Lauryn Hill

L Boogie dropped the classic The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill in 1998, won some Grammys, became one of music’s biggest stars and then fell off the radar. There hasn’t been a sequel or even a teaser of the greatness of that disc, and aside from her Unplugged joint, if she’s been in the studio, only she knows. In an era of Nicki Minaj and her Barbz, wigs and female MC’s taking to Twitter to air each other out, the genius of Lauryn is sorely needed. She dropped rhymes that made you think and not these sing along tracks that have taken over radio.

    very good listing of celebrities…let add JENNIFER HUDSON AND NIA LONG to the list…but acting HALLE BARRY I dont get all the hype about her acting unless she pilaying some THING THAT SHE can get down and dirty THEN SHE SHINES BUT THAT PRETTY GIRL STUFF she can do that with her eyes close…but keep the wide open

  • Papillon

    Can we add Ciara to that list? Say what you will about her singing (I personally think she’s no worse than Rihanna) but when it comes to dancing, no one can touch her. I love her videos, and I’d pay just to watch her dance.

  • fetchit

    I’ll take an older Pam Anderson, Haillie Berry. Hot bodies make the Peter Pecker

  • Cairo5

    I was ready to start cussin if miss Hill was not on this list, lol. This is the epitome of a great black female singer. She can rap to. Its so sad that she’s not in the industry these days. It was like is lost a limb when she vanished from the scene. Oh miss Hill please please come back. U know you would blow all these female singers out of the water. She had it all, beauty, voice and charisma. Lauryn is the Queen and she needs to take her place back at the top.

    i think halle’s next performance knocking out the press! lol

  • KMIL

    Who wrote this mess. Dmx yes, Allen I, yes, Lauren Hill yes… but you putting Halle, Mariah, Janet with them OH my goodness please sit down. MAriah is crazy paid her last album did crazy good. She just had babies her Halle are enjoying their kids with that long paper. Janet just landed a big endorsement … I feel you on this LESY.. Madame norie plesa

  • Lesy

    Uhm please Halle is sitting on racks on racks… she dominated and took time away to take care of child and the ugly custody battle. Halle is and was a beast. She does not do movies for scale.She makes serious paper. Check her worth. Just cause someone takes a break does not mean they need a career rivival. People who need that are people who have not been getting checks lately and are really trying to remain relevant. Fantasia, Ashanti, Cassie (never had a career), Ciara, Lark V, Michelle Williams from Destinys child, Ruben Studard that in music – acting would be lauren london, Nia long… etc.. These are people are trying to come back but it has not been working. They need this list … Halle Berry is sitting pretty on Millions… if she wanted to come back to acting there would not be a problem.

    So true with what the writer stated in the article regarding “stars coming and going”…..I am a big time Janet Jackson and Lauren Hill fan and miss them dearly……They had FIRE!…..As for music today its nothing but crap and for me there is really nobody that I am interested in….I like alot of RiRi’s music but still something is missing……..As for Halle Berry I personally always felt she is mediocre as an actress….Maybe she will comeback with a movie that will really make her shine again.

    • Nitty

      Don’t ever put janet jackson in the same line as Miss L.Hill..what’s wrong w.these kids nowadays?
      Janet has no talent except try too hard to be white.
      Sit down

      • Love_Sexy

        Those are my choices I choose to be a fan of and if you don’t agree so be it…..Please do not tell me who not to place on the same level…..I have my opinion like you have yours…..Respect it…..Good Day!

    I’m going to preface this with a “don’t judge me” but I really miss boy bands. I miss a group of guys that can dance and sing catchy love songs. This includes pop and r&b: nsync, backstreet boys, 112, boys II men. 

    I’m NOT talking mindless behavior. 

  • Ay

    How about some new blood? TALENTED new blood? It’s never as good as the first time *Sade voice*

    • Love_Sexy

      So true…….Sade is another person I love too.

    I miss L-boogie! :(

  • justme

    I feel Janet really shouldnt be on this list as she has been handling the acting side of things.

    • superwoman

      She is on this list because she needs to stick to music and stop acting…Please! 

      • Mia

        Well she started as an actress, and actually she’s not that bad. I think music is what she needs to leave alone. When she was hot she didn’t move past her hot young image, if she had she might have become a performer like Sade.

      • Lesy

        Girl Janet is paid. Have two seats. SHe has an endorsement. A failed album here and there doesnt mean career failure. She has an endorsement deal with nutri system, to land an edorsements you have to still be worth something. You dont see Ciara with any or Cassie. Just because you have not seen someone does not mean their careers failed. LOL

        • 01whatever

           You must be a kid cause even though I’m thirty and you may consider this old.  People back in our history sang music with feelings and overall experiences in or from their life that they’re going through to face it and maybe help others. You all want to do hits with no consideration for fans just for a ego and money which is selfish. Also, this will eventually get old and won’t last. Plus Janet been paid since she was a kid. Hello!!!

      • Nitty

        Ha ha ha
        She needs to stop trying too hard to be white
        she needs to open her mouth when she speaks n speak louder.smh

    • Tisha

      I was thinking the same thing

  • IllyPhilly

    It’s said when we need people to come back. No, we need to produce a better quality of new celebs. 

  • tee

    Eve should be on the list…..

    • superwoman

      yes she should!
