yesterday..it's awesome!!! I've been thru a divorce so i understand but don't get it twisted, the entire CD isn't about heartbreak..just check it out..u won't be disappointed
I am in love with love, for love is you and you are my love in style! Jill Scott is my all time favorite musician,entertainer,songstress, and human being and that is love. For her kind of love is always in style!
This song is a beautifull hard stab at the heart. This kinda makes me think of past lovers and how I felt this after they thought that perhaps maybe the grass was greener on that other side --- but I say hey " grass is grass baby!... no matter what the COLOR is or was! ... and when you get over there then you weeping over the huge loss of what you didn't failed to realize what you really had! umm. umm. umm.
You know, ain't too many people out there that can get over on a video with mostly facial shots and expressions. And that's why Jilly is one of those people. I loved everything about this video. Can't wait til' the CD drops. Do your thang, honey! Lyzel is in a corner somewhere beating his head in with a lead pipe. BALLIN'!!!
So far everything I heard from this album is awesome. The Sampler is great. This isn't morbid at all- no death and dying, its heavy.. but she just went through a divorce... what do you think it's going to be.
Frist of all she does not look like Angie Stone, but she does look hecka different and i agree her soul is beautiful. But i think her album cums out sept. 27 this song is kinda dark with a lot of emotion almost morbid.
ive done a cover of this song check it out.
