Are They SERIOUS ?!?!?!?

I chose not to post the full video, if you would like to view it in FULL, do so at your own risk...

It seems like 2009 is going to be the year of girl groups, some good ("Dear Jayne" check em out) some bad (like these girls).

This is "Jane 3". I don't know jack about them nor do I care, but can someone tell me how old they are, because during the verses they look 15, but during the chorus they jumped 10 years ahead and look 25 which is very non-age appropriate by the way

I'm a little upset that I even sat through this atrocity on BET. All I have to say is Music seems like it's getting good again. It seems like were quickly going back to the way music was made in the golden era (the 90's). Lately the public is doing a good job weeding out the good sh!t and the bull sh!t, and this is the latter.

These girls are going to make it as far as I can throw a shot put.

NEEEEEEEEEEEEEEXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

And..... They're Back!!!

So I was gonna be a jerk and place this under the "can girl groups make a comeback" section, but that would be kinda rude, funny but rude. Well Incase you haven't already heard, everyone's favorite Independent Women Destiny's Child have decided to give it another go and reunite less than 4 years after calling it quits. BARE IN MIND that this reunion was not by choice no, no, no, no, no.

You see many moons ago when "Girls Time" (the name they went by in the mid-late 90's) originally got signed to Columbia Records, Papa Knowles and the label agreed to a 5 ALBUM deal. 1998 saw their boring debut, 1999 saw "The Writings On The Wall" (still their best album imo and most successful in America), 2001 saw the pop-friendly "Survivor" and 2004 saw the soulful "Destiny Fulfilled". Now as you can see that's only 4 ALBUMS, so due to their 12 year old contract they still have ONE more album to record, and due to the recession Columbia Records wants it out this year, or really early 2010, becuz they know as well as we do that this is one group they'll see some profit from.

Soooo Ms. Kelly gets dropped last week and Beyonce's latest album is not doing to well compared to the previous releases and Michelle's first "r&b" album (which was released in October) has sold roughly 70K in the U.S. to date. So this reunion comes as absolutely no surprise to me. I expected this news to hit us EXACTLY this year around this time. So when everybody was commending Queen Bee for going back to record "Destiny Fulfilled" after selling nearly 10 Million WW with her solo debut album, its not because she wanted too, it was because she had to. Its also funny that this news comes along after Kelly is reported to be on suicide watch....... You know the Knowles clan is full of secrets and scandals. I believe they had this planned the whole time. I bet you their 1st single is already recorded and was written by Solange.

Do YOU think this was planned or coincidental ?

Can Girl Groups Make A Comeback ? (Vol. 2)... RICHGIRL

And up next on the dock we have another somewhat new girl group that goes by the name of........ RICHGIRL. (from l-r) Audra, Brave, Lyndriette & "Seven". This group was groomed and created by Rich Harrison. The man who's produced Beyonce's hit single "Crazy In Love" and Amerie's "One Thing".

The girls haven't even made a buzz, but their name has. Harrison wants to make it clear to the public, that he didn't name the RICHGIRL, because his name is Richard or because he's trying to make the group seem high maintenance. The name RICHGIRL stands for "a certain attitude and confidence, combined with individuality and talent that any girl might possess, each in their own way." As a friend of mine said "a pretty glamorous was to call them gold diggers". Im just a little frustrated with people calling their groups names that a solo singer should use (ex: Isyss). I just thought that ship had sailed a long time ago. It was really innovative back in the day, but it became so non-creative once the music industry did the exact same thing.

Their single "24's" (which also goes by the title of "24 inches") is a very catchy song which I could see having a decent video and getting their named out there, but had this single been released 3 summers ago, maybe even 2, they would have had a HUGE HIT on their hands. Rich Harrison kept his signature "one thing" sound throughout this song, which i expected, but Im not sure if it was a good idea. I mean yes it's great that he stuck to what he knows can possibly be a hit, but that sound is rather played out now I think. He still does have a chance for people to like it though, and THANK YOU RICH for not allowing these ladies and their beautiful voices to be distracted by yet another vocoder heavy track.

What do YOU think ??? Hit or Miss ???

Can Girl Groups Make A Comeback ? (Vol.1)... DEAR JAYNE

15 years ago girl groups like Jade, Xscape, SWV, Brownstone, TLC & En Vogue were making their mark in the billboard charts. Pumpin out hit songs we still know and love today. 10 years ago 702, Destiny's Child & even the Spice Girls were making their mark in the industry. Within the last few years we have had little to no girl groups compared to the 90's.

Brutha 2 and myself (Brutha 3) have a soft spot for girl groups (not too sure about Brutha 1, he's very sometime-ish, lol j/k) but I have hopes that one day girl groups (with substance) will make a comeback onto the music scene which leads me into this post...

Exibit A - DEAR JAYNE

Dear Jayne (from l-r) Lindsey (19), Ashlee (22) and Jasmine (22) are an r&b/pop trio now hailing from none other than ATL. Some sources say the group was formed in 2005 others say 2006, but at this point that shouldn't matter because still NO ONE KNOWS THEM.

Dear Jayne is mentored by The-Dream (not sure why) and started to record and release material in 2007. In Feb 2008 Dear Jayne released their first single "Rain". The beat driven mid-tempo track didn't fair too well on the charts. The single only peaked at a dissapointing number 99 on the Billboards hot r&b/hip-hop songs chart. Their second try was the uptempo "Fallback" (featuring The-Dream) which was released in August of '08 and charted even lower than their first single.

Now The-Dream hasn't given up just yet on Dear Jayne. They have decided to spice things up for 2009 by releasing a brand new song "Double Take" (rumored to be their new single). The sound of the moment right now is "International Pop", artists are not thriving to just please America anymore now they have realized that if you want to get PAID in this fickle industry you need take thangs across the globe.

"Double Take" has a very rock'n'b-ish vibe to it. If they label decides to release it sometime soon (like within the next 2 weeks). They could possibly have a female summer anthem on their hands. Although my only complaint is I'm not sure what Ashlee is singing about in the 1st verse, and maybe they should consider altering it. "he's the only one with strut on the range", "sho thinkin something mean in those jeans". I'm guessing they mean his car is nice and he's well endowed I'm not sure lol.

You see I'm from Canada so maybe someone can fill me in on what they mean (If I don't understand how would Europe) lol. With those minor changes maybe this time they may get noticed at least.....
