    Lauryn Hill for the win, y’all. Man, she was gorgeous. And, then a Marley happened to her… SMMFH

    It irritates me when people go on about Bey saying she has lightened her skin and had a nose job, She has never really had strong black features and to me she looks no different. Gorgeous then,Gorgeous now.

    Y does it say favorite black female singers? Y can’t it just be favorite female singers? We hear the name, we see the face, we know they are black …Y is that even mentioned? Emphasizing unnecessary doltishness as if it matters

  • giselle

    I bet Jennifer Hudson cringes at the site of those crochet braids

  • Mark Thomas

    I wonder how much outrage there would be if the headline read: “…our favorite white female singers:.

    RIHANNA IS SO FUCKABLE

  • Blayke_Love

    she actually was 9 on Star search….

  • Angela

    “which is why her har is long” LOL! So black people are genetically incapable to have long hair? The only way a black person could have length is if they’re mixed with another race?

  • Regina

    Keri, Nikki, Rihanna, Mya are entertainers they are not singers.

    Keri Hilson looks like a computer generated age progression of a missing
    child…Whitney was gorgeous…and I think Ashanti’s middle name is
    pronounced sha-koy-yah…smh at Tina Douglas on that one lol I
    am beautiful woman and I love good man…..inter racial romance is my dream… so I
