      You must have sang backup too. i have so much respect for backup singers. Looks so hard for them to hold back lol. I know they may want to go straight ham on the mic especially since most sing better than the artist. My little sister paid her way through college singing backup and session work. To my surprised it paid well. And when they did not pay her she got studio credit so i guess that was good too. Hope your weekend is going good. Stay well 78mammiie.

To me skin bleaching is kind of mental health but more so of a self-esteem issue.

    A common theme I've noticed in this docu-series is that a lot of the artists in the 2000's were in the middle or about to be at the height of their careers, but then were caught up in a record label merger, or their record labels really dropped the ball. I tried to look into what these mergers were but couldn't find anything. Can anyone explain what happened to the record labels at the time and why they were selling out and/or just not taking care of their artists anymore?

      That and probably the Def Jam effect: new bosses not only merged record labels, but they also merged promotion teams and execution. So, not only were different labels merging (I think J Records, RCA, and Jive merged), they only took care of new acts and not the veterans, AND everyone had the same promo style. Like come on, you can't give LL Cool J and Brandy (just an example) the same promo style? They have different demographics

    Missy Elliott is a guardian angel to a plethora of people, especially to our youth. In fact, so many artists have no clue how many lives they have positively affected, right down to saving lives. I know, for myself, a good song always brightens my day and a good Christian song always lifts my spirits. That's why GOD tells us to use our Gifts/Talents to serve others, for serving others serves Him.

      @@DrBeeSpeaks I'm with you on that. The lighting has nothing to do with her skin being as light as it is now. She was a gorgeous chocolate woman. Still confident and beautiful but I'm not feeling the lightening of the skin.

    I love Tweet's honesty. "I don't have to be on my knees to talk to him". She has always been a pretty girl and now she's a pretty woman.. The background singing is her gospel roots. She has talent as a singer and a writer. I'm happy to hear from her. Looking forward to hearing something new from Tweet..
